Upgrade finished and so far so good. I have tested the ACL setting as you suggested and it seems to be working. AWESOME!! Let me know about the disconnection issue and if I handled it properly. Thanks.

Disregard my last post. I discovered the upgrade got interrupted with a disconnect. Reinstalled a second time. Stil got a disconnect message but this time the V1.973 downloaded properly and the start script had been updated to the new version. I re-started the miniserv and the install seems to have continued. Waiting to see. Have not had a disconnect during an upgrade before. Is this a known issue?

Hi Ilia, I just upgraded my test Webmin server to 1.973. I went to set the ACL on the File Manger module as you instructed. I got an error. I'm not sure why yet. I went to another Webmin with out updating to set the ACL and got this same error. Can you point me in the right direction? Require filemin/acl_security.pl failed : Can't locate File/MimeInfo.pm in @INC (you may need to install the File::MimeInfo module) (@INC contains: ./lib /usr/local/webmin-1.955/filemin /usr/local/webmin-1.955 /usr/opt/perl5/lib/site_perl/5.20.1/aix-thread-multi...

Just to make sure I am understanding you. You are going to look at controlling PATHs for users in the Module >Webmin Users >> userid >> Webmin User access rights >> Permissions for all Modules? If so, that would be wonderful! Will I get a notification of the version it's in? Is there any kind of ETA on which version or how soon that might come into being? Just being anxious. Thank you so much!

So that is out in the AIX OS you're talking about. Right? I don't see that --bind as an option on AIX. Or if that's not the case please correct me. But this is a Tier 0 server so no I will not be allowed to do that type of mount like this on these servers. The powers that be keep a tight rein on these servers. That's why I have to control all directory accesses thru Webmin. So I guess you are saying the answer is no I will no longer be able to control the Webmin user's PATH access thru the Webmin...

Also in order to do your suggestion do I have to upgrade to Webmin 1.970?

Thanks Ilia for the quick response. I did set up a safe user but it only had access the the user's home directory. I am not sure I understand what you mean by "mount bind all needed directories using appropriate permissions to user's home with safe user. " If that can help me with limiting my users to certain directories and being able to do what they need to do I'm all for it. I just don't know how to do that. That I know of. Do you have any documentation that I can look over?

Hi Jamie. I posted screenshots and other info but I still need help with this issue on the perl version of File Manager and the Webmin Users page >Permissions for all modules > Root directory for file chooser & Other directories allowed PATH parameters If you need to talk to me on the phone I am available. Or email me directly at alethad@unch.unc.edu. I am getting anxious to getting this resolved or a better work around if possible. Thanks.
