Ah.  That's OK then. That's not what I'd heard.  Here I've heard people
describe webmin as a security hazard, and on many lists I hear statements
that anyone who needs a gui to get "XYZ" configured shouldn't be a
sysadmin.  I don't use webmin, but I'm a firm believer in _good_ guis for
managing complicated servers.  A gui should be able to stop people making
most of the really stupid mistakes (and would the sysadmin out there who's
never made a stupid mistake please speak up?).
