I am using webmin 1.410 installed from the RPM. I want to build my own rpm for internally distributing on some servers. <br /><br />The key feature I want to add to this build is another user without root access. I want a webmin account called &quot;box-admin&quot; that only has access to a few modules like firewall, net, time, etc. This way, certain level of users are not overwhelmed by all the functions available in webmin. <br />
<br />I have searched but could not find where the user information is stored in webmin, so I can add it to a distribution.&nbsp; If it is easier, I can add a group/user to the linux box, but I really want the scaled down options for this user base.<br />
<br />Very cool and impressive application.<br /></blockquote><p>Thanks!<br />The files you need to modify are /etc/webmin/miniserv.users and /etc/webmin/webmin.acl .<br /><br />In the first you will need to append a line like :<br />box-admin:XXXXX<br />where XXXXX is the unix-encrypted password.</p><p><br />
In webmin.acl you should add the line :<br />box-admin: firewall net etc..<br /><br />Make sure you run /etc/webmin/restart after changing those files.<br /><br />&nbsp;- Jamie<br /><br /></p>
