Hi,
Even though preference is there, I do not think it's working. I have modified
all.js and added

pref("general.config.filename", "vendor.cfg");
pref("general.config.vendor", "vendor");
pref("autoadmin.global_config_url","http://myserver/autoconfig.jsc");

This caused Mozilla (1.5) to hit the webserver and download the configuration
file, which looked like :

Content-type: application/x-javascript-config

with (PrefConfig) {
lockPref("browser.startup.homepage", "http://www.google.com");
lockPref("browser.startup.homepage_override", true);
lockPref("general.config.vendor", "vendor");
lockPref("startup.homepage_override_url", "http://www.google.com");
} // End with prefconfig

No home page change is observed.

Either there is something missing in the documentation, as to how this feature
should be used, or it is simply broken. Lack of this feature is a show
stopper for a large scale deployment.
