Webmin implies running the webmin server, miniserv.pl and perl both of which are security holes in themselves. Also they need maintaining. I'd use SSH and yast/editing files for security considerations. Yast makes keeping a system patched quite easy now with the online update assuming your system is pretty minimal which is what most servers are, i.e. no X-server, KDE, etc. etc. Andy On Thursday 31 July 2003 16:37, João Reis wrote:
Hi again.
My main question is if the Webmin is a good tool to do remote administration or are better tools ?

Hi Joao,
Does anyone knows if the Webmin permits to do a administration of the systems securely ?
Jup, you can setup webmin to use https.
Example if i connect from home to my company to administer my systems with webmin is there any secyrity flaws or if it is not advisable ?
Otherwise you can access it using ipsec... or restrict the IP address from which access is possible...
