Further to this thought on security, I would not even do it that way as root. I would only allow connections to webmin from 127.0.0.1, and I would use an ssh session with port 80 forwarded to port 80 on your workstation, therefore encrypting all traffic between the user and the server.
I think that's a more secure way to work. I use ssh PF for mysql, webmin, and X based stuff, has some other neat features such as getting through firewalls. The best client I have found for windows is SecureCRT, an awesome app. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:redhat-list-admin@;redhat.com] On Behalf Of Bret Hughes Sent: Sunday, November 10, 2002 12:54 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Webmin On Thu, 2002-11-07 at 15:55, Edwin Humphries wrote: > Can anyone report their experiences with Webmin for the configuration of Linux server services? > We're particularly interested in: > > 1.

I just want to mention that passwords are sent in the clear unless you install the ssl stuff very easy to do and worth it to enable secure remote administration. Probably apparrent to everyone but I thought I would mention it since no one else has.
