Cloudmin login fails, unless restarted via SSH

For some odd reason, I can’t login to my Cloudmin management server as root, unless I restart cloudmin via SSH, using /etc/init.d/webmin restart.

What would cause this?

I’m getting the same problem: every time I restart the server I have to manually restart webmin - “/etc/init.d/webmin restart” - otherwise cloudmin and webmin won’t work. Is there some other boot-up config option: I already have webmin configured to start at bootup - but clearly it is not as simple as that!

are you running ubuntu as the host OS?

Hello,

my servers are all running as ubuntu server. This is old problem, but I never resolved it. Cloudmin (or Webmin) authenticate users by pam. Sometimes, authenticate stuck and I must restart webmin (service webmin restart).
