And please just ignore my raving and ranting below.
In the clear light of a fresh and crispy morning it all fell into place,
and I now know how to set up individual admin access rights, set up to
use UTF-8, edit headers, labels, info messages and so on and so forth.
One shouldn't keep at it after one's eyes start to bleed...
It IS a reasonable tool for a group of people of varying degrees of
computer awareness remotely managing a set of servers.
Now for an intelligent Q:Is there anything like a webmin zfs management
module somewhere?
Something that could handle shares, set up new raids, and do accurate
space usage and snapshot reports..

Just to be clearer:
I need a web based or otherwise remote management tool.
There should be a "ordinary user personal management part" and a system
administrator part, and the latter should ideally be configurable for
different admin roles.
usermin combined with webmin 1.51 from the openindiana repository mostly
fit the bill.
A few problems exist, however:
I can't get webmin to use utf-8. Can anyone suggest a solution?
I found this because the gnome user and group manager applet backend
script failed with "improper UTF-8" after adding a user with a swedish
full name.
I can see no well-structured way to configure roles, or even harden the
interface against catastrophic mistakes.
Again: can anyone suggest a way to run several roles in parallell, maybe
a way to enable different combinations of modules for different admin users.
Or maybe you can suggest a different approach to the problem?
The webmin home page does supply a solaris package, but that is no
better for utf-8, it seems, and has a few oddities and quirks that make
for an uncomfortable experience.
