Hi,

I was wondering if anyone knew of a solid, reliable Open Source equivalent of Cpanel/Plesk that I can run on my CentOS boxes. I've done some searching around and find a bunch of them which seem to have stopped or stalled development, but I am figuring that there has got to be a strong market / demand for something out there.

Is anyone using something secure, solid and complete? I don't need something for users to sign up themselves online, but would like something to give them abilities to administer their own domains. I am more than happy to move my entire existing mail server and accounts to something new if I can give my users this ability.

Webmin/Virtualmin/Usermin http://www.webmin.com Emu http://www.emusoftware.com/

Tak a look at gnupanel - www.gnupanel.org it has recebntly been tajken uinder the fsf's wing and there are moves afoot to make CentOS compatible version that will manage multiple servers...

As well as translating the source code from Spanish ...

Regards Lance

Thanks for the links. I had already looked at Webmin, but after doing more research on it, ppl seemed to think it could be a security leak.

cpanel, webmin, vnc etc are ALL security leaks. The issue is mitigating and managing the Security problem so that you can accomplish your project.

Personally I have spent a lot of time cleaning up vnc, cpanel, and webmin systems because people didn't take that time to figure out what could be a problem and how to handle it. I prefer not to use them or give them to people who aren't aware of the risks and have a plan to deal with those risks.

I had never heard of Emu / NetDirector though, and after looking around at the site and the demos, I must say I am extremely impressed by it. I also like the fact that it is OS Java based. My only concern, however, is that I can't seem to find any community support for it. Does that mean there is no install base? Sourceforge mailing lists have no activity and no one on them, as do the SourceForge forums. Do you know if there are other forums or mailing lists that are used by the community for this?

Thanks!

Eric
