missing knowledges, inwilling to learn and the naive hope a GUI

will be an anlterantive to learn how things are working
i use it on relay setups , for editing
i.e relay users,domains tables for windows guys
who dont know ssh etc
i wouldnt recommend it as general tool, but in parts it can be very
helpfull, you may use a seperate webmin user and restrict/hide editing
parameter settings etc
I use it for managing bind files - it's simply easier and less prone to
errors than navigating through text files full of DNS records.
