  • Improved the setup.sh script to take a directory parameter, to which all Usermin files will be copied at install time, such as /usr/local/usermin. This allows the original usermin-1.030 directory to be deleted after setup.sh is complete.

Version 1.020 (11 May 2003)

  • Added the HTTP Tunnel module, which can be set up by an admin to allow access to some other web server via the Usermin server.

Version 0.960 (8 Oct 2002)

  • Usermin now generates an SSL key at install time, instead of using a built-in key.

This can be done within Webmin on the SSL Encryption page of the Usermin Configuration module.
