Yes, this can be done.. just do the following :

 - Go to the Webmin Users module
 - Click on LDAP Users and Groups next to the user's name
 - On the page that appears, change the 'Can edit module configuration?'
option to No.
 - Click Save

As you'll see, there are a bunch of other options on that page as well
for controlling exactly which LDAP users and groups the admin can
manage. Most modules have similar detailed access control pages..

Hey Jamie!  Ha, now I have Xandros  :)  Modules seem to have the right

Thank again Jamie.  On a side note, it's rare that I install webmin on 
unstable. But this is my personal desktop machine. Also, webmin is 
usually the FIRST thing I install before I upgrade to unstable. I was 
just in a big hurry this time and waited till now to do webmin.

[webmin-l] Webmin Users Issue

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

Hi Jamie,

I created a webmin user account only allowed to run the LDAP Users and
Group module.  I notice that they have the ability to change the
module's configuration ( in 1.180 anyway).  Is it possible to turn off
the Module Config option when the user uses this module?  This probably
should be a global option applied to all modules configured when setting
up a webmin user.

Thanks

Jamie, a bit of a blast from the past. Well I finally got the system upgraded 
to a version of bacula with mysql as the database backend. I also upgraded 
webmin (1.240) on the box at the same time, went looking for an updated 
bacula module, but seems sourceforge is having some issues... :-(

Click on the 3rd party modules link gives me:

    There are Currently

    'webadminmodules'@'10.5.1.117' (using password: YES) in

    It appears Sourceforge is having Mysql Issues.. Please Try back again 
    shortly...

New modules link gives me

So, I tried using the currently installed version of the module and got this

Re: [webmin-l] LDAP User's and Groups Module Duplicate Alias Issue

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

OK - well I would suppose that it is a local issue on my system since
the other system didn't have any issues after 1.240 or after updating to
1.244 either creating new or deleting or modifying user accounts.

FWIW - on the sambaPrimaryGroupSID - works great...thanks

When I get a chance, I will dump my ldap db and reload from ldif on my
home system.

Thanks - sorry for the noise

Re: [webmin-l] LDAP User's and Groups Module Duplicate Alias Issue

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

And I should have noted...modifications were indeed made (ldapsearch and
getent commands verified) but I did have to execute /etc/webmin/stop to
have a functional server.

I have installed 1.240 update on a client's server (where I am less apt
to fool around) just to test if the same thing occurs as they were at
1.230 and it was working except for the issue of sambaPrimaryGroupSID
that we discussed...

I think that they will all have gone home in another 2 hours or so and I
can test...Their setup though is similar to mine except I have removed
all the frills like before/after scripts, miscellaneous ou's and
attributes that don't relate to normal posix/samba stuff on mine.

Hi Craig,
Does this happen if you modify an LDAP user too, or only when adding or deleting?

I have to tell you Jamie, that I am having problems with both 1.240 and
1.244 and ldap_useradmin.

I can't tell you exactly what is happening but I will try to identify
what is going on. Here's what I did on my home server.

I had 1.230 and upgraded to 1.240. I upgraded to 1.244 development
version. Whenever I tried to add or delete an LDAP user account, the
system would go into a race where miniserve would go to 99% CPU and
memory usage would steadily climb. I went back to 1.240 and the same
thing occurred. I deleted /etc/webmin/ldap_useradmin/config and created
anew, minimal stuff (no before/after scripts no extra objectclasses
beyond sambaSamAccount and inetOrgPerson). Still had the same race
issues when adding or deleting an LDAP account.

I still had 1.230 on my computer so I changed directory and ran setup.sh
and I have no problems adding / deleting users. Left config exactly the
same and stopped webmin, changed to 1.240 and ran setup.sh. Again, the
race conditions returned whenever I added or deleted users.

I'm a bit stumped...I can turn logging on in openldap but I don't think
that is the issue. By the way, to stop the race condition, I simply
run /etc/webmin/stop and it stops and all goes quiet and curiously
enough, user is created or deleted so the 'race' seems to occur after
mostly completing task at hand...

