Of course, if you are down on the commandline doing this you might
also want to make sure it's turned on for reboots using chkconfig:
chkconfig --list
The list of service names is found with "ls /etc/init.d". I expect
it to be webmin in this case, of course. You can turn it "off and on
at boot time" using "chkconfig webmin off" and "chkconfig webmin on"
respectively.

If you are not sure then post a copy of the file here. Like I said, when I rebooted the problem was fixed. People here reckon there are other ways of getting webmin working and I'm sure they are right. But I'm a happy bunny now - till the next problem anyway.

Dude, this is the newbie list. If anyplace is the place to ask these questions, it is this place. How about telling him why he doesn't need to reboot instead of ridiculing him? Bad choice of 'uppercase' on my part but 'ridiculing' him was not my intention. I was attempting to have some fun with his 'That was a dumb one even by my standards.' At the same time I believe that the point about rebooting was reinforced. -- Regards SnapafunFrank Big or small, a challenge requires the same commitment to resolve.
