Webmin is a general-purpose tool for
administering a variety of Linux system services from your Web browser.
The advantages of Web-based administration tools are that you can operate them from a familiar
interface (your Web browser) and you can access them remotely.
Some Linux distributions come with their own set of graphical administration tools
(such as SUSE??™s YaST or Red Hat??™s system-config tools). You should generally use those
instead of any Web-based interface that comes with a project because a distribution??™s own tools are
usually better integrated with its tools for starting and stopping services.
Open Source Projects Offering Web Administration
Several major open source projects come with Web-based interfaces for configuring those projects.
Regardless of which Linux you are using, you can use your Web browser to configure the following
projects:

systems on your LAN, use the Samba SWAT Web-based administration tools from any
Web browser. With SWAT installed and running, you can access your Samba server configuration
from your Web browser by typing the following URL in the location box:
http://localhost:901
If you get an Unable to Connect message, Samba is not installed or running.