Suggestions?

I have to tell you Jamie, that I am having problems with both 1.240 and
1.244 and ldap_useradmin.

I can't tell you exactly what is happening but I will try to identify
what is going on. Here's what I did on my home server.

I had 1.230 and upgraded to 1.240. I upgraded to 1.244 development
version. Whenever I tried to add or delete an LDAP user account, the
system would go into a race where miniserve would go to 99% CPU and
memory usage would steadily climb. I went back to 1.240 and the same
thing occurred. I deleted /etc/webmin/ldap_useradmin/config and created
anew, minimal stuff (no before/after scripts no extra objectclasses
beyond sambaSamAccount and inetOrgPerson). Still had the same race
issues when adding or deleting an LDAP account.

I still had 1.230 on my computer so I changed directory and ran setup.sh
and I have no problems adding / deleting users. Left config exactly the
same and stopped webmin, changed to 1.240 and ran setup.sh. Again, the
race conditions returned whenever I added or deleted users.

I'm a bit stumped...I can turn logging on in openldap but I don't think
that is the issue. By the way, to stop the race condition, I simply
run /etc/webmin/stop and it stops and all goes quiet and curiously
enough, user is created or deleted so the 'race' seems to occur after
mostly completing task at hand...

Suggestions?

Craig

I found a somewhat easier way I guess...

stop webmin

cd /opt/webmin-1.240 or cd /opt/webmin-1.244
./setup.sh

seems to work fine. I am now getting a race condition whenever I add or
delete ldap users. That doesn't necessarily mean it's webmin's fault
though, I haven't had time to get back to it. I originally thought it
was something you did in 1.244 but I don't think that is the
case...which is why I wanted to go back to 1.240.

Thanks

Hi Craig,
If you want to run two Webmins, it is best to do two separate tar.gz installs to different directories. Naturally each will need to have their own config and log directories too. You can either run them on different ports, or stop and start them so that only one runs at a time ..

OK - really dumb question here...

If I have webmin-1.240 & webmin1.244 both installed in /opt and I want
to switch back to 1.240 to check something, I stopped webmin,
edited /etc/webmin/miniserv.conf and changed the 2 references back to
1.240 but when I started webmin again, it still reports 1.244 in 'ps
aux'  Is there a way to switch between versions?

Thanks

Re: [webmin-l] Virtualmin Bandwidth

[Patrick v. E. <pat...@gm...>]

Hi Jamie,

This night I removed all of the alias servers, added them again (the 
user wanted the alias domains as ServerAliases instead of 
Redirect/frame) and now the bandwidth usage seems to be ok! The latest 
numbers I got are:

08/11 11:05 1249 + 1137 = 2385
08/11 12:06 1362 + 1138 = 2499
08/11 13:14 1380 + 1140 = 2519
08/11 15:29 1467 + 1142 = 2608

I have no idea what went wrong and what fixed it, but I'm glad 
everything is back to normal... Thank you for your support and for 
Webmin/Virtualmin!

Bye,

Patrick

Re: [webmin-l] debian unstable install

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

Hi Rodney,
This can happen is the /etc/issue file on your system doesn't contain a version number. The work-around is to edit /etc/issue and change the testing/unstable text to 3.1 , and then re-install Webmin.

When I try to install webmin, it seems to get picked up as a "generic

Yes, it is a completely different website. The only 'connection' between

I'm not completely sure what you mean, but on the bandwidth usage page, 
there are two blue bars for both domains which is listed as 'Website 
traffic' at the bottom. Those bars are the ones which seem to advance at 
the same pace.

Well, the problem is: the parent and the sub-server point to different
web sites with different domain names. The chance that both web sites
would get _exactly_ the same traffic over a longer period would be
extremely small, so I'm thinking the traffic for one site is also
added to the traffic of the other...
