Quoting Rolf Sommerhalder rolf.sommerhal...@alumni.ethz.ch:
Hello list,
Can you recommend any GUI that enables junior IT staff to maintain
basic DNS Resource Records (such as for ex.. A, PTR, CNAME,...) for
BIND 9 running on OpenBSD?
Also, I will consider alternatives to named(8), provided that they
support an authoritative, split DNS server and some simple GUI, all
running on OpenBSD.
So far, I have been looking at webmin, Binder, smbind, ProBIND, DNS
Control, adadns. None of them appears to have a OpenBSD port yet.
Their maturity development activity appears to vary widely.
I have used webmin for a while to allow simple changes to be made to
our wireless gateway by others in the team who do not normally deal
with it (e.g. during holiday periods etc. (I have not used the BIND
module, so cannot comment on that).
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!). Can also be safer than allowing them control
of e.g. BIND through the BIND module, from where they could do a lot
of damage
Not in its favour -
a) it is a GUI
Make sure you use SSL - requires p5-Net-SSLeay
