Re: Re: Activity and bugs.

Personally, I agree with Georg.  I wouldn't
maintain my own LTSP network with a bunch of
"empty" default-only sections.  It is a waste of
time and doesn't scale.

However, the format of the lts.conf file supports
this non-sensical use, so our module should
support it, too.  If someone gets a warm, fuzzy
feeling from seeing each of their workstations
represented individually in Webmin, then they
should be able to do it.  That person could also
just go into the BIND module of Webmin, though,
as they would probably have them all in DNS.

I disagree with you and prefer the first option.
This because I think
it will be more clear to have all the hosts on
the webpage... but we
don't have to add values in the lts.conf-file,
just the host-entry,
e.g.:

  [ws001]
  [ws002]
  [ws003]

Or what do you think?
