<sigh>...you know, it would really be handy if one could do low-level client
management via the command line. Without installing third party utilities on
a lot of clients.
It's taken me oh, about a week to finally realize that unless I install
Server on all my boxes, there's no reasonably easy CL way to change network
configs without third party software.
Feature request...client management from the command line. No really.
