database.<BR></FONT><BR></DIV>
<DIV></DIV><BR><FONT size=2 face=sans-serif>I think I have posted this quite a
while ago but it is still on my mind. We currently configure the hosts, pages
etc using a windows database and windows front end that I wrote quite some
time ago. I keep getting the urge to convert it to a linux database and a web
frontend. However I would not do this if there is no interest in using
it.</FONT> <BR><BR><FONT size=2 face=sans-serif>The point is that you never
touch the bb-hosts file and all configuration of hosts and layouts is done via
a user interface.</FONT> <BR><BR><FONT size=2 face=sans-serif>Is there any
interest in this?</FONT> <BR><FONT size=2 face=sans-serif>Is there anyone
willing to help?</FONT> <BR><FONT size=2 face=sans-serif>If so I was going to
convert to mysql and either php or perl cgi. Any comments on this?</FONT>
<BR><BR><FONT size=2 face=sans-serif>We have 400 odd hosts here and have pages
split by priority, service, location, and support group all on the front page
but all configured via the database. </FONT><BR><BR><FONT size=2
face=sans-serif>Currently the bb-hosts is built via a perl script that
extracts the database and then generates a main bb-hosts file plus include
files for each sub-page.</FONT> <BR><BR><BR><FONT size=2
