Another point in webmin's favor. I was pleasantly surprised when I
discovered that editing mail aliases in webmin _didn't_ blow up my heavily
commented /etc/aliases file. In fact, it respected the # signs,
understood that they were disabled entries, and left everything intact.
I personally use an line editor on it, but this way, someone can, if need
be, add an alias and NOT screw my systems up.
Another thing in webmin's favor: it currently supports BSD and Solaris
and more:

This is good for Debian, since we want something cross-platform, and
possibly even cross-kernel (Hurd, anyone?). Adding a network config for
Debian, a dpkg/apt module, and a debconf module, I think we'd be all
set...
Jaldhar, can you pry yourself away from imap for a few minutes and get the
webmin stuff uploaded to incoming? :) I'd like to see what's you've
changed...
