NagMIN setup help needed

[Skip Montanaro]

I posted this to the NagMIN list yesterday, but haven't heard anything yet
and have a manager itching to try this stuff out, so I'm reposting here on
the outside chance the NagMIN list is on summer vacation.  Any suggestions
would be much appreciated.

-------------------------

After a couple hours of fiddling around getting NagMIN and all it's friends
installed, I am down to this output from the NagMIN setup script:

    #  NagMIN Setup Processing Completed
    #
    #  1 - Now access WebMIN and install the NagMIN plugin
    #  2 - Configure NagMIN Nagios default values clicking Module Config in
    #      WebMIN 
    #  3 - Edit your database tables and run Verification until you get
    #      a clean configuration.  This will create NagMIN configuration
    #      files in 
    #      /usr/local/nagmin/nagios/ directory
    #  4 - Modify your nagios.cfg and cgi.cfg files to replace configuration
    #      file settings with new NagMIN configuration files listed below.
    #      This must be done before you can successfully activate your first
    #      NagMIN configuration.
    #  5 - Run Activate Config.  Check the verification output for any errors.
    #  6 - Remove any unnecessary configuration files from your
    #      /usr/local/nagios/etc directory.

I got fumbled around until I found someplace in WebMIN which allowed me to
install the NagMIN wbm file.  I also stumbled onto the "Module Config" stuff
and scanned that page.

I haven't seen anything in all my bumbling around in WebMIN which suggests
"Verification" or "Activate Config".  At the moment I'm looking at

    https://localhost:9991/nagmin/

Where's that stuff?

On a related note, I think a lot of people will be like myself, coming to
NagMIN from Nagios, not WebMIN.  I think the instructions have to be
tailored more to WebMIN novices than they currently are.

Thanks,
