What do i need to do to access webmin from elsewhere? I installed it and it works from localhost, but I'd like to access it from other computers at home and in the office.

I have apache server up & running, proftp an ssh. I just can't seem to access webmin from home....

Yes. In /etc/webmin/miniserv.conf remove any line that says allow=whatever and then do

 

service webmin restart

 

If you use shorewall as your firewall, you can add a rule for port 10000 in /etc/shorewall/rules

Something like:

ACCEPT your-ip-address fw tcp 10000 -

 

then

 

service shorewall restart

 

I strongly suggest you do it by specific ip address, but if you are brave, you can change your-ip-address to 'net' (without the quotes).

there is no allow line at all. there is a line

denyfile=\.pl$

 

i don't know enough linux to understand that line...

 

however by adding the line to shorewall i can now get in! Thank you.

Maybe you could tell me why i got an error retarting shorewall when i subsituted my IP for 'net'. I'd really rather add an IP range to allow and a couple other IPs than rely solely on the password...

Sorry, it should be:

 

ACCEPT net:your-ip-address fw tcp 10000 -

 

there is a line

denyfile=\.pl$

 

i don't know enough linux to understand that line...

 

I don't know enough about Linux to understand that line. :D
