Hello Joe, Thank you for the reply. I did look at the miniserv.conf file. There wasn't an "allow=" line in there. However, I just realized something - I feel so stupid! I was trying to login using *my* login instead of the root login. Not sure why I missed that, other than I have remote root logins turned off for telnet on the box, so I am so used to logging in as myself then using su. Now for the fun part of learning Webmin! Thanks for the help, I really appreciate it.
