Install/Configure Webmin Web-Based Access Tools on REDHAT LINUX

Install & Configure Webmin on Redhat Linux Server


Webmin is a web-based interface for system administration for Unix. Using any modern web browser, you can setup/create user accounts, you can start stop the services, you can ssh/remote login for command mod,  file sharing and much more. Webmin is one graphical/browsable easy simple access tool...I like this tool too much.... Lets see how to install webmin and how to use this simple tool...

Requirements:
1. Webmin RPM (Here we have used webmin-1.590-1.noarch.rpm version)

Installation:
[root@proxy2 home]# rpm -ivh webmin-1.590-1.noarch.rpm
warning: webmin-1.590-1.noarch.rpm: Header V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 11f63c51
Preparing...                ########################################### [100%]

Webmin install complete. You can now login to http://proxy2:10000/
as root with your root password.
[root@proxy2 home]#

Change Default Port No:

By default webmin gives 10000 port no, for your security purpose you can change port no to anything... Here i am changing 9543 port no...File is available in /etc/webmin/ (Before modification with original file take one backup copy for your safety purpose...)

[root@proxy2 webmin]# cp miniserv.conf miniserv.conf.org
[root@proxy2 webmin]#
[root@proxy2 webmin]# vi miniserv.conf
port=9543
