Why not just use the post-backup command feature to rename the backup
file (using SSH or something) when it is complete? Having Webmin do it
is tricky, as renames like this would fail if you are writing to a remote
tape device.

The better tools rely entirely on what they find in the various config 
files.

The not-quite-as-good tools keep their own internal database of some 
settings, but will generally keep or at least not overwrite changes made 
outside that tool.

The not-compatible-with-anyone-else tools rely entirely on their own 
internal database, and just write out complete new config files for any 
changes, ignoring any changes made outside of that tool.

Webmin is (fortunately) in the first category.  <g>

[webmin-l] subversion question

[Russ F. <ru...@to...>]

Hi all,
I'm having a bit of a problem with subversion configuration, and  
would appreciate any advice.

Webmin Version 1.300 on CentOS
Linux version 2.6.9-34.0.2.EL (buildcentos@v20z-i386) (gcc version  
3.4.5 20051201 (Red Hat 3.4.5-2)) #1 Fri Jul 7
19:24:57 CDT 2006
Virtualmin SubVersion Repositories (v. 2.7)

In two virtual hosts I have:
Allow SubVersion repositories <checked>

Now I'm expecting under Webmin/Servers to see a Subversion  
Repositories item.

Is this correct, and why might I not see this?

[webmin-l] small wish for the ftp file system backup

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

hi jamie,

in the scheduled backup, everytime a backup is repeated the existing  
backup file is overwritten. this way, there is a (small) time when no  
backup of the system exists. so, is it possible to write the backup  
remotely(!) to a tempfile and to overwrite the existing backup file after  
the verification of the new backup file?

Yeah, that is to be expected unfortunately. The .deb doesn't know that
you are really upgrading, and so will try to check port 10000 to see if 
it is free, and fail..

There is actually a group called the Open Management Consortium that
has recently started to bring together the developers of various open
source admin tools, including Webmin. At the moment though, there is
very little code sharing between things like Webmin, SWAT and the
like ... most likely because they are written in different languages,
and none really provides a library that makes re-use by other tools.

However, Webmin 1.300 includes an XML-RPC API that can be called by
other programs over the network ... so hopefully this will increase
code re-use in future :)

[webmin-l] deb experience

[Mark P. <pa...@in...>]

  I know it's not entirely fair, but I tried installing the new webmin 
deb onto a machine already running an earlier version.  The earlier 
version was not installed by deb.  The installation failed with a "port 
already in use" error.  Probably isn't worth doing anything about, but I 
thought I'd mention it anyway.  Once I removed the old webmin and 
reinstalled the deb things seem to work fine.  Thanks for the deb...  I 
first discovered webmin browsing the debs available in Debian (Woody?).

  Also, I'm curious as to what cooperation if any happens between the

mysql-admin, destar etc..).  Is there any?  I've always thought OSS 
would be a more consistently friendly place if there was a library of 
well debugged config plugins/modules that UI guys could plunder and 
abuse.  It might even be useful for the config fiddling that some 
rpm/debs do.  Does this already exist, or are there good technical or

I probably won't add support for that mode any time soon, as it would mean
starting and stopping the stunnel daemon, arranging for it to be started at
boot time, and other complexities that xinetd / inetd do for you automatically..

Hello!

Yes, it is very possible; we're currently running it on four servers without inetd/xinetd. So, it'd be nice if Webmin could support that configuration. It is not likely that we'll be installing xinetd or any other such "front-end" daemon.

Is that even possible? I didn't know that stunnel could run as a stand-alone
server .. I thought it always needed a program like inetd, xinetd or tcpserver
to actually accept the network connections.

That said, xinetd is a pretty light-weight program, assuming that you don't
configure it to run any other services.

[webmin-l] stunnel and webmin

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

Hello Jamie!

Any chance of getting support for stunnel configuration without the use of inetd/xinetd?

Typically, we use stunnel without such tools and store the configuration in /etc/stunnel/stunnel.conf
The .pem files, certs.pem, etc. and the log files are also (in our case) stored in that directory.

Everytime I downgrade versions I first copy /etc/webmin to =
/etc/webmin.copy
and then uninstall the version either manually or via rpm (depends which
package is installed).

Prior to install the older version again I copy /etc/webmin.copy to
/etc/webmin and just let it go.

Normally this should run without any problems.

Since port 10000 is registered as the NDMP (backup support protocol) 
port, and there are known vulnerabilities in the NDMP implementations of 
common backup products, that's not surprising.  (That they'd block it, 
not that they hadn't told you.)

directives and it open the whole httpd.conf file!

for www.example.com:80 (in bold and not a link OE auto convert)

Use the text box below to manually edit the Apache directives in
/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf that apply to this virtual server, directory or
files.

text box here example first few lines!

# -FrontPage- version=5.0
#
# Based upon the NCSA server configuration files originally by Rob McCool.
#
# This is the main Apache server configuration file.  It contains the
# configuration directives that give the server its instructions.
# See <URL:http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/> for detailed information about
# the directives.
#
# Do NOT simply read the instructions in here without understanding
# what they do.  They're here only as hints or reminders.  If you are unsure
# consult the online docs. You have been warned.

At the moment, there is no way to do this .. although if you have installed
the RPM version of Webmin, you could setup a cron job that downloads
http://www.webmin.com/download/rpm/webmin-current.rpm and installs it once
per day..

I am running a VPS root server, so I can only guess that my hosts =
(hostway)
have decided suddenly block port 10000 without telling me, which is odd.
Anyway I changed the webmin port in the end and all is well again.

Thanks for your help,

Russell.
