The following panels are part of e-smith-userpanel
Notes
The userpanel was developed by daniel van raay,then enhanced by stephen noble and Shad Lords which followed a similar concept of an admin panel by charlie brady which worked on e-smith-3.x
This implementation includes extra panels 'dungog networks' has written. The current version superceeds the older devinfo-mitel-usermanager-pkg & dungog-pkg-userpanel. This version intergrates the delegating of admin functions and allows the admin to only give the advanced userpanel functions to users according to site policies.
You can install the current version over the top of the pkg versions but you keep your server neater by removing the pkg rpms first.
