		PureAdmin - A Management Utility for PureFTPd

 PureAdmin is a graphical tool used to make the management of PureFTPd a little
 easier.
 It uses the GTK+2.x widgets for its GUI and thus are not dependent on a
 specific desktop environment such as GNOME or KDE. It is, however, designed
 with the GNOME Human Interface Guidelines in mind so it should integrate
 nicely with at least GNOME.
 
 PureAdmin was inspired by KcmPureFTPd which is a graphical tool for KDEs
 control-center but the goal of PureAdmin is somewhat different than that of
 KcmPureFTPd.
 
 My goal is to create an all-in-one application that makes management and
 monitoring of a ftp-server as easy as possible. Although I believe that no
 control should be taken from the administrator, PureAdmin is there to provide
 help and sane default-values for those who are not familiar with all the
 functions of the server. An administrator could use PureAdmin as an
 alternative - or even better - as a complement to the text-mode utilities
 distributed with PureFTPd.
 
 So, to summon up the previous two paragraphs. The main goals of PureAdmin and
 the reason for its existence are:
 
 * Stand-alone application, not dependent on GNOME/KDE/...
 * Nice, human friendly GUI with easy to use and easy to understand
   options and controls.
 * Keep control of the server in the hands of the administrator.

******************Compiling and Installing PureAdmin****************************

There are generic build instructions in the file INSTALL distributed with this 
source package. There are, however, some options to the configure script that 
can be used to tune the compile to your system:

	--enable-binreloc	This will enable binary relocationability
				to PureAdmin. It essentially means that 
				the NO hard coded paths will be stored in the
				executable. This is used to be able to create
				autopackage packages. This is generally a good 
				thing and should only be disabled if you'r sure
				it causes trouble for you.
	--enable-binreloc-threads
				Enable threading support for the binreloc code. 
				You shouldn't change this! Really, don't! PureAdmin
				is multi threaded and changing this can lead to 
				weird bugs!

	--enable-debug		Enable additional debugging messages to the log 
				window. Try this if you're experiencing problem and 
				like to figure out what's wrong. Enabling this and
				sending the relevant lines to the author when doing bug
				reports gives you a golden start :-)
