+Webmin is a web-based interface for system administration for Unix.
+Using any modern web browser, you can setup user accounts, Apache,
+DNS, file sharing, and much more. Webmin removes the need to manually
+edit Unix configuration files like /etc/passwd and lets you manage
+a system from the console or remotely.
+
+Webmin consists of a simple web server and a number of CGI programs
+which directly update system files like /etc/inetd.conf and /etc/passwd.
+The web server and all CGI programs are written in Perl version 5, and use
+only the standard perl modules.
+
+Some modules will require manual configuration from within webmin.
+Login with root and root's password.
+
+If you need to start webmin at boot.
+The recommended way is to add the following to your /etc/rc.d/rc.local
+script and make sure rc.webmin has executable permissions set:
+ if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.webmin ]; then
+ /etc/rc.d/rc.webmin start
+ fi
+After the webmin service is started, point your web browser to
+http://localhost:10000 and login as root to use webmin.
+
+Note that if you upgrade from a older version of this SlackBuild
+you __MUST__ use the new /etc/rc.d/rc.webmin file.
+Also, if you are upgrading, you need to backup your /etc/webmin directory.
+All of the config files will be deleted by this upgrade - however, that
+problem is solved in future upgrades, so it won't be an issue again.
