[OpenIndiana-discuss] User management tools for OI_151a?

[Robbie Crash]

Hi I'm new.

Napp-it: www.napp-it.org

Offers most of what you're looking for and is clear enough that us
'Microsoft people' can figure out what to do without breaking things. It's
obviously not as powerful as access via shell, but it does make creating
automatic snapshot jobs much more simple.

ZFS share config and overall usage is there, and clear. Not sure if you can
create arrays, as I have no spare disks with which to test, but pool
creation and basic management is present. It also saved me a bunch of time
after a motherboard died and I had to rebuild my fileserver. Installing and
configuring netatalk with it was a lot quicker than doing it the manual
way, and got everything working just the same.

It's by no means as full featured as webmin, but it can do about 75% of the
stuff I've wanted it to do.
