Re: [webmin-devel] Logging remote commands

[Andrew K. <ak...@co...>]

Forgive for my ignorance, but, how would that effect Usermin activity? 
Usermin runs as root
as does Webmin. Couldn't Usermin activity be logged in the same fashion? 
Why would a module's
privileges matter if the master process has root privileges.  Thanks.
