[OpenIndiana-discuss] Re webmin solaris package and OpenCSW and other things

[Roel_D]

Newest webmin versions from webminwebsite work ok, but they also have trouble to find postgres, mysql and other services/servers automaticly. 

But for standard usage webmin is my daily friend. The file-explorer is the piece i can't do without :-) 


Kind regards,

The out-side

Unless someone can show me how to duplicate the SFE setup for dovecot and other stuff on my own server. In which case I might set up a repository and start contributing to the main effort. There used to be a wiki page on that, but I can't seem to find it?? Maybe I'm just going blind.
