OpenBSD alternative to cpanel/plesk
Hi all, I've been through the well known online article: http://lordmatt.co.uk/item/1739/ Also been reviewing ports in www section. Among the products in cited article I understand there's just webmin (to be downloaded from its site and compiled), while in ports I find none of there mentioned products. I'd appreciate to hear some of your experiences. Can anybody suggest if there exist working solutions for OpenBSD? Renouncing to a full suite (and concentrating on just mail) would be mailserv a robust solution? In the last case, would there be other products to put aside, e.g. to manage webspace for users backup like rsync, ftp, etc.? Thanks

I use webmin and it works ok, need a few tweaks, but works. Not in ports though. /Mikael 31 jul 2011 kl. 00:56 skrev Paolo Aglialoro paol...@gmail.com: Hi all, I've been through the well known online article: http://lordmatt.co.uk/item/1739/ Also been reviewing ports in www section.

Modular, clean, cross-platform, and actually edits the config files rather than some strange intermediate database, which means that changes in webmin show up directly in the config files, and vice versa. Individual modules of it may not be as sophisticated as the older, most popular ones, such as the DNS and Samba and sendmail, bit in general it helps prevent a whole variety of accidents from people who think I'll just hand-edit this config file like this web page told me to and create havoc. There's an old essay by Eric Raymond, called the Luxury of Ignorance about the CUPS configuration tool. All the things Eric ranted about, with cause, were done *properly* by the webmin developers and contributors.
