Refer to this post:
http://www.der-keiler.de/Mailing-Lists/securityfocus/bugtraq/2002-08/0403.html

And make sure your rpc value is "0" or if it's "2" then user admin and root will be able to do whatever they want, 
regardless of the permissions assigned (according to the post mentioned above).

grep "rpc" /home/admin/webmin-0.980/defaultacl
