It may be as simple as that, or maybe not. I know something about a
Cobalt box was mentioned. From what I understand, these are machines
made by a division of Sun (or something) as plug-and-play sort of web
server machines...which is to say...who knows how configurable they
are out of the box without some real know-how? I had an account on an
ISP who used one of these...and the Web control panel had some
gratuitous Javascript to handle account maintenance. The admins said
they couldn't change the interface as it came that way from the
factory pre-installed. I know nothing about these machines...but it
could be that all of the stuff is set up in such a way as to make
admin of the machine easy for those who don't know a lot about the
underlying OS...but hard to modify and get into the innards. 

On the other hand, it could be that Dave doesn't feel like reading the
manual after all.
