A friend is running webmin on a server and it makes setting up some services |
| 9 |
(like CUPS) easier to visualise/understand. However, the login into webmin |

is set up with the root passwd. This on an Internet facing port is making me |
| 11 |
nervous, but he is sooo attached to GUI solutions I cannot convince him that |
| 12 |
ssh is all he needs. Is there a way to only allow logins as a plain user and |
| 13 |
then elevate privileges to root (just like you would su on the CLI |
| 14 |
sort-of-thing)? |
