Centralized ISP Admin Package

2002-01-06 Thread Gene Grimm



I haven't been able to gleen much about Webmin yet 
as to whether it can support automating common ISP activities distributed among 
multiple servers. Does Webmin or any other package provide a means of logging 
onto a centralized web site (for ISP employees only) to add radius user 
accounts, Postfix virtual accounts, customer FTP/Web accounts/sites, and DNS 
records where each function (web, mail, DNS, etc) are split among multiple 
machines? As for the DNS, it would have to break this down between adding a 
primary zone and records to one DNS server and creating secondary zones to one 
or more backup DNS servers.
 
If no such package exists, I will 
likely create one for our internal use with a central SQL database 
showing the plain text passwords for each individual account and all the 
supporting records. The SQL database will double as billing control and 
configuration master. If anyone has suggestions for this project (presuming 
there is no package available), I would appreciate any constructive 
suggestions on how to implement the design.
