Hi Ryan,
I can think of a few things to check here :

1) When you start the backup, what is displayed in Webmin exactly?

Starting background backup process. You can monitor its progress in the Running Backup Jobs section on the module's main page, and will be notified of its final status via email.

Here is the log agian

1142003327.25225.0 [10/Mar/2006 08:08:47] rmvg 1ad2fa85a13bd9f92653b93db68eb7f0 68.146.204.152 fsdump backup.cgi "bgbackup" "-" "-" after='' before='' comp='2' days='*' dir='/home' email='lu...@co...' enabled='0' extra='' follow='' fs='ext3' hfile='/home/rmvg/testbak.min' honour='0' host='computerking.ca' hours='0' huser='rmvg' id='17781141953210' label='' level='0' mins='0' months='*' multi='0' pass='japangirl' remount='0' reverify='0' rsh='/usr/bin/ssh' subject='webmin backup' update='0' weekdays='*'


2) Is there any record in /var/log/secure or /var/log/authlog on the
remote system indicating that the source system is actually logging in?Mar 10 15:11:55 tokyo 

sshd[37676]: fatal: Timeout before authentication for 68.144.188.169
hmm that must be the problems that is the ip of the remote dump machine

3) When the backup is running, what dump or tar processes can you see
running?

Just to confirm, I see the same thing, on CentOS 4.2 with proftpd-1.3.0rc4. Everything seems to work fine, just the button isn't displayed correctly.

This is a bug in Webmin 1.260 - that button should really be labelled
'Stop ProFTPd'. The next release will fix it though ..

[webmin-l] backup and restore remote style

[RYAN v. G. <lu...@co...>]

Hello agian all i am tring to use the backup and restore features of 
webmin.  I am going to be using this module for a full system dump to a 
remote machine but cannot seem to get the remote dumps to work just seem 
to run forever.  I have opened the firewall on the remote machine for 
now just to make sure that is not an issue and am using ssh.  What is 
puzzling is the fact that there seems to be no indication of what is 
going on just running or terminate.  If this is the only indication 
givin bye the webmin GUI where do i look for error messages,dump logs, 
anything?  Also i do not get an email at the end of the a dump or when i 
terminate a dump even though i added my email address to the dump options.

here is the webmin.log part

I have had so many other things on my plate that I haven't been able to
take a look at this or even to say, Jamie - that Certificate Manager
modules sounds completely awesome but to you Robert...

it's easy enough to create your own CA Certificate. The problem lies not
with creating the CA Certificate but in managing the activities...CRL's,
CSR's etc., serializing certificates, etc. and I will get you
instructions on creating your own CA Certificate if you want to
experiment more.

Of course, you should also check out tinyCA too... It's probably pretty
similar (and has the ability to generate the CA Certificate itself). As
far as I could tell, tinyCA was a series of perl scripts, probably not
much different than you are likely to get from the Certificate Manager
modules except one is webmin and the other requires a wx/GTK+ or wx/GTK2
graphic interface.

I have installed the module and it is not able to 'create a CA'.

"This module allows you to manage SSL certificates installed on the 
system. With this module, self-signed certificates and certificate 
signing requests (CSR) can be generated. Certificates can be 
imported, exported, deleted and viewed. "

There is the ablility to specify a CA cert, but it only seems to be 
able to create self-signed certs.

So when I get home tomorrow, I am going to startup TinyCA2.

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!

No.  I did search through the webmin site looking for such an addin, 
and missed this one.

Thanks I will pull it down and give it a go!

Re: [webmin-l] Pop Email Server - Relay Issues

[<da...@so...>]

You can actually add the user's ISP router host name to the relays 
in particular if your users are coming in on dialup. The more secure 
alternative is to reconfigure the mailer to require authentication 
before sending mail.

Additionally, you have to advise your users to make sure that your 
mail IP block  is entered into their ISPs allowed relay list as most 
ISPs require port 25 blocking.

Hope that helps,
Dan

Have you had a look at the Certificate Manager module, available from
http://www.webmin.com/download/modules/certmgr.wbm.gz ? It can create a
CA and sign certificates, unlike the built-in Webmin 'SSL Encryption'
page which just generates a self-signed cert.

With MailScanner and sendmail, you can use the archive option in 
MailScanner. You can even refine the archival by domain or user.

With Postfix, it's as easy as setting the always_bcc config file option.

No idea about any other MTA/SMTP server.

I saw TinyCA, but where I found it (SOurceFroge?), it had not been 
touched since '04, so I shied away from it.

With you referencing it (you have been a great help to me, Craig), I 
did another search and see it is still active 
(http://tinyca.sm-zone.net/).  So I will look into it, but to use it 
I will have to start up X.  Well I guess I just have to choose a 
server to run it on...

Huh?  Gee they are using Apache which uses OpenSSL?  And how is the 
webmin/edit_ssl.cgi working?

Is this a case of RFC 1925 rule 6?  (Ross Callon is an old IETF 
friend of mine (both members of the IOOF in good standings)).

[webmin-l] Catch All Email Address

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

Is there a way I can setup a catch all email address on all emails? To be clear I want 
everyone who has an email to have all their email, outgoing and incoming archived. Is 
this possible?

there is a program called tinyCA which might prove useful to you Robert,
but I thought that I would chime in to say that a Certificate Server
function within Webmin would be way cool...managing a public html
directory with CRL's and managing CSR's

I don't know the licensing issues with openssl and assume that there are
some because Debian doesn't feel comfortable with them and cannot fathom
how openssl licensing might tie into webmin.

[webmin-l] SSLopen - CA functions

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

Is there any plugin module to perform SSLopen and CA functions.

Minimally I would like to replace

openssl req -newkey rsa:512 -x509 -nodes -out cert.pem - keyout key.pem

with a nice panel that allowed me to create a cert with content I 
want in the directory of my choosing.

The more OIDs supported the better.  At least those required for 
standard servers/apps.

PolicyConstraints and the like would be a nice touch!

You already have the webmin/edit_ssl.cgi in Webmin Configuration.  It 
does not seem like it would be much to  add a minimal cert creation module.

For fuller CA functions would openCA.org provide modules?

What would be really 'neat'  would be able to start my own 'CA'.  To 
create my own, self-signed root cert and use it to create certs for 
all of my webmin systems and general SSL certs.  I would then use 
whatever tool to migrate them to the proper system.  Then I would 
only need to install my root in my trusted root list and I am done.

Also would be nice for SSH as well.

I will probably wait to I get home (at IEEE 802 plenary in Denver

Ah Ha!

I could use my SSH connection to clean this all up, but it is working 
enough for now...

Re: [webmin-l] Host Is Down

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

That looks OK then ..
Does the same thing happen if the host is in this hung state you reported ?
Also, what happens if you setup a monitor in Webmin to ping 192.168.0.7 ?
