Webmin
by Jamie Cameron
A web-based system configuration tool for Unix-like systems
Webmin is a system administration interface that can be accessed via a web browser. The program allows you to create user accounts, manage the Apache server, edit DNS records, set up access to files, etc. Webmin is a simple web server equipped with a set of CGI programs. Webmin uses standard Perl modules in its work. A small disadvantage of the program is its limited functionality on Windows systems, where some used Webmin servers (Sendmail, Samba) are not available.
Webmin offers a user-friendly web interface for simplified system administration tasks.
