Actually, I don't but it gives quite a bit of granular control to both
users and groups - meaning that you can specify each or any module which
appears and doesn't appear either idividually as users or assign
privileges as groups and assign the members to the groups. This has been
changing with each revision which up until July 1, when Caldera withdrew
financial support to Jamie Cameron and he had to go get a real job so
the update cycles are gonna be slowed down. I can tell you this, the
program has matured quite a bit since the start of the year and it was a
great program 2 years ago.

I tend to create webmin users only for a local administrator at my
customers office so I don't confuse them with so many different
utilities. I pretty much restrict them to Users & Groups (to create new
users & delete old ones), Sendmail (for administrating aliases) &
Startup/Shutdown.
