Hi Jamie, the DHCP servers can have a different configuration, the suggestion of connecting via SSh is because we have around 23 DHCP servers to mantain and install webmin in all of them can be tedious if I'm not wrong. Anyway, in the case we decide to create a webmin cluster in all of them, could we list all the DHCP leases from a single centralized page? I also woud like to show the samba Windows Users logged using that machine-IP(analizing the samba log file) so it could be a powerful monitoring centralized page. Resuming: We would like to create a page like this: Centralized DHCP Leases: - Localhost: IP, MAC , Samba User, HostName, Active, Lease duration -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 192.168.0.2 , ff:ff:ff:ff:ff , sandra samba-laptop YES 1day (Remove Lease) (Make static) etc -Branch1 (10.1.5.1) IP, MAC , Samba User, HostName, Active, Lease duration -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 192.168.3.1 , ff:ff:ff:ff:ee , peter peter-desktop YES 4hours (Remove Lease) (Make static) etc. I hope you understand my idea.

Hello Jamie,
Currently the DHCP leases funciton of Webmin works locally with the
dchp.leases file and the dhcpd.conf (for configuration and static hosts),
could our local Webmin server connect internally via ssh to other linux
servers to read and modify these files in order to be able to list and
configure their DHCP?
These could be done in 2 ways:
1 - Using a webmin cluster:
- Advantage: No need to store their passwords(in case that we share the
same user/password in all the cluster)
- Disadvantage: We need to install webmin in all the other remote DHCP
servers.
2 -Connect to the remote DHCP servers via SSH:
- Advantage: No need to install webmin on them.
- Note(to Confirm): If we create an root user in the remote DHCP servers
with the same password than our current webmin administrator, then we don't
need to store passwords in our Webmin.
That's the reason I would sugest the 2nd way. Let me know your feedback
about it.
By the way, is there any already implemented webmin module that connects
internally trought ssh to another sever(no webmin) to view or modify any
configuration?
Best Regards.
Ivan.

Hi everybody, is it possible centralize the crontab management and DHCP leases for many servers using only one Webmin server? Does the cluster allow to do this? Do we need to install Webmin in all the remote servers or webmin will connect internally trought SSH and manage Cron and DHCP? If it's not implemented, can you give us an example of something similar already done in Webmin? Best Regards. Ivan. |

Yes... As I understand the leasfile manpage there's always a new entry for every action the client sends. So if the client extends its lease it adds a new entry: 192.168.1.191 wave-master 2008/03/04 20:27:22 2008/03/04 21:57:22 192.168.1.191 wave-master 2008/03/04 21:12:22 2008/03/04 22:42:22 I've got a leastime of 1 1/2h, so i got these 2 entrys for the extension...

That is actually what is supposed to happen - only entries for which the end time has not already passed should be displayed. Does your leases file contain more than one lease that is valid for the current time for each host? - Jamie |

Hi I was always wondering why i got multiple entrys for a single host, when i list the active Leses. As i read in the man page of the leases file, an additional entry is addet when a host renews or aqquires an Adress. Wouldn't it be possible to just show ONE entry for every Host ?

Sure, you could have your module manage a file in /etc/usermin/yourmodulename. This directory is available in the $module_config_directory global variable. As long as the module doesn't call &switch_to_remote_user(); , all code will still run as root and will have write access to that file. - Jamie |

Hi, is there a good way to have a global data file for a usermin module? In other words, certain actions in a usermin module should add/delete a line to a single file regardless of user. The global file will be processed by a single cron job later. One option obviously is to have a globally writeable file, but this seems like a bad solution. I could maybe use the global webmin log, but the goal is to have the file processed by a root cron job and it would be really expensive to parse the whole webmin log every time. Maybe webmin could have per-module logging? Still the cronjob would have to delete any stale entries in the log to avoid things getting out of control, that seems sort of ugly. Any better ideas? |

And I should be sending you patches for the exim support, as well as few other small things in the next day or two. The one that comes to mind is a patch to allow ldap passwords to be encrypted via SSHA. The exim support is coming along. Its detecting exim, can tell if its running, start and stop it, and list the aliases.

