3.4. Summary

Securing your Webmin server to prevent unauthorized access is critical, as there are many potential attackers on the Internet who would love to use it to take over your system. This chapter has covered the two different types of security configuration (IP access control and SSL) that should be performed where possible. Because some versions of Webmin have had remotely exploitable security holes, it is also advisable to always upgrade to the latest version as soon as it becomes available to ensure your system's security.
