Ok, though I noticed one reference in virtual-server-lib-funcs.pl to your var. I thought it might be good if virtual-server-lib-funcs.pl didn't have to worry about which dns module did it.

I'd suggest another variable, just in case someone has both a BIND and djbdns domain enabled for the same virtual server (crazy as that sounds :-) Perhaps name is djbdns_submode - Jamie On 08/Aug/2008 13:52 John Gray wrote .. > I see the bind code uses dns_submode to denote this. > > I guess the question is this: Better for the tinydns code to use the > same var, or another one? > > John > > Jamie Cameron wrote: > > On 08/Aug/2008 13:21 John Gray wrote .. > >> Hi Jamie, > >> > >> I took the powerdns module, and used to it from template to setting up > >> module for tinydns.

I see the bind code uses dns_submode to denote this. I guess the question is this: Better for the tinydns code to use the same var, or another one?

Ok, I'll make it publicly available once I have it flushed out. Right now all the config is hard coded, and I think I'll to add some options. And I'll need to add some post mod glue (cmds to make the changes effective). I just realized why I wasn't seeing the sub-domain working that way. The domain I most often use for <somenewsite>.mytestdomain.com isn't actually in virtualmin. duh!

That is a perfectly reasonable approach - in fact, Virtualmin already does this for BIND when you add a sub-domain. You just have to make sure your code keeps track of whether the djbdns domain was added as a real zone or just as entries in an existing zone. The best way is to set some key in the domain hash passed to the feature_setup function, which will be saved and available when feature_modify and feature_delete are called. - Jamie > Sound like a good idea or bad? > > Thanks > John > > Jamie Cameron wrote: > > On 02/Aug/2008 09:36 John Gray wrote .. > >> There doesn't appear to be any tinydns support for virtualmin (or did I > >> overlook it)? > >> > >> With recent events, I think I've had enough of bind. > >> > >> I'm not very concerned with configuring tinydns as much as just the day > >> to day issues of adding/deleting domains/entries.

Hi Jamie, I took the powerdns module, and used to it from template to setting up module for tinydns. I have it working now (though it needs some config work yet). As I was working on it, I came across a big question. Sometimes we add aliases to existing domains to into already existing domain, for instances. we add foo.com, then add an alias for it as foo.bar.com, and bar.com is an existing domain on the server. With that foo.bar.com is added as new domain, instead of entry for foo being added to bar.com. I was toying with the idea of checking to see if a higher-level domain is there, so for example if I am adding a.b.c.d I'd check for b.c.d, then c.d, then d. If I find one of them, then I'd add entries to it, instead of creating a new domain. But I wondered if that would screw up other things? Sound like a good idea or bad?

Hi Webmin users, I am just about to release Webmin 1.430 and Usermin 1.360, 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-1.429.html and http://www.webmin.com/uchanges-1.359.html . The biggest new features are a new contributed TCP wrappers module in Webmin, translation updates, and various BIND module improvements. Let me know if you find any problems! - Jamie |

Hi John, At the moment, there is no support for tinydns or djbdns in Virtualmin. However, it's plugin architecture would make this pretty easy to add - for example, I did one for PowerDNS a while ago that can be used instead of the regular BIND feature. You can get it from : http://www.webmin.com/cgi-bin/search_third.cgi?search=powerdns and check out the source. - Jamie |

There doesn't appear to be any tinydns support for virtualmin (or did I overlook it)? With recent events, I think I've had enough of bind. I'm not very concerned with configuring tinydns as much as just the day to day issues of adding/deleting domains/entries. Tinydns has cmd line utilities for doing all this, so I would imagine it would be fairly easy to write a module to do it. But I don't want to invent the wheel. If nothing exists, I'll create one ala the exim module (basicly just what I need to facilitate adding/deleting/modifing virtual servers in virtualmin). Thanks, John -- John Gray gr...@ag...

Hello all, is there a way to disable the simple virtualmin-autoreply functionality? It's showing up in the "Edit Mail and FTP Users" user-edit in virtualmin and it doesn't work in our setup. Interestingly it writes the file in /home/virtualmin-autoreply with the correct info, but then when the user returns to this form it doesn't read the file so the form is blank. We are using a fairly odd setup so we'd rather just disable this functionality because it would be difficult to coax it to work with our mail forwarding. I can't find any config options to do this, am I just missing something? |

I figured it out.
I was passing the hashes in the wrong order.
I had this:
&modify_user(\%recycleuser, \%user);
but it should be this:
>> &modify_user(\%user, \%recycleuser);
A small over site on my part. Thats for taking the time to look at it.
Now that I have some Webmin coding under my belt I might try some other stuff
like writing a module for Solaris Jumpstart "JET"
Thanks for the help.

