I'm also developing a control panel as a personal project for a shared hosting setup.
The features I'm working on at the moment are: DNS - frontend for myDNS Mail - frontend for Postfix (running mysql backend) With user management and vhost management I have hit a bit of a stumbling block. I'm not sure what is the best/safest way to handle root operations, creating users, changing password etc.... Possibly this would have to be a seperate service running as root, reading tasks from a table. A pluggable solution would be great as everyone will have slightly different requirements/setup.
