If the allow= line exists, it contains a list of all addresses and networks that are allowed to connect to Webmin. Similarly, the deny= line contains addresses that are not allowed to connect. After modifying this file, you need to run /etc/webmin/stop ; /etc/webmin/start for the changes to take effect.

| + | |||
| + | ''apt-get install webmin'' | ||
| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | |||

| + | ====== Alternatives ====== | ||
| + | |||
| + | There are a couple alternatives to Webmin for web-based system administration that we could consider. | ||
| + | |||
| + | * [[http://contribs.org/modules/news/ | SME Server 6.5]] has a very nice web-based management system (looks like it's SME-specific though) | ||
