I am still clueless on the subject after spending the last three hours R'ing every F'ing M I could find. They all say the same thing...

1)install the rpm.
2)log in to localhost...:10000/

I've installed webmin under 4 different os's, on three different machines. Two versions of YDL, and two RH PC's. It has done the same thing every time, which is absolutely nothing. The browser is invariably unable to connect. This must be so basic of a mistake that no one even bothers to mention it. At the same time, if there are some prerequisites, why are they never mentioned? I've tried every permutation of localhost that I can think of, {hostname}, $HOSTNAME, IP address, you name it. The result is always the same. It also fails to work between two networked machines that I am quite sure can see each other.

What am I missing???
