Webmin on EC2

Installing the RPM package of Webmin on EC2 was a 5 step process for me:

*** Verify the latest RPM version at http://www.webmin.com/download.html
  1. wget http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/webadmin/webmin-1.610-1.noarch.rpm
  2. sudo rpm -U webmin-1.610-1.noarch.rpm
  3. sudo /usr/libexec/webmin/changepass.pl /etc/webmin root foo
    1. Change the webmin root password to foo. 
  4. sudo /etc/init.d/webmin restart
  5. Configure IPTables to allow port 10000: http://www.webmin.com/firewall.html
Webmin will be accessible at http://youserverip:10000

* Works fine on CentOS in Linode and Rackspace.
* Would be nice to install cert for this though.
