system-config-dhcp

Hello,

Okay, this is a notice to let folks know that Mike Hoffman and I are
working on a DHCP configuration program, which I'll call
system-config-dhcp (or system-config-dhcpd?).

The first "milestone" will include basic configuration for a DHCP server
to serve ranges to one subnet.

I've looked over the system-config-* programs to see if there are any
standards to adhere to, or tools to use, and I haven't really found
any.  So, before I get too far in this, I want to find out if there are
any pointers anyone has.  My hope is for this tool is that it will come
standard in future FC releases, and I want to make sure that it matches
up with the other tools as closely as possible.

The other thing that will come of this project is that I will be
documenting the "common practises" that I am informed of, and the basic
method of writing such an application.

It is my intention to get working on the other "useful but nonexistant"
tools listed at http://fedora.redhat.com/projects/config-tools/ as soon
as this one is mature enough to be used in simple scenarios.

Brent, perhaps you'd care to comment or discuss this on irc (srbaker on
Freenode and OFTC) as I have some ideas for these types of tools that
you may find interesting; and your input would be especially helpful.

Thanks,
-Steven
