No problem. "Vg'f rnfl jvgu Ivz." It's a simple alphabet substitution where each letter changes to its counterpart 13 places away in the alphabet (a<->n, g<->t, etc) . Open the text in Vim, then select it (type "v" at one end of the text to encode/decode, then move to the other end) and then type "g?". Or, to rot-13 a whole line, just "g??". That's all! (Try ":help g?" for more info.) Also see http://newbieDoc.sourceForge.net/ ...

That's true, but be careful with ssh tunnels; without firewall rules, they'll tunnel any other machine's connection to your local host's port 80 (say), into the firewall, not just your own machine's connections. --Pete

These guys are great, but if you *must* use a GUI broswer, and also only want webmin bound to 127.0.0.1 (Good Idea) you can use ssh to tunnel connections there from a client with an X browser on it.

You fire up > webin from your local machine and administer the router remotely. But then you'd have to make webmin listen to the network. If you only bind it to 127.0.0.1, you can still use the webmin interface in a browser run locally. For text mode browsers, see links, w3m and lynx. Cheers, Joost

You fire up webin from your local machine and administer the router remotely. Frank

Hello, I'm trying to use Webmin to administer a Debian router/firewall, but I was hoping not to install X-windows in order to use a GUI browser.
