Re: [webmin-l] Virtualmin limited access

[John H. <web...@ew...>]

This would be for internal use. Lower privilege admins so to speak. 
Powers less than root, but still at least the ability to shut down any 
website for lack of payment or whatever reason. I'm thinking about of 
the scenario of a virtual host which might have a couple of aliased 
domains, maybe 20 email accounts and perhaps some special entries in the 
DNS. In two clicks, it can all be gone. If the first click is wrong, 
(delete and disable are side by side and both start with a 'd') most of 
the time people don't read the second warning very well. Cats walk on 
keyboards... things fall on keyboards... I go to sleep at the keyboard! 
(literally... but generally the 'first' mouse click wakes me up!)

I can live with it as is, just hoped I was missing something and could 
take away that one powerful ability.
