Re: [webmin-l] Fail to start admin page

[Stephen L. <sa...@ya...>]

Hi Jamie,

Ubuntu-6.06.1-LAMP-server-amd64
> Ah, in that case you want to run /etc/webmin/start to start it.

$ sudo /etc/webmin/start
Password:
Starting Webmin server in /usr/local/webmin
* end *

$ sudo ps -ef | grep webmin
root      5506     1  0 18:55 ?        00:00:00 /usr/bin/perl
/usr/local/webmin/miniserv.pl /etc/webmin/miniserv.conf
satimis   5527  5486  0 18:56 pts/2    00:00:00 grep webmin
* end *

On Firefox evoked "http://localhost:10000/
User login page popup.  Admin page started after login "satimis"

Tks.


Do I still need creating /etc/init.d/webmin script?  If YES, please
advise where can I find its sample?


Besides where can I find appropriate documentation to configure webmin
on Ubuntu LAMP-server.  Googling found me several of them.  

Webmin Installation and Configuration in Debian and Ubuntu Linux
http://www.debianadmin.com/webmin-installation-and-configuration-in-debian-and-ubuntu-linux.html

SquidGuard Configuration Webmin Module
http://www.niemueller.de/webmin/modules/squidguard/

Webmin And Quota configuration in debian

Running Webmin in SSL mode

Configuring BIND with Webmin - RimuHosting

etc.

TIA

Hi Jamie,

$ ls /etc/init.d/ | grep webmin
No print out.  The script is not there.  Where can I find it?

$ sudo find / -name webmin

Hello all,

 

A quick question, how do I enable 'Mod Rewrite' in Apache? Where is this
done in Webmin? We want to use it in .htaccess file for URL rewriting.

 

Thank you for your help.

Virtualmin offers two options - bouncing, and 'throwing away' the message,
which delivers to /dev/null.

Currently, it creates aliases for those addresses pointing to the
domain owner, which is the RFC-specified correct thing to do. But you
can change this in the server template if you like ..

Don't you just love being a Linux sysadmin instead of just the master 
behind Webmin?

OK, duh.. that is right. So, delivery to /dev/null is not so server 
intensive. But, just to be sure, this is a 'bounce' and not a 'reject'?

These days bouncing is a very bad idea which will land you on SpamCop 
blacklist to name just one. And, I really don't want to bounce to 
someone who didn't send the email to start with, which would be the case 
with 99.999% of these emails. BTW, the latest new 'surge' in spamming 
methods is via bouncing (to spoofed email addresses) off some poorly 
setup server.

I'm actually trying to figure out a way to do a reject on this type of 
mail. Yes, root@<servername> needs to work, but 
root@<some_domain_on_that_server> is just bothersome junkmail that I 
would love to reject.

I've been thinking about using your new Virtualmin default email 
addresses to automatically create /dev/null addresses for these 
accounts... but.. I'd really like the real sender to know that these are 
not good addresses as well as just not bother my system with actually 
receiving the junk.

And again thanks for this great system!

If you setup an alias to bounce email, it will be applied before any 
spam filtering. SpamAssassin only gets run on email delivered to local
mailboxes, which won't happen here..

[webmin-l] Email Question

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

Am I right in assuming that if I set an email alias in Virtualmin to 
bounce, that it is in fact a bounce and not a reject? If so, are there 
any suggestions on setting up rejects on particular addresses?

The problem is spammers have started using what up until now were 
'sacred' email addresses. System addresses. Webmaster, root, mail, uucp, 
and on and on. I really would rather reject them instead of allowing 
them to come in, get processed through SpamAssassin (the resource hog) 
in particular before they get dumped to /dev/null.. or worse, wind up in 
my inbox as I do receive webmaster, postmaster, abuse and root. Root 
gets a lot dumped to it.

Best,
John Hinton

Re: [webmin-l] RAZOR2

[Ed K. <ed...@es...>]

AFAIK, it checks an email for certain signatures and then will 
determine spam probability based on the information it's 
receiving.  Hence it must be able to communicate back to you on it's 
findings.  Hence why you need to have the open ports and why you see 
the traffic from its servers.

Not sure what you mean by "hitting your server"  All I know is that 
just like with any service, if you want to be able to communicate 
with the cloudmark servers using razor, you need to open those ports 
on your firewall.

TCP 2702 and 2703 are definitely the ports used by razor.  AFAICT, 
Internap is an ISP and looks like it hosts web services for 
Souuceforge and possibly Razor.

What is the ip?
