Michael,

I removed WebMin for this reason. However, it seems like it'd be an excellent backup should SSH ever fail or be unavailable for whatever reason. How could you go about (safely) creating a HTML page, accessable via SSL, that once you supplied the proper credentials, could fire up the WebMin application? Effectively, allowing one to trigger the process at will? Your thoughts?
