Logging Into Webmin for the first time

[Patrick Siglin]

That make two of us. Ofcourse I have been using this thing for two weeks. It
does take a lot getting used to but I have found once I get things working
they seem to run great! I didn't install webmin with apt-get. I heard that
version was older. I downloaded and installed the latest.

After working through some dependency issues with webmin-core and
webmin-mailboxes, I got it working OK.

Now to fix the certificate issue, and enable administration via the local
network.

Thanks for the notes; it wasn't obvious to me that I'd need to remove
/etc/webmin/.
