Description Kurt Lieber (RETIRED) gentoo-dev

The /etc/init.d/webmin init script needs to add a line:

need logger

Otherwise, if a user does not have a logger installed, they will be unable to
start webmin, getting errors similar to:

m1 root # /etc/init.d/webmin start
 * Starting webmin...
Starting Webmin server in /usr/libexec/webmin
unix dgram connect: No such file or directory at /usr/libexec/webmin/miniserv.pl
line 191
Bad arg length for Socket::pack_sockaddr_in, length is 0, should be 4 at
/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0/i686-linux/Socket.pm line 373.                           [ !! ]

I didn't look at it all that closely, but it seems to have something to do with
the PAM component of webmin.

actually, looking at the init script closer, it needs an entire depend section:

depend() {
        need net logger
}
