Re: [webmin-l] Creating Samba Machine Account

I'm re-posting this hoping for an answer. Figured it got lost in all the 
other excitement the first time I posted it.

Thanks

Find the rndc key on the winders box. LQQk at the file name. Look at the 
rndc call in the named.conf file on the Linux box and LQQk at the file 
name. Sometimes it is rndc-key, sometimes rndckey, etc.

Did it ever work for you? I get the same thing and once upon a time it worked. What OS 
are you runing. I'm running a Fedora Core 3.

[webmin-l] can't get bind within Webmin to do a zone transfer from DNS on Windows

[Dale-List <li...@eh...>]

Hello,

I have been pulling what is left of my hair out here :)

Currently our primary DNS is running on a windows box using MS DNS. I am 
trying to get our secondary setup on a Linux box running BIND and 
Webmin. I have allowed the IP of our Linux box in the windows DNS setup 
to do a zone transfer, yet I get the following error when I do a force 
update from within the bind module in Webmin:

NDC command failed: rndc: connect failed: connection refused

No entries in the system logs. I am not sure where to check from here. I 
do not believe there are any firewall issues involved here (although I 
could be very wrong).

Thanks

I rebooted the box just to make sure. Would it matter if my webmin was running on another port say 443. I have another machine running webmin @ 443 and it has the same problem.
 
Am I doing something wrong?

Your browser does not support cookies, which are required for this web server to work in session authentication mode
Again when I tried the second method, i.e just typing the IP Address in the URL without passing the username/password, getting the login screen and then typing the complete URL with username/password, it works fine. How is it that it is able to set cookies when only the IP Address is entered https://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:10000 and not with the complete URL https://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:10000/session_login.cgi?user=adminamp;pass=xxxxxxamp;log_account=10?

Subj: Re: [webmin-l] Webmin Login Help
Date: Tue 18 Oct 2005 5:09 am

Thanks a lot for the help. It worked fine for me. Another question is the first time I click the link
https://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:10000/session_login.cgi?user=adminamp;pass=xxxxxxamp;log_account=10
, it comes up with an error saying 
The page cannot be displayed There is a problem with the page you are trying to reach and it cannot be displayed.
But if I just give the link https://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:10000 and hit enter, it shows the login page which is fine. But after that clic k the above url with the username and password it works just fine.

What is the reason it doesn't work initially ? Does it need to set any cookies? Why does it work the second method. Any help or suggestion is highly appreciated.

Matt

https://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:10000/session_login.cgi?user=adminamp;pass=xxxxxxamp;log_account=10

Now I want to able to control which page is loaded by default
depending on the value of log_account, for eg: if log_account=10, I
want it to load Networking page and if log_account=20, I want it to
load System page. Can I check the value of log_account or any other
variable I pass? So can anyone explain how webmin's login process
works and what file is executed after the login button on
session_login.cgi has been clicked?

You should be able to specify the page to go to after login already, by
adding a URL parameter like :

amp;page=/%3Fcat%3Dsystem

to go to the system category.

Which MTA module?  Sendmail, Postfix, QMail?

Using the Postfix module, I see those exact options under the Module
Config link.  :)

Re: [webmin-l] Fetchmail Module - No Mailservers Have Been Specified

[Jason S. <jas...@gm...>]

The problem has been reported.

I've also upgraded perl in the production environment to version 5.8.7
and the problem's been solved.

(I also had to go & change owership on all of the previously created
~/.usermin directories & their subdirectories because they had all
been created by the root user and Usermin wasn't able to modify them,
since everything's being done by the correct user now.)

All in all, though, issue solved. Hopefully Apple acts on my bug report.

You can actually delete that file now, as once Webmin has used it to
detect the OS it is not needed anymore. However, keeping it around isn't
likely to cause any problems ..

RE: [webmin-l] no more recursive clients: quota reached

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

OK in case anyone is following this I mis-spoke previosuly when I sai that the 
recursion no; option would work. It did but it wouldn't let any mail go out from my 
box either. I found something somewhere that stated that this was related to doing DNS 
lookups outside my box and I have have a newtork of servers that are pointed at this 
boxes DNS as a DNS server. The fix, or at least so I think so far, was to add the 
following under options along with all the IPs from my other boxes:

        allow-recursion { 192.168.10.111; };

Haven't seen a message yet I hope this works.

If anyone is interested I turned recursion off by using the following:

options { 
recursion no; 
}

I have no idea what the results to this will be but at least it's working.

