Passwords are not necessarily sent clear with webmin.
If you've got openssl or ssleay on the server, and install the Net::SSLeay
perl module (available from the same dir as webmin), THEN install webmin,
it will detect the SSL capabilities, and will offer to use them.
Of course, you'll need to accept the cert it uses, or make a new one for it
to use, but that's up to you.
