Good for you. I don't begin to understand the attitude that has kept
webmin out of ubuntu.

It's not an attitude. The upstream debian packagers retired and it just
died.

Ah. That's OK then. That's not what I'd heard. Here I've heard people
describe webmin as a security hazard, and on many lists I hear statements
that anyone who needs a gui to get "XYZ" configured shouldn't be a
sysadmin. I don't use webmin, but I'm a firm believer in _good_ guis for
managing complicated servers. A gui should be able to stop people making
most of the really stupid mistakes (and would the sysadmin out there who's
never made a stupid mistake please speak up?).
