Go to /etc/webmin, edit miniserv.conf, and you'll find a line saying 
logouttime=5, chance that to the number of minutes you want to have the 
system idle without logging you out.

I'm not the expert here, but I think 30 minutes is a bit too long, security 
wise. I wouldn't have it set to more than 10 or probably 15 minutes at max.

[webmin-l] Webmin 1.280 pre-release now available

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

Hi Webmin developers and translators,

Webmin 1.280 will be coming out soon, so I have created a 1.279 
development pre-release for interested people to test before the 
official 1.280 version comes out. Translators should also take a look 
at this version to find any new strings that need conversion.

You can get the 1.279 version from :

http://download.webmin.com/devel/tarballs/webmin-1.279.tar.gz
or
http://download.webmin.com/devel/rpm/webmin-1.279-1.noarch.rpm

The biggest changes in this new version are :

 - A new theme called 'Simple Blue' that uses much fewer
   images than the current 'MSC' theme (and may eventually
   become the default).
 - Code cleanups in modules that display tables to use a new
   API, and to support mass deletion where it was lacking.
 - Multiple hosts can be selected for each monitor in the 
   System and Server Status module.
 - Support for tunneling connections to another server in
   the SSH/Telnet Login module.

A full change log is available at :
http://www.webmin.com/changes-1.279.html


A pre-release 1.209 version of Usermin is also available,
which fixes many bugs in the Read Mail module, improves
search speed for Maildir mailboxes, adds auto-clearing of
folders and generally cleans up the code. This is available
from :

http://download.webmin.com/devel/tarballs/usermin-1.209.tar.gz
or
http://download.webmin.com/devel/rpm/usermin-1.209-1.noarch.rpm

No problem in IE, only Firefox.

     when comes about configuring postfix You can read howto for

     another thing is to set up MX entry (mail exchanger - part of the

[webmin-l] new to all this DNS stuff - please advise

[alex s. <ale...@gm...>]

Hello,

I'm in the process of setting up a server and having a bit of trouble
understanding this BIND thing and wondered if anyone would be able to
help me out.

I have changed the DNS settings for the URL to point to the server and
that appears to have worked but I haven't configured the server to
know that the URL belongs to it and I'm not sure what I need to do in
the BIND DNS module of Webmin. (Dispite reading the documentation
twice!)

When I ordered the server, it came with the domain
http://blahblahblah.easydservers.com and when I try to use sendmail or
postfix, it defaults to sending from
al...@bl... and not al...@my...

The server is purely for internet (no local network) so I just need to
know how to set up this new domain properly. Any advice welcome...

Thanks in advance,

Alex

Unfortunately there isn't any debug mode, sorry..
The closest you could get is editing /usr/libexec/webmin/fsdump/backup.pl
and adding code to print information (like the hostname) as it progresses.
Something like :

print STDERR "hostname = ",&get_system_hostname(),"\n";

Yes .. that looks like the same cause.

Hello Jamie,

sorry that is not possible. I tried to migrate the system to an other
host, but that is too much work.
Is it possible to activate a debug mode in webmin?

Have you got my answer, that the system monitoring module also reports
"localhost" in the mailsubject?

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?

[webmin-l] Failed to save cron job

Hi,

Can some one tell me where this error comes from? "Failed to save cron
job : An error was detected in the new Cron configuration :" This error
comes for all users except root when I try to create, edit or save. I
checked the cron.allow file but all users are there. The modules
configuration also points to this file. It also happens on only one of
our boxes.=20

All users cron jobs still run. I deleted the crontabs and tried to
recreated them with the cron webmin module but the error still comes.
Root can still be created, edited and saved with the module. This is on
HP-UX.

Which function is raising this exception?

Re: [webmin-l] Sendmail configuration

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

Open the file /etc/mail/sendmail.cf in editor & locate the following

O DaemonPortOptions=3DPort=3Dsmtp,Addr=3D127.0.0.1, Name=3DMTA

And add the following line

O DaemonPortOptions=3DPort=3Dsmtp,Addr=3Daaa.bbb.ccc.ddd, Name=3DMTA

where aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd would be your Interface IP on which you want to =
listen on port 25

save the file & restart the sendmail service.

Hope I understand your case.

You need to have the Webmin bind8 module installed (which can handle
both BIND 8 and 9). This is normally part of the standard Webmin install..

I think that to debug this, I would need to login to your system myself ..
that is the only way to see what is really happening.

Ok, that is very useful information. It seems that on SuSE linux, the chkconfig
command can and should be used to enable actions, even though the SuSEE format
form init scripts is slighly different to Redhat. I will make this change in
the next Webmin release.

Hi Grant,
Usermin at the moment will not work on Windows - it depends on Unix services
like /etc/passwd and PAM to get user accounts and password, which simply don't
exist :(

again.  The last entry in the error log before the failed to bind messages
was that it was Restarting.  Looking in the miniserv.log file I saw that a
user was trying to change their theme at that same time.  I'm guessing that
is what crashed it, so I have removed the 'theme' option now.

