Webmin
 Webmin is a web-based
interface for system administration of Linux servers and services.
Using any modern web browser, you can setup user accounts, Apache,
DNS, file sharing and much more.
Webmin removes the need to manually edit Unix configuration
files like /etc/passwd, and lets you manage a system from the console
or remotely.
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.
