Re: Webmin

[John Nichel]

Ya know, I've been vi'ing my config files for as long as I can remember. Sendmail is a pain in the ass to do by hand, and named is nasty when managing multiple domains. I've never been impressed with Linuxconf, and steer away from it like the plague, but with all this talk about Webmin the past few days, so I decided to give it a try. Installed it tonight, and did some simple tasks like adding smbfs shares to fstab, setting up a "dummy" domain in named, adding a virtual host to apache, etc. I must say, I'm extremely impressed. I checked the config files after each change, and not only did it make the right changes in the right place, but it did them neat. I'll play with the sendmail stuff tomorrow, but if it works as good as the other sections I messed with, this will be a major time saver for me at work.

I tip my (Red) Hat to those who took the time to make this tool, and applaud their attention to detail.

I just experienced that configuring samba and making click at an option that
doesnŽt exist or is not supported
my samba refuse to start but checking the logs I figure it out which option
was at webmin and uncheck it. then samba works fine.
configuring sendmail, named, apache, and other modules no problems found for
me...
these experiences were based at RH7.2 and RH7.3 systems with webmin
installed.


1.  Does it break services the way Linuxconf used to?
at least none of my services was broken.

2.  Does it provide a comprehensive level of functionality to configure most
services?
sure it does. but as you know, sometimes youŽll have to edit your config
files.
