Webmin is a system configuration tool for Unix-like systems. It has a web-based interface (GUI) desktop environment independent, for configuring some of the internals of the operating system.

Webmin is largely based on Perl, and is running as its own process, and web server. It usually uses TCP port 10000 for communicating, and can be configured to use SSL if OpenSSL is installed.

It is built around modules, which have an interface to the config files, and an interface to the webmin server. This makes it easy to add new functionality, without too much work. And 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 in the same LAN.

Primarily coded by Australian Jamie Cameron[1], Webmin is released under the BSD license. Webmin has a sister project, called Usermin, which is similar to Webmin, only designed for general usage tasks, not just administration tasks.
