Are you doing this as root?  If you do that as root, try rpm -ivh <FILE.RPM>.

That may do the trick, but it sounds like you're not running this as root.  At least 
from
what I gathered from the email.

| I want to install Webmin (following some comments about it on this list).
| I've downloaded the .rpm file but I can't work out how to install it (I am a
| long time Windows user and new to Linux). When I try to run 'rpm --install
| <filename> ' I get error messages about being unable to get exclusive access
