RE: webmin users configuration, stuff

[Richard T. <we...@te...>]

Jamie-

I like the new module, but can you add an option to
view the users in a drop down list format as well.. I have
too many, and the page is REALLY long..
That way I can drop down choose the user, then click a button, which
would take me to the change password page.
:)

Also, in the ACL.. the ability to select all except users with ID < 500 or
whatever would be helpful in order to restrict (say my help desk) for doing
any real damage.. and I dont have to explicity edit the acl with the the
users if I add a new "system" user later on.

Thanks!
Another Great Module!

Oh, I see what you mean now .. That shouldn't be too hard to add, so
look for it in the next official release.

Turns out it was quite easy to implement... I have attached the
new module to this email, so give it a try and tell me what you think.
