webmin sets up its own user data base that is not related to the system
users at all - thats how it appears on my freebsd boxes anyway. there is
a perl script called newuser.pl or similar in webmin dir that will
create a new webmin user. i think u run it as root to start with, setup
the webmin user and away u go ?
Someone correct me if i am wrong ?
