Re: Web GUI for named(8) ?
Webmin is quite mature ... if you must use a gui, that would be my recommendation. I've used it on OpenBSD a lot, just make sure to install the SSLeay port first so you have ssl at least. -Bryan On Wed, Jul 22, 2009 at 10:38 PM, Rolf Sommerhalderrolf.sommerhal...@alumni.ethz.ch wrote: Hello list, Can you recommend any GUI that enables junior IT staff to maintain basic DNS Resource Records (such as for ex..

In its favour - a) simple install, just run the setup script b) very easy updates of core system and modules c) Custom Command module is VERY useful for setting up CLI commands needed by staff who can never remember them (to be honest that includes me sometimes!).

Re: Web GUI for named(8) ?
What about ISPConfig. I can vouch for webmin, but ISP config comes highly recommended by a lot of people. You also have Cpannel but I am not sure if that has an OpenBSD port...or ISPConfig for that matter but you didn't mention it so though I would... -Original Message- From: owner-m...@openbsd.org [mailto:owner-m...@openbsd.org] On Behalf Of Dr Alastair F.

Thanks for any hints, Rolf PowerDNS is probably worth a look too, the DNS server itself can query a db, and there are various (usually web based) admin frontends e.g. ZoneAdmin, WebDNS, PowerAdmin, TUPA, PowerDNSAdmin If you go down this route, use an up to date powerdns port (the -current port should work ok on 4.5), it used to be broken. Having something which modifies zone files directly (rather than push-pull via a database) is either going to mean avoiding chroot for the web interface, or adding extra steps to sync the zone files across.
