There are a number of things for you to learn:
1) Postings that start on mailing lists stay on mailing lists. It's
considered rude to single out someone to pump them for additional
information.
2) Your email client is broken. It does not properly "quote"
previous emails. Notice how your response and mine have the same
number of ">". This can usually be fixed via configuration
options.
3) You top-posted. Please do a google search on top-posting to
understand the reasons why it is bad, I'm not going to repeat
them all here.
4) Folks who can't do their own research usually don't last very long
in the OSS world. I'm not saying that to be rude, it's just my
personal observation. It's understandable not to know where to
start, but a comment such as "have a look at webmin" should give
you enough to feed to a search engine that you wouldn't need to
ask a one-line question like you did. So, your next step is to
get some practice with a search engine and at least get past the
simple questions on webmin. We'll be happy to help out with
details or problems.
