Webmin is a web-based interface for system administration for Unix. Using any browser that supports tables and forms (and Java for the File Manager module), 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.

Change Log
  • The major changes in each Webmin release are listed below. A more detailed list of changes and fixes can be found in the detailed change logs, linked below.Version 1.590 (30th June 2012)
  • Added the Shorewall6 Firewall module, a fork of the existing Shorewall module but for IPv6, contributed by Wouter van Bommel.
  • Many more German translation updates, thanks to Raymond Vetter.
  • More Dutch updates, thanks to Gandyman.
  • Catalan updates, thanks to Jaume Badiella.
  • Norwegian updates, thanks to Stein-Aksel Basma.

  • The source IP and port for BIND zone transfers can now be specific on the Addresses and Topology page.
  • Added support for zone signing in the BIND module using the DNSSEC-Tools suite, thanks to a patch from Suresh Krishnaswamy.
