i successfully installed webmin at non-default port to increase a little bit its security. but somehow, my vps account down and i tried to login on it for couple of times.
then, webmin banned my ip address.
i still have root shell access, how can i remove my ip address from webmin banned ip address list?
thanks.

banned? for how long? running a firewall like configserver? usually a time limit for failed logins. advise... get yourself another local ip 192...
if this not work, you need to tell us your firewall constraints. if no firewall, is webmin ip access control by either ip, name/user, etc.... hard to tell.does the login page come up?

those settings are available in your firewall. maybe in webnin but i think webmin is just set for ip allow/disallow- no time. firewalls do time limits. check.

i did that before submitting my question in the first place, in fact, i'm allowing a group of my ip because my isp give ip address in specific range.
so,
if webmin blocks is not permanent, maybe it's time to think about it and add as feature.
but, most important is the log can be erased or altered by root easily so when root got block for a very bad reason there is still a way to login again via webmin.

webmin>webmin configuration>IP Access Control
webmin>webmin configuration>Authentication
should be no problem
if you are thinking of "access time" like a clock, ideas like that are best handled via firewall. the thing is, you dont want to get too complicated like windose or you can get tied up in needless complexities. KEEP IT SIMPLE. ONLY ALLOW TRUSTED PERSONS ADMIN ACCESS.
usermin is for clients as i recall.

hi,
thanks for replying.
i install webmin for my vps, i also install firewall for it. I connect through dynamic IP so for now the problem is solved.
but, for how long the banned IP saved in webmin database?
because i could get into the same problem again, when my isp give the same IP address.

dwi
