[NTLUG:Discuss] Admin tools

Speaking of GUI admin tools.  I've been trying out Webmin and now it has
decided to refuse to start.  When I try to start the server it complains
that port 10000 is already in use.  According to nmap 10000 isn't being
used.  I can't find anything in /etc/services that is active for 10000. 
This is only the case on 1 of my systems.  The other boxes run webmin
just fine.  I did some package upgrades from Mandrake, mostly KDE and
Mandrake GUI tools.  These updates were needed to run xcdroast
(according to their site).

Anyone got any clues?  I've been to the webmin site and can't find any
hints of this problem being reported.

Also, anyone found any admin tools that they like other than webmin? 
Has linuxconf improved over the last 6mos?

OBTW, I don't need any "Don't use the GUIs" responses!!!  My time is too
limited to be editing files by hand on every box.
