Nice :)
I wondered if it was even possible.
With an up kernel, cat /proc/cpuinfo just shows one cpu.

Ok, I'll take your word for that.

Yes, that makes sense.
It just that I thought about this, while there a big security issue
with webmin. But updates should take care of that.

Well, on the nfs server (freebsd) and my other nfs client I switched
all my uid's to 501. So I guess you're talking about a uid mapper on
the client side. I didn't know something like that existed. I'd still
like the option to choose a uid myself though :)

Yes, maybe. Or maybe there a better approach, I don't have a clear
idea how it should be. But why was there a mount button anyway?
