I have a need for a software package or tool that is WEB-based, perferrable written in php that I can access as a web-page via apache to remote access other linux servers using ssh from a Linux RedHat server.

It would performing something like this:
1. start web page would have windows for Sever-name, User-name, and password options.
2. It would logging me in remotely to the server and open a Unix Terminal in a Web page format. Then I could enter unix commands on the remote server.

I have searched around a number of download, linux sites, and general google searching and haven't found what I'm looking for yet. I thought I would check here to see if anybody knows of a tool like this. Open Source would be great.

Thanks in advance..

If you already have a machine running linux, check out webmin (http://www.webmin.com/) . You could use the ssh/telnet login panel to connect to other hosts once you're connected to that one. The SSH terminal client is based on software from this site (http://javassh.org/space/start) . That should get you started.

Curious, is Dallas part of your name or location?

Wow, a real Dallas native! I've only met a few and I've been here three years. You're a rare breed.
I live in Rockwall, myself, I basically live in my car for two hours a day, but it's worth it to live a little further out in the sticks. Let me know if you have any other questions about webmin.
