Hello Linux Geeksters. As you may know, Webmin is a browser-based configuration tool for Linux systems. By using it, you can easily manage user accounts, disk quotas, services, configuration files, manage Apache servers, DNS, file sharing and other things. It is quite a useful admin tool.
The latest version available is Webmin 1.7, which has been released a while ago. Among others, it got support for both CentOS 7 and RHEL 7, the network configuration module got support for the “ip” command, when ifconfig is not installed, support for editing quotas on XFS filesystem has been implemented and support for nslcd to the LDAP Client module has been added.
