#1496 Incorrect error message if SSL cert has not been accepted
If you have an SSL-enabled webmin server that you're
trying to connect to by using the webmin-servers
interface, and you have not previously accepted the SSL
certificate (ie when creating the server details, you
filled in "Login via Webmin with username:"), when you
try to connect by clicking on that server, you get the
following error message:
Failed to connect to $HOSTNAME:$PORT : No route to host
This could be changed to either pop-up the SSL
certificate dialog, or to give a more accurate error
message that states the SSL certificate has not been
accepted.

By the way, this happened on Fedora Core 1 with
openssl-0.9.7a-23 and perl-Net-SSLeay-1.23-0.rhfc1.dag (
from http://dag.wieers.com/packages/perl-Net-SSLeay/\)

That message has nothing to do with accepting the cert, as
this is done by the 'master' webmin server, not your
browser. Rather, it means that the 'master' server cannot
connect to the other server for some reason .. perhaps a
firewall between them.
