SUSE Linux – Installing Webmin (1 of 5) Webmin may be installed over the internet (the preferred method – ) or via CD. Webmin can be installed from an RPM or from a tar package.

SUSE Linux – Installing Webmin (2 of 5) Webmin provides an identical look & feel across a wide number of Unix and Linux operating environments.

SUSE Linux – Installing Webmin (3 of 5) Webmin provides an extensible framework, add ons are widely available and easy to integrate.

SUSE Linux – Installing Webmin (4 of 5) Webmin can be fetched via wget.

SUSE Linux – Installing Webmin (5 of 5) In addition to an RPM install Webmin can also be installed from a tar package using a setup script: 1. tar xzf Webmin tar.gz 2. cd Webmin /setup.sh Thats all there is to it. SUSE includes a full suite of security modules for pearl so Webmin is available to execute in secure mode right out of the box.

SUSE - Managing with Webmin (1 of 9) Webmin defaults to 1 login: root/root-password With SUSE Webmin defaults to a secure web at port 10,000

SUSE router configuration SUSE Linux comes equipped with the ability to be a very capable router Iproute2 – iproute2 is a package for advanced network management under Linux. In practice, it is composed of a bunch of small utilities to dynamically configure the kernel. – iproute2 replaces, with a single integrated command, all the functionalities of ifconfig, arp, route and iptunnel and more. Zebra – GNU Zebra is software that manages TCP/IP based routing protocols. It supports BGP-4 protocol as well as RIPv1, RIPv2 and OSPFv2. – Put simply Zebra allows a SUSE Linux system to mimic a Cisco Router

SUSE router configuration – iproute2 Instead of typing ifconfig you could type ip addr:

SUSE router configuration – zebra Zebra is a modular routing program that allows a SUSE system to act like a Cisco router. Modules include: – Bgp4 – RIPv1, RIPv2 – OSPFv2 Each of the modules is a standalone daemon with configuration file. Vtysh is an integrated shell for Zebra routing software. Its command language is almost 100% IOS compatible.

SUSE router configuration – basic (1 of 2) If all you need is a firewall, NAT front end then SUSE configuration is easy with Webmin: – Network tab -> Network Configuration icon – Routing & Gateways icon

SUSE router configuration – basic (2 of 2) Configuring a SUSE system as a gateway router is easy:

SUSE – Apache configuration (1 of 4) Apache is apache is apache! Apache is easy to administrate from Webmin

SUSE – Apache configuration (2 of 4) The obvious elements of Apache configuration can be controlled remotely.

SUSE – Apache configuration (3 of 4) Creating a virtual server is quick and easy:

SUSE – Apache configuration (4 of 4) Managing a virtual server is easy too

SUSE – vsftp management SUSE and Red Hat share vsftp, a lightweight ftp server designed with security in mind. Vsftp can be managed from Webmin using a 3 rd party plugin:

SUSE – Printer management (1 of 4) SUSE supports CUPS (Common Unix Printing System). CUPS supports a wide number of printers and printing methodologies: Via SAMBA Via lpd Raw IP interfaces Serial or parallel connection System V or BSD
