> hello,
> I just got done doing major work installing 2 linux boxes at a site. 
>  Now the management there wants a way to be able to get into the linux 
> boxes to add users or printers without using shells or technical stuff.
> I've done user menus using shells at other sites.  I've used 'here 
> documents' and made all the technical things work in the background, all 
> a management person does is type a number and then a name or password 
> for example if that's what they want to do.
> So now, I'm wondering about doing this via an intranet website instead 
> of using a user menu via a shell.
> Can anyone recommend any books that show how to do this?  I'm not a 
> programmer.....I have no idea how to make a website send unix commands.
> I know how to make a shell program do that, but not html....

Hwy not take a look at 'webmin' - a good web interface to linux admin.
