I took a brief look at what WebMin can do, and I'm a bit concerned
about security. I would imagine you'd have to type in the root
password at least at some point, so should you only use this if you
have installed SSL? (which of course I would on a server I have FT
installed, but since it's hosted third party I have no use for most of
the functions, I am thinking of my own personal server, for which I
do not have a certificate) Also the cgi's would have to run as a
user with the same perm's as root (or as root itself?!), right?
I know this is off-topic for this list, so please reply to me and not to
the list. Thanks!
