Most of the changes can be made to the templates in ispman/templates. 
The domain control panel one example where the scripts need to be 
changed a bit. Basically, I just looked for cases where the uid is 
merged with the domain.

Most operating systems have support along with the big web dev suites. 
I think it should cut down on tech support (eg firewall problems). It 
may be a bit more secure (especially if used over ssl).

The block is slightly different for the module I'm using for apache2. I 
guess I'm just thinking that it would be good to be able to specify a 
different template depending on the authentication module installed on 
that box.
