Default login for webmin?

Proetus · 04-20-2005, 05:28 PM

I installed webmin in order to configure my ftp server. I am pretty sure i set it up right because when i go to local host it ask for username and pw. I dont seem to recall setting one up when installing webmin. Using Xandros 3.0.1 OCE. Any help would be grateful.

ya that didn't work.

From default install it uses root as username and your root password as the password.
If it does not work then I would remove and then reinstall. It normally tells you this during the install.

One more question if i may. Any links to how-to guides for webmin? alot of stuff in there that looks greek to a windows native.

Haven't really seen anything. I myself understand the how to configure most services at the terminal. Using Webmin makes changes quicker for me. Best option is to try to understand what services you wish to modify.

One note not all of the modules in webmin my work. They may require the app to be installed. Word of warning, you are working as root and changes can make somethings not to work. It is recommended to find which files you are changing and make backups of them.
