It just so happens that I've been working extensively with webmin, and its sister package, usermin, for the last several weeks. I'm modifying various things to understand the OpenPKG package locations, startup etc., and backing out some of the changes that had been made to remove the underlying system knowledge since webmin can be very useful to manage the vendor's things that aren't being done with OpenPKG. Another thing I've done is to patch some of the useradmin routines to better check $HOME directories when doing maintenance as I've had problems at ISP installations using webmin where it happily moved the entire /home directory into a user's directory or removed everything under /home. I'm planning on sending that patch back to the maintainers as soon as I'm at a stopping point.
