Re: [webmin-l] Webmin 1.270 released

[Rodney R. <ro...@rc...>]

Thanks Jamie. I'll enjoy checking out the bind and cluster changes. Look
forward to it.
Incidentally, I clicked on the "sponser" link and noticed
www.opencountry.com/webmin is an invalid link.  :(

Thanks.  I was worried that when I would make a change in this zone, 
the $ORIGIN records would disappear...

I see that they did not.

Hi Craig,

Thanks for the offer but I can wait until Jamie has got the addressbook
deletion right in Webmin which sounds like pretty soon.  It shouldn't
matter where in the LDAP tree the addressbooks are stored - webmin
should be able to deal with it.

This is really a bug in Webmin, but fortunately only a cosmetic one.
That 'Show Generated Records' page is my attempt to emulate what BIND does
when creating records from a $generate statement, however it doesn't take
any previous $origin lines into account. This doesn't actually effect the
real records that BIND generates though..

I will see if this can be fixed in a future Webmin release.

[webmin-l] Record Generator dialog not honoring $ORIGIN

[Robert M. <rg...@ht...>]

When I use the Edit Records File option for BIND, I can see the 
records I originally coded by hand:

$ORIGIN			78.84.65.client.htt-consult.com.
192			IN	A	65.84.78.192
$GENERATE 195-197 $ A	65.84.78.$
$GENERATE 199-203 $ A	65.84.78.$
...

In the Records Generator panel if I click on Show Generated Records, 
I get entries like:

195.htt-consult.com A Default 65.84.78.195.htt-consult.com

Note that the 'client' subdomain got left out.

I do not see a $ORIGIN panel.  So I am concerned about editing this 
zone file other than via the Edit Records File.

And I wonder about this, as the $ORIGIN approach is how Cricket has 
it in his BIND book (and he had an error that a number of us pointed out)....

I long ago solved my problem of deleting users who had personal address
books by using your before/after script options and a little bit of
shell scripting. The issue I had though was that I am putting users
personal LDAP address books inside the user dn itself, i.e.

ou=AddressBook,uid=craig,ou=People,dc=azapple,dc=com

and LDAP wouldn't permit deleting uid=craig,ou=People,dc=azapple,dc=com
if there were child entries but the way I am reading Murray's issue, it
would appear that his personal address books are in a separate tree, and
I'm not certain of the child entries issue is the problem or not. If so,
I can probably help Murray out with 'before' script stuff to delete the
address books with a separate script.

I am going to release Webmin 1.270 in a few days, and it will have some changes
in this area that may fix the issue. At the very least it will display a more useful
error message if the address book deletion fails..

I can't see why traffic on xl1 would be logged, as those rules clearly mention
xl0 as the interface .. although perhaps someone can point out an error in those
IPFW rules.

No like mentioned in my last email it is logging the wrong interface there is data showing up in the /var/log/bandwidth dir but it is xl1 not xl0.  I am repeating myself here but webmin added this to /etc/syslog but is logging xl1? top of the file.

log level local7.debug out on xl0 all
log level local7.debug in on xl0 all

this in /etc/syslog

local7.debug    /var/log/bandwidth

See previous mail for an example of the output to /var/log/bandwidth.

I have pointed webmin to this dir but there does not seem to be any contents there.

/usr/local/etc/webmin/bandwidth #ls
config          rotate.pl

We are using the Evolution e-mail client and Horde/Turba Webmail
software.  I have used a LDAP directory tool GQ in the past which I
think allowed me to add/delete entries.  You could also use the ldapadd
command if you can figure out the syntax :-)

Hi Murray,
Hmm, perhaps I need to test this more myself ..
What program or tool do you use to add address book entries? I've never really
tested to ensure that all sub-entries in the LDAP DB are properly deleted.

Hi Jamie,

Thanks for the quick response.  No I am not using the batch file method
of creating/deleting users.  I can add and remove users fine as long as
they don't have any entries in their ldap addressbook.  Once they do it
is failing for me.

That is odd, because Webmin does delete the address book entry
when deleting a user. The only time this doesn't happen is when using
the batch file feature, due to a bug in version 1.260. Are you using
batch files there?

[webmin-l] LDAP Personal Addressbook Entries not deleted

[Murray T. <mtr...@ce...>]

Hi Jamie,

I managed to sort out most of my problems with the LDAP Users and Groups
module on SuSE 10.0 - it turned out to be NSCD issues.  I set the
positive and negative-time-to-live values for passwd and group to zero
and it has fixed all the strange/intermittent errors I was getting.

The only issue I have left is that if I create a user and then some
entries in their LDAP addressbook, the addressbook and its entries are
not deleted when the user account is deleted.  This causes the error
below when I re-create the user:

Failed to save user : Failed to create addressbook entry : Already
exists

I am using a personal addressbook of the form:

dn: ou=test,ou=personal_addressbook,dc=domain,dc=net

and the entries are of the form:

dn: cn=entry,ou=test,ou=personal_addressbook,dc=gopc,dc=net


Thanks

Murray

Re: [webmin-l] Awstats module failing on SuSE 10

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

One option would be to have logrotate run awstats just before
rotating the log file. However, a better solution would be for
Webmin / Virtualmin to handle this automatically, by setting the
logFile option in awstats.XXX.conf to some program that outputs all
compressed / rotates logs.

The down side here is that this would make log processing much
slower, as all rotated files would need to be un-compressed each
time awstats is run..

Re: [webmin-l] Awstats module failing on SuSE 10

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

OK; any idea on how I could solve this with webmin? I mean, presumably I'm =
not the only one using log rotation to limit the size of a log file and to =
make it/them more manageable. So how would one handle a situation where sta=
ts aren't generated for a given run and must be generated on the next run, =
when there's also fresh "today's" stats to be processed.

Looking at the LogFile directive for Awstats, this is listed:

# You can also use a pipe if log file come from a pipe.
# Example: "gzip -d </var/log/apache/access.log.gz |"
# If there is several log files from load balancing servers :
# Example: "/pathtotools/logresolvemerge.pl *.log |"=20

Perhaps WM could allow for this?

The 'Don't re-install deleted or new modules?' option on the upgrade form should do this.
