-- Samba Windows File Sharing

-- Sendmail Configuration

-- Squid Proxy Server

These sections help you configure the relevant servers. As I discovered,

the options included for each services configuration are quite elaborate,

but you may still have to manually edit the CONFIG files in case you

require to do some extensive tweaking.

Hardware

This section consists of the following configuration issues.

Linux Bootup Configuration

This section will help you configure your BOOT manager LILO (LInux

LOader) if you ever need to tweak around with the BOOT preferences.

Linux RAID

Setting up RAID devices on LINUX was never easier, using these menus

you can make good use of the RAID support Linux has to offer.

Network Configuration

This section will help you setup your NIC's, Loopback adapters and

even the virtual adapters that you may want and activate / deactivate. You

may also setup your Linux machine as a ROUTER to route packets to other

networks using this section. To configure your /etc/resolv.conf go to the

sub section called "DNS".

Partitions on local disks

No longer do you have to use FDISK, CFDISK with the ncurses

interface. Partition your HDD's, view the file system status and the free

/ consumed blocks using this section.

There are several more sections in Webmin like

-- Printer Administration

-- System Time

-- Custom Commands

-- File Manager

-- Telnet Login

One of the most coolest tools that Webmin has is telnet through the

browser and the file manager. If telnet via a browser is the cake then the

file manager is the icing on the cake. The file manager is loaded with

options like the nifty little option of uploading files to the server,

sharing files and directories using either the SMB or the NFS protocol

over the network. Apart from these options, the normal copy, cut and paste

options work very well.

Third party modules

There are a lot of third party modules available for Webmin right from

configuring qmail to running a remote Java VNC console in your browser.

All of these modules are available as *.wbm files and you just have to

download these modules from the Webmin homepage or any of the mirrors.

Installing these modules is a piece of cake as you'll soon find out.
