Working with FC-5, Webmin, Usermin & Virtualmin (GPL) PART-2 WEBMIN Rumi, May 22, 2008 Webmin Well, webmin is a composite word “Web Based Admin”- literally speaking, those who scares the terminal configurations, they can try working with this Webmin. Webmin is something that I use for- Configuring and Administering SQUID Proxy server Configuring & Administering NAT Routing or even you can setup a soft router instead of a costly Router devices Configuring & Administering the LAMP servers Create different admin level for different tasks Configuring and Administering HSP system Basically, to me Webmin is kind of a “Framework” system- like an umbrella that allows other modules, applications/APIs to be incorporated like their own Usermin or Virtualmin. Anyone can work on this project and can write modules CGI applicaiton. It’s entirely written in Perl (shell coding). There are plenty of potentials in Webmin- I also did used this for Asterisk (IP-PBX) and Jabber (XMPP Messenger server). Here’s what they’d like to say on their site- Webmin is a web-based interface for system administration for Unix. Using any browser that supports tables and forms (and Java for the File Manager module), you can setup user accounts, Apache, DNS, file sharing and so on. Webmin consists of a simple web server, and a number of CGI programs which directly update system files like /etc/inetd.conf and /etc/passwd. The web server and all CGI programs are written in Perl version 5, and use no non-standard Perl modules. So, this is enough what webmin is, visit them- http://www.webmin.com Configurations (Linux) Networking
