Ok, I've taken another look at this, and I don't think that part is the
problem. I installed the webmin port, then tried to run the
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/webmin.sh script. It seems that a few bits are missing,
at least from what I can see. That script has the following:
pidfile=/var/log/webmin/miniserv.pid
required_dirs=${prefix}/etc/webmin
command=${prefix}/etc/webmin/start
The pidfile location looks bogus, but even if /var/log is the right place
for this, I don't have a /var/log/webmin directory after installing the
port. The /usr/local/etc/webmin directory doesn't exist either, and
therefore the listed command doesn't exist. Therefore, there is no way that
this boot script could work.
Now I'm not sure what the right answers are here, and if I'm missing some
important element of the thing, please let me know.
hth,
Doug
