A workaround is to use an include.conf file in your httpd.conf. I don't
remember the correct syntax but I'll bet you can find many examples in the
archives. Do a search for include.conf.

If you're good with Perl, I'm sure you could find where the GUI changes it
and modify it to fit your needs. My guess would be to look into
/usr/admserv/cgi-bin/.cobalt/. That's where the GUI's cgi files are on my
Raq2, but you didn't specify which Raq you were using.
