Webmin removes the need to manually +edit Unix configuration files like /etc/passwd and lets you manage +a system from the console or remotely. + +Webmin consists of a simple web server and a number of CGI programs +which directly update system files like /etc/inetd.conf and /etc/passwd. +The web server and all CGI programs are written in Perl version 5, and use +only the standard perl modules. + +Some modules will require manual configuration from within webmin. +Login with root and root's password. + +If you need to start webmin at boot. +The recommended way is to add the following to your /etc/rc.d/rc.local +script and make sure rc.webmin has executable permissions set: + if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.webmin ]; then + /etc/rc.d/rc.webmin start + fi +After the webmin service is started, point your web browser to +http://localhost:10000 and login as root to use webmin. + +Note that if you upgrade from a older version of this SlackBuild +you __MUST__ use the new /etc/rc.d/rc.webmin file. +Also, if you are upgrading, you need to backup your /etc/webmin directory. +All of the config files will be deleted by this upgrade - however, that +problem is solved in future upgrades, so it won't be an issue again. |
