Hi All,

I am wanting some pointers/direction as to how I could run a administrative web service on our debian box to facilitate the management of the debian server (ie, creating iptable rules, modifying interface parameters, viewing dhcp leases).

I'm trying to replace an existing redhat server on our network which is performing as a gateway (unfortunately not meeting our needs) and this has a web-based management. It appears to be running 'asp' pages but these pages provide me no leads as to how it actually modifies the server's conf files.

Any comments/pointers most welcome.

Thanks
Anubis.

But really, editing text files in a command line window works better.

There are tons of web control panels to choose from:

Hi All,

Thanks for those links.
Webmin looks like the one I'm looking for and I can modify it to suit exactly.

Thank again.

If you go with Webmin it has a repo that you can add to your sources.list.
