Webmin is one of the packages I install on every *NIX system I set up. I've been using it
to configure Samba (ver. 2.2.2 is the latest) and it works just great.

One thing, though. I'd like it to start up at boot-time automatically. Rather than
edit the system boot scripts (/etc/rc) I'm trying to set this up under /Library/StartupItems.

However, I can't seem to get it to start up correctly. I tried to use the Samba startup
files for a guide but I still seem to be missing something.

Anyone have any clues on this?

Got startup working

First of all, thanks to all the folks here who e-mailed me with suggestions to
fix the problem.

I think the problem was that the StartupItems folder webmin was looking for didn't
exist. I uninstalled Webmin and re-installed it and now it comes up fine.

I love this product....

I don't care what anyone says about the security issues involved with this (and they seem minimal) - after installing this and playing around with it this weekend I have a MUCH DEEPER understanding of the processes that are going on. Sure these items can all be set in the CLI - but if nothing else, this makes a great product for learning what everything does, how it affects other processes, etc. I am very pleased!!!
