Download Webmin 1,550

Webmin has been updated to version 1.550. With this program a Unix-like system can be maintained and administered from a web browser. For example, it is possible to manage user accounts, change settings for Apache, Mysql and dns, and create file shares. Webmin consists of a simple web server, supplemented with various CGI programs written in Perl 5. The software is released under the bsd license and is available in various flavors from this page to download. The changelog for this release looks like this:

Changes in version 1.550:

• Fixed an XSS vulnerability in the Users and Groups module that can be triggered if an attacker has the ability to change the real name of a Unix user.
• Added support for the Upstart boot system, seen on Ubuntu 10 and later.
• Added the Test Zone Transfer button to the slave zone page in the BIND module, to check if zone transfers are possible or not.
• Added the Sending Email page to the Webmin Configuration module, which controls how Webmin itself sends messages.
• In the PHP Configuration module, added support for selecting the timezone on the Other Settings page, thanks to Matt Lewandowsky.
• In the DHCP module, added a Module Config option to automatically refresh the lease list every few seconds, and a link to force a manual refresh.
