[webmin-l] Webmin 1.300 released

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

Hi everyone,

Webmin version 1.300 is now available for download from
http://www.webmin.com/ and mirror sites. This release includes
the following changes :

- Fixed security holes that allow the source of Webmin programs
  to be viewed, and allow cross-site-scripting attacks.
- XML-RPC clients can now call Webmin API functions.
- On systems with no root password, users with sudo access can
  login to Webmin as root.
- Improved support for latest Debian and Fedora releases, including
  the new IPtables config system in Debian 3.1.
- The file manager can now extract tar.bz2 files, store a history
  of entered paths, and show the total size of a directory.
- The Filesystem Backup module can backup and restore TAR and dump
  files over FTP.
- MySQL server variables and connections can be viewed and changes.
- Table data can be sorted by clicking on headers in the MySQL and
  PostgreSQL modules.
- Improved support for PostgreSQL 8, including editing tables with
  no OID field.
- Sendmail and Postfix aliases and maps can have a comment associated
  with each entry.
- Squid 2.6 is now supported.
- A bunch of other small bugfixes and features.

Also available is Usermin 1.230, which has numerous improvements and fixes
in the Read Mail, MySQL and PostgreSQL modules. The most important of
which is improved IMAP mode support, in which all mail folders are taken
automatically from an IMAP server.

As always, please send me any bug reports or feature suggestions that
you might have.

 - Jamie

Is this a single user deletion, or are you removing several at once?
I can't replicate this in Webmin 1.300, sorry..

Ok, I see what you mean now ..
In the Webmin Users module on the access control page for the Users
and Groups module, is the 'Delete user in other modules?' option set
to 'Always on' ?

Hi Jamie

it reports as if it has deleted from modules then continues as normal.

no errors related in the log. just some of the /etc/shadow /etc/passwd hack
attempts.

hi morris,
  <br />
  <br />
For upload functionality webmin is using upload.cgi.=A0 Infact java is
used only for showing directory listing.
  <br />
  <br />
  <br />
So here is how it can be done.... I am not good in cgi coding :(
otherwise I would have done it. It should be simple.
  <br />
  <br />
It can be easily done by using Ajax from perl. So when user clicks on
upload read call on server is reading over http connection.
  <br />
  <br />
Current code is in web-lib-funcs.pl
  <br />
____________________________________________________________________________________________
  <br />
# transfer data &lt;&lt;this code is web-lib-funcs.pl&gt;&gt;
  <br />
  <br />
local $got;
  <br />
open(PFILE, $_[2]);
  <br />
while(read(PFILE, $buf, 1024) &gt; 0) {
  <br />
=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0 print CON $buf;
  <br />
=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0 $got +=3D length($buf);
  <br />
  <br />
// change here would be to write data back to browser. I guess u can
suggest this to jamie...
  <br />
// use simple ajax
  <br />
  <br />
=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0 &amp;$cbfunc(3, $got) if ($cbfunc);
  <br />
=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0 }
  <br />
close(PFILE);
  <br />
close(CON);
  <br />
____________________________________________________________________________________________
  <br />
  <br />
I wish it was in java I could have done this with in few hrs.. :(
  <br />
  <br />
  <br />
  <br />
thanks

I've included megaupload which includes the source in pearl up java.
                <br />
                <br />
Please take a look to see what you think. I think it would be a nice
feature to both modules.

Hi Jamie

i appreciate there is the easy-to-use form but i was referring to quick edit
of the template file its self.
a bit like editing say the manually editing the procmail file without having
to go to the file manager.
just seems like it would be easy enough to add this feature.

i have not had time to look into all the setting of  Virtualmin as i don't
have a standard set-up and it seemed to add files in places that i don't
want them. maybe i need to play with it on my testbed server in the office.

If you are using Virtualmin, you should be able to edit it on the Server
Templates page. If you are just using the BIND module directly, there
is an easy-to-use form for defining records for new zones on the Zone
Defaults page.

You should be able to get it out of the 1.290 source RPM. When you install
an srpm, the .spec files gets written to /usr/src/Redhat/SPECS.

i remembered all but the ${IP}

it may have been suggested before but any plans the have the template file

its a bit of a "bind!" having to go to file manager to make changes.

Re: [webmin-l] maximum webmin user and maximum concurrent ofwebminconnection.

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

50 concurrent connections doesn't mean 50 users though - it only means
there is a limit of 50 HTTP requests active at any one time. Since users
reading mail tend to make a request and then view a page for a while, the
number of actual logged-in users support would be much higher than 50 .. 
perhaps 250 at a rough estimate.

Not really, because Virtualmin configures Apache for the actual 
(web)hosting, and whichever of several FTP daemons for FTP, and three or 
four each SMTP and POP/IMAP daemons for mail service.....

perhaps I should re-evaluate the use of Usermin as the webmail for a mail 
server client!!!! :(

any recommendation for an alternative???

(I love to use usermin... mostly because I feel it is much more secure 
that any webmail over Apache + PHP, and Jamie's active and helpful

There is built-in limit on the number of user accounts, but there is a default
limit of 50 concurrent connections. Any more would probably overload most systems,
as Webmin is not be efficient..

I'd estimate that a typical user with a few .acl files could take up 100k of
disk space..

You need to have lines in your template like :

www IN A ${IP}

Dear sir
           How many webmin's user that webmin system can create ? and How
many maximum concurrent connection to connect webmin system?
           I think webmin's user is depended on disk size. But How to
calculate disk size of each webmin's user.

Thanks all.

The problem here is that the format of Dovecot's config file changed in
the 1.0.something release, and Webmin doesn't yet support the new format.
In fact, it can even add incorrect lines as you saw, causing Dovecot to fail
to start.

Until I fix this in Webmin, there only solution is to edit dovecot.conf manually.
I have no idea WHY they felt the need to change the config format (for the 3rd time!) -
the new layout doesn't really enhance its capabilities as far as I can see.

[webmin-l] dovecot imap problem

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

I am trying to use webmin to administer dovecot, but I think that something
changed in last dovecot version.

If I use webmin to manage dovecot 0.99.14, if I enter under user and login
options

plain-text
standard unix user database
defaut PAM service dovecot

and save and restart, everything is OK

If I use webmin to manage dovecot 1.0.beta3 (the last version available in
suse 10.1)  if I enter the same settings I cannot restart dovecot.

It says:

Starting dovecot Error: Error in configuration file
/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf line 621: Unknown setting: userdb
..failed

the "region" of dovecot.conf file interested by this error is this:

   mechanisms = plain                                                       
   userdb = passwd                                                          
   passdb = pam                                                             
                                                                            
 if I remove the two lines                                                  
   userdb = passwd                                                          
   passdb = pam                                                             
                                                                            
 dovecot starts again, but there is no chance to login (both imap and pop3) 
 apart from localhost (which is considered a trusted host)                  
                                                                            
 I think that something changed in the structure of dovecot configuration   
 file; is it correct ?                                                      
 And if it is, when we will have an updated webmin module ?                 
                                                                            
 thanks in advance,
