webmin

Webmin makes life easier.

Use it to:

  • Setup a firewall
  • Setup user quotas
  • Review system logs
  • etc.

Manual install is simple. Unpack the tarball and run setup.sh. Startup and shut down scripts are in /etc/webmin – stop and start.

Howto

Change Password
/var/webmin-1.580/changepass.pl /etc/webmin admin <password>

FreeBSD:

/usr/local/lib/webmin/changepass.pl /usr/local/etc/webmin admin password

Update modules menu

Sometimes an install out of the box doesn't list the modules for every service that's installed. Refreshing modules in the leftnav seems to fix it.

FreeBSD

/usr/local/lib/webmin/setup.sh
echo webmin_enable=YES >> /etc/rc.conf
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/webmin start
