Yes, I was discussing it with Brad. I'm glad to see another student
is interested.

Short answer: yes and no :)
Yes, I want SWAT Net Manager to be able to add/update/display as you
say. No, I don't limit it to Windows systems - Samba should be able to
do that too (both locally and remotely) and it is not based on windows
registry at all - even though it actually allows to operate on the registry.
The remote means are dce/rpc calls, the locals are - well, that depends on
the task, but commonly ldb.

First you should look at the libnet code to get a brief overview of what
it does, and then look at ejsnet providing java script layer for SWAT
services.

Have you had any experience with qooxdoo toolkit yet ?
