And not for makerpm.pl? We should fix that!

I feel like maybe it ought to be the actual default? I mean, no major virtual machine hosting provider ships with a root user for any OS, AFAIK. They all have some non-root user with sudo.
sudo echo “sudo=1” >> /etc/webmin/miniserv.conf
Thanks, this worked, I can now access all the modules.
Regarding the user account, should I have needed to edit the miniserv.users/webmin.acl files or is there another process I should have followed in this instance.
If you need further information from me please let me know.
You didn’t need to edit that file.
I assumed the sudo user feature was universal, but turns out it was only enabled for Ubuntu/Debian packages. Now that you have enabled the sudo feature you do not need to explicitly configure users that have sudo ALL permissions.
In short: With sudo enabled, Webmin treats all users with sudo ALL capability as a root user, since that’s what it means in the shell.
Agreed! I’ll fix that..
