Cistron Webmin on Gentoo

[Darcy (YourLink)]

Good day all,

   I am trying to install Cistron Radius module for Webmin - Has any
one ever got this to work?  What additional details do you need from me?

I have tried installing using add modules from webmin configuration but
it fails.  I select From ftp or http URL  and use
http://superb-east.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/cistronwebmin/cistron.wbm
as the file location and I select Grant access to all Webmin users.
here is what I get

I'm not terribly familiar with Webmin, but I think I might be able to
help you here.  The cistron.wbm file is just a tar archive with the
relevant files inside it.  One of those files, 'module.info', has a line
like this:

os_support=solaris redhat-linux debian-linux slackware-linux (etc)

I suspect that if you added 'gentoo-linux' to that line, tarred it back
up, and installed from that local copy, it would work.  'gentoo-linux'
may not exactly be it; you might be able to find that information in
your Webmin docs.

Note: depending on how cistron was built (I've never seen the gentoo
ebuild for it), you might need also to change some of the values in the
file called 'config'.  The defaults are probably right, though.

If that fails, contacting the developers of the cistron webmin module.
You can find their sourceforge usernames at
