Perl MD5 module for Webmin
The Webmin Users and Groups module supports the encryption of passwords with the MD5 algorithm, if your system supports it. However, this depends on the Perl MD5 module, which can be downloaded from
http://www.cpan.org/modules/by-module/MD5/MD5-1.7.tar.gz.
Once downloaded, enter the following commands to install the module :
gunzip MD5-1.7.tar.gz
tar xvf MD5-1.7.tar
cd MD5-1.7
perl Makefile.PL
make
make install
tar xvf MD5-1.7.tar
cd MD5-1.7
perl Makefile.PL
make
make install
If you are using Webmin 0.83 or above, an even easier option is to use the Perl Modules module to make and install the MD5 module from CPAN.
