A web-based interface for system administration for Unix. Setup user accounts, DNS, file sharing and the program is freeware.
Webmin removes the need to manually edit Unix configuration files like /etc/passwd, and lets you manage a system from the console or remotely.
It could be considered a free alternative to the commonly used CPanel & WHM Hosting/Server administration solutions.
Webmin can be expanded by installing modules, which can be custom made. Aside from this, there are two other major projects that extend the functionality of webmin:
- Usermin presents and controls a subset of the features available in Webmin, such as webmail and other user-level tasks, rather than administrator-level tasks.
- Virtualmin, which is a domain hosting and web site control panel, which gives the ability to create and manage domains. See virtualmin.
