Re: [webmin-l] Failed to save cron job

[Watson, W. <Wil...@ve...>]

Hi,

It had bash. I switched it to sh and it works. If I "su - oracle" then
crontab works with bash. It must be a path or .profile thing?

Thanks and regards,

[webmin-l] Webmin 1.280 released

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

Hi everyone,

Webmin version 1.280 is now available for download from
http://www.webmin.com/ and mirror sites. This release includes
the following changes :

- Added the Simple Blue theme, a less graphics-heavy design which
  may eventually become the default. This theme takes advantage of
  changes in many modules to use highlighting on table rows.
- Updated the Apache module to support version 2.2.0.
- Updated the various operating-specific NFS server modules to
  support mass deletion of exports, and to internationalize those
  that were using hard-coded text strings.
- Updated various modules to allow deletion of multiple objects
  (such as table fields, Samba shares, PostgreSQL grants, Squid ACLs
  and so on) at once.
- Added configuration options to the Read User Mail module for the date
  format, pager arrow locations, timezone and separate message window mode.
- Updated the MySQL module to support views in MySQL version 5.
- Enhanced the System and Server Status module to allow the selection of
  multiple hosts for each monitor, added a monitor type for testing an SQL
  server, and updated the Network Traffic monitor to support FreeBSD.
- A bunch of other bug fixes and small features.

Also available is Usermin 1.210, which has numerous improvements and fixes
in the Read Mail and Mail Fowarding modules, in particular solving the
problem of links to messages in the mail list becoming incorrect when
new mail arrives.

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

 - Jamie

Turns out I had misnamed the field that's associated with the chooser button. 
Oi vey! Spent far too long mucking about with it.

[webmin-l] Newbie question: CD/DVD burning

[Physiology T. S. <psi...@em...>]

This is my first time using webmin and I'm very impressed so far. Thanks for a 
wonderful program!

I'd like to burn DVDs through the webmin interface (it seems that may not be 
supported, but I'll fiddle with that later). I thought I should start by 
getting CD burning to work, but when I go to the "Device Options" section of 
the CD burner module, "<none selected>" is the only choice. I can mount CDs 
just fine using this drive, so it seems to work. This is webmin 1.280 on 
Ubuntu Server 6.06. The device is /dev/hdc and /dev/cdrom is symlinked to it. 
The DVD burner model is TOSHIBA ODD-DVD SD-R5272. Can anyone help me get CD 
(and maybe even DVD) burning working?

Thanks!
Mike

Do you have more than one form on your page? If so, you need to pass the
form number as the third parameter to file_chooser_button.

[webmin-l] file_chooser_button?

[Noah R. <nr...@wa...>]

What does it take to make the output of file_chooser_button() actually popup a 
window? Calls to file_chooser_button work fine in existing modules (such as 
apache/htaccess.cgi). In code that I'm writing, file_chooser_button appears 
to output the correct html/js, but clicking on the resulting button does 
nothing.

The code pulls in web-lib.pl, web-lib-funcs.pl, ui-lib.pl and 
javascript-lib.pl. The first form on the page uses the date_chooser_button() 
function, and that works fine.

The relevant HTML (rather ugly) looks like:

<form METHOD="POST" ACTION="defbb.cgi" ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data" 
NAME="restoreform">
<table width="100%" id="restore-form"><input type="hidden" 
name="restoreinited" value="true">
<tobdy>
<tr><br><br></tr>
<tr><input type="radio" name="fm" value="1" title="Restore only if entire 
bundle validates." checked="on">Failure Mode 1</tr>
<tr><input type="radio" name="fm" value="2" title="Parse message bundle and 
restore individual messages that validate.">Failure Mode 2</tr>
<tr><input type="radio" name="fm" value="3" title="Restore even messages that 
don't validate if there's no valid copy on disk.">Failure Mode 3</tr>
<tr><td width="70%"><table width="100%"><tr><td width="70%"><table 
width="100%"><tr><input name="bfilename"><input type=button onClick='ifield = 
form.file; chooser = 
window.open("/chooser.cgi?add=0&type=1&chroot=/&file="+escape(ifield.value),

Re: [webmin-l] Failed to save cron job

What shell does the oracle user have? The su command may behave
oddly if it is not something sensible like sh or csh.

Hi,

Can some one tell me where this error comes from? "Failed to save cron

checked the cron.allow file but all users are there. The modules

All users cron jobs still run. I deleted the crontabs and tried to

Root can still be created, edited and saved with the module. This is on
HP-UX.

Which function is raising this exception?

This error can happen if Webmin runs the crontab command to update Cron
jobs, and then detects that it has failed. On HPUX, the command is :

su USERNAME -c crontab

If you run that as root at the shell prompt and enter a job in the
editor that should appear, does it save properly?

Re: [webmin-l] authenticating webmin users using ntlm?

