Heh. I certainly wouldn't want to do it from scratch myself...
I just tracked down your work around again and now remember why it didn't
help me. I actually have a UserDb in my root directory and that's what I'm
trying to get rid of (Since I'm moving to Oracle anyway I thought I'd
change to a supported product since UserDb has been giving me a few obscure
problems at times.) So since it doesn't support the admin user either your
suggestion doesn't help. I will, however, try making a normal user folder
in a subdirectory and then try to set GUF up in a subdirectory of that...

Grin. Seeing I never managed to get into GUF's management interface in the
first place I can't really comment on how clean it is.
