Webmin is a web-based interface for system
administration for Unix. Using any browser, 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.
