As I said, I've never used it. I only mentioned I don't know either. If I were to do this, one thing I would strongly consider doing would be binding the httpd that served webmin ONLY to the internal interface. Then, someone would have to break in from the inside side of the firewall to break webmin. Definitely not the only thing I'd do, but something. This is something those cheap NAT routers do, and it makes a lot of sense. -- bryan k ogawa <bko@idiom.com> http://www.idiom.com/~bko/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
