Product Description:

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.

What's new in this version:

Translation updates for Catalan (thanks to Jaume Badiella), Russian, French (by ButterflyOfFire) and Dutch (thanks to Gandyman).
Major improvements in Webmin's search function, including links to the page where the matching text or help was found.
The LDAP Server module now supports the new LDIF-format configuration files, as seen on Ubuntu 8.10.
Support for FreeBSD and OSX in the SMART drive status module.
On Solaris, the Software Packages module now uses the new CSW command for installing packages, and can show package versions.
BIND module improvements, including SPF redirect and explanation modifiers, mass record buttons in domain search results, and named.conf parsing fixes.
DHCP lease grouping by subnet, improvements in lease utilization counts, an option to add new objects to a separate file, and custom option parsing fixes.
Many more fixes and new features.

Webmin Mac OS X - Version: 1.480, 6/13/2009 10:47AM PST

I've used webmin / usermin on ubuntu Linux and I'm fond of it there using a debian installation. Is there a definitive CURRENT guide for using this on Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard? I used MacPorts to install my Apache2.2.11 / MySql5.0.81 / php5.2.9. Adding the webmin functionality would be nice...

Server not required - Version: 1.480, 6/13/2009 03:02AM PST

Webmin certainly does NOT need OS X 'Server'!

Actually webmin is very much an interface to control most of the same services as OS X server does.

You can make an ordinary OS X do much of the same that a OS X Server does, and in that case Webmin is a great tool.

You can also use Webmin together with OS X Server, to do more advanced control of services than OS X Servers simplistic 'Grandma' interfaces allow - or in cases where OS X Servers GUI simply fail to work properly with the underlying open-source services.

Webmins interfaces can appear very befuddling at times, and many times you also need to Google documentation and fiddle directly with config-files, but overall it's a help - and a serious product - for free.

This is for 10.5 SERVER(?)! - Version: 1.470, 3/18/2009 07:58PM PST

As far as I can tell from a slight investment of time, webmin requires OS X server; the ordinary Leopard release for home Macs won't work. You can follow the instructions in the README and it installs, but attempts to access the control Web page hang.

The instructions in the webmin Wiki at http://www.webmin.com/osx.html appear very out of date.