Ok, I cp /etc/redhat-release to /etc/centos-release and the network
configuration module is now present.  :-)

But what impact will that have on updates, etc., if any, to Centos?????

Actually, I thought of a better solution - just copy /etc/redhat-release
to /etc/centos-release , go back to the operating system page, check the
'Use detected operating system' box and click Save.

Re: [webmin-l] Fetchmail Module - No Mailservers Have Been Specified

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

Hi Jason,
I agree, this is quite a serious Perl bug.. It would break many
functions in Webmin, and open up a lot of security holes! Usermin would
be even worse, all user operations (even in modules like the file
manager) would be done as root!

You might want to report this to Apple ..

[webmin-l] webmin upgrade

[Cory <co...@di...>]

I have several servers setup either running Fedora Care 3 or Mepis =
Migrationserver.  When I go into webmin and try to upgrade  to 1.240 =
from either 1.210 or 1.230 previous.  I get an error webmin cant =
downgrade.  No I am choosing to upgrade from www.webmin.com. =20

=20

I also get the same problem when I click on update from webmin.com  well =
not the downgrade error but it times out and want update.

=20

Is there a way to fix this.

=20

Thanks

Re: [webmin-l] Fetchmail Module - No Mailservers Have Been Specified

[Jason S. <jas...@gm...>]

I agree. I upgraded the test environment of OS X to version 10.4.2
(which includes a newer version of Perl among other stuff) and the
cron jobs are created as the correct user.

What's on the machine is the version of Perl shipped with Panther.
This will affect, then, everyone using Webmin/Usermin with OS X 10.3.9
or earlier. I can't yet upgrade the production environment to anything
later than 10.3.9, because there are some other outstanding issues
with 10.4 and later versions (which I'm hoping will be addressed in
10.4.3 but that's a separate issue.)

I guess, in the meantime, I will look into upgrading Perl on the copy
of OS X that I have.

Thanks for your time & assistance.

Hi Jason,
That would be very useful, as clearly something is behaving differently
on OSX from other operating systems like Linux. You better send me the
login details off-list though :-)

Hi Jamie,

I manually changed the OS from CentOS 4 to CentOS 4.2 as you suggested
earlier. The /etc/webmin/config file is as above except os_version=4.2.

Re: [webmin-l] Fetchmail Module - No Mailservers Have Been Specified

I have a brand new install of OS X Server on a test machine. I could give
you full root access to everything on the test box if it'd help (root login=
,
SSH access, Webmin, Usermin, etc.) I'm not too worried because it's only a
test machine anyway and I can erase everything once done. :-)

Re: [webmin-l] Fetchmail Module - No Mailservers Have Been Specified

[Jason S. <jas...@gm...>]

Nope. I enabled the module for Usermin and it displayed root's crontab
(I recognized it immediately because mine is significantly different.)
I created a new entry, then checked & it was also created in root's
crontab.

Interestingly, it didn't display _all_ of root's crontab. Things like
/usr/libexec/atrun and periodic daily, weekly, monthly were not
listed.

Yes, I definately will..

The problem with the Network Configuration module is that it is only
supported on certain operating systems, like Redhat and CentOS. If
Webmin cannot detect your OS properly, the module will not appear.

If you switched the OS, make sure it is correctly displayed on Webmin's
main menu - it should be displayed as 'CentOS 4.2'. Also, make sure that
in the /etc/webmin/config file, there are lines like :

os_type=redhat-linux
os_version=10.0
real_os_type=CentOS Linux
real_os_version=4.2

Re: [webmin-l] Fetchmail Module - No Mailservers Have Been Specified

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

Hmm .. perhaps there is a Usermin bug that only appears on OSX.
If you use the Scheduled Cron Jobs module to create a job, does it get
correctly run as the logged-in Usermin user?

Thanks again John,

Networking Configuration is not in the list for root or any other user.

Maybe Jamie can fix it in a later release.

<important info for Jamie here>

I asked Johnny Hughes about the release version file. It is official 
that using redhat-release is OK with Redhat. The file just can't contain 
any reference to redhat. So, at least for now, it looks like CentOS will 
use redhat-release in /etc.

Whitebox did use their own release file. I wonder if that's still 
hanging around? wbel-release or whitebox-release.. I don't remember the 
name. I guess that could be causing issues?

Beyond that, Jamie would best know how to handle this as obviously he 
knows Webmin inside and out.

Do check your ACL list though, just to be sure the module didn't somehow 
get turned off for whatever user you operate under.

And thanks again to Jamie for supporting these other OS's. I'm sure it's 
getting to be quite a list!

Best,
John Hinton
