Right now it interfaces with the local filesystem and will allow users to login, manage permissions and the like and upload files. The problem is that most configuration files must be modified by root so I've been writing programs in C that run in cron. For example, I need to allow users to change the virtusertable so I have PHP write to a text file that cron parse every night and changes the virtusertable. This whole bind thing is an interesting idea that I haven't thought about implementing. Jason
