Actually, what Jamie said is correct;  rather than an NS record that
looks like this:

@	IN	NS	ns5.mydomain.com.

or

mydomain.com.	IN	NS	ns5.mydomain.com.

(which create NS records for mydomain.com) what he suggested would
create a record like this:

secondary	IN	NS	ns5.mydomain.com.

(Actually, it appears Webmin fully qualifies the delegated zone:
secondary.mydomain.com.	IN	NS	ns5.mydomain.com.
I'm not certain whether that's good or bad in the long run - it would
cause Weirdness on some of my zones.)

To rephrase this a bit, specific to Webmin:

Create an NS record with "Zone Name" as the zone you want to delegate
(either the partial name secondary, or the fully-qualified
secondary.mydomain.com. [note the trailing dot!]), name server as the
FQDN of the nameserver you want.

Re: [webmin-l] DNS with webmin - Delegating Subdomain?

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

I understand .. that is exactly what my instructions do :-)

Basically, if you have a DNS record like :

secondary.mydomain.com.  IN  NS   ns5.mydomain.com.

Any queries for secondary.mydomain.com will be referred to the
nameserver ns5.mydomain.com.

Mmmh.  Strictly speaking, it stays mounted, but goes dormant or
disconnected.

This SHOULD, IIRC, be entirely hidden from userland.  I see similar
behaviour on a W2K box mounting a number of Samba shares;  after an
indefinite amount of idle time, Windows considers the share inactive in
some way, and shows its icon in My Computer with a red X over it.

I'm not sure it's *possible* to disable the "properly" (AKA stop the
client and/or server from dropping garbage into userland, or considering
a share "disconnected" when it hasn't been explicitly removed), but...

Find out how long it takes for the mount to go to sleep.  Add a cron job
to touch a file or run ls (or something that accesses content on the
mount) set to run at a shorter interval than the sleep time.

NFS is fractionally more stable in this kind of arrangement;  you might
also want to see if you can use NFS instead of CIFS/SMB.

Understood, if I want to deligate mydomain.com... however I want to
deligate secondary.mydomain.com to ns5.mydomain.com.. that is .. I am
not deligating mydomain.com to ns5, but rather secondary.mydomain.com
to ns5.

[webmin-l] Samba question - keeping the mount mounted

[Steve C. <cam...@cn...>]

I have looked through as much Samba literature as I can find, but cannot 
seem to find out why a mount that I have created using webmin from a RH EL 3 
box to a Buffalo Terrabyte NAS server does not stay mounted. It needs to be 
woken up, which it does on it's own whenever queried, but I have some 
applications that fail if it isn't available immediately when it looks for 
the mount. The NAS is a Windows box. All works well using the resultant 
mount when it is awake.

I realize this is OT for this list, but hope someone has run into this 
before. I can usually use a command before running the apps in a shell file, 
and it only needs to be something as simple as 'df' to wake it up, but on 
long running jobs, such as backups that create temp files before writing, it 
may go back to sleep before it can be re-awakened.

I see in my log files the following entries that are associated with the 
wakeup.

tdb/tdbutil.c:tdb_log(725)  tdb(/var/cache/samba/gencache.tdb): tdb_lock 
failed on list 62 ltype=0 (Bad file descriptor)

But I have not been able to nail it down even with this information


Thanks for any help.

Not currently, although that isn't a bad idea for the future.

Re: [webmin-l] problem with time server

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

Actually, I was wrong about that message - it comes from Webmin
itself. If ntpdate isn't installed, Webmin falls back to using the old
Unix 'time' protocol, and it looks like the server you were talking to
is reporting a bad time using that protocol (which Webmin properly 
rejects).

(perhaps Webmin can check for it running and WARN on the VM-screen)

99% of the time when I see this, the cause is the nscd daemon, which caches
users and groups and confuses Webmin. Use the Bootup and Shutdown module
to kill it and stop it from being started at boot time! Then use the Users
and Groups module to manually remove these test groups..

Re: [webmin-l] problem with time server

[<and...@fr...>]

OK.....
You were right.. the problem was ntpdate...

It was not installed at all !!!

Now I installed the package xntp (4.2.0a on suse 10.1)  providing ntpdate
and everything is OK, both from commandline and from webmin

Anyway I think the message should be : "Hey !! where is ntpdate ? I can't

That error actually comes from the ntpdate program which Webmin calls to
do the sync. Do you get the same message if you run :

ntpdate -s remote.server.hostname

as root at the shell prompt? If so, does it happen even for other
time servers, like time.nist.gov or time.deakin.edu.au ?

Re: [webmin-l] [1.300] Virtualmin; putting it all together

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

99% of the time when I see this, the cause is the nscd daemon, which caches
users and groups and confuses Webmin. Use the Bootup and Shutdown module
to kill it and stop it from being started at boot time! Then use the Users
and Groups module to manually remove these test groups..

Re: [webmin-l] Webmin module cannot be installed or managed

Re: [webmin-l] Postfix module and the Webmin Actions Log

[Dave I. <dav...@en...>]

My current plan is to modify miniserv.pl to change the 7 days to be 30
minutes (our session timeout).  This will ensure that after the session
times out, the script is run and the session deleted from the %sessiondb
hash.  Since the session is deleted, I don't think that there is any danger
of the logout_script running more than once.
 
Does this sound correct?
 
