Webmin/Usermin maybe, if the entire wheel need not be re-invented.
http://www.webmin.com
- UI screen looks awfully similar to DirectAdmin.
Seems to have a lot to build on, including its own https server and (at
least) two levels of privilege separation.
Dru Lavigne did an article on a Q&D webmail interface based on a
stripped-down version of it.
Works fine with Exim, Dovecot, QMail, etc.
OTOH - it makes assumptions about PostgreSQL (to name just one) that
flat do not fit normal ways of running PG.
License is "BSD-like". F/OSS.
D'ruther code PHP than perl, but dare not permit PHP on my servers, Exim
is perl-friendly, and SA needs it anyway.
