Problem
          How do I install webmin for OpenServer so that I can manage
          my OpenServer server from a browser on my desktop.


Solution
          "webmin" is a web based system administration interface. It is
          available from the Skunkware distribution.

          To obtain a copy of it over the Internet visit:

                http://www.sco.com/skunkware

          It is also available from the SCO SkunkWare Open Source Software CD
          Version 5.0.6.

          To install from the CD, please use the following steps:

             1. Mount using the commands:

                  mount -r /dev/cd0 /mnt
                  cd /mnt/osr5
                  ./INSTALL

             2. Install using option 16 to:

                  "Enter_Individual_Components_Manually"

          A list of Skunkware 2000 component names is available via either
          netscape file:/mnt/osr5/COMPONENTS.html

          Or

          pg /mnt/osr5/COMPONENTS

          To install the Webmin Software, enter "Webmin" and "Perl." Perl is
          a dependency of Webmin.

          After installation, Webmin can be started using:

                 /etc/rc2.d/S99Webmin start

          Webmin does not require Port 80 to be active on your Web Server for
          services to run. Webmin will listen on Port 10000.

          To access Webmin from your browser on your desktop use the URL:

                http://<my_server>:10000

          You will be asked to login. By default the "admin" user is there with
          the same password as "root."

          You should then be able to administer your OpenServer via your Web
          browser.

NOTE:
          Webmin is also available for UnixWare and other SCO products.

          SkunkWare contains many programs that are to numerous to mention.