Everything is back operational now.  Thanks for everyones assistance.

I get it working. Anyway the bug seems to be very odd.
Also here I get:
Subject: 
   Service monitor : Remote Ping down on localhost
Body:
   Monitor on localhost for 'Remote Ping'
has detected that the service has gone down at Thu Jun  8 16:13:01 2006

Maybe I am to stupid, but the module is aweful. I have installed the
webmin-bind module to monitor bind. I tried to add a monitoring of bind.
Now I get a currupt page, and it complains, that I have not installed
bind8. But I have already installed bind9! (see:
http://img464.imageshack.us/img464/9471/screenshot5oi.png)

I want to deinstall the monitoring module. Is there any other
possibility to verify why webmin displays localhost for the "E-Mail
subject" of my really interessting problem?
Can I activate a debug in webmin to see what happens on mailing?

Re: [webmin-l] webmin problem to startup services; further analisys

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

I performed the following steps:
cd /etc/init.d
cp aaa bbb
vi bbb in order to modify occurrencies of aaa in bbb and other minor
issues:

sogeaste01:/etc/init.d # cat bbb
#!/bin/sh
### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides: bbb
# Required-Start: $network
# Required-Stop: $network
# Default-Start: 2 3 5
# Description: start dummy bbb
### END INIT INFO

case "$1" in
'start')
        /bin/echo "contents of dummyfile made by bbb on start" >
/tmp/dummybbb
        ;;
'stop')
        /bin/echo "contents of dummyfile made by bbb on stop" >
/tmp/dummybbb
        ;;
*)
        echo "Usage: $0 { start | stop }"
        ;;
esac
exit 0

at this point:
dir /etc/init.d/rc3.d -rt
.....
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root root    6 Jun  7 09:25 S07aaa -> ../aaa
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root root    6 Jun  7 09:25 K15aaa -> ../aaa

sogeaste01:/etc/init.d # chkconfig --add bbb
bbb                       0:off  1:off  2:on   3:on   4:off  5:on   6:off

sogeaste01:/etc/init.d # chkconfig add on
add: unknown service

(perhaps a mispelled command ??????)

at this point:
dir /etc/init.d/rc3.d -rt
....
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root root    6 Jun  7 09:25 S07aaa -> ../aaa
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root root    6 Jun  7 09:25 K15aaa -> ../aaa
drwxr-xr-x  11 root root 2536 Jun  8 15:31 ..
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root root    6 Jun  8 15:31 S07bbb -> ../bbb
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root root    6 Jun  8 15:31 K15bbb -> ../bbb

dir /etc/init.d -rt

...
drwxr-xr-x  57 root root  4944 Jun  7 09:27 ..
-rwxr-xr-x   1 root root   451 Jun  7 09:35 aaa
-rwxr-xr-x   1 root root   450 Jun  8 15:31 bbb
drwxr-xr-x  11 root root  2536 Jun  8 15:31 .
drwxr-xr-x   2 root root  1616 Jun  8 15:31 rc5.d
drwxr-xr-x   2 root root  1440 Jun  8 15:31 rc3.d
drwxr-xr-x   2 root root   992 Jun  8 15:31 rc2.d
-rw-r--r--   1 root root  1619 Jun  8 15:31 .depend.stop
-rw-r--r--   1 root root  1561 Jun  8 15:31 .depend.start
-rw-r--r--   1 root root  1216 Jun  8 15:31 .depend.boot

so .depend files where actually modified;  rc3 links appear relative not
absolute; S and K were created;

on reboot the /tmp/dummybbb file exists and is properly populated (contents
of dummyfile made by bbb on start)

So everything seems to be OK

Running around webmin, I tried to enter into module config (of bootup and
shutdown)  and I saw:
Use chkconfig command to enable actions?      0
what does it mean ?  perhaps chkconfig is not used to anable actions ?

Thanks for the debugging info ..
Actually, what I was really wondering is if the commands :

chkconfig --add aaa
chkconfig add on

when run as root from the command line creates the same symlinks and
.depend file entries as when you use YaST.

[webmin-l] Webmin-USermin-Windows Setup

[Grant P. <gp...@th...>]

Hi all,

    I have been using Webmin and Usermin in tandem for a number of years now 
for all our hosting needs.

    Thanks to Microsoft discontinuing support for FrontPage extensions, I am 
forced into the position of having to setup an MS box as a server.

    I have been using MS for many years on out home/office workstations, but 
will undoubtably be lost on how to setup an MS server.

    I noticed on the Webmin site, that right on the bottom, it states 
Windows as a support OS.

    Since I want to continue to use Webmin/Usermin, is there anyone out 
there who would be willing to discuss their experiences 
(Windows+USermin+Webmin) offline, and possibly tutor me a bit on how to 
start the setup?

-Grant
