Strange, I have all those directories and there is a pidfile=20
in /var. /usr/local/etc/webmin is the main webmin directory, and there is a=
=20
shell script named "start". Running the rc.d script from the command line=20
does start the miniserv.pl process. Removing the webmin_enable=3D"NO" didn'=
t=20
change anything, it still doesn't start from boot. Sounds like your install=
=20
may not have worked. Anyway, I have a client that uses webmin almost=20
exclusively and she brought it to my attention. I checked a couple of other=
=20
machines and it isn't working on any of them. I did a quick cron hack to cu=
re=20
the problem for now. I haven't really looked into the new rc.d scripts, but=
I=20
guess it's about time. Please let me know if you find an answer.
Thanks,
Beech
