.:: Webmin install

Webmin is a configuration program u can install, that allows virtually every config to be made by http, which has some great advantages since u can config all webmin servers from 1 webmin https server, so entire domain's can be configged remotely through secure http.
The biggest advantage is simply that things become graphical, everythings centralised, and short clear descriptions are given.
Kinda gives linux a windows-look-feel.

.:: Installation

apt-get install webmin does the trick, and then u have edit /etc/webmin/miniserv.conf.

Find the line allow = 127.0.0.1 and add all the hosts from where u want to be able to acces webmin.
like allow = 127.0.0.1 192.168.0.1 192.168.0.3

Your now able to connect to your webmin configuration utility, open a webbrowser and open https://hostname:10000.

EnJoY !!

.:: Tweaking

Basic configuration options can be extended by downloading and installing standard or third party webmin modules.
Standard modules can be downloaded in webmin itself, third party modules can be found here.
