You should be able to use :

%remote_access = &remote_foreign_call($server,"module", "get_module_acl");

However, this doesn't really make a lot of sense, as you will be getting
the remote root user's access hash, which typically grants full access.

How to get a hash reference of the module access list from a remote server??
I tried :
&remote_foreign_require($server,module,module-lib.pl);
$remote_access=&remote_foreign_call($server,"module",get_module_acl();
but it didn't work.

[webmin-devel] Linux Firewall

[hahmed <dim...@gm...>]

Hi,
When I try to apply the configuration indirectly, I mean through the
save file, it didn't work. The iptables config remains unchanged.
Another point, can u plz give me an example for a chain to run. I
didn't figure this out.

Yes I know about that but the problem is that the Linux Firewall
module sets the same configuration to the servers registred in the
servers Index module. Its like the cluster concept. I've modified it
and I'm making some tests.
What I'm trying to get going here is that the security tools installed
in different computers can be administrated seperately or as a member
in a cluster group.
I didn't finnish all what I have in mind (I lost some of my scripts :( ).
Anyway, I'll upload as promised the work to you by next week.
I'm very optimistic about the correlation engine built by my collegue
and maybe can anyone get envolved developping it. Because most of the
correlation engine are commercial, so why not developping ours that
would be under GPL!!

[webmin-devel] [webmin-l] Webmin pre-release version 1.479 and Usermin 1.409 available

[Jamie C. <jca...@we...>]

Hi Webmin users,

I am just about to release Webmin 1.480 and Usermin 1.410, but before I do
I've created two pre-release versions that contain all the features that
will be official release.

You can download them from http://www.webmin.com/devel.html , or check out
the change logs at http://www.webmin.com/changes-1.479.html and 
http://www.webmin.com/uchanges-1.409.html . The biggest changes are improved
translations, BIND module parsing fixes, LVM creation improvements, SMART
3ware and FreeBSD support, Solaris package management updates, and more..

Let me know if you find any problems!

Sounds like a good idea to me! I would be interested to see (and review)
this if it gets implemented ..

Some of this is supported in Webmin already, by the way .. for example,
the Linux Firewall can push it's configuration out to multiple servers.

Hi,
I've been discovering lately the power of Webmin. It helped a lot
configuring my computer. So I decided to try to use webmin to
administrate all the other computers in the LAN but specially security
tools.
The objective is to centralize the administration of security tools
from one single interface.
Through this interface, I should be able to administrate any snort,
iptables, nessus (...) installed on a PC in the LAN, and centralize
their log to one single DataBase Server
and then  be able to correlate their log to identify if there is a
potential attack, a rule is set on the firewall automatically.
(I know that I need to install webmin and the requested modules on the
PCs on the LAN in order to make RPC calls)
For example for administrating netfilter/iptables, first choose the
host recorder in the servers index, second display its iptables-save
file, then modify it's config and last apply the config to this host.
Practically the same thing for snort, nessus and any security tool.
About correlation, my collegue is developping a correlation engine
between snort log and nessus log. Now he is in the phase of making his
correlation engine working in real time.

I'd like to ask u (Jamie Cameron) if u agree with this project idea.

You can't actually do this with Webmin, as the default configuration of Postfix
is determined by the Postfix package, not by Webmin. The alternative is to
write your own script that you run on the new system after installation that
configures Postfix or whatever to the setup you are looking for. 

You could use a script like :

#!/usr/bin/perl

use Webmin::API;
foreign_require("postfix", "postfix-lib.pl");
print postfix::get_current_value("mydestination"),"\n";
postfix::set_current_value("myorigin", "whatever.com");

This makes use of the Webmin::API perl module, which is a simple
wrapper that makes it easy to call Webmin API functions from your
own scripts. To get it, see :
http://www.webmin.com/modules-commandline.html

[webmin-devel] Newbie Question - Default Configuration

[skin d. <ski...@gm...>]

I would first like to thank the developers for creating such a beautiful
application. It has sped up all our work.
This may be an embarrassing question to ask, but I've not been able to find
an answer anywhere else. I would like to install Webmin on multiple systems
and I would like to adjust the default configuration of certain modules so
that I don't need to go and manually update the configuration files in each
of the systems I want to manage with Webmin.

Take for example, the Postfix module.

I have several options that I can change on the general.cgi page. Those
options when changed append the corresponding statements to /etc/postfix/
main.cf

The first option allows me to change the value of the variable $myorigin. I
would like to know how I should make changes to the Postfix module so that
the change I've made now becomes the default for all my other installs. That
is, when I pick up the webmin folder and install it on another computer by
executing setup.sh, I want these settings to be applied automatically.

In simple words, how should I change the default configuration of a module?

Thanks

Webmin uses a custom protocol that is geared towards perl, with
function calls and responses being made over HTTP requests. Unlike
alternatives like XML-RPC, it is stateful .. once an RPC client establishes
a session, a process is kept alive on the remote server that handles
all requests from that client until it dies.

I saw the problem with both the webmin clean theme and the old/default

We are running webmin 1.470 from

http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/webadmin/webmin-1.470-minimal.tar.gz

to which we have a few themes and modules.

We are using

[root@localhost ~]# perl -v

This is perl, v5.8.8 built for x86_64-linux-thread-multi

Running on a stock centos 5.3 system.

We have used two clients:

One is Windows XP with Firefox
One is Ubuntu with Firefox.

Both see the same issue.

A screenshot is attached showing the missing content for tab b.

There is a parameter in index.cgi called $show_bug which can be set to 0 or

When the second set of tabs is last you can return to all the pages from an

This should work - however, make sure you nest your calls to ui_tabs_start /
ui_tabs_start_tab / ui_tabs_end_tab / ui_tabs_end properly. Also, make
sure the two calls to ui_tabs_start use a different name (the 2nd parameter).

THX for the reply. but is it possible to make RPC calls between the
eBox different modules (like Webmin does)?

There is the eBox Platform which is fairly new and Ubuntu-centric at  
the moment:
http://ebox-platform.com/

Unlike Webmin it abstract service management to a higher level.
e.g. Rather than configuring Samba you define your "File Sharing"  
needs and eBox makes the relevant Samba configuration changes.

It is a completely different way of approaching the configuration  
problem that has its pros and cons depending on your environment and  
needs.
