Well perhaps if you're sitting next to the server, but the point of wemin
is to access remote servers and fix/change stuff quickly. I use it on
several remote servers. One of them is in Arizona and it didn't even come
with webmin. I installed it and went from there. I think it's probably a
good idea to put it on a non-standard port (10000 stock).
