HI.
Im new in Opensuse, can anyone tell me how i install Webmin with HTTPS:// log in.?
i use opensuse 11 like a server.
Hi
Just download the noarch rpm from the webmin website. It will install
as https by default on port 10000.
wget
http://voxel.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/webadmin/webmin-1.430-1.noarch.rpm
sudo rpm -Uhv webmin-1.430-1.noarch.rpm

It installs with https:// as default if first you install the ssleay module for Perl. And I prefer to install it from Command Line. I installed webmin and now want to open the port in the firewall because it won’t let me access it. How do I do that? I did it once but it was so long ago that I don’t remember. And I haven’t used Suse in a while because my secondary disk broke. But now I have one again and the only thing I can’t remember how to do is that one. Thanks in advanced to anyone who can answer me.
PD: What happened to the other Suse forums? suseforums.net for example.
Hi
It is better to start a new post rather than tack yours onto another 
If you go to YaST -> Security and Users -> Firewall, select Allowed
Services on the left and then hit the ‘advanced button’ and add the
port you have webmin running on. You can then hit the next button to
apply your changes etc.

Ok i have webmin on m pc now, but i dont have ssleay module for Perl.
how can i get ssleay module for Perl?
My bad. I thought it was better to ask in a previous thread. Well, I tried that but it didn’t work and it asks for the TCP Port, UDP port, RPC port and IP Protocols. I tried by entering 10000 in TCP but it didn’t work. I think I need more info.

And to get SSLeay you just have to go to Yast and search for SSLeay and choose to install it. It’s right there in the repository.
Hi
Can you run nmap on the target machine, or netstat to check it’s
running or /etc/init.d/webmin status.

It doesn’t let me post the output from netstat but System Services (Run Level) says it’s working. But I had given the pc a hostname with the command Hostname <hostname> and it seems to have changed it back. How do I permanently change the hostname?
Hi
You need to modify the hostname in YaST->Network Devices->Network
Settings on the Hostname/DNS tab.

Hi
Then if you re-run the install of the rpm;
kermit-opensuse:~ # rpm
-Uhv /home/malcolml/downloads/webmin-1.430-1.noarch.rpm
Preparing... ###########################################
[100%] Operating system is SuSE Linux 1:webmin
########################################### [100%] Webmin install
complete. You can now login to https://kermit-opensuse:10000/ as root
with your root password.
Note it’s the https login.

nice its work find now. but how can i change webmin port?
and is web min safe to use in my home network?
Hi
What I showed was an example from my system, you missed the rpm command
first. Also you need to substitute the location I used.
rpm -Uhv /<path_to_file>/webmin-1.430-1.noarch.rpm

Hi
Webmin->Webmin Configuration->Ports and Addresses.
I use it on all my machines here internally. If I was accessing
remotely I would generally use ssh and tcp forwarding to the port
webmin is running on.

ok…
but i have the “samba windows file sharing” in webmin. i have create a new file share, how can i connect the chare form Ubuntu and xp. do you now?
Windows file sharing nice…
If you have a share you must have a username & password to access the share? otherwise its not secure?
I dont use samba but I would presume that any users that try to connect to the share would have to put in the address or the name of the machine then the “share name”?
I will try this now…
As I have used webmin for ages but never used samba and cant hurt…
