Re: [webmin-l] backup and restore remote style

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

Hi Ryan,
You need to either enter a password into the 'Password for SSH account'
field, or setup SSH so that the root user can login to the other system
without needing a password. Generally the first option is easier ..

Re: [webmin-l] Config files for webmin

Hi Thomas,
Do you have the Net::SSLeay Perl module installed? It is needed for SSL t=
o work ..
The best way to activate it is using the SSL Encryption page in the Webmi=
n Configuration module - that will tell you if any dependencies are missi=

Running the backup in the background isn't as useful for debugging, as
you don't get to see the output from the dump or tar command. It is
better to instead click on the backup from the main menu, then hit the
Backup Now button.. this will show you what is really going on.

[webmin-l] Config files for webmin

[Thomas E D. <ed...@al...>]

Hello,

Just setup a new server and webmin is being bad.  I can access webmin via
http but not https.  I have setup the SSL but for some reason it just won't
work.  Also, I have serveral virtual servers created with virtualmin that I
need to add/copy.  Would it be safe to copy webmin config files from the old
server to the new server?  If so, are the config files in /etc/webmin?  This
is a CentOS 4.2 (RHEL 4) setup.

Thanks

Re: [webmin-l] Strange folder names in backup

[Vernon <ve...@cw...>]

> Which Webmin module are you using to do these backups? There are several with

I'm using the VirtualMin backup and am using the SSH option to transfer to another 
server. 

The folder that was created is called "997319_2_backup.pl". This folder changes from 
day to day. 

I've also noticed that this folder is inside the folder that the files are supposed to 
be SSHed to. Some of the files that are being backed up are in both folder with the 
same dates, but different times. The ones in the "997319_2_backup.pl" are actually 
older (by 20 minutes) than the ones in the root folder.

But when I was in the usermin config from the webmin page, it 
mentioned DAV.  What is that?

[webmin-l] can't delete database from virtualmin

[Ravi G. <ra...@ra...>]

Every time an account is created within virtualmin, a database is also
created. If this database is deleted from mysql it will still show on
virtualmin and it will not let anyone delete it. The consequence of this is
that the backup fails by telling me that there is no such database.how to
get around this problem?

Your problem is that this URL actually just points to a download page,
from which the real files are linked on various mirror sites. A real URL
that you could use with wget is :

Hi Perisa,
That kind of rule would certainly do the job..
There is no need to create one for the FORWARD or OUTPUT chains though,
as the INPUT chain will handle all incoming traffic from the attacker.

Hi Marcos,
This is indeed a bug in Usermin - sometimes if a new message arrives or the
mail file is modified since the mail list is displayed, the message indexes
in the links become out of date by the time you click on them. I am working
on a solution though :)

[webmin-l] read mail module bug?

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

at least in my crazy setup ;)

1.- procmail delivers mail to /var/spool/mail/myname
2.- I have a shell running pine most of the time... pine moves the mail 
from /var/spool/mail/myname to /home/myname/mail/mbox
3.- if *while pine is running* I decide to read mail from the web, and 
change to folder mbox, the folowing has hapened:

3.1- usermin readmail for mbox shows messages 1 to 20 of NN
3.2.- I click in message number 1
3.3.- a message different that the one that I expected shows up!

and.. if at that time I check pine.. I can see that pine has move a new 
message to mbox! (the message that I'm looking in 3.3)

not a big deal.. and I suposse only happens in my case... but could it 
hapens if I'm reading only from webmail (no pine opened in another shell), 
and is the Inbox???... or when reading Inbox the readmail module "knows" 
to check in disparities between message numbers and new messages???...

hope I'm more or less clear ;)

[webmin-l] Firewall

[Perisa A. <pe...@sa...>]

Sorry to bother but, could someone confirm if I'll do right adding =
following:

Linux Firewall
Incoming Packets (INPUT)
Add Rule: Comment- "A Hacker to block" - "207.212.29.73" *Drop Reject =
with ICMP type *Default

Condition details:
As I understand nothing to change because I wish to block hacker's IP?
Create!

Iguess that I have to repeat the same through:
Forwarded packets (FORWARD) as well as for Outgoing packets (OUTPUT)

I'd like to block addresses found in a daily logwatch to prevent lucky =
hacker to break in at the end.

Re: [webmin-l] Webmin Module b9ddns

[Craig W. <cra...@az...>]

Is that why I see complaints about the .jnl file from time to time?
Because I am using dynamic zones and when I try to apply changes via
webmin, I do seem to run into that...

Running the backup in the background isn't as useful for debugging, as
you don't get to see the output from the dump or tar command. It is
better to instead click on the backup from the main menu, then hit the
Backup Now button.. this will show you what is really going on.

Hi Ryan,
The standard Webmin BIND module works fine with BIND 9. The only thing it=
 cannot do is manage zones that are dynamic - that is, they are updated b=
y other programs such as DHCPd once BIND is already running.

Unfortunately, that is correct. Someone submitted that module to me a
few years ago and I posted it for download, but neither he nor I have
done any maintenance on it since.

So if anyone is interested, feel free to take over the project!

Hi Vernon,
Which Webmin module are you using to do these backups? There are several =

[webmin-l] virualmin backup/restore not working

[Barry <we...@i1...>]

Hi Jamie -

I am trying to move a virtual server from one host to another. The 
backup seemed to go ok, and so did the move of the archive file.

When I try to restore, I get this output in webmin:
Starting restore of 1 domains from /tmp/www.domain.com_backup.tar.gz ..

-------------------------
At that point, apache seems to know about the new host, but the the 
restore did not complete. In particular, I note the database has been 
created, but the tables not loaded....I don't know what else is missing.

This may bre related to this earlier report, which was closed fopr lack 
of data:
