Once you've setup a certificate authority, you can go into the Webmin Users module
and request a client cert for the current user. Once it is stored in your browser, you can
login to webmin without needing to supply a username and password - instead, the client
cert is used for authentication.

Unfortunately, this only works with netscape at the moment ..
