I used Webmin to adminsiter machines in my web farm in the 90s. This is a good admin tool especially in webfarms. You can one machine as a master and all others as slaves running webmin and configure all machines by logging into just this master. A whole lot of plugins also exist for Webmin for different packages apart from the ability to write custom modules. Webmin also has heartbeat and service monitoring across machines with logs and alerts on exceptions/error conditions. -- Mohan Sundaram _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
