Hi Nguyen,
Webmin is available as
webmin-1.250-1.2.el4.rf.noarch.rpm
from rpmforge repository. Instructions for setting up rpmforge are here:

I really, really, really, really, really, really wouldn't recommend installing that version, as it is really, really, really, really, really old.
On the other hand I wouldn't recommend installing webmin anyway - but if you have to take the rpm from webmin.com (if that is installable on CentOS, no idea there).
Cheers,
Ralph

Me neither. I once found this on a guy's server:
<?php /* Name : Webmin / Usermin Arbitrary File Disclosure Vulnerability Date : 2006-06-30 Patch : update to version 1.290 Advisory : http://securitydot.net/vuln/exploits/vulnerabilities/articles/17885/vuln.htm...

$host = $argv[1]; $port = $argv[2]; $http = $argv[3]; $file = $argv[4]; // CHECKING THE INPUT if($host != "" && $port != "" && $http != "" && $file != "") { [snip]

Webmin fully supports all versions of CentOS natively. This is likely done via a RHEL alias of some sort or perhaps even backwards... as in CentOS might even be the OS where testing is done and the outcome might be ported to RHEL. :) The bottom line, it will recognize your OS and set itself up according to the normal standards within that OS.... like the name of the apache service and where it lives and where the conf files are and any includes. This is done for almost everything. You will find you'll need to point it in the right direction for some modules.. but the ability is built in.
And yes, it is not as secure as a non-gui server without a control panel, but it does make life a whole lot easier. It does take a fair amount of time to configure each module you use to make sure it outputs as you wish. Really this should be considered an aid to those that are used to doing all the configs by hand first and then wrap Webmin into a state that does it the way you want it done.
As far as security is involved, you should for sure run webmin under secure server. You can set webmin to run on any available port instead of the default 10000 and you can set it to only accept connections from certain IP addresses or networks. Those are a good first line of defense. From there more can be done but is really not pertinent to this list. Webmin is a very active project and it's very easy to contact the author on the webmin mailing list.
A big positive for webmin... for me so far it really doesn't care if you do some configurations by hand and some from within its interface. In other words it makes use of the standard conf files in reading and writing. This is very much unlike anything else I have looked at.

From your Centos browser, just go to *http://www.webmin.com* download the rpm and install using the default installer... Not a big trick a very easy install.
Once installed you can access the program via *https:// your ip or web name:10000 *
login and away you go...

I see it on Dag Wieers repo, but it is way out of date. I would just download and install it. You can update it from inside webmin after it is running, and if you want to update a bunch of systems, you can set up clustering and update all of them from there at once.

As Dag and Jamie have differing opinions about how to install Webmin, which ever one you choose should be the one you stay with. I chose the one from the Webmin website. The main reason is if you run update from within Webmin it gets the one from there which can break the one from Dag.
So, if you enable the dag repository be sure in that repo file or area to add the line
exclude=webmin
I've been configuring dag lately using the install file from his site which is creating /etc/yum.repo.d/rpmforge.repo
Mine looks like this at the top.
# Name: RPMforge RPM Repository for Red Hat Enterprise 5 - dag # URL: http://rpmforge.net/ [rpmforge] exclude=webmin <then the rest of the config data from here down>
