Hi Grant,
What output do you get if you run the command  echo $?  after the ping completes?

Re: [webmin-l] No login records

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

Hi,
Users logging into to NIS clients will not show up here, as it only lists=
 logins to the system Webmin is running on. This is because the user list=
 is taken from the 'last' command output, which reads the local wtmp file=
.

As far as I know, there is no way of listing logins to all NIS client sys=
tems from a single command.

Hi All!

I am using Webmin-1.260 on Redhat-8 server with NIS
and NFS. In the user & group tab of System section,
when I click on the "Show login records", it displays
no login records. How to enable this?

Here by user I mean the NIS users who login to the
system from different clients managed by this server.

Thanks!

Thanks for pointing this out .. that is really a bug, as 'Edit Config
File' page is not respecting your chroot settings.

That is correct - all the paths in named.conf are relative to the chroot
directory.

To do this, click on the Module Config link and set the 'Add new zones
to file' option to /etc/named.custom

Re: [webmin-l] Host Is Down

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

Hi Grant,
On FreeBSD, Webmin uses the command

ping -c 1 -t 1 192.168.0.7

to check the host, and then looks at it's exit status. If it is exiting
with status 0 (meaning OK) even when the host is down, then this is a
problem ..

[webmin-l] Questions on DNS Server management

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

I have just used Webmin to add some subzones for testing purposes and 
I discovered some behaviour that I found 'interesting'.

First, I am running Bind 9.2.4 on Centos 4.2.  It is running Chrooted.

I am logged into Webmin as root

If I select 'edit Config file', it brings up /etc/named.conf instead 
of /var/named/chroot/etc/named.conf

When I created a new master zone, it put the zone file in 
/var/named/chroot/var/named (gee, I thought it was suppose to go into 
/var/named/chroot/etc?  Of course I may have this one wrong).  But in 
named.conf (and it did edit the one in /var/named/chroot/etc it 
specified the file location as: /var/named/zone.file, not 
/var/named/chroot/var/named/...

Next I have put all of my zone file definitions in named.custom and 
have a include "/etc/named.custom" in named.conf (which is really in 
/var/named/chroot/etc/).  I would really like to have all these added 
zones also go into named.custom.

Re: [webmin-l] Host Is Down

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

I suppose the next time the server to be monitored goes down, I can try 
pinging it and sending you the output, but I hope it does not happen!

Here is the ping results from the server running the ping command to the 
server to be monitored, from the command line of course.

Yes, FreeBSD  5.4

defiant# ping -c 1 192.168.0.7
PING 192.168.0.7 (192.168.0.7): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 192.168.0.7: icmp_seq=0 ttl=64 time=0.325 ms

--- 192.168.0.7 ping statistics ---
1 packets transmitted, 1 packets received, 0% packet loss

RE: [webmin-l] Windos install

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

That is odd - it certainly should be able to.
Which version of Webmin are you trying to install there? If it is not
the latest, you should try 1.260. If even that fails, try the 1.263
version from http://www.webmin.com/devel/zips/webmin-1.263.zip

Re: [webmin-l] Host Is Down

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

Webmin doesn't actually use the output from the ping command - instead,
it either checks the exit status of the ping command (0 for success or 1
for failure), or sends its own UDP ping packets.

By the way, which OS are you using there? It is FreeBSD, right?

Re: [webmin-l] Host Is Down

'Host is down" shows up when I do I ping to the server being monitored.

What I am thinking is ...  webmin is looking for a blank response,e but 
instead is getting "Host is Down"

Yes, the restore function uses the same code as normal alias creation,
both of which run 'newaliases'. At least, they do in the most recent
version of Virtualmin (2.610).

It really should work actually - so this is definately a bug.
Perhaps I could login to your server myself to see what is happening?

Are you just moving Virtualmin domains with the backup/restore function?
If so, this should work fine.

Hi Grant,
Where is this 'Host is down' message showing up in Webmin exactly?
Also, what happens if you run a command like :

ping -c 1 the.host.address

from the Unix shell prompt?

They were created by using only the 'Restore' function. Does the 
'Restore' function run newaliases? This was where what appeared in the 
aliases file was not activated. And yes, this was for mailboxes 
forwarded to multiple accounts, so everything I'm talking about is with 
regards to the aliases file/tables on a CentOS/Sendmail system.

Obviously, I have never had a problem when creating directly within 
Virtualmin for an existing or new account.

Again, this was while moving accounts from one server to another. You 
had asked me to let you know if I found any surprises. But, one might 
argue that even on the same machine, one could backup a virtuser, delete 
everything to do with that account and then restore that backup. If it 
were a complete delete, the aliases would be gone, upon restore it looks 
like the aliases are created, but newaliases not run?

Yeah, I know I'm outside of the scope of the intention of the 
backup/restore functions.. but darn.. if it is so close to working 
perfectly, this is a godsend.

