Apache Webserver for Webmin

[Derek Maciel]

Right.

I'm asking this because whenever I browse to a Webmin installation, no
matter what server it's installed on or whatever computer I'm
accessing it from, my internet browser always warns me that an
intruder could be stealing information as the server's certificate is
not accepted by my operating system. I have already recreated the
certificate to no avail. I thought that switching to Apache would fix
the problem, but now I see that it would be a bad idea.
