I had the feeling that you guys did not like to publish code in CVS
before testing it. Anyway, I dont have upload access to FB-CVS tree,
but I can send the code to someone that has.

The actual code is simple an enhanced/cleaned version of the original
one ported to CLX so no console interface right now.

Can you explain what is your idea of a Win tool updating the config
files in a linux server ? I can't imagine how to do that in a
situation where there are no fisical access (read network access) to
the config files on the server. Or is there FB API's that can be used
to handle the config files that I'm missing ?

Anyway, the registry usage is optional, you can force the file to be
used passing a command line switch.
