well... i FINALLY got webmin running. it won't come up on "https" though... just "http"Webmin is a very cool tool, it lets you control everything on your box through a web interface. It is important to make sure to run this over SSL though. Someone could easily sniff your password and then have access to your box. the instructions on getting SSL to work on RedHat or anything else can be found on:
why is it "https" on yours, but not mine?
http://webmin.com/ssl.html
there's a lot of instructions so let me make it easy for anyone who wants to get this working on their box.
Make sure you have OpenSSL installed. There should be rpms on your CD's or if you use apt:
apt-get install openssl-devel
ok Now you have openssl. Now you need to install Net:SSLeay. this is the Pearl interface for webmin to use OpenSSL.
download here:
http://webmin.com/download/Net_SSLeay.pm-1.23.tar.gz
then untar:
tar -xzf Net_SSLeay.pm-1.23.tar.gz
then install
perl Makefile.PL make install
if you have a problem with this for some wierd reason, then you probably haven't gotten openssl installed correctly. Then there is an option in the WebMin itself to use SSL. Enable it and you are done. SSL is very important, don't get in the bad habit of not securing your box.
