Web based management?

[nbyne]

Has anyone used either webmin or netdirector to manage your solaris boxes? We have been looking for a web based way to manage our linux and solaris boxes and have been investigating both projects.

We like webmin for its breadth but netdirector for its ability to make changes to numerous servers at once from a single page. Not to mention its rollback and scheduling ability.

Any help is appreciated.

I've had a play with webmin, but wouldn't use it in a production environment. It's too easy for a non-admin to mess with settings when they have no idea what they are doing.

We are actually looking to automate some tasks so that more admins can be involved in day to day changes. but we want the ability to manage access to configurations from non-admins, which is why we are looking at netdirector. webmin has more functionality right now but doesn't seem to be really good at controlling access to it like netdirector.
