Another thought for feature

[Aaron Kincer]

I'm of the opinion that running Firefox on a server is not a 
particularly good idea for a number of reasons. However, I think I know 
where some of your concern is coming from. There are some tasks which 
just get annoying to perform on a CLI (try configuring complex ACLS with 
Samba using AD accounts sometime).

Which reminds me--a good management interface needs to come out of the 
box on the server. I'm working on building my own AJAX for some of this. 
I figure I'll kill two birds with one stone--learn AJAX and free myself 
from having to manually type in setfacl commands. It gets old fast.
