Hi,

I've been playing around with the webmin installed on my dedbox trying to figure out how to make it available for other users on the system. Of course, I want permissions limited. I'm sort of figuring it out, but there are a lot of issues outstanding.

Is there any place with documentation on how to do this? I've looked at the two main webmin docs, but they don't adequately (for me at least) address this subject.

One problem I'm having, is that I'd like to be able to allow the user to add email aliases or mappings. But when I enable this feature, the user has full access to ALL mappings. Not nice. How can I limit the user to only his domain?

Well, this is just one of many questions I have concerning this issue. That's why I'm looking for a more detailed source of information on webmin.

Thanks in advance.

I know RackSpace uses webmin a lot, and they provide several pages of documentation on it and how to use it etc., so you might want to look at http://support.rackspace.com

Thanks guys! The Rackspace support site is especially useful :) The niemueller ispcontrol site looks interesing, but it's going to take me some time to figure this one out - I wish I was smarter.
