Reboot? You're kidding :] Simply run 'chkconfig --add webmin' followed by
'/etc/rc.d/init.d/webmin start'. No need for Mandrake tools or even
rebooting! Almost forgot: Both have to be done as root, of course.

Ah, that's what you mean by configuring correctly. But what's actually bad
by allowing anyone to connect to Webmin? I mean, the attacker has to know
the root password to use webmin, no? Do you think it is easier to break
into webmin than into a system through telnet?
