That sure is an awful lot of work to do in order to avoid the command line
on your own Linux box (that *is* why you bought a Cobalt in the first place,
isn't it?).....   Color me stupid, but if you are going to this much work,
it seems easier to just build your own web server and avoid the "features"
like this that are a side effect of Cobalt's GUI.

My $.02 worth.
