Anyone out there using webmin as a control panel? If so, what are the pitfalls and things you have to worry about?

Webmin is a great control panel if you understand it how to use it. Its not a client panel however, usermin is supposed to be able to be good for users but webmin is an administrators panel not a customer sort of thing.

That explains it perfect!!!

However, I have heard that usermin is a very good client control panel. Anyone have a demo going?

Thanks

about the only thing you can do with usermin is change passwords and email settings...not a big deal in webhosting

I use webmin here and there (if my eyes are hurting from ssh). I enjoy having everything laid out one click away (definitely use the no icon plain theme). The only pitfall I have found is that usermin will not work withour PAM::auth (or some such module), which I don't know how to install cleanly on Slackware yet.

Regards,
