I discovered the following patch was necessary to get the passdelay feature
working while upgrading to the 1.070 version of webmin. <br>
<br>
The miniserv.pl program was closing the socket on my client browser everytime
I entered a bad password for my test user. I found that the validate_user
method returned 0 which was sent to the parent process in a double-quoted
string <br>
"delay $user $address $ok" which was received as "delay admin ip.addr.ess
". The $ok value of zero of course disappeared when cast to a string.<br>
<br>
I have not tried this option in earlier releases so this problem may have
been around for a while? The history doesn't really concern me but, to bring
an end to my rambling, I'm running webmin 1.070 on a Linux box using an old
build of perl. version 5.005_03 on a Red Hat 6.2 box. That may have something
to do with why it wasn't working for me -- haven't researched that far.<br>
<br>
Here's the patch:<br>
