Swat no longer installable!

[Romeyn Prescott]

 From the webmin FAQ located at http://webmin.com/faq.html :

-----
How do I change my Webmin password if I can't login?

  Included with the Webmin distribution is a program called 
changepass.pl to solve precisely this problem. Assuming you have 
installed Webmin in /usr/local/webmin-1.170, you could change the 
password of the admin user to foo by running
/usr/local/webmin-1.170/changepass.pl /etc/webmin admin foo
