How's the Guinness in Lancashire? Quite good I guess.

I find Webmin to be easy to install and configure for use.

So what exactly is your problem with Webmin? As long as it's installed properly, then you just point to http://localhost:10000/

webmin is installed fine, and is running as a service, put a port scan doesnt show up 10000 as an open port

when entering localhost:10000 it reports an error saying connection with host broken or words to that effect

where are the rules for tiny firewall kept so i can release this port to be used?

on the Mandrake 8.0 I tried it required https://localhost:10000

I had the same problem with webmin, so I found the config file /etc/webmin/?.conf (I believe) and looked at the port it was trying to use, there were two port setting, one was 10000 and the other was 10001. Well port 10000 was reserved for NDMP so I changed the config file to use port 10001. rebooted and then type in https://localhost:10001, into my web browser and it worked just fine. Hope this helps.

This is correct! You can put it on any port by editing this file.
