Can't backup Webmin Configuraton files

Running backup gives the following error:

Backup failed : Failed to open /etc/webmin/backup-config/config for writing : Bad file descriptor

Here are find results:

/etc/webmin/xinetd/backup-config /usr/libexec/usermin/blue-theme/backup-config /usr/libexec/usermin/virtual-server-theme/backup-config /usr/libexec/webmin/blue-theme/backup-config /usr/libexec/webmin/virtual-server-theme/backup-config /usr/libexec/webmin/backup-config

Seems that it is pointing to the wrong directory?

Hmm, what does this show:

ls -l /etc/webmin/backup-config/config

"ls -l /etc/webmin/backup-config/config" returns nothing.

The config file exists in /etc/webmin/xinetd/backup-config

Well, webmin seems to have created the directory and config. Ran it again with no error. Nice to see Webmin is self-correcting...kudos
