Securing Webmin using OpenSSL | 5 comments | Create New Account
How to Install ProFTPD on Mac OS X 10.5 Server Thu, - 17:05 — Daniel Morante Apple's built in FTP server is rather limited, and can not be managed with Webmin. Webmin for Mac is a web-based interface for system administration for Unix. Using any modern web browser, you can setup user accounts, Apache, DNS, file sharing and much more. Webmin for Mac removes the need to manually edit Unix configuration files, such as /etc/passwd, and lets you manage a system from the console or remotely. Working (or living) within a Linux-based network is become more and more commonplace. And with the popularity of Mac OS X rising, Apple-based computers have to play well inside a Linux network.

Do you have to use the Darwin dev tools stated or do the OpenSSL headers also come as part of the 10.1 Dev Tools from the ADC site?
This hint relates specifically to Mac OS X (10.1). It can also apply to Darwin. The 'Darwin Development Tools' include the neccessary headers for SSL, which were not included with the 'Apple Developer Tools.' You'll need to have both to be successful at securing Webmin.

I believe an Apple ADC membership is required to download the Apple dev tools. The Darwin tools require no membership.
First, install webmin for os x.
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/unix_open_source/webmininstaller.html
Next down load the package from cpan.
http://www.cpan.org/modules/by-module/Net/
get Net_SSLeay.pm-1.25.tar.gz
Then click on the Others item on the top left. Then click Perl Modules.
select
From uploaded file and pick Choose File and select the Net_SSLeay.pm-1.25.tar.gz
Then click install. For me that did the trick. Then I just went into my webmin settings and changed them to use ssl and I was all set.
Hope this helps as it is my FIRST OS X hints post

Hi I tried this, but got the following error
Error: Unable to locate installed Perl libraries or Perl source code.
It is recommended that you install perl in a standard location before
building extensions. Some precompiled versions of perl do not contain
these header files, so you cannot build extensions. In such a case,
please build and install your perl from a fresh perl distribution. It
usually solves this kind of problem.
(You get this message, because MakeMaker could not find '/System/Library/Perl/5.8.1/darwin-thread-mu
lti-2level/CORE/perl.h')
Checking if your kit is complete...
Looks good
How do I tell it where the Perl libraries are, i think it should be /System/Library/Perl/darwin/CORE ?
Cheers
David

Mac Os X Update
Sounds like you don't have the Developer Tools installed...
