Good point, but Webmin is seeing very frequent updates and the PKG's I've 
found of it are usually quite a bit behind. Webmin is very easy to install 
from the sources, so I always recommend to download to most recent version 
from www.webmin.com. Just extract the tarball and run the "setup.sh" script.

To enable Webmin's HTTPS mode you'll need to install openssl (an RPM of it 
for RedHat 6.2 will do, or compile it from the sources with "./configure", 
"make", "make test", "make install" ) and you need to install the PERL module 
Net::SSLeay.

That can be done with the following command line (issued as root):

perl MCPAN  -e 'install "NET::SSLeay"'

Then again ... you can always use Webmins integrated upgrade feature to 
upgrade to a newer version. That should even work for the ones you install as 
PKG.
