[webmin-l] Can I distribute configurations in an Enterprise deployment of Webmin?

[Johnson, C. <CJo...@ti...>]

We are considering an enterprise deployment of Webmin.  Currently
version 1.310 is in evaluation.  Once of the things I do not see is the
ability to configure a large number of Webmin servers centrally. =20

For example, assume I have ~800 systems which will be managed.  From the
central Webmin server I wish to make a change to the allowed IP
addresses (Webmin Configuration->IP Access Control) on all client
systems (the remaining 799 Webmin servers).  The only way I see to do
that is by connecting to each server and making the, change that is not
practical in a deployment of this size.  Cfengine could be used but
there is a LONG process required to approve additional OS
software/packages/tools and it would only add another item to be
managed. =20

It would seem that having the ability to manage Webmin 'client' systems
from a central management server would be valuable.  Does this exist and
I am just missing it or is it not there?

TIA,

Chad Johnson
