[webmin-l] webmin cluster updates/hanging rpc.cgi

[Pat E. <mai...@pa...>]

hi,

while celebrating my 365th day of uptime ;) i found a lot of  
hanging/waiting rpc.cgi processes from webmin versions removed long, long  
time ago (ie:

# ps ax|grep rpc
18103 ?        S      0:00 /usr/local/webmin-1.270/rpc.cgi

when 1.300 is installed. maybe you should kill them when upgrading.

which reminds me, it is quite hard to cluster-update webmin, because you  
limit this functionality to servers which are interconnected with the  
"fast rpc mode" which seems to be in the end nothing more, as that i need  
to keep up some ports above 10000. now, i'm in the situation, that i  
cannot open more than some 20 ports in the hardware firewall my provider  
offers me and stupidely - i canot open ranges, so i cannot connect my  
webmin servers "fast" in the webmin sense although the speed between them  
is 100mbit. couldn't you make this limitation optional?

regards,

PAT
