There is actually way to do this without needing to make any code changes
at all :-) On the main page of the BIND module, click on Module Config and
change the 'Format for the name of forward zone files' to 'pri.ZONE'.

This is actually possible as well.. You need to install webmin on the slave
server, and then add it in the Webmin Servers Index module on the master
server, with the admin or root username and password specified. Then when
creating a master zone, you'll have the option to add it as slave to the slave
server as well. There is even a Module Config page option to set the default
server for this option, and a button on the main page to apply changes on
the slave server as well.

[webmin-devel] a question of customization

[Luke W. <lu...@ad...>]

I have a question regarding changing some of the DNS module in webmin.

when you create a new master zone, and leave the option "Records file" as 
automatic, it makes a file called "zonename.hosts" in the default directory 
specified in the named.conf.  I have been asked to change this to the naming 
convention we use here in our office "pri.zonename".

I have found it to be quite difficult as I am not much of a perl programmer, 
but have hacked a few things together in the past.

Now I found what I am guessing is the line in question in create_master.cgi, 
so I changed it from:

$in{'file'} = $base."/$in{'zone'}.hosts";

to:

$in{'file'} = $base."/pri.$in{'zone'}";

and:
$in{'file'} = $base."/pri.'$in{'zone'}'";

and have NFI - it still uses the filename "zonename.hosts" - I would have at 
least expected an error......

Also I have been asked to setup our DNS so that when someone enters in the 
master information on one server, it automatically creates the entries on the 
backup server, without having to do any more "clicking".  Any ideas about how 
to do this?

At the moment I have to go into the backup server and change the named.conf 
file to add in the requested entry :)

Thankyou,

Luke

After doing some more testing, I have found the cause of this problem -
it is not in the Cron module itself (as I first thought), but in the way
the Webalizer module interfaces with it. Updates to fix the problem have
been posted at http://www.webmin.com/updates.html .

Thanks for pointing this out!

Re: [webmin-devel] webmin acls

[Hugo C. <hug...@ya...>]

Yes, indeed.  The redirect uses the ENV variables to
construct a redirect.  But for me it is a surprise
that  the values of these variables are set by apache,
not by webmin (I am using apache as proxy to webmin). 
Still have to figure out a solution.

A module only needs a defaultacl file if it allows webmin users to be
given different levels of access to the module. This is covered in
http://www.webmin.com/modules.html#acls . The defaultacl file defines
the default full permissions for users who haven't had any explicitly
set.

Do you mean your browser is trying to access the host 'sems', because
webmin has re-directed it to that host?

[webmin-devel] webmin acls

[Hugo C. <hug...@ya...>]

Hi,


I have two questions :

1. In /usr/libexec/webmin, many subdirectories have a
file called 'defaultacl'.  The purpose is
(superficially) clear.  What is not fully clear to me,
is how miniserv.pl deals with them.  I have added a
few modules in a new directory.  Should this directory
have a 'defaultacl' file and what should be its
contents ?

2. I have a system, with name 'sems' (in /etc/hosts). 
This name is not public, the public name is nfshco3. 
So I log into webmin on another machine via the URL
'http://nfshco3/webmin/'.  Browsing the webmin
hierarchy is ok.  I go to network->host
addresses->edit host address.  Do some changes, apply.
 Now webmin tries to identify the host sems' and
fails, allthough I logged in via the name 'nfshco3'. 
The changes are correctly applied to /etc/hosts.  Is
it possible to change this ?


Hugo

What happens if you run  crontab -e  at some user and add a cron job 
like :

@hourly	ls -l >/dev/null

Does it accept the cron job, or complain that the new line is not valid?

That does explain quite a lot actually.. When you select the new 'Run 
on selected schedule' option, Webmin uses a special schedule format in 
  the crontab file like @hourly or @monthly, which is only supported 
by Vixie-cron. However, your system doesn't seem to be using 
Vixie-cron, and so is choking on that schedule format .. And clearly 
the module needs to handle this kind of failure better, instead of 
letting cron go into an infinite loop!

Which Linux distribution are you running there? I had assumed that all 
  Linux variants came with Vixie-cron, except Trustix.

This is a bug in Usermin - the 0x at the start of the entered key ID 
causes it not to be found when the key list is searched after the 
import has completed, causing Usermin to assume that the import 
failed. Easy to fix though ..

