Hi Paul,

Thanks for your information :)

I just tried it out on sato image with 'webmin' and 'midori' installed.
1) https://localhost:10000
Cannot connect
2) http://localhost:10000
Login page appeared, but I cannot login even if I provided the correct 
username and password.

I did this test on qemu, but I think the result should have nothing to 
do with qemu.

Best Regards,