Another question. Can you think of anything that would be broken within 
Webmin when moving to an upgraded server? For instance CentOS 3.x to 
CentOS 4.x, when I'm using the same basic directory/storage layouts.

Best,
John Hinton

[webmin-l] Host Is Down

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

Hi all,

I am having troubles with a server, and have tried to add a monitor in the 
System and Server status Module.

The system being monitored is freezing solid. I can PING it but instead of 
just loosing packets, I am getting a "Host is Donw" message which I think is 
fooling the script .... I am not getting emails.

Has anyone some experience with this ? Can I pick your brains!

Thanks all,

Here is the /etc/webmin/status/nnnnnnn.serv file:

Hi John,
That is quite surprising, as Virtualmin does run newaliases after every
alias is created or modified. However, there was one thing I didn't
understand about your bug report - all Virtualmin mail aliases have an
entry in /etc/mail/virtusertable , and possibly one in /etc/aliases too
in forwarding to multiple destinations.

Did you create these aliases using only the Virtualmin module?

I had to reboot.  After that Webmin worked. ??? sigh.

SSL Webmin did not.  I knew that OpenSSL was installed, I was using 
it already for Scalix admin.  So I just needed Net:SSLeay

yum install perl-Net-SSLeay

And I am up and running.

As I look at webmin, I might be REALLY happy with it to ease my way.

Re: [webmin-l] user permissions

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

I pointed out that was possible... not easy ;)

the question is... why do you need to give your users ssh access? Then, 
from there we can look for the best way to go...

for webhosting I don't see any need at all to give ssh access... more over 
when we have webmin/usermin/virtualmin!!!!... that gives us a very nice 
ACL!

if you still need a jail or chroot.. then you need to decide which tools 
your users can have... and you can replicate the directory structure of 
your binaries and libraries under /home/myuser/ (kind of /home/myuser/bin, 
/home/myuser/local/bin, /home/myuser/local/lib, and so on, plus 
/home/myuser/etc), and then you hard link the binaries and libraries you 
need... (kind of ln /bin/binary.prog /home/myuser/bin/). (perhaps a better 
way is to compile from source the binaries you need... indicating a path 
of /skell as the main directory in the ./Configure of each compilation... 
and then you can directly do something like cp -al /skell /home/myuser/) 
yes.. I know.. we could still have problems with some libraries!!!!.. but 
it should work for some basic ones, and probably it should be possible to 
create something that would allow some basic functioning for irc bots, and 
manipulating some cgi-bin scripts from the shell

in any case..... before you do anything, you do need to know why you want 
to give your users ssh access.... even with chroot, it's easier to find 
holes and crack root from a shell!... in which case at least they will be 
able to change the libraries and binaries (and because they are hard 
linked.. then it changes in the whole server).. and eventually even free 
themselves from the jail...

In the other hand... if you are in a situation where your users need to 
have access to a shell... and your main concern is that they should not be 
able to be around the homes of other users... well... that's why we have 
permissions ;) (modes)

Cheers!
Marcos

Jailing an SSH login is very tricky - even though any process can theoret=

 into a lot of problems, as the programs it runs (like ls and cp) will no=

hmmm...and it has worked on other CentOS 4.2 systems...that is strange.

Personally, I wouldn't install that way but that is a personal
preference. I generally install from tarballs - even though the last 2
or 3 versions of tarball fail to install the redhat sysV script (and so
I might change my ways).

If you install webmin from 'dag' repository, you automatically get
perl-Net-SSLeay and any other dependencies installed (I don't really any
other dependencies) and dag repository will take care of updates each
time you yum update - which is probably the best of all worlds -
especially since the dag repository has fixed the issues he had with
updates in his first few webmin packages.

anyway...this may be useful
# rpm -q \
--whatprovides /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.5/Authen/SASL/Perl.pm
perl-Authen-SASL-2.09-1.2.el4.rf

try 'yum install perl-Authen-SASL'

[webmin-l] Virtualmin Backup and Restore

[John H. <web...@ew...>]

Jamie,

Using the backup and restore functions to move hosting accounts....

I think I found one small bug that could be considered a bug in the 
script as a whole. I have reproduced this problem a total of one time 
and don't know yet if this was some sort of exception.

If the domain being transferred has any aliased email addresses in the 
aliases table, not the virtusertable, it seems that newaliases is not 
run? Opening the 'Edit Mail Aliases' module within Virtualmin, selecting 
the alias which is already written and saving it corrects the issue. I 
would imagine doing the same from the Sendmail Aliases module would have 
the same results but I haven't tried that.... yet.

I suppose this could possibly even be an issue when restoring an account 
on the same machine, if in fact the alias had been removed and 
newaliases run?

Reporting in on my successes as requested sir!

Best and Thanks,
John Hinton