I don't know anything about the webalizer module, so
perhaps my answer is a bit naive : what I always do if
a process seems to hang, is to use strace to attach to
the process.

e.g. if index.cgi (PID==12) seems to hang, strace -p
12.  Perhaps using the '-s' option can be usefull to
read pending error messages in a process buffer.  Of
course this works only if you own the processes ie. if
you are root in this case.

[webmin-devel] [Webmin] Webalizer hangs

[Martin M. <mar...@de...>]

Howdy folks,

I am just on another VirtualMin-Session and am trying to activate some
Webalizer-Statistics.

When it goes to enhance a report to use "Custom options" Webmin hangs
on this ...

>/usr/bin/perl /usr/libexec/webmin/miniserv.pl /etc/webmin/miniserv.conf
>\_ /usr/libexec/webmin/webalizer/save_log.cgi
> \_ sh -c crontab -u root -e >/dev/null 2>/dev/null
>  \_ crontab -u root -e

Nothing happens ...

Webmin does not freeze but it seems there is nothing coming back from
the system.

I restarted Webmin and killed the lost processes for root.

>sh -c crontab -u root -e >/dev/null 2>/dev/null
> \_ crontab -u root -e

Then I logged back to Webmin and reinstalled the Webalizer-Module.

No success ...

>/usr/bin/perl /usr/libexec/webmin/miniserv.pl /etc/webmin/miniserv.conf
>\_ /usr/libexec/webmin/webalizer/save_log.cgi
> \_ sh -c crontab -u root -e >/dev/null 2>/dev/null
>  \_ crontab -u root -e

What I actually did was using the line

	"Run on selected schedule .."

as well which is new because it looks "english" in a "german"
environment ;-)

I reached out to insert the values "manually" in webmin, which works
fine and in addition to this I could make "Custom options" work as
well.

So actually I think there is something wron in the save_log.cgi when
it comes to "Run on selected schedule ..".

If there is anything I could try again for a more debugging output,
please let me know.



kind regards

Thanks for the info. However, I've decided to have webmin always set
ONPARENT for virtual interfaces, regardless of the OS. Older versions of
redhat will just ignore it, so there is no harm done..

And when it comes to detecting if a virtual interface will be brought up
at boot time, webmin will use ONPARENT if it exists, or ONBOOT
otherwise. Again, this should work for both old a new versions of Redhat
and Mandrake.

--ignoreos may tell RPM to ignore the OS, but usermin's install script
will still check for it. Due to the differences between various
operating systems and distros, webmin and usermin MUST work out the OS
when being installed ..

As MDK is RH-based on MDK 9.1 ONPARENT is needed as well.
Just tested it.

[webmin-devel] [Usermin] Mandrake 9.1

Howdy folks,

I am on the RH 9/MDK 9.1 thing with ONPARENT.

During this I installed Usermin with the following output ...

If I recall correctly "--ignoreos" should, well, ignore the
OS-Detection, right?

It does here. If more info is needed, just point me to the right
things.

Hold on, if possible, as I am just installing a VMWare-Installation

Mandrake 9.1 seems also to use ONPARENT. I just downloaded the 
initscripts-7.06-11mdk.i586.rpm and looked at 
./etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup-aliases:

$>grep ONPARENT ./etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup-aliases
        [ "$ONPARENT" != "no" -a "$ONPARENT" != "NO" ] && new_interface;
        [ "$ONPARENT" != "no" -a "$ONPARENT" != "NO" ] && new_interface;

Unfortunately we have no Mandrake box in the office, so I can not make a 
real test.

Thanks for that patch - I will fix webmin in the next release to set
ONPARENT for redhat versions 9 and above. Do you know if any other
recent distributions (like Mandrake 9.1) have also incorporated the same
change?

[webmin-devel] redhat 9 virtual network interfaces

[Thomas W. <t....@sc...>]

Hello,

I think there is a little bug in the network module for redhat?

Redhat 9:
To activate or deactivate virtual interfaces at boot time, RH uses the
variable ONPARENT and not on ONBOOT (ONBOOT is used only for "real" 
interfaces).

Redhat <9:
"Virtual interfaces such as ifcfg-eth0:1 didn't honor ONBOOT=no, they
were always brought up with parent interface." (www.gurulabs.com)

Have a look at /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup-aliases and
http://www.gurulabs.com/RedHatLinux9-review.html.

I tried to fix it for RH-9. (For RH < 9 can_edit has also to be fixed?)
Perhaps the patch is useful for others too.

Its the domain's total quota for webspace and for mailboxes.

No, its the amount of space used up by the domain's webspace and 
mailboxes.
