Re: [webmin-devel] Solaris Zones module

Hey Jamie,

I sent that patch to you a bit prematurely. There was an additional
add_footer missing an index.cgi and also it looks like the saving of the
sysidcfg file isn't getting pushed into the zone's /etc/sysidcfg file. I am
investigating it now. Hopefully I can track that down quickly.

As far as the patch I sent you, do you want me to send an additional patch
with just the new changes or do you want a full patch including all the
changes?
