You shouldn't be using an old webmin anyway but if you are you should be aware that there are issues with files in /tmp upon install. The last version I tested did not have this issue... The vuln rpm was from sourceforge... the recent one was by mandrake. Someone may wanna check other rpms. As any user: [elguapo@linux elguapo]$ cd /tmp [elguapo@linux /tmp]$ ln -s /etc/issue webmin-setup.out [elguapo@linux /tmp]$ ls -al webmin-setup.out lrwxrwxrwx 1 elguapo elguapo 10 Dec 13 15:29 webmin-setup.out -> /etc/issue As root: [root@linux /]# rpm -ivh webmin-0.85.rpm Operating system is Redhat Linux 7.0 webmin ################################################## Webmin install complete.