Ok, that would explain it - if the mailbox's home directory is not under the domain's home, it will not be counted. I will fix this in the next Virtualmin release, by falling back to using the GID for determining the domain. - Jamie |

Hi Bill, The 3.53 version of Virtualmin changed the way users were counted, as the old method was rather slow - it involved a call to list_domain_users for each domain, which collected a lot more information than was needed. But it is a bug if they don't return the same counts. What kind of directory structure are you using for your users there? - Jamie |

I think there may be a bug in Virtualmin 3.53 (GPL). We have 3.46 (GPL) running on one box and it correctly reports domain user counts on virtual-server/index.cgi. The 3.53 installation reports much lower numbers. Checking out the code, it looks like the new version calls &count_domain_users() to get the counts whereas the old version uses the length of &list_domain_users(domain). I'm not 100% sure what causes the erroneous results, but it looks like &count_domain_users expects the home directories to be in a predetermined structure which ours I think don't match. Any thoughts? For now I've changed it use the old method for counting users. |

The best way to submit the code for this is :
1) Download the latest Virtualmin, version 3.53
2) Make a copy of the source
3) Make your code changes
4) Send me a diff file between the original source and your
new version.
That way I can easily integrate it.

Ok, I'm going to take a crack at that tonight. And I just did some
research on exim virtual domains, and it turns the way we did it is
pretty standard. We have per domain alias files in /etc/exim4/aliases,
some call the directory virtual, some virtualhosts. But other the name
of the directory everything seems to be pretty much the same.
And I already have code to everything below, its mostly a matter of
integrating it into the right places. And the fact that used my own
perl module to manipulate the aliases file. I might need to remove the
reference to it. Though you're quite welcome to have it.
How should I go about this? I assume I should work against the latest
code in cvs (or whatever you use). And sent you diffs?

Hi John,
My suggestion would be to make the paths to exim that Virtualmin uses
configurable (via the Module Config page), and to default them to whatever
a standard Exim install from source uses. Then you can set them to match
your site, and the defaults should work for everyone else.
The basic level of Exim support that Virtualmin would need is :
1) Ability to create, delete and rename mail domains.
2) Ability to associate Unix users with Exim virtusers, so that
email to fo...@ba... goes to the user foo.bar
3) Mail alias management
If you get this much working, I could probably implement the rest.

Jamie,
You may remember that I suggested moving to a modular approach in the
past, and asked about adding exim support. Small world? Well, sort of,
Bill works for me. I *might* attempt to graft in support for exim.
There are a couple of caveats though. The first being that I'm not
quite sure what the standard exim setup is, but I'm quite sure my config
isn't it. I'm not necessarily against moving towards something more
standard though (as long as doesn't cause me a lot of pain). The second
caveats is that I'm unlikely to do a complete job of it. For the most
part, all we really need is for the virtual aliases to be maintained.
And the accounts to be added/removed. Right now we are running a hacked
system with postfix on the box runs virtualmin, but I added code to get
my exim aliases written to a place where the real mail servers will get
them (cfengine does the actually distribution).
My real goal, in the end, is to not be running a hacked version, but to
get what we need into the standard distribution. So I guess my real
question boils down to exactly what constitutes exim support that'll
make its way into the standard distribution?
Btw, my hacked version just added few apis to our own virtualmin module
and hacked into the mail feature file to call out to them. Its a weak
start on generic support.
Thanks,
John

Thanks for the patch!

Not too hard, assuming that it supports the same concepts the other
mail servers, like virtusers and aliases, and that it's aliases can run
programs and deliver to mail files. The only hard part is that the code
which deals with mail servers in scattered throughout Virtualmin - basically,
any place you see references to $config{'mail_system'}

What I should really do is allow plugins to implement a new mail server type,
just as how they can currently create a new database type. But I'm not sure if
this would be worth it, as it would require major changes to the Virtualmin core ..
and there aren't really that many different mail servers out there :-)

Hi, currently we have virtualmin installed on a machine that should be running exim for mail. Since exim is not supported by virtualmin we also have postfix running but with hooks to inform exim when changes (to alias files, etc.) need to be made. Two questions: 1) How hard do you think it would be for us to add exim support to virtualmin? 2) Failing that, how hard would it be to add a sort of generic mail server option? The generic mail server could make calls to an external plugin which could be different for various types of mail servers. Seems like it might be a bit simpler since we already sort of have this for exim (although it's very ugly). Any thoughts? |

Hi everyone, I was playing with the bacula-backup module (and bacule by the way) and I found what's look like a bug. Actually, it was impossible to see the completed jobs in the "Director Status", "Storage Status" and "Client Status" pages. So I took a little bit of patience, and I corrected the regexp of this modules concerning completed jobs. Unfortunatly, I wasn't able to test it on something else than a CentOS 5.1/Webmin 1.40/Bacula 2.03 (EPEL Version actually). Hope this can help... P.S. : excuse my eventual typo, I'm learning Dvorak french keyboard since last week :) -- Clément Véret |
