Peter, yes there is. I use a product called Webmin (checkout http://www.webmin.com/).
This will give you web access to your linux system. Even though there is the capability to telnet/SSH to login it is not necessary as there is a command shell interface where you can execute commands, however you will need to logon to Webmin itself. You can define users to webmin without a corresponding user account on Linux itself. You can define the webmin users with as much or as little access to webmin's capabilities as you want. This is a web based system management tool - there are others around but I use this one. It is very easy to install and only requires PERL. It comes in tar files or RPM files. I had trouble last time installing through RPM so I gave up and downloaded the tar files but there is a new version at the moment and perhaps that will work fine. fiat lex, fiat justitia, fiat lux, fiat Linux!

Peter.
