* What is Webmin (http://www.webmin.com/):

- Webmin is a web-based interface for system administration for Unix.



* What is Linux Trustees (http://trustees.sourceforge.net/):

- The goal of Linux trustees project is to create an advanced permission 
management system for linux. let a system administrator wants to create a 
directory that available for some groups in write mode, for another groups - in 
read only. The files in the directory and subdirectories should inherits the 
parent's behavior, unless other is stated explicitly. Using standard UNIX (and 
linux) security model it is generally speaking impossible to implement the 
situation when different groups have read/write and read/only permissions. This 
issue can be resolved by ext2-fs ACL project, but the problem is that nobody 
wants to copy mask or ACLs from parent directory to subdirectories either by 
hands or using special scripts.
