I wouldn't mind hosting this - please email the .wbm.gz file to me directly,
and I'll update the link on the third-party modules site.

[webmin-l] 3rd party module - apcupsd

[Craig W. <cra...@az...>]

It seems as though Eugene Borodin has gotten lost and his web link for
the apcupsd webmin module has been inoperable for quite some time.

I do have a copy of the last downloaded version that I got from his web
site apcupsd-0.81-2.wbm.gz if anyone needs it or wants to host it for
others to download.

Obviously it isn't maintained but it's very functional.

[webmin-l] ADsl with Webmin

[Michael W. <y2...@to...>]

Hi guy just doing some search on webmin website and come accross adls=20
can i setup a small adsl business using webmin.....

[webmin-l] Two more small enhancement requests: alphabetising and cluster link

[Freddie C. <fca...@sd...>]

1.  Would it be possible to order the icons in modules alphabetically, or 
to add an option to do this?  For instance, it always takes me a few 
minutes to find the "Authentication" icon in the Webmin Configuration 
module as it is in the middle of the third column.

The icons for modules are already listed in alphabetical order by title on 
each category page.  It's just the icons inside the modules that are in 
seemingly random order.

Or, if a module is split into sections, to have the icons in each section 
alphabetised.

(I'm a little jaded from having to use IBM's WebSphere Portal at work 
where everything -- drop-down lists, icons, links, user/group lists -- is 
in random order and it takes ages to find/do anything.)


2.  Would it be possible to add a "Webmin Servers" link to the main 
category pages?  This link is visible when in a module, but not when on 
the category pages.  Adds an extra click to return to the Webmin Servers 
Index page.

I have a copy of Webmin running on my local workstation.  The cluster 
modules are configured with 50-odd remote Webmin servers.  When I login 
to the local Webmin, go into the Webmin Servers Index, I can connect to a 
remote server.  When I click on a module on that remote server, I get a 
list of links:  Webmin Servers (takes me back to the local webmin), 
Webmin Index (takes me to the index page of the remote webmin), Module 
Config (takes me to the config page of the module on the remote webmin).

If possibly, having that Webmin Servers link on the main category pages 
would really improve the flow of navigation when using the cluster 
modules and remote webmin.

Keep up the good work, Webmin is an amazing piece of software.

Yes, you can edit files under the /etc/usermin directory.
For example, the file controlling which modules are available
is /etc/usermin/webmin.acl .

But as others have said, this is easier with Webmin.

you could try that, but configuring Usermin through Webmin is easier.
Just install Webmin and configure Webmin not to start automatically but o=

if needed.

Yes .. but perhaps Usermin is trying to use an mbox-format sent mail folder.

You may be better off just configuring Usermin to talk to your IMAP
server, and fetch all folders through that. This can be done in Webmin,
under Usermin Configuration -> Usermin Module Configuration -> Read Mail.

Thanks for your quick response.

I wasn't actually clear about the situation. I'm using IMAP and trying 
to save to the .Sent as individual messages similar to how a mail client 
would. Isn't the lock file only necessary for mbox?

I did try your suggestions, but get the same error message. I feel like 
I'm missing something fundamental.

You should try removing any sentmail.lock file, and trying to send again - most
likely some other process has a lock on that file.

To change where Usermin writes sent mail, click on the Manage Folders button
at the bottom of the mail list, and then on the sent mail folder.

[webmin-l] usermin sent mail

[Caleb F. <cal...@gm...>]

Hi,

I'm using Webmin 1.300 and Usermin 1.190, and I'm having problems 
getting Usermin to save sent mail to the correct location. I keep 
getting this message:

[error]
Sending mail to som...@so... ..

Failed to send mail : Failed to lock file /path/to/my/Maildir/sentmail 
after 5 minutes


Of course, I'm using a valid email address, and the message is received 
by the recipient. So my question is where can I change the configuration 
to save the message to ~/Maildir/.Sent?

BTW I'm using Postfix and Dovecot.

Thanks,
Caleb

It's possible .. the FTP transfer connection could start, but no data would
get transferred. In fact, if that happens intermittantly for the same backup,
I would suspect network issues.

[webmin-l] burner module config needed

[Pat E. <mai...@pa...>]

hello,

could someone please send a working /etc/webmin/burner/config file with  
/dev/hdc or /dev/hdd as devices here?

as written, my burner autodetection stalls at my tape device, so as a  
workaround i would like to use an existing config,

thanks,

PAT
