Strange, I have all those directories and there is a pidfile 
in /var. /usr/local/etc/webmin is the main webmin directory, and there is a 
shell script named "start". Running the rc.d script from the command line 
does start the miniserv.pl process. Removing the webmin_enable="NO" didn't 
change anything, it still doesn't start from boot. Sounds like your install 
may not have worked. Anyway, I have a client that uses webmin almost 
exclusively and she brought it to my attention. I checked a couple of other 
machines and it isn't working on any of them. I did a quick cron hack to cure 
the problem for now. I haven't really looked into the new rc.d scripts, but I 
guess it's about time. Please let me know if you find an answer.

Thanks,

Beech