This could be done using PAM, if there is a PAM module for ntlm.
You would need to the following :

1) Install the Authen::PAM perl module
2) Restart Webmin
3) Create or edit /etc/pam.d/webmin to use the ntlm module
4) In the Webmin Users module, edit the users who you want to authenticate with
   ntml and set their passwords to 'Unix authentication'

I haven't personally tested this, but it should work..

[webmin-l] Mac OS 10.4.6 and "Users and Groups" module password problem

[mistersquid <web...@mi...>]

I'm new to webmin and apologize, in advance, if I'm rehashing old  
ground or have overlooked something obvious. I have searched the  
archives and googled a bit but have turned up nothing definitive in a  
few hours of searching, though I did find something perhaps related here

	http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=14626558

My issue is that I am using

	System > Users and Groups > [username]

to change a the password for a user who is also a webmin user (I  
haven't tested users who are not webmin users). When I do so what  
results is

	1. BASH accepts both passwords in the context of "su [username]"
	2. webmin accepts only the new password
	3. POP3 using SSL accepts only the old password (I don't allow plain- 
text login traffic)

Regarding (1.) "su [username]", /var/log/system.log reports for the  
new password

	[...] com.apple.SecurityServer: Failed to authorize right  
system.login.tty by process /usr/bin/su for authorization created by / 
usr/bin/su.

even though the login prompt indicates a successful su, while for the  
old password /var/log/system.log yields

	[...] com.apple.SecurityServer: Succeeded authorizing right  
system.login.tty by process /usr/bin/su for authorization created by / 
usr/bin/su.

Any clues? Thank you in advance for any pointers and, again, my  
apologies if I've overlooked an already available resource.

Hello Jamie,

 

The server Monitor module is working great keeping services up if they go

Is there a log or plans for a log that will let us see over time when the
monitor had to run it's commands to restart services?

Hi Sandeep,
Webmin cannot setup Webalizer to report on your mail log as it is not a format
the Webalizer supports. Because Webmin just calls an external program to do the
actual report generation, it is at the mercy of the capabilities of that program ..

Hi All,

I am using webmin (1.270) on my mail server (Postfix on RHEL 3.0). I want 
the log file analyzer for /var/log/maillog to create the presentable report. 
I have tried to add the log file in Webalizer version 2.01-10 but there are

Which one I have to choose for this log file?
Is any other Log analyzer for maillog to make batter presentable report

I believe I followed your instructions.  They are not working.

Something is immediately mapping fax.htt-consult.com to 
sip.htt-consult.com before anything else seems to take affect....

Re: [webmin-l] Apache logs

[Steve D. <sdo...@gm...>]

OK, problem solved.  I did the following two things:

1) upgraded to latest version of webmin (1.270)
2) In the apache webserver module configuration file, I set the value
of "Directory to create links in for new virtual servers" to
"/etc/apache2/sites-enabled"

Thanks Marcos. Yes Asterfax has its own smtp daemon that they admit is 
not too secure.  They tell you how to run it with sendmail on the same 
system by eating up another IP address.  I did this already.  But I am 
saying, forget that, why not just use Sendmail.  Afterall the 
asterfax.xml has an External option for inbound mail.

I will run through your recommendations below.  Should be able to follow 
your recipe.  I assume that I can set receivedfaxes to not allow login...

[webmin-l] Mail log file analyzer

[Sandeep A. <san...@ho...>]

Hi All,

I am using webmin (1.270) on my mail server (Postfix on RHEL 3.0). I want 
the log file analyzer for /var/log/maillog to create the presentable report. 
I have tried to add the log file in Webalizer version 2.01-10 but there are 
only 3 report types (Squid, Apache, FTP).

Which one I have to choose for this log file?
Is any other Log analyzer for maillog to make batter presentable report 
(Like SARG in case of SQUID)?

Thanking you,
Sandeep Agarwal 

Re: [webmin-l] Procmail help along with sendmail...

[Marcos R. <we...@al...>]

I'm lost... I was checking Asterfax homepage 
(http://asterfax.sourceforge.net), and it seems to me that it works as an 
smtp-like daemon!...

also...

if you create a user "receivedfaxes" and use procmail in 
/home/receivedfaxes perhaps it will be easier to trackdown the problem....

you could do:

add the user receivedfaxes

using virtusertable make any mail received for fax.htt-consult.com go to 
receivedfaxes

create something like this in /home/receivedfaxes

su receivedfaxes

cat >> /home/receivedfaxes/.procmailrc
LOGFILE=pmlog
LOGABSTRACT=all
VERBOSE=on

myunique = `date +%s`
:0:
/var/spool/asterfax/inbox/$myunique

(control+D)

be sure that receivedfaxes can write to /var/spool/asterfax/inbox/

(you can make the user receivedfaxes with the same group than the one you 
see in /var/spool/asterfax/inbox )

Cheers!
Marcos

What is in the <Virtualhost> section in httpd.conf for your new
virtual server? Webmin expects to find a CustomLog line so that it can
figure out where the virtual host logs to ..
