Usermin and Webmin are two things I really enjoy playing with. It also allows me to delegate stuff to people who've never used Linux before to administer a machine, or at least perform basic systems admin skills which come out as too routine.
Sometime ago (last year, IIRC), usermin was subject to run arbitrary code by crafting special email commands or request URIs. Anything that can run as administrator will always require a double-serving of caution. If you're going to rely on it, best to follow the security sites for security advisories. gino On Mon, 28 Mar 2005 19:00:52 +0800 (PHT), Manny <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi all! > > Has anyone out there tried usermin?
