Re: [webmin-l] Webmin admin password not working on Redhat 9

[Aaron G. <an...@be...>]

I cannot find "/var/log/authlog" and "miniserv.error" got :-

~~~
[20/Apr/2006:01:03:06 +0100] miniserv.pl started
[20/Apr/2006:01:03:06 +0100] Perl module Authen::PAM needed for PAM is =

~~~

So looks like the Redhat 9 install missed the Authen::PAM Perl module ?

Can I install this ?

    Hi,

    I have Webmin installed on two Redhat 9 servers. Both were working =
fine with version 1.250 for four months.

    I have just reinstalled one server with Redhat 9 and Webmin 1.270 =
after a disk crash but the admin logon is not working.

    I have just deinstalled 1.270 and reinstalled it with 1.250 but the =
logon is not working still. I have tried resetting the password too.

    The only thing I can think of doing is reinstalling Redhat 9 again =
from scratch, but would rather not do that.

    Any help welcome.

    Aaron


  Check to see what gets logged to /var/log/authlog and =
/var/webmin/miniserv.error when you try to logon. The reasons for any =
failures
  should be recorded there ..

Hi Murray,
When deleting the user, does it list deleting the addressbook in the
display of things that it is doing? And if so, is any error reported?

Hi Jamie,

I installed 1.273 and created a user with a personal addressbook and
some entries in it and tried deleting the user.  Tried deleting the user
via the selection list or one user at a time and both ways it said it
deleted the user but when I do a slapcat of my LDAP directory it is
still there.  I do get the error below in my /var/log/messages though.

Yes, I have implemented a fix for it, which will be included in the 1.273

[webmin-l] Webmin admin password not working on Redhat 9

[Aaron G. <an...@be...>]

Hi,

I have Webmin installed on two Redhat 9 servers. Both were working fine =
with version 1.250 for four months.

I have just reinstalled one server with Redhat 9 and Webmin 1.270 after =
a disk crash but the admin logon is not working.

I have just deinstalled 1.270 and reinstalled it with 1.250 but the =
logon is not working still. I have tried resetting the password too.

The only thing I can think of doing is reinstalling Redhat 9 again from =
scratch, but would rather not do that.

Any help welcome.

That would happen if you login to Webmin, do some stuff, and then quit

Check the /etc/pam.d/webmin file, and make sure it has an entry to talk
to LDAP. Also, make sure the Authen::PAM perl module is installed..

Ah, okay.  The reason I am looking to do this is slightly odd, as the problem 
I have when I leave it enabled is that the user gets created w/an object 
class of shadowAccount and then gets one attribute which is shadowLastChange. 

The users created this way can log into the server (if they are in the right 
magic groups and so on, but they cannot log into webmin itself for some 
reason.)  Is there a reason why webmin login would balk at these users.  
Should additional shadow attrs be being set that are not?  I wouldn't mind 
using the shadow features, but I'm trying to use virtualmin and need the 
users created to be able to login to webmin.

Unfortunately, that is not possible. The module is designed for editing =

Re: [webmin-l] Message data encoding

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

Ah, so you are referring to the emails sent out by Webmin?
Apart from the status module (which I'll fix), are there any others
in which you've seen this problem? Most don't support any translated
or user-substituted text in the message.

Independent of the reasonable request for proper encoding of email 
messages, doesn't that server name "extend" any standards about what 
characters are valid in a domain name? I am not as up to date on that 
detail as I used to be...

[webmin-l] Disable posixAccount and associated attrs for LDAP users and groups module

[Leah C. <le...@fr...>]

Hi,

I"m trying to figure out how to get the LDAP Users's and Group's module to not 
set the posixAccount ObjectClass or any of the associated attributes when 
users are created.  I've got it working by just commenting out bits of code 
that do the dirty work, but I was hoping someone had a way to just configure 
this in the module or system that I was overlooking.

Thanks,
Leah

Re: [webmin-l] Message data encoding

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

No, I am referring to, for example, monitor notification messages.

If they include 8-bit data, Webmin doesn't notice and simply sends it out "=
as is" instead of encoding it (the safest way is probably to always run it =
through an encoder and let it decide).

If I call a server "=C4rendehantering" (notice the =C4'=E4'), and Webmin ne=
eds to notify me that a monitor on it has "gone down" or such, it'll includ=
e the server name without hesitation :-)

Maybe you can visit their site and contact them to see if they will

Webmin came to my rescue... once again ;)

Even though I'm really bad at programing with perl... I'm able to survive

and.. it is possible to do simple scripts that accomplish what I needed...

and.. via Custom Commands... I had the GUI I needed to enter data... and 
to show data in a coherent form :)

Then.. even if it was an Off Topic Posting... Now I'm replying to it... to 
say:

Thanks Jammie... webmin to rescue... once again...

and thanks for allow me to be soooo lazy and never really learn perl ;) :P

Thanks again, and again....

If you are adding a simple SPF record or are un-familiar with the format,
the SPF page is best. But if you are an expert, you can just add it as
a regular TXT record..

Re: [webmin-l] DNS Text records

[Steve C. <cam...@cn...>]

Thanks loads Jamie,

I guess these aged eyes didn't even see that icon due to the big "TXT" 
letters on the screen.

It looks like the SPF form is quite complete. Great job!! Is it prefered 
that a user enters the fields in the SPF screen versus the TXT screen, or is 
it a matter of preference if the user knows the string to put into the TXT 
record? It appears either would work (providing this user knows what he is 
looking for after adding the record).

Very grateful and feeling a little foolish.

Steve
