 The full name field is the first area before the first comma. If a program
 doesn't split on the comma then they are doing it wrong. Why should 
 you not do it right based on the fact that some other programs don't do it 
 right?

You would have to change useradmin/save_user.cgi , and add the following
after line 493 :

$ENV{'USERADMIN_SECONDARY'} = join(",", split(/\0/, $in{'sgid'}));

This information actually gets stored in the 'real name' field of the password
file, separated by commas. It is rather non-standard though, and some programs
will display it when displaying a user's real name ... which is why I'm not
sure if it should be a standard feature of webmin.

adding ENV variable - sgid

[Terry D. <td...@bi...>]

When a user is created there are a few environment variables.  I want to assign 
the secondary groups that are selected to environment variables as well.  How 
do I do this?

Re: useradmin finger information

[Nick J. <ni...@na...>]

Excuse me if I am wrong, but chfn puts this info into the password file,
which is what you said you didn't want to do. Finger simply retrieves it.
I don't know why you have a problem with keeping this information in the
password file. Thats where it's meant to be, that were it has been for
ages.

useradmin finger information

[Terry D. <td...@bi...>]

I sent a previous post ( i think ) regarding phone number and that sort of
information in the useradmin module.  I think I was attempting to say finger
information.  chfn on linux will prompt for finger information.  I am going to
hack in support for it myself but this might be a useful addition.  chfn on
redhat has support for:
username
full name
room number
office phone
home phone

slackware is a bit different:
username
full name
room number
work phone
home phone
other

Thank you,

add support for extra useradmin attributes

[Terry D. <td...@bi...>]

I need a few more attributes in the useradmin for use in an external script. 
These would be phone number, department, and a bunch of other user information. 
Where can I add this stuff to the cgi and make the environment variables so Mmy
external script can use them?  I dont want them in the /etc/passwd file of
course.

Thank you!

new fonts

[Brett S. <bsc...@pa...>]

Does anyone know of an existing utility to create gif/jpg/png images out of 
a TTF set?

I really like the way webmin uses individual gifs for spelling out titles 
(I think swingset.net did the same thing), but the font is killing me.

I know I can use perl with GD libs, but I hate reinventing the wheel.

Thanks in advance for your time!

Re: Deb Package for aWebmin

[Alex de L. <ale...@xs...>]

Hey,

Why do things twice? Webmin and a whole lot of modules are in Debian
Sid/Unstable. If you insist on making your own deb's, you should take a
look at debmake and debhelper, as a deb-package doesn't need a Makefile,
AFAIK...

Greetings,
Alex

I played around with this at one point, a basically it was not that easy
and was prone to problems (at least in my hour-long implementation).  If
there is a PHP Perl module I'd recommend starting there, otherwise look
into using the php binary (/usr/bin/php, normally) to "run" the file and
capture the output, redirecting it to the browser...

Cheers,
Ryan

PHP within webmin

Hi all,

although I know it is not within the targets of webmin to integrate any
other parsers except cgi script, has anyone tried and succeeded in using php
pages through the webmin server?

ENV vars with useradmin

[Terry D. <td...@bi...>]

Hello,
I know how to get the values of the variables that are set with the fields in
the useradmin, however, I would like to know when a user is being modified,
deleted, or added.  I am running a script after a user is 'changed' in the
module config.

Thank you for any help.

Webmin + SSI

[Gehrigal - W. <we...@ge...>]

Hi All

Does Webminserver supports SSI ( Server-Side-Includes ) ?

If the server supports SSI:
How can i use it?

If the server do not support that:
Is there a possibility to use webmin with SSI, without using an other
Webserver like Apache ?


Thanks!

Re: Adding a new module

That all looks correct to me.. But does your module have a module.info file?
If not it will not appear in the main menu, even if in the ACL.

Okay, I found the logs.  But the problem still exists.  Didn't
find out anything about that.

Adding a new module

[Bek O. <gos...@te...>]

From the FM we have:
   When you first create a new module, it will not be in the ACL of any
   Webmin user and so you will not be able to see it in the main menu. To
   make your module visible, you must either edit the file
   /etc/webmin/webmin.acl, or use the Webmin Users module to grant
   yourself access.

My module's called ipfw and /etc/webmin/webmin.acl now looks like
this:

admin: [edited]
gossamer: ipfw

But STILL after I restarted the webserver I can't see ipfw under
gossamer's modules.  She shows up with nothing.

Where can I find the darn logs to see what's going on?  Not
through the log viewer, but the ACTUAL logs.

I thought it was config.info but that's for %config apparently
