Re: [webmin-l] Webmin friendly Linux OS?

[<da...@we...>]

Hello Jamie, thanks for the speedy and very helpful reply. The CENTOS does the trick. After the install I simply acquired the Webmin RPM and I have the new box built with remote access via: http://hostname:10000. In spite of the fact that I have two user logins at the console that work when I try the same logins (root and/or myself) I get authentication error from Webmin. How-to-fix? Please advise, David.
