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 <tt>\/etc\/passwd<\/tt>, and lets you manage a system from the console or remotely. <span id=\"line-6\" class=\"anchor\"><\/span><span id=\"line-7\" class=\"anchor\"><\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"head-b590773ac50f5b3a950172386cdfccd89d2c9ea8\">&#8220;install from RPM&#8221; VS &#8220;install from repository&#8221;<\/h2>\n<p class=\"line862\">When installing from RPM by &#8220;rpm -U webmin-1.470-1.noarch.rpm&#8221; you will not be able to upgrade Webmin by simple yum upgrade. To upgrade such installation you will need to redownload and reinstall RPM manually. E.g. no automatic upgrades are done. <span id=\"line-9\" class=\"anchor\"><\/span><span id=\"line-10\" class=\"anchor\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"line862\">When Webmin is installed from a repository, bug fixes and security patches can be automated as are other system updates, and managed using yum.. Also, yum_updatesd daemon will warn you about updates and\/or install them depending on it&#8217;s settings. <span id=\"line-11\" class=\"anchor\"><\/span><span id=\"line-12\" class=\"anchor\"><\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"head-8881d35994e38501aa4a9727a9dd3901d30689ed\">How to install from repository<\/h2>\n<p class=\"line867\">Become root. <span id=\"line-14\" class=\"anchor\"><\/span><span id=\"line-15\" class=\"anchor\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"line874\">Copy and paste the following into console: <span id=\"line-16\" class=\"anchor\"><\/span><span id=\"line-17\" class=\"anchor\"><\/span><\/p>\n<pre>(echo \"[Webmin]\r\n<span id=\"line-18\" class=\"anchor\"><\/span>name=Webmin Distribution Neutral\r\n<span id=\"line-19\" class=\"anchor\"><\/span>baseurl=http:\/\/download.webmin.com\/download\/yum\r\n<span id=\"line-20\" class=\"anchor\"><\/span>enabled=1\" &gt;\/etc\/yum.repos.d\/webmin.repo\r\n<span id=\"line-21\" class=\"anchor\"><\/span>rpm --import http:\/\/www.webmin.com\/jcameron-key.asc\r\n<span id=\"line-22\" class=\"anchor\"><\/span>yum -y install webmin)\r\n<span id=\"line-23\" class=\"anchor\"><\/span><\/pre>\n<p class=\"line874\">Press enter if command hasn&#8217;t executed automatically. <span id=\"line-26\" class=\"anchor\"><\/span><span id=\"line-27\" class=\"anchor\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"line862\">Ok.<\/p>\n<p class=\"line862\">The Webmin repo and application are now installed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is Webmin?
