md5 is used to check that you have a full and complete download (or copy in general) of something. Using md5 you check a series of numbers against those posted next to the downloaded (or otherwise acquired) copy of data.

man md5 for the real answer, but it's pretty technical on my box.

As for wbm, you can check what files are created/associated with by using 'file' in a console. Open up a terminal and type:
file filename
where filename is the filename that you are trying to learn about. So if the file is in your home directory and it's called chaps.wbm then:
file ~/chaps.wbm
Should give you something.

Cool

From the webmin FAQ:

Quote:

How do I install new modules?

Once you have downloaded a new module as a .wbm file, enter the Webmin Configuration module and click on the Webmin Modules button. Then use the form at the top of the page to install the module either from the local filesystem of the server Webmin is running on, or uploaded from the client your browser is on.
