I've got an existing Linux server box. I'm after some web based

FreeNAS, etc.) as the server is already doing some other functions which
won't be affected by fileserving.

Webmin is the only thing springing to mind - anything else?

SWAT - Samba Web Admin Tool - part of the Samba tools.

Last time I looked at SWAT it didn't have good user management - you had to somehow manually addusers into the standard /etc/passwd files before then using it to add users into the system - and other comments seem to indicate it's not that good anyway...

Both KDE and GNOME provide graphical tools, which might provide another
way, particularly if they have X desktops.

This is a small, "headless" server in a small office with a handfull of punters running Windows /something/ (probably Win7 or XP)

I just want to make it marginally easier for them (or me if accessing it remotely) to go in & add / remove a user or share...

So it looks like it's webmin...

Cheers,

Gordon
