I had to reboot.  After that Webmin worked. ??? sigh.

SSL Webmin did not.  I knew that OpenSSL was installed, I was using 
it already for Scalix admin.  So I just needed Net:SSLeay

yum install perl-Net-SSLeay

And I am up and running.

As I look at webmin, I might be REALLY happy with it to ease my way.
