Chapter 3: Webmin Configuration

Overview

Webmin provides a number of configurable options and access control features, as well as flexible action logging that provides you with the maximum flexibility and security of the Webmin server and the various Webmin system administration modules.

These features are accessed through the Webmin tab on the index page of Webmin. When you display theWebmin tab, you see icons for Usermin Configuration, Webmin Actions Log, WebminConfiguration, Webmin Servers Index, and Webmin Users. Keep in mind that the modules located under the Webmin tab are for configuring Webmin itself, not the underlying system.

So, for example, creating a user in the Webmin Users module will not create a system user, only a Webmin user. Likewise, the Webmin Actions Log module allows you to search and view the Webmin log, not any system or service log that might exist. We'll get to those kinds of options later. For the moment, we're going to skip over Usermin Configuration because Usermin receives full coverage in the next chapter.
