database support for configuration files? (par t2)

[Bryan Liles]

Interesting.  I have a good start on a GTK interface to Nagios and an even 
better start to a KDE interface to nagios (drag and drop configuration 
butters my toast!!!).  One problem I see you potentially having is how  do 
you, or maybe how don't you handle templates.  Templates are real cool, but 
they some of the fun out of coding config programs.  

Oh yeah, Klysm really isn't ready for the masses.  But you can view some 
screenshots at http://osesm.sourceforge.net.
