[cobalt-security] New Cobalt UI

[Thescripter@xxxxxxx]

Hi, I know there are alot of you out there that have the same thought as me: W
hy are we still using the Cobalt Control Panel? - It lacks SO many features, 
like dissabling ftp, adding pop/forwarding accounts WITHOUT a corrisponding 
user account, scheduling jobs, you must add the dns and the domain (not just 
the domain and the DNS automatically), does not let users add their own 
subdomains  - And the MAIN problem: Their WHOLE GUI is pictures, and some 
people who administer there Raq3 remotely via a 56k connection have a LONG 
wait, I have > 90 domains on my raq3, and if I had a 56k, it would take HOURS 
to download the whole main page!

I have already started to write the frame work for a New GUI for the Raq3 - 
But, it is a big job. I would really like any help i can get from you guys. If
 you guys just have snipplets of code for adding domains, dns, users and 
other usefull functions i would REALLY appreciate it. I am setting up a 
website (http://www.elitehosts.com/NewUI/) and I will let you contribute code 
and uploads, and I will let all you contribute work to it!

The new GUI will have extra features such as:
users can add domains (if admin lets them)
resetting file permissions/ownership of his/her files
Adding email accounts that DONT need user accounts to work
Option to dissable ftp
scheduling jobs
the admin can limit number of pops,ftp,telnet,forwarding accounts, subdomains 
etc.. 
Password Protect directory
Reset whole account (delete all files)
Diskspace/bandwidth CUSTOM warnings sent to customers
Perl Script debugger
Admin can allow users to add domains AUTOMATICALLY (admin can set #)
And admin can add dns, domain, admin user account ALL AT ONE TIME!
Domain and sub-domain forwarding to a different site.
Also, something very good: wildcard DNS entries (anything.domain.com will 
goto www.domain.com or anywhere else!)

Please reply to me personally at thescripter@xxxxxxx, because this list is 
TOO SLOW.