Hi Jamie,
One question. If I am resetting the password and I am encrypting it like so:
$pass = &encrypt_password($config{'recycle_passwd'});
$recycleuser{'pass'} = $pass;
and then I am calling modify_user like so
&modify_user(\%recycleuser, \%user);
Is the hash key 'pass' what I should be using to reset the password if
I'm doing the encryption outside of the modify_user function or should
I be using something else?

Yeah it suppose to be replacing a valid user. I made a few changes to
the script since the other day. Basically I removed all the code for
delete the user from other modules "wasn't needed since I'm not
deleting the user". Now it doesn't add that bogus line in the
/etc/passwd and shadow file but it still is not working.
I'll have to keep digging.

I was referring to that ::::: line in /etc/passwd. Is it replacing
some valid user, or just being appended?

I had a look at your code, and it seems reasonable to me..
Is that extra bogus line just being added, or is it replacing some
other user?

Hi Jamie,
Thanks for replying to my post. I still can't figure out whats going
on. I've defined %user hash but to no avail I cannot seem to locate
the issue. I've attached my recycle_users.cgi. If you could briefly
review it that would be great. I also welcome any pointers and
constructive criticism.
Thanks

Hi Todd,
Make sure that in your code, you aren't calling modify_user with an
empty user hash. It looks like that is the case, as this would cause
an 'empty' line like that to be inserted into /etc/passwd.
I'd have to see all your code to comment further though..

Hello,
I am new to webmin module development and am trying to extend the "Users
& Groups" module for internal purposes. What I have done is create a
"Recycle User" button on the selected users "Edit Users" page that
basically mimics the functionality of the delete_user.cgi (without
actually deleting the user) but also extends it by showing me a list of
currently selected user processes running. Once I press the "Recycle
user and home directory button" it goes off and first terminates those
running processes then removes the users home directory then I need to
reset the users password back to some default. I am about 90% of the way
there but seem to be caught up on the saving of the modified password. I
am using the modify_user function. Whats actually happening is that it's
leaving an incomplete line in the /etc/password and shadow file looking
something like this:
svctag:*LK*:6445::::::
nobody:*LK*:6445::::::
noaccess:*LK*:6445::::::
nobody4:*LK*:6445::::::
::::::::
This last line should be the entry that I recycled but it's just a bunch
of empty GECOS fields. So it seems to me that it's rewriting the line
but is doing it with empty values.
So I think I am missing something somewhere but am unsure what other
functions possibly I need to call in order for it to write out the
password file. I'm assuming the modify_user function takes care of that, no?
This does seem like a strange thing to do but would fit nicely into
managing test accounts for may lab machines. When the lab reservation
expires the admin can recycle the user with a press of the button and
set it back to some default settings.
Here's the snippet of code that is suppose to be resetting the password
and saving it.
%recycleuser = %{$ulist[$in{'num'}]};
$pass = &encrypt_password($config{'recycle_passwd'});
$recycleuser{'pass'} = $pass;
# Update user details
&modify_user(\%recycleuser, \%user);
# Run the pre-change command
$merr = &making_changes();
&error(&text('usave_emaking', "<tt>$merr</tt>")) if (defined($merr));
&unlock_user_files();
&made_changes();
So as the code runs the following is displayed in the borwser, The has
info is there for debugging purposes.
Deleting from other modules ..

Killing user processes

Deleting home directory ..

Hi Fran, Webmin is pretty flexible in what it lets you do in your .cgi scripts, although the further you get away from the 'standard' (which I admit is itself non-standard in Perl terms), the harder it can be to call other modules or make use of Webmin's access control systems and API. Some things that are quite safe are using 'use CGI' instead of ReadParse and generating output with HTML::Template. However, if you don't use web-lib.pl in the normal way or skip calling init_config, some features of Webmin won't work, such as module-level access control and checking for links from dangerous referers. Other developers could probably comment better here though, as being the author of Webmin I have always pretty much stuck to my own standards for core and non-core modules :-) - Jamie On 30/May/2008 12:35 Fran Fabrizio wrote .. > > I've just inherited a half-dozen or so custom modules from a team member > who departed.
