****************************************************************************
          Welcome to the Usermin setup script, version 2.010
****************************************************************************
Usermin is a web-based interface that allows Unix-like operating
systems and common Unix services to be easily administered.

Installing Usermin from /root/usermin-2.010 to /usr/local/usermin

****************************************************************************
Usermin uses separate directories for configuration files and log files.
Unless you want to run multiple versions of Usermin at the same time
you can just accept the defaults.

Config file directory [/etc/usermin]: /usr/local/etc/usermin
Log file directory [/var/usermin]: /var/log/usermin

****************************************************************************
Usermin is written entirely in Perl. Please enter the full path to the
Perl 5 interpreter on your system.

Full path to perl (default /usr/local/bin/perl):

Testing Perl ..
.. done

****************************************************************************
Operating system name:    FreeBSD
Operating system version: 14.1

****************************************************************************
Usermin uses its own password protected web server to provide access
to the administration programs. The setup script needs to know :
 - What port to run the web server on. There must not be another
   web server already using this port.
 - If the web server should use SSL (if your system supports it).

Web server port (default 20000):

Use SSL (y/n): y

Usermin has been installed and started successfully.

Since Usermin was installed outside the package manager, ensure the
following recommended Perl modules and packages are present:
 Perl modules:
  - DateTime, DateTime::Locale, DateTime::TimeZone, Data::Dumper
  - Digest::MD5, Digest::SHA, Encode::Detect, File::Basename
  - File::Path, Net::SSLeay, Time::HiRes, Time::Local, Time::Piece
  - lib, open
 Packages:
  - openssl - Cryptography library with TLS implementation
  - shared-mime-info - Shared MIME information database
  - tar gzip unzip - File compression and packaging utilities

Use your web browser to go to the following URL and login
with the name and password you entered previously:

  https://dlp.srv.world:20000

Because Usermin uses SSL for encryption only, the certificate
it uses is not signed by one of the recognized CAs such as
Verisign. When you first connect to the Usermin server, your
browser will ask you if you want to accept the certificate
presented, as it does not recognize the CA. Say yes.
