what is the difference in this and webmin? if there are major differences why isn't usermin installed by default on a virtualmin install..

also why do users have access to virtualmin if they can do everything from webmin?

Howdy,

Usermin is an app that allows users to check email, setup mail filters, and the like.

Webmin is a sysadmin tool for managing a server. It's typically used by the server owner.

Virtualmin is a Webmin module for allowing individual domain owners to manage settings relating to their domains, including websites, ftp/database access, email, and so forth.

You can see some of the features listed here where Virtualmin Pro, GPL, and competing products are compared:
