Thanks I will try it out, but is it useful to Linux newbies?

yes, it's easy to use for newbies. Also, be forewarned that if you want to use https/ssl to access it you cannot be running Redhat 9.0 last I checked. Apparently, Redhat broke something in their last release affecting this.

uh check that, just came upon a way of doing it using stunnel in Redhat 9.0... wish I had read this whole page before (guess I was being lazy).

http://www.webmin.com/ssl.html

I should note that I run Suse 8.2 in addition to redhat 9.0 and redhat 7.3 , and that suse came with ssl enabled webmin already installed and good to go. I think I needed to open the port in the firewall, but that was pretty easy to do.

Everything is slow on a P100, even emacs.

Linux itself isn't... just webmin... I will live... unless someone has some ideas...

It reminds me of the dial-up days. Only the server in on my network and sitting at my feet.
