[webmin-l] Cluster DNS

[Grant P. <gp...@th...>]

Hi all,

I have spent a lot of time getting the Bind8 DNS modules to work =
(cluster) on my master and slave server.

THe only question (I think!) that I have now is:

When I add/update/delete a zone on the master server, how to configure =
the master to tell the slave to reconfig or reload the zone?

(The slave named.conf is being updated, but the changes are not being =
made active automaticaly).

Yes, I have run Webmin on Ubuntu myself..
You can check which users get granted access to new modules by going to the
Webmin Configuration page, clicking on Upgrade Webmin, and seeing what usernames
are in the 'New module grants' field. The root user should be listed..

[webmin-l] Unneeded 'change' button in virtualmin module?

[Munzir T. ( ) <mun...@gm...>]

Hi Jamie,
On Virtualmin's Server Templates, if I choose any template and changed the
'Edit template section:' option, the page refresh automatically so there is no 
need for that 'change' button to the right of the option, am I wrong?

Excellent! I didn't realize the rest of Usermin was included in the 
backup already and didn't realize I had hit upon the only item that 
wasn't. Funny!

Thanks for clearing this up for me. I'll have to look at perhaps doing 
Squirrelmail through the interface.. or just continue to do a second 
little rsync on those few config files. It really no big deal there. I'm 
trying to not have crap strewn all over the place and highly 
'specialized', where I'll forget it in three or four years when the next 
time to move a particular hosting account comes along.

And again, thanks for making my life much easier with the Webmin/Usermin 
interfaces.

Best,
John Hinton

Yeah, that isn't going to be included in the Virtualmin backup
any time soon. If you were running Squirrelmail installed into
a virtual server's directory then it would be backed up, but
programs that store their data elsewhere are tough to handle..

Usermin generally stores everything in users' ~/.usermin directories,
which will get included in Virtualmin backups. These cron jobs for
scheduled emails were an exception, but that is the only one I
can think of..

For arbitrary files like this, I would recommend just using the Filesystem
Backup module. Virtualmin backups are generally on a per-domain basis, and
a global Squirrelmail config doesn't fit into any domain.

/var/lib/squirrelmail/prefs

For any particular user, in that directory there are:

<username>.pref
<username>.abook
<username>.sig (if a signature file has been created)

files. That's all I see on my system, but there might be more depending 
on other modules. <username>.* should get all files for any particular user.

is the default path on RHEL systems.

As for the scheduled emails...

I don't allow my users access to most of Usermin, only a few minor 
functions.. most of mail, mysql, disk quotas and Sys Docs. I must admit 
that I haven't used very much within Usermin and don't know offhand if 
more 'customization' is available in other modules within that interface 
but I suspect there are. I wonder if perhaps even the Usermin data in 
the Usermin directory should be considered if you are thinking of adding 
this type of function?

Some global thinking might be in order here, at least for sure with 
regards to Usermin. As for Squirrelmail.. well, I would frankly 
understand if you just turned your nose up at that request as it is so 
far removed from Virtualmin and what you do. Also, due the the number of 
other Webmail interfaces available on the varying OSs. But it sure would 
be nice.

I think the proper solution would be to update Virtualmin to include
all that missing data. For scheduled emails, I need to include mailbox users'
cron jobs, which isn't too hard. For squirrelmail I'm not sure ... do you
know where on the filesystem they get saved?

[webmin-l] Backups for Transferring

[John H. <web...@ew...>]

Jamie,

So far I've been really successful with doing backups using the backup 
function built into Virtualmin. I use this for moving accounts from one 
server to another, for instance at the point where an old box is being 
retired or whatever.

For me, on CentOS, this leaves a couple of items which need to be done 
by hand... outside of Virtualmin control. One, is our default 
installation of SquirrelMail. Address books and other user customized 
functions get left behind. Also, the same for Usermin. Some things like 
for instance scheduled emails are left on the old server.

It would be nice to be able to catch these couple of items in the backup 
and perhaps something else depending on what other folks might be using.

Do you have any ideas about how these types of things might be included 
into that backup system? What you have already created is SO wonderful 
for this type of maintenance... getting the offbeat items like mysql DBs 
as well as the all the email settings... it really is sweet and such a 
huge timesaver.

Thanks,
John Hinton

Can you run the command :

as root at the shell prompt? Or does it fail with that same error about mysql?

Try going to the Webmin Users module, clicking on the root user, and 
selecting 'Virtualmin Virtual Servers' in the module list .. then clicking
Save. Normally this will happen automatically when you install a new module - not
sure why it didn't for you.

