[webmin-l] [bug report] webmin gui - binding webmin to non-public lo ip fails

[ѽ҉ᶬḳ℠ <vt...@gm...>]

Ubuntu Linux 18.04
Webmin  1.881
Authentic Theme 19.19

Having the lo iface assigned a non-public ip (172.23.120.98)  and trying
to bind Webmin (/webmin/edit_bind.cgi?xnavigation=1) to that ip produces
-> Failed to change address : The IP address 172.23.120.98 is not active
on this system, and so cannot be used

setting 'bind=172.23.122.98' in "/etc/webmin/miniserv.conf" and a
restart of Webmin gets it working though.
