Webmin - Newbie

['Forum Post]

I have just installed Webmin from the Synaptic Package Manager on Ubuntu
5.04. One confusing point. Webmin will only start on the Ubuntu server
as the 'root' user. I tried for hours to start it from my Windows PC as
described in the documentation.



Start it from Firefox/Ubuntu first. 

Log in as 'root'

Select 'Webmin Users'

Add another user and password and select the functions for this user.

Select 'Webmin Configuration'

Select 'IP Access Control'



This screen is not clear on how to add additional IP addresses. What
you do is simply edit the Table by clicking in it and adding any other
addresses that you want to use for Webmin. Click 'Save' when finished.



Having done the above, I was then able to logon to Webmin from my
Windows PC using the new user I had just added.



I think that the package creator ASSUMED that you knew all of this.
Maybe they would like to add it to their documentation.
