Check out : http://www.webmin.com/webmin/ I've tested it out some and it seems to work quite well. Security wise, well the whole idea of doing something like this should raise some flags. It's all a matter of give and take. This tool is geared more for admin'ing the whole machine, much wider than just adding users. What I'd like is a good tool for reading pop mail on the web ( like Hotmail :-) ). Dealing with attachments seems to be the tricky part.