Thanks

This is actually possible, via an un-documented option. Just edit the file
/etc/webmin/miniserv.conf and add the line :

logout_script=/path/to/some/script.pl

And then restart Webmin with /etc/webmin/restart . This will be run when a
user logs out or times out, with the username, session ID, remote IP and
local IP as parameters.
There is also a matching login_script parameter, but it doesn't sound like
you need that.

This is an issue because a customer of ours requires that changes to the
Postfix configuration be auditable.  We can roll our own change-auditing
process, but it would be nice if Webmin was doing it for us.

No that's the weird thing. I don't have any LOFS or NFS mounts in this zone.
It is a whole root system.

That would certainly explain it ..

You could do this already by putting

at the end of the command.

This already happens though - at least for Webmin 1.300.

Re: [webmin-l] Postfix module and the Webmin Actions Log

[Dave I. <dav...@en...>]

I just stumbled upon this while spelunking through the code.
 
However, I do not see the logout_script being called immediately after a
timeout.  Instead I see it being called (around line 499) when removing
sessions that are over 7 *days* old.  That 7 days appears to be hard-coded
in miniserv.pl.  
 
The only other call to logout_script I see occurs when the user explicitly
click the Logout link.
 
I am running 1.290, in case that makes a difference.
 
Thanks
 
Dave I

This is actually possible, via an un-documented option. Just edit the file
/etc/webmin/miniserv.conf and add the line :

logout_script=/path/to/some/script.pl

And then restart Webmin with /etc/webmin/restart . This will be run when a
user logs out or times out, with the username, session ID, remote IP and
local IP as parameters.
There is also a matching login_script parameter, but it doesn't sound like
you need that.

This is an issue because a customer of ours requires that changes to the
Postfix configuration be auditable.  We can roll our own change-auditing
process, but it would be nice if Webmin was doing it for us.

That is (unfortunately) correct .. however, now that you have pointed it

Re: [webmin-l] problem with time server

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

That error actually comes from the ntpdate program which Webmin calls to
do the sync. Do you get the same message if you run :

ntpdate -s remote.server.hostname

as root at the shell prompt? If so, does it happen even for other
time servers, like time.nist.gov or time.deakin.edu.au ?

Re: [webmin-l] Webmin module cannot be installed or managed

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

Is the Webmin root directory for the server in this zone NFS or loopback mounted from outside? If so, you cannot install modules .. they must instead of installed into Webmin on the 'real' system.<br /><br />=A0- Jamie<br /><br />On 30/Oct/2006 09:00 Morris Hooten - SLS Business Infrastructure wrote ..

Re: [webmin-l] Postfix module and the Webmin Actions Log

[Dave I. <dav...@en...>]

Thanks!  That's great!  Looking forward to it.
 
Unfortunately, our customer want to take this an extra step.  They have in
mind some sort of config audit process that will be kicked off whenever a
webmin user logs out or a webmin session times out.  Kicking off a process
when logging out of webmin seems straightforward enough.  It's the kicking
off a process when timing out of webmin that concerns me.  If have no idea
how to achieve this.  Any suggestions?
 
Thanks
 
Dave I

This is an issue because a customer of ours requires that changes to the
Postfix configuration be auditable.  We can roll our own change-auditing
process, but it would be nice if Webmin was doing it for us.

Thanks

That is (unfortunately) correct .. however, now that you have pointed it
out, I do plan to add logging in the next Webmin release.

[webmin-l] Webmin module cannot be installed or managed

[Morris H. - S. B. I. <Mor...@Su...>]

I have *Webmin 1.3* running in a non-sparse zone and can't get past this 
error when trying to adda module.

I have webmin running in other zones fine without this issue.

I can't find a solution in the mail archives either.
Any hints? Can I get around this?


Webmin module cannot be installed or managed when the Webmin code is 
shared with another system, such as when it is running inside a Zone or 
mounted via NFS.

Re: [webmin-l] [1.300] Virtualmin; putting it all together

[Joaquim H. <jo...@we...>]

If I tell it to use the group "customer" for mailboxusers, I get this error=
 message instead (and much sooner):

"Failed to create virtual server : A unix user called test8 or group called=
 customer already exists"

What am I doing wrong?

Keep in mind, I don't want to create anything for mail, could it be that WM=
/VM somehow is trying to do something with a mail configuration that isn't =
there.. ? I've set the "Mailbox and alias configuration enabled?" option to=
 "No".

Of course, if I don't let it create a Unix user, I cannot get AWstats worki=
ng properly (and so WM claims when I try).

I've checked the webmin log, and nothing is written to it at all when VM fa=
ils.

It has come as far as figuring out which uid to use; the website is created=
 and the owner uid is the one that would be the next available in the passw=
d file. It has also created the group, called test6.test.domain.se. It is t=
he (group) owner of the newly created directory structure under /srv/www/te=
st6.test.domain.se

The site does not show up in the virtualmin server list.

This setting "Default Unix group for domain owners" in the VM module config=
uration is set to the group "customers", but that doesn't seem to matter, i=
t creates a new group anyway.  The setting "Format for usernames that inclu=
de domain" is set to "username-domain".

No awstats reporting is created when it fails, so it hasn't gotten to that =
at least.

I leave the "Administration username" to blank (automatic) when trying to c=
reate the VS.

Other options enabled are "Create Unix user?", "Setup website for domain?",=
 "Setup log file rotation?", "Create Webmin login?", and "Enable AWstats re=
porting?"
