Comments on Installing Webmin On Ubuntu Feisty Fawn (7.04)

"The server I used was previously setup according to the HowTo Forge document..."
So we need to do all that install first, isn't it?
"(...)the root account needs to be enabled, which breaks one of the major security(...) "
But in that install it is enabled!

 "...revert the dcc-client and dcc-server back to version  1.2.74-2"
Pease, could you write down the steps?

Good point .... my caveat to following the process mentioned as my initial install was that I didn't use the root account but used sudo at all points.

revert the dcc-client and dcc-server back to version 1.2.74-2"
I'll try to put in a full note on how to revert the dcc client. However as a teaser ... quick pointer .. I used the apt commands that control the version as part of the install.

For example, the lines below will install version 1.2.74-2 of the dcc-client / server packages:

# apt-get install dcc-client=1.2.74-2

# apt-get install dcc-server=1.2.74-2

I just want to say "THANK YOU!!!" for an easy-to-follow instruction on how to setup Webmin.  I now have a GUI for my server running Ubuntu Server 8.10 that I can run from my WinXP Pro desktop, and I don't have to have a monitor, keyboard, or mouse connected to the server!!!  By the way, I'm setting up my first Linux box, so this is exciting in it's own right. 

Also, it setup the proper version of Perl for my distro version.  I wish I had not turned it on at boot-up, because I'd prefer to not have the continuous overhead.  But, for now, as I'm experimenting with Ubuntu and the RAID5 array I created in OpenSuSE (& want to use in Ubuntu), it's ok to have it running immediately from start-up.  But, once I've got it all configured the way I want, then I'm taking out the OS HDD & installing a blank one and doing one more setup without the "minor" mistakes!

 Again, I LOVE your forging forward with Webmin.  It got me going!!!
