Webmin Configuration
Although Webmin usually needs no
additional customization to work correctly, the system administrator
might want to limit from where this tool can be accessed and whether
remote administration will be allowed, for obvious security reasons.
This can be done by clicking on the Webmin configuration button as
seen in Figure 364,
which shows the various configuration menus. IP access control (Figure 365)
can be used to restrict the IP addresses from which Webmin can be accessed.
Entering the localhost (loopback) address will limit access to Webmin
from the browser on the machine to be administered. This is very important
if the system is on a public network to avoid a remote compromise of
the system.
