Re: [webmin-l] usermin password

Um .. it is disabled by default though, at least in the Webmin packages from www.webmin.com. Other vendors may have enabled it, but that is out of my control :-)<br /><br />=A0- Jamie<br /><br />On 30/Sep/2005 22:36 Alan Dobkin wrote ..

Since you recommend against using this feature (which I agree with),
then can it be disabled by default for new installations?<br />

Most people won't know to turn it off manually, and it would increase
security by disabling it.<br />
