I built webmin-1.150-2 with this change:

<ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/aix/freeSoftware/aixtoolbox/RPMS/ppc/webmin/webmin-1.150-2.aix5.2.noarch.rpm>

While /etc/webmin/stop does rightfully belong to the webmin package, it can't 
be put in %files because it is not actually contained in the RPM package.  As 
you found, it is instead created dynamically in %post by setup.sh.

So, 'rpm -qf' will not provide a useful result.  At least they took care not
to leave a mess behind when the package is uninstalled.  The %postun section
will remove all of /etc/webmin.

Thanks for your fix!
