(http://www.webmin.com .. but included with most Linux distros) It allows users or groups(which may or may not be unix users depending on how it is set up) to have controlled acess to certain webmin modules (such as the Users and Groups module). For example, I could create a group called staff, put all my staff in it and set the staff group so they can only modify other users in the customers group, can't modify root, the home directory HAS to be /home/username, etc. --- Ian Trider [EMAIL PROTECTED] ICQ: 34119829 AIM: iantri1 Y!: iantri1 MSN: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Today's mildly amusing tagline: HEADLINE: Energizer Bunny arrested, charged with battery. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email sponsored by: Parasoft Error proof Web apps, automate testing & more.
