This feature uses 10-20 (possibly up to 100) TCP ports above the one
configured for Webmin.  So, if Webmin is configured to use port 10000,
you need to open ports 10000-10100 in order for the RPC feature to
work correctly (we've gotten away with only opening 10000-10020, but
haven't tried to do much with RPC to date).
