[webmin-l] Invalid CPAN modules URL

[Suspect <pr...@re...>]

When attempting to use the Webmin Perl Modules section to
install dbi and dbd::mysql, (or any other perl module for
that matter) I get the error: "Invalid CPAN modules URL"

I've checked the module config which points to:

http://www.cpan.org/authors/id

This happens to be an open directory. Was Webmin expecting
something else?


-- 
find / -name "*base*" -user your -print |xargs 'chown us'

[webmin-l] BIND-Module and Trustix 2.2

[<ma...@an...>]

Hallo All,

I've problem with the BIND-Module of Webmin (1.230) running on Trustix 2.2.
There is always the button "Start Name Server" even if BIND is already
running. If BIND isn't running I can start it by clicking this button. If
BIND is already running and I click on the button, nothing happens. (I think
in the background BIND says that it's already running)

I've checked if webmin "knows" the right path to the PID-File of BIND. But
the path was correct.

Does anyone know the solution or at least have an idea what could be the
problem.

Thanks

Mat

Jamie,
OK I've updated that module, and edited that setting and unfortunately it
still comes up with the same error?
Cheers
Rob

Re: [webmin-l] Re: Usermin : Change Password Home Dir Required?

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

Ok, try installing the updated version from: 

http://www.webmin.com/uupdates/changepass-1.160-1.wbm.gz

and then editing that same config file, and changing the mailbox=1 line
to mailbox=0

And ours -- to be as succinct as can be -- is that if Postfix's author

Re: [webmin-l] Re: Usermin : Change Password Home Dir Required?

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

Ok, I think I know what the problem is now..
The module is attempting to also update the MySQL and mailbox passwords
for the user, but this fails because it is calling the Usermin MySQL and
Read Mail modules, which assume the user has a home directory!

You may be able to solve this by editing /etc/usermin/changepass/config
and changing the mysql=1 line to mysql=0 .

Yes, the standard Webmin BIND module can handle both 8 and 9.

Yes, you can do this too.. you could have one view for internal clients and
one for external, and have the same zone in each with different addresses.

Re: [webmin-l] Private DNS server

[<cam...@cn...>]

Jamie,

Wow, the view thing is totally new to me. I have the old O'Reilly. I believe my
Tao boxes have Bind 9 as a default.

I assume you are talking about the main bind webmin module and not the bind 9
webmin module, so I'll take a look tomorrow when I get back to work.

Can my view zones on this new server be the same zones as those on the public
DNS servers? Can I have my cnpapers.com zone published to the public ethernet on
my public DNS servers with my 216.30.205.* addresses and redefined it on the
private DNS server as 10.* addresses? Have I described this as you mean it?

Could you correct me if I have stated any of this inaccurately, please?

Thanks for Webmin, the fast reply, and the knowledge you distribute so frequently.

Re: [webmin-l] Private DNS server

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

Hi Stewart,
The best way to set this up would be to install BIND version 9, which has support for views. A view is a set of domains that are only visible to certain clients, such as those on the 10.* network.

You can set this up completely from within Webmin's BIND module..

There are two places to do an update for a slave-zone and you probably 
find the wrong one. Please install the the slave-server with all 
settings you need and then go back to the main page of the bind-module 
and restart the bind-service completely.

It would be handy for you if you would open up a console and do a "tail 
-f /path/to/syslog" to actually see if the zone is being taken or not.

I have a Debian Sarge Bind9 installed which has a slave-zone from a 
Windows DNS-Server which is the primary one without any problems.

[webmin-l] bind8 module: getting a zone transfer from a non-bind server

[Thomas C. <icr...@ya...>]

Hello all,

I've just downloaded the most recent version of
webmin-minimal and the bind8 module.

I need to set up a slave zone that gets its
information from a old non-bind server. This old
server doesn't know anything about keys and secure
communications. When I try a forced update I get the
error about the rndc not being setup. Is there an
option somewhere that I can set to use a non-secure
transfer or other hack I might use?

I tried an older version of webmin some time ago and I
thought I had gotten a transfer to work.

[webmin-l] Private DNS server

[Steve C. <cam...@cn...>]

I'd like to setup a DNS server just for my servers behind our firewalls. I =
would like this server to provide behind-the-firewall addresses so our serv=
ers wouldn't have to rely on the public DNS servers which we also run, elim=
inating host file entries and resolving some requests that don't use the ho=
st file, and to avoid going out and back in through our firewalls for our o=
wn requests.

Are there any suggestions (gotchas) on what might be useful when setting th=
is up through Webmin? I only want our servers to consult the public DNS ser=
vers for any domains not owned by us, but keep all requests for our domains=
 on our 10.0.0 network.

I know this is a common setup and is probably not going to cause me any pro=
blems, but I would like to know mostly of any Webmin things that I need to =
be aware of as I go through the setup. I plan on changing all of the resolv=
.conf files on the servers, adding this new server to the top, and mostly j=
ust adding the master domain and reverse files from the real public servers=
, and then changing the IPs. I do not want any transfers to or from this ne=

[webmin-l] Re: Usermin : Change Password Home Dir Required?

