Where does Webmin stores its passwords?

Question

I am trying to figure out where does Webmin store its passwords on a fedora machine ? Is it stored hashed ? or plain text and where ?

I have tried to search all the system files and Webmin but no luck !

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

Both the other answers are wrong, at least if the question is about the users of webmin itself. Default (Webmin 1.710) is to allow only webmin users to log in to webmin, with root as the initial only existing user, and shadow authentication for root only.

The webmin user database is stored in /etc/webmin/miniserv.users with traditional unix style contents.
