[Soekris] Webmin on Soekris Anyone?

[Michael DeMan]

We haven't written any modules, we're just using the ones that are publicly
available that we need.  Hence the lack of an IPFILTER module in our
standard deployment.

Also, webmin has some pretty severe disk space requirements.  You will want
to install it on a development machine and then strip out all the modules
you don't want, some of them are huge.  I think stripping the 'themes' out
helps too since there seem to be a lot of graphics files there.

Then add in the 3rd party modules you want and tar-up the webmin directory
and copy it over to your flash and you should be good to go.

We have a standard image with pre-configured webmin users for DNS, routing,
DHCP and stuff.  This allows us to use the Soekris as a customer premise
devise and for more educated customers we let them login to do things like
run their own DNS or DHCP server on it.
