I asked Johnny Hughes about the release version file. It is official 
that using redhat-release is OK with Redhat. The file just can't contain 
any reference to redhat. So, at least for now, it looks like CentOS will 
use redhat-release in /etc.

Whitebox did use their own release file. I wonder if that's still 
hanging around? wbel-release or whitebox-release.. I don't remember the 
name. I guess that could be causing issues?

Beyond that, Jamie would best know how to handle this as obviously he 
knows Webmin inside and out.

Do check your ACL list though, just to be sure the module didn't somehow 
get turned off for whatever user you operate under.

And thanks again to Jamie for supporting these other OS's. I'm sure it's 
getting to be quite a list!

Best,
John Hinton
