A module only needs a defaultacl file if it allows webmin users to be
given different levels of access to the module. This is covered in
http://www.webmin.com/modules.html#acls . The defaultacl file defines
the default full permissions for users who haven't had any explicitly
set.

Do you mean your browser is trying to access the host 'sems', because
webmin has re-directed it to that host?
