I use Webmin. http://www.webmin.com/
It gives me a GUI for all of my vital sysadmin needs that I can't
remember how to do at the shell.
It has a MySQL GUI interface that works very well. And you can setup
user accounts to have access to certain parts of Webmin, like just MySQL.
Easy RPM install, and inside Webmin is an app to upgrade itself. Can
also install Perl modules, edit your php.ini file, etc.
Cheers,
Tim

Hi folks,
I have some straightforward MySQL data tables that I would like to be
editable by some of my less-techy colleagues. I tend to think of
phpMyAdmin as a perfectly serviceable and reasonably interface for
updating database tables, but I'm told that it's kind of intimidating to
the uninitiated.
Are there alternatives that are meant for non-admin-types? I'd want
something with read/write permissions, but that could be targeted at
just a few tables, wouldn't have any of the more potent tools (drop,
empty, etc.). In the ideal world, I might like something that would
prevent users from doing things like accidentally changing primary key
data and things like that.
I've thought about writing something, but I suspect that would be
reinventing the wheel. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Ken
