[edit] Swiss Army Knife
Probably best described as the Swiss Army knife of Mandriva server configuration tools, the DrakWizard(drakwizard) currently performs basic configuration of the following servers.
- Apache ( httpd )
- DNS ( bind )
- DHCP ( dhcp-server )
- FTP ( proftpd )
- OpenSSH ( openssh-server )
- Proxy ( squid )
- Time ( ntpd )
What more could a system administrator want?
[edit] GUI
[edit] X11
The drakwizard is integrated into the Mandriva Control Center application as well as being a stand alone application that can be used by executing the perl script, drakwizard(as root).
[edit] NCURSES
Whereas the standard best approach for running public servers is to never install the X11 environment, administrators will appreciate the convenience of having the next best thing: ncurses.
The ncurses interface is implemented for most server options so one can use this tool to configure the servers without ever needing to install X11.
Note: The Time(ntpd) server configuration cannot be run in console|ncurses mode, yet(2008-04-22 ).
[edit] Future
The Mandriva Development Projects page for DrakWizard has more information on current status and planned future developments.
