Webmin on debian

A web-based interface for system administration for Unix. . 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. It's easy to install:

# su
Password

Download from:
http://www.webmin.com/

# dpkg --install webmin_1.580_all.deb

It's slow...to install

Maybe you need to install dependencies:
# apt-get install perl libnet-ssleay-perl openssl libauthen-pam-perl libpam-runtime libio-pty-perl apt-show-versions python

Login:
https://localhost:10000/

Use your root to login

In case of error:
# apt-get -f install

To allow access form internet you need to open the TCP ports 10000 and 80 of the Firewall of your router.
