webmin login failure

I've tried everything I know to try. This might be gentoo specific,
but might not.

I emerged (gentoo pkg) webmin and started it with the script in init.d.

I can go to it, but nobody can log in. I searched /etc/webmin for
something that looked like user configuration and I find webmin.acl,
which has root listed (but root can't log in). Originally this was a
perl issue, I didn't have Authen::PAM installed and so it couldn't log
in.

That is no longer an issue though.

I also tried running /usr/libexec/webmin/setup.sh and get this at the
end:

Webmin has been installed and started successfully. Use your web
browser to go to

https://fwtest:10000/

and login with the name and password you entered previously.

Cool...except...it never asked for no name or password so obviously I
didn't enter them previously.

The only thing the log says now is:

..error:

[19/Jan/2005:02:08:12 -0800] miniserv.pl started
[19/Jan/2005:02:08:12 -0800] PAM authentication enabled
[19/Jan/2005:02:11:56 -0800] miniserv.pl started

..log:
127.0.0.1 - - [19/Jan/2005:02:08:31 -0800] "GET / HTTP/1.0" 401 1581
127.0.0.1 - - [19/Jan/2005:02:08:41 -0800] "POST /session_login.cgi
HTTP/1.0" 401 1629

So I am running into a brick wall now I think. Maybe it is a pam
thing, which I know nothing about comming from slackware originally.
Maybe it is a webmin configuration thing I can't find. I can't imagine
what else would block the login attempt...

I've used webmin before and never had this much trouble, but that was a
long time ago...

BTW, where are the docs for configuring webmin? Their site doesn't
exactly make the obvious...

Figures...I was looking at the wrong area of the page for
documentation. Its a big link up at the top but I missed it. Once I
found that it was a matter of minutes before I solved the issue...so
nevermind again...

I needed to run changepass.pl...
