Re: [webmin-l] password and unlocking host

[Jamie C. <jca...@we...>]

That is really odd, as the list of blocked hosts is stored
only in memory and should be cleared after a restart.

Try running /etc/webmin/stop ; /etc/webmin/start

Failing that, edit /etc/webmin/miniserv.conf and remove
the blockhost_failures line, THEN do a restart.
