Usermin komt van dezelfde ontwikkelaars vandaan als Webmin. Waar Webmin bedoeld is voor systeembeheerders is Usermin bedoeld voor de gebruikers op Unix-gebaseerde systemen. De gebruiker kan via een web-interface verschillende instellingen aanpassen zoals SSH-connecties en het doorsturen van e-mail. Versie 1.180 is sinds kort beschikbaar met de volgende veranderingen:
Version 1.180:Version 1.170:
- Fixed a possible remotely exploitable security hole caused by a bug in Perl.
- The File Manager module can search for files by their content, and preview images.
- The Mail Forwarding module allows a From: address for autoreplies to be entered in 'simple' mode.
Version 1.160:
- Comments can be entered for jobs in the Scheduled Cron Jobs module.
- The Mail Forwarding module remembers the autoreply message even when it is disabled.
Version 1.150:
- Fixed a security hole that allows a remote attack if the 'Support full PAM conversations?' option is enabled in the Usermin Configuration module. Thanks to JPCERT for finding this bug.
- The Cron module allows a start and end date to be specified for jobs.
- Added a simpler interface to the Mail Forwarding and Replies module, for setting up one or more of normal delivery, auto-responding and forwarding.
- The MySQL and PostgreSQL modules allow multiple tables to be deleted at once, and display search forms when a database has too many tables.
- The Upload and Download module can now be used to fetch a file from the server running Usermin to the PC on which your browser runs.
- Mail lists in the Read Mail module are now sortable, by From:, Subject: and Date: headers. Also, when searching email, results are put into a virtual folder for easier navigation, rather than simply being displayed on a single page.
- Simplified the Header and Body Tests page in the SpamAssassin module, to more easily allow the definition of rules using the header, score and describe directives.
