Is this the wrong repo? ---- you may be right...they might have dropped it. It was clear that they weren't keeping up with the releases which is why I stopped using rpmforge's version anyway. You can get tarball or rpm version directly from http://www.webmin.com Note: before you install webmin, install perl-Net-SSLeay yum install perl-Net-SSLeay if the webmin installation detects that package is installed, connections are all done via SSL (heavily recommended) that package is indeed in rpmforge Craig
