Starting with kadmin 5

Since today, kadmin is my new favourite project. It is a server-administration software, written in PHP, using XML-files for storing data, also as MySQL. There is neither a homepage until now nor a bugtracker or something like this but I’m able to show you my first clean work. A function to parse the content of /etc/passwd into a sorted array.

Das ist jetzt nicht dein Ernst: $kadmin_etc_passwd[$kadmin_etc_passwd_key] = ereg_replace ("\n$", ‘’, $kadmin_etc_passwd[$kadmin_etc_passwd_key]);
