This reference is a comprehensive guide to the Webmin system administration tool, documenting its unique features while explaining each of the core services like Apache, BIND, Sendmail, and more.

The Book of Webmin will show you how to use Webmin, the web-based systems administration software suite, to manage your UNIX systems with ease—even if you are unfamiliar with the command line. Step-by-step tutorials show you how to accomplish nearly every service and task needed to maintain a UNIX system, including how to configure popular services like Apache, BIND, Squid, and Sendmail, and manage features like network configuration, disk configuration, users, and groups. Each chapter is devoted to a particular module or section of Webmin, and all the configuration options are explained.

Learn how to:

  • Install, configure, and customize Webmin to suit different environments, including those with many users and varying access levels
  • Set up and maintain a virtual hosting webserver, with mail, name service, and FTP
  • Get up and running with Apache, Sendmail, Postfix, BIND, Squid, and WU-FTPD
  • Secure your machine from crackers using password policy, application level network access control, SSL, and firewalls

Whether you’re a novice user or an experienced system administrator, you’ll find The Book of Webmin an invaluable reference guide.
