Somewhat concerned about the security implications as well. While
working in support, I've seen several hosts exploited via webmin. In that
regard, its second only to old bind/admrocks exploits.
Now, I should mention that for almost all cases, these were machines
that were essentially "admin-free", and I suspect the installations of webmin
were suboptimal. Havent been able to find any known exploits in webmin
either, but the sheer volume of exploited machines scares me a bit.
