hmmm...and it has worked on other CentOS 4.2 systems...that is strange.

Personally, I wouldn't install that way but that is a personal
preference. I generally install from tarballs - even though the last 2
or 3 versions of tarball fail to install the redhat sysV script (and so
I might change my ways).

If you install webmin from 'dag' repository, you automatically get
perl-Net-SSLeay and any other dependencies installed (I don't really any
other dependencies) and dag repository will take care of updates each
time you yum update - which is probably the best of all worlds -
especially since the dag repository has fixed the issues he had with
updates in his first few webmin packages.

anyway...this may be useful
# rpm -q \
--whatprovides /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.5/Authen/SASL/Perl.pm
perl-Authen-SASL-2.09-1.2.el4.rf

try 'yum install perl-Authen-SASL'