[Rob T. <wel...@gm...>]

Please ignore the orginal error message as I've edited some of the
messages for my domain. But the real default usermin error message is
....

Failed to change password : Failed to create /home/{user id}/.usermin
: No such file or directory

Now even though our users don't have home directories they do have
them set under their account. Confusing I know and not very tidy but
thats the way it used to work. Also, just to highlight again, the
password does in fact get changed even though this message is
displayed. I've set the change password module to use pam instead of
direct file manipulation if that makes any difference.

[webmin-l] Re: Usermin : Change Password Home Dir Required?

[Rob T. <wel...@gm...>]

Hi Jamie,
Yes I'm using the standard Change Passwords module in 1.160. I can
also confirm that it happens in 1.150 too but as my colleague didn't
tell me users were getting this failure message it could also be
happening in previous releases.

Cheers for your help on this and the effort you put into Webmin and
Usermin, they are really great tools.

Re: [webmin-l] Usermin : Change Password Home Dir Required?

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

Hi Rob,
This may be a bug that has crept into the 1.160 release of Usermin..
Are you using the Change Passwords module to do the password change,
or some other module?

[webmin-l] Usermin : Change Password Home Dir Required?

[Rob T. <wel...@gm...>]

Hi,
Been using Usermin for a few years now to allow users to change their
password on our Linux-Samba domain and its been working perfectly.
However I've just noticed that when using the latest version 1.160
that we are getting a failed message ....
Failed to change {domain name} domain password : Failed to create
/home/{userid}/.usermin : No such file or directory
The password is changed ok. I've tracked this down to the fact that
our users don't have home directories. It looks as though Usermin
wants to create a .usermin/mailbox in their home directory. Is this
behaviour by design and can we disable it in some way? I'm also not
sure which version of Usermin this started happening as someone else
has been managing the box and the upgrades and didn't notice it.
If this can't be configured then I guess my option is create the users
home directories.
Cheers
Rob

RE: [webmin-l] Unable to use SSH/Telnet outside of network

[Bubba C. <ca...@wi...>]

Everything is default.  I have a Red Hat 9.0 server and it works fine.
I am able to telnet to this server as long as I'm inside my building on
the same network.

If I want to allow telnet access from any IP#, what should my files look
like?

Thanks

James

Hello James,

This could be so many things that you are going to have to reach deeper
and 
give some more details.

Some things it could be:
1) iptables ruleset (/etc/sysconfig/iptables)
2) external firewall
3) /etc/hosts.allow /etc/hosts.deny
4) routing table entries

Please expand. My default RedHat installs have never restricted me this 
way, though it could be a result of the more secure extensions in the
newer 
RedHat code. BTW, I know you said Fedora, but Fedora is the Beta proving

ground for future RedHat releases.

I'm unable to use the SSH/Telnet program outside of my local network.  I
know this is probably a setting inside my Red Hat ES 4.0, but was hoping
someone could tell me what to change in Webmin to get this to work.  

Thank you very much in advance,

Thanks for pointing that out. The Webmin RPM already does this, and the
Usermin RPM will too in the next release..

[webmin-l] RPM for usermin overwriter /etc/pam.d/usermin

[Klaus S. <Kla...@ph...>]

Hello,

the usermin RPM always overwrites the /etc/pam.d/usermin file and destroy's 
local changes to it (e.g. ldap entrys). So please mark /etc/pam.d/usermin as 
a config file in the SPEC File.

Sincerly,

RE: [webmin-l] Configure Webmin with PAM Authentication

[<Dir...@fu...>]

Hi,

i use a SuSE SLES 9 and they offer a pam_unix2.conf, which itself
uses ldap as you can see here. Moreover we also tried pam_ldap.so=20
directly and logging on via shell or samba /w ldap works fine.
But logging in via webmin only requires a valid user.
Here's my config for webmin. What is wrong?

hgest3201:~ # cat /etc/security/pam_unix2.conf
# pam_unix2 config file
#
# This file contains options for the pam_unix2.so module.
# It contains a list of options for every type of management group,
# which will be used for authentication, account management and
# password management. Not all options will be used from all types of
# management groups.
#
# At first, pam_unix2 will read this file and then uses the local
# options. Not all options can be set her global.
#
# Allowed options are:
#
# debug                 (account, auth, password, session)
# nullok                (auth)
# md5                   (password)
# bigcrypt              (password)
# blowfish              (password)
# crypt_rounds=3DXX
# none                  (session)
# trace                 (session)
# call_modules=3Dx,y,z    (account, auth, password)
#
#  Example:
#  auth:        nullok
#  account:
#  password:    nullok blowfish crypt_rounds=3D8
#  session:     none
#
auth:           use_ldap
account:        use_ldap
password:       md5
session:        none use_ldap
