show tech-support
I think there is a reasonable argument for a 'show tech-support' type
command that would give *all* the relevant information (minus passwords)
for a given daemon.

That way, when we get a 'my router doesn't work, please debug it using ESP
- 'cos I'm not going to give you any info' type request, we can at least
give them a consistent command to run that will allow us a fighting chance
of diagnosing their problem.

But yes, excellent idea.
