Webmin is a Web-based interface for system administration for UNIX and is also used with Linux. Using HP Systems Insight Manager (HP SIM), you can set up user accounts, Apache, DNS, file sharing and so on. Webmin consists of a miniserver, and many Common Gateway Interface (CGI) programs, which directly update system files like /etc/inetd.conf and /etc/passwd. The Web server and all CGI programs are written in Perl 5 and use no external modules, which means that you only need a Perl binary to run Webmin.
Because Webmin supports the concept of modules (for example, PhotoShop plugins), you can develop and distribute your own Webmin modules for any purpose, and distribute them under any license (such as General Public License (GPL), commercial, or shareware).
To access Webmin in HP SIM, select Tools Integrated Consoles Webmin. The Webmin page appears. Select a target system and click [Run Now].
