Webmin is a simple, but comprehensive tool. it provides a web based interface which you can set up on the server (of course at this point only you will have permissions to use it with the root account and password). It provides all sorts of stuff from package management to bandwidth monitoring. I use it mainly for administrating all my servers/virtual servers like my samba shares, proftp virtual server, and if you add more (compatible) servers or modules it even features an auto-detect feature that picks up when youve installed compatible servers which can be monitored and administered via webmin. <a href="http://www.webmin.com">http://www.webmin.com</a> regards, faizan <div class="gmail_quote">On Sat, Apr 25, 2009 at 11:56 AM, Shali 9846303531 <<a href="mailto:shalib2@gmail.com">shalib2@gmail.com</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">hai ubuntu lovers .... yesterday i downloaded and installed ubuntu 9.04 in my machine and 10 client machines for internet service , now i am planning to implement a utility to monitor and control all ubuntu client machines from my machine. can any body suggest a good utility for that purspose. thanking you, -- Shali.K.R Asst.Librarian(Digital) Vidya Academy of Science & Technology Thrissur, Kerala.
