If you try to login with cookies disabled, webmin should display an error
message saying that cookies are not working in your browser. It is possible
to configure webmin to not use cookies by removing the session=1 line from
/etc/webmin/miniserv.conf and then re-starting .. this will revert back to
standard HTTP authentication.
