When I'm elsewhere with my laptop or work or something I often ssh to my server at home. However, Webmin is a great tool to set up because all you need on the client side is a web browser. That means if you're at a friend's house or at a trade show or wherever there's internet access, you can get to your server without installing software. And chances are there will be a GUI plugin to do what you want easier. Speaking of which, there's an ssh plugin for Webmin, so you have the best of both worlds. As far as security goes, if you're not using webmin over SSL, you're nuts. Having said that, it's easy to do now that Apache comes prebuilt with SSL. If you use ssh, do remember that ssh1 has been cracked, and set up sshd to only use ssh2. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- DDDD David Kramer [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://thekramers.net DK KD DKK D "Virtue has its own reward, but has no sale at the box office."
