[webmin-l] Maintaining a Webmin login session

[Dave I. <dav...@en...>]

I have noticed that when logged into Webmin on a remote computer, I can
restart Webmin and even reboot the entire computer and maintain my login
session.  That is, once the computer is back up I can resume my existing
Webmin session without having to log in again.  This occurs whether or not I
have enabled session authentication on the Webmin
Configuration/Authentication page.

I would prefer that when the computer is restarted, any existing Webmin
sessions are discarded.  Is this possible?

Thanks

Dave Isaacs

</blockquote>There is no built-in feature for this ... but you could hack it by switching to session authentication mode, and then adding a bootup script that runs before Webmin it started to delete /var/webmin/sessiondb*<br /><br />=A0- Jamie<br /><br />
