Hi, I've just installed Webmin 1.020 on my RedHat 8.0.
RedHat has openssl-0.9.6b by default. When I try to use
SSL with Webmin apparently Net::SSLeay was not
installed. Then I try to install it but an error shows up.
In the Net_SSLeay.pm-1.20.readme on CPAN web site
show this note:

Note: SSLeay is no longer supported. If you want to use
Net::SSLeay with SSLeay or early versions of
OpenSSL, use version 1.03. The support for SSLeay
was dropped due to nobody maintaining it (all active
work goes on with OpenSSL) and due to incompatible
API changes in OpenSSL-0.9.2b. OpenSSL-0.9.1c
support has also been dropped, version 1.03 was the
last one to support that.

Q: How cain I use SSL encryption with Webmin in RH
8.0???

    You can solve the error message that occurs when installing
    by editing
    /usr/include/openssl/des.h and commenting out line 193 .
    Then try installing
    again ..
    That message about SSLeay not being supported refers to the
    old SSLeay C
    library, which has long since been replaced with OpenSSL.