[webmin-l] Virtualmin and Postfix problem

[doug r. <do...@ar...>]

I'm having a problem relating to postfix when I add a new virtual server =
in
virtualmin. I've added 10 or so virtual servers and everything has been
fine. The trying to add another I get an error:

----------
Creating home directory ..
. done

Creating Unix group campbell ..
. done

Creating Unix user campbell ..
. done

Failed to create virtual server : Filename contains invalid characters
----------

The step after "Creating Unix user" is the Postfix configuration for the
domain. This is where the problem occurs. The domain, username and passwo=
rd
for the virtual server I was tring to add contained only alphanumeric
characters (the domain & username contained only letters; the password ha=
d
letters and digits).

After this error, Webmin seems to have 'lost contact' with the Postfix
configuration. If I go to the Postfix module and select 'General options'=
,
every field is filled with "/usr/sbin/postconf:
/usr/lib/mysql/libmysqlclient.so.14: no version information available
(required by /usr/sbin/postconf)". See it here:
<http://www.labradordata.ca/misc/postfixmess.gif>. I'm not using mysql fo=
r
Postfix (I'm using hash).

Meanwhile, Postfix itself seems fine; mail is delivered as usual.

There is nothing in /var/webmin/miniserv.error to give a clue what happen=
ed.

This is the second time in a few days this has occurred. I'm at a loss to
understand what's happening. Last time I resorted to uninstalling Postfix
and reinstalling, after which everything was OK (until now).

Any ideas, anyone?

Running CentOS 4, Webmin 1.310, Virtualmin 3.30.gpl.

I guess you mean Version 3.30

Thanks for your work and support

[webmin-l] Access denied : User root is not allowed to use the Virtualmin Virtual Servers (GPL) module

[Munzir T. ( ) <mun...@gm...>]

Hi,

I just dpkg -i webmin_1.310_all.deb in my ubuntu edgy system and tried to 
install virtual-server-3.30.gpl.wbm.gz from the "Webmin Modules" page but 
after visiting https://localhost:10000/virtual-server/ I got the error 
message:
Access denied : User root is not allowed to use the Virtualmin Virtual Servers 
(GPL) module

There is an option of:
Grant access only to users and groups :
I tried to set it to root,munzir
and reinstall but still same error, any hint?
Isn't Ubuntu a supported OS? Could this be fixed so it works without tweaking 
or editing files?

Re: [webmin-l] Bind Record Generators. Feature Request instead.

[Jamie C. <jca...@we...>]

Ok, I see what you mean ..
Unfortuantely the generation is done by BIND, so there isn't anything I
can in Webmin to change the meaning of $ or add another special character.

Re: [webmin-l] Bind Record Generators. Feature Request instead.

[Adam K. <fu...@fu...>]

 From what I have seen, it replaces $ with the last octet of the IP from 
the range you specify. What I'm looking for is something different

With the range of 20 through 25, 20 is the 1st IP. So I want $ to be 
replaced with the number 1 when it does the .20 IP. When it creates a 
record for the .21 IP, it would replace $ with the number 2. When it 
creates a record for .22, it would replace $ with the number 3.

If all else fails, I could just stop being picky and deal with how 
Webmin does things currently, but I'm a bit anal retentive.

[Jamie C. <jca...@we...>]

Actually, it already does this .. except that the $ character is used instead
of #.

Re: [webmin-l] Bind Record Generators. Feature Request instead.

[Adam \Fuzzy\ K. <fu...@fu...>]

I'm an idiot. I found it.

Feature request however. Would it be possible to have the record 
generator replace something like the # character with the incremental 
number?

Say I want to generate IP's for a customer from the range:
192.168.1.100 through 192.168.1.200, but I want the hostname to reflect 
the customer name and the IP-nth number relative to their range they 
have been assigned. For example

192.168.1.100 = customercorp-ip01.mydomain.com
192.168.1.101 = customercorp-ip02.mydomain.com
192.168.1.102 = customercorp-ip03.mydomain.com

etc.

Possible?

[webmin-l] Bind Record Generators

[Adam \Fuzzy\ K. <fu...@fu...>]

Forgive my complete ignorance, but I can't find any documentation about 
the Bind Record Generators. Does anyone have any info on this? Is there 
a link some where that I missed?

I just checked the code for this, and I see the cause - Webmin's status monitor
module doesn't handle the case where BIND is running in a chroot directory. I'll
fix that in the next release ..

The work-around is to create a 'Running Process' monitor that looks for a named
process.
