Webmin is modular. You only install the modules you want to control over the web. You can also retrict access to port 10000 (on which it lives by default) in the normal way. I imagine you can set it to do HTTPS connections as well, but I've not tried that because I only use it locally. --jaa -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
