In the Ubuntu IRC support channel on freenode, they say that webmin has not
handled conf files properly for the last couple of versions of Ubuntu, among
other reasons.

I left webmin long ago when I learned to set up services in a way that's
native to the OS. Of course, I do understand the desire to control things
from a simple gui.

Is that an imaginary example, or something you've heard that's specific to
webmin?
