Another thing you might want to try (if it's not too much effort) is
downloading and compiling Perl manually, rather than using the FreeBSD
packaged version. I believe that someone reported success with this ..

No, that did not work either. In any case, I had already tried to
configure Webmin not to use SSL, although I do not know why that would
cause Perl to core dump.

There should be some way to analyse this, but it is obviously beyond my
capabilities.

All of my other Perl programs run fine, I just cannot decipher what is
wrong here.

Actually, I just realized that this is already possible. On the module's
access control page, you can set a directory that backups are limited
to. The only catch is that the user to write backups as must be set to
'root' , to reflect the fact that scheduled backups are always done as
root.

Fair enough... but it seems that you could restrict the output 
directories the same way you do for the directories for upload/download 
and file browsing.

Yes, there is a FAQ at http://www.webmin.com/faq.html .
However, I'm not sure yet if this solution actually works .. I have
never actually seen it myself, only heard of it from users.

At the moment, it is not possible for ordinary users to setup MySQL
backups. The reason is that this all scheduled backups are done as root,
and allowing any user to setup his own would let potentially un-trusted
users write to any file on the system with root privileges .. which
would be a serious security hole.

Re: [webmin-l] Unable to start Webmin

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

Hi Gerard,
Another thing you could try is turning off SSL and PAM in Webmin. This can be done by editing the file /etc/webmin/minisev.conf and adding the lines:

ssl=0
no_pam=1

Then trying to start it with 

/etc/webmin/start

I have updated my ports and run 'portmanager' to insure that 
everything was up to date. From what I can tell, there are no 
missing modules that Webmin would need.

What I do not understand is why Perl is core dumping. I have the 
perl.core dump file, but I have no idea what to do with it.

I am at a complete loss as to what to do next. I am not about to 
dump my system and start over. I spent too much time getting my 
mail server, etc. up and running.

Hi Gerard,
I have seen this problem reported once or twice before, always on FreeBSD. I beleive the solution is to make sure you are running the latest version of Perl, and that any modules that Webmin uses (like Net::SSLeay and Authen::PAM) are up to date.

Gerard,

I had a similar issue a while back installing some RAID controller software 
on FreeBSD 4.10.

I tried, and tried, and tried, ... to get an answer on what causes 
"Segmentation" fault(s).

Noone worth noting had an answer that I would consider consise or reliable. 
It is still a mystery to me to this day.

The closest answer I got that made any sense at all was a bad memory stick - 
even that sounded flakey.

I hope you have better luck than I did.

Hi Christer,
There should be an option on the Module Config page to turn on a button =
for
deleting all mail in a mailbox. Failing that, you could just delete the
actual mail file manually.

To prevent masses of mail from your cron jobs in future, enter the =
command
as :

/users/user/sites/xxx.php >/dev/null 2>&1

You shouldn't need to, assuming that Webmin wasn't running under Apache
in the first place (which is not the default setup). However, make sure
that Webmin is actually running - you can restart it by logging in as
root via SSH or at the console and running :

/etc/webmin/stop
/etc/webmin/start

Re: [webmin-l] wish for read-mail in usermin

[Alan D. <We...@Om...>]

I agree this would be a great addition to Usermin.  It is one of the
first and most heavily downloaded plugins to SquirrelMail, so that would
be a great place to see how it is done.  They do use JavaScript along
with encrypted persistent cookies to store the drafts:

Re: [webmin-l] wish for read-mail in usermin

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

no.. no idea... I was looking at it from the user's perspective ;)

I can tell you that my old Dell Latitude XPi CD laptop (Pentium 1 150MHz,
32MB ram, win 98 second edition using IE 6.0) can handle it without
problems.

Once I'm back at home.. I will consult with a friend that works with java
a lot :)

Happy Holidays!

That would be cool ... any idea how gmail implements it though? My guess is some fairly heavy use of Javascript and AJAX, which I generally try to avoid in Webmin/Usermin.

being on "the road" for the last week... I was using usermin a lot to read
my mail.... and also reading my gmail account...

one very nice feature from gmail is the "autosave" draft every so often...
I think it would make an incredible good addition for the read mail module
in usermin/webmin/virtualmin...

RE: [webmin-l] Mail server

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

check the whois for your ip... it will tell you which DNS it uses for
resolution!!!!.... you will probably need to ask your service provider to
change the dns servers for that ip... or perhaps they will dor the reverse
for you (in their dns servers)

Cheers!

(no idea how to setup msoutlook for text only.. but I do assume that it
