Re: [webmin-l] Virtualmin show password problem

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

This is an unfortunate side-effect of the stricter referer checking
in Webmin 1.400. Firefox passes referer information for popup windows,
but IE does not :-(

The work-around till I fix this in the next release is to go to Webmin ->
Webmin Configuration -> Trusted Referers, and check the 'Trust links from
unknown referrers' box. The down side is that if you visit a malicious website
at the same time you have Webmin open, and the site guesses your Webmin URL,
it could capture your login :-(
