+ <para>Reports play an important role in effectively managing systems
+ with BCFG. There are two primary functions they fulfill; providing
+ otherwise unobtainable information, and presenting additional
+ helpful information to allow for easier admistration. Reports
+ can contain information including system statistics, discrepancies
+ between specified and actual configuration, invalid configuration,
+ and auditing information among other things.</para>

+ <para>The flexible XML configuration file allows reports to be configured
+ to deliver only the information that is important. Additional reports
+ can easily be created, providing site-specific capability to manage
+ at record effiency. The capability to harvest information regarding
+ statistics, configuration, and problems in a single location should
+ prove to be powerful.</para>
