WEBMIN

Webmin is a web-based system configuration and administration tool for any Operating System, such as OpenSolaris, Linux and other *NIX-flavor systems, even now, Webmin can be installed and run on Microsoft Windows. You can configure many operating system internals, such as users, disk quotas, services, configuration files etc., as well as modify and control many open source apps, such as the Apache HTTP Server, PHP, MySQL, DNS, file sharing and much more.
Webmin removes the need to manually edit Unix configuration files like /etc/passwd, /etc/inet.d.conf, and lets you manage a system from the console or remotely

Webmin is based on Perl, running as its own process and web server. It defaults to TCP port 10000 for communicating, and can be configured to use SSL if OpenSSL is installed with additional required Perl Modules.
It is built around modules, which have an interface to the configuration files and the Webmin server. This makes it easy to add new functionality without much work. Due to Webmin's modular design, it would be possible for anyone who is interested to write plugins for desktop configuration.
Webmin also allows for controlling many machines through a single interface, or seamless login on other webmin hosts on the same subnet or LAN.
Webmin is primarily coded by Australian Jamie Cameron and released under the BSD license
