My 2 cents:

Use it over https so all data transmitted is encrypted. Never over http.
You can change the port for it too. It's not as secure as ssh+vi but it
will do.

However I suggest keeping webmin up2date. (in fact, keep the whole system
;-)). Some time ago there was a bad a$$ vulnerability found in it.

Best regards,
Sourian
