Friends,

Now that I've successfully assembled my LDAP enabled FreeBSD machine  
with pam_ldap and nss_ldap, I'm looking for a way to allow users to  
administer their accounts through a web browser.  Webmin and Usermin  
appear to be excellent candidates except for the fact that they don't  
appear to support FreeBSD and OpenLDAP.  Webmin doesn't have an  
option to use SSHA password hashing when creating an account, and all  
of its supported hashing mechanisms don't equal the actual  
authentication process' hashing mechanism. Usermin (probably for the  
same reason) can allow a user to change a password but changes the  
password to something besides what the user wanted, effectively  
disabling his account.  Usermin offers a huge advantage in that it  
also can change a Samba account password at the same time (though I  
don't know if it will change an LDAP password out of the box).

Are there other options in the ports tree that actually work?  Is  
there a simple way to get Webmin and Usermin to work?

Cheers,

Benjamin Doherty
