The average user probably runs Webmin on a Linux system at home or on a company network. Even though it makes the process of creating Unix users or managing the Squid Proxy Server easy, you first must have some idea of what a Unix account is and what Squid does. Webmin was written for people with some Linux experience who might be unfamiliar with the intricacies of system administration. Fortunately, all services and servers that Apache manages are either included with most standard Linux distributions or can be downloaded and installed freely. For example, the Apache module requires that the actual Apache webserver be installed. Webmin is a configuration tool, and so you must have programs installed for it to configure. This means it often can hide the underlying differences between Unix variants and present a similar or identical interface no matter which OS you use. Webmin understands the differences between all these operating systems and can adjust its user interface and behavior to fit your OS. While Webmin was developed for Linux users, Webmin can be used with many other flavors of Unix, such as Solaris, FreeBSD and HP/UX.

This means you can freely mix Webmin, manual configuration and other programs or scripts that work in the same way. Webmin reads the standard configuration files on your system and updates them directly rather than use its own database. If you have manually configured your system, Webmin will recognize all existing settings.

Each module manages some service or server, such as Unix users, the Apache Webserver or Software Packages. Webmin has a modular design: Each function is contained in a module that generally can be installed or removed independently from the rest of the program. There is no difference between running it locally and running it remotely, and it is much easier to use over the network than other graphical configuration programs. It protects you from the syntax errors and other mistakes often made when editing configuration files directly and warns you before potentially dangerous actions.īecause Webmin is accessed though a web browser, you can log in from any system connected to your network. Webmin provides a simple web interface that lets you configure almost all common services and popular servers on Unix systems. These are just a few of the available functions.
