Re: [webmin-l] Webmin sponsorship by OpenCountry

[Joe C. <jo...@sw...>]

I know I'm not the one this was directed at, but I'll comment anyway, 
because I think a couple of points are relevant:

Sponsorships like this have happened in the past for Webmin (Caldera and 
MSCLinux).  Webmin came out the other side stronger, and with Jamie 
still firmly in control.

Webmin is Jamie and Jamie is Webmin.  There is no one else who could 
fork Webmin with any success.  The momentum is behind the core Webmin, 
and Jamie is so much faster/better than any other developer in the 
Webmin community (I say this without hesitation, and I'm one of those 
developers, and have been coding for Webmin for over five years...but 
there's just no comparison between myself and Jamie).

Just some thoughts...

Re: [webmin-l] Webmin sponsorship by OpenCountry

[Barry <we...@i1...>]

Hi Jamie -

This is interesting news as I have met Michael Grove personally though
various non-Linux related Entrepreneur activities in Silicon Valley. His
company is intriguing to me, and so is webmin, given my experience at
the early stages of Cobalt Networks managing the international versions
of the products.

I wonder if you are aware of, and care to comment on why this type of
positive announcement can flow out of the association of a pure OS
product with a money making organization, while your countrymates at
Miro nearly simultaneously so botched a similar transaction with Mambo
(now called joomla) that it led to a project fork.

Best,

Barry

[webmin-l] Webmin / SSL Certificate issue (Opening)

[<dav...@da...>]

I am running 1.220-1, and had to upgrade the Chained SSL cert on the system
this week, the cert is from ChainedSSL.

The new cert gives an error saying "can not read file" and the webmin
refuses to load.  If I replace the cert with the old version (expired)
webmin works fine.

The Certificate is already installed for Apache and works 100%.

Any idea why?

Subject: [webmin-l] Webmin sponsorship by OpenCountry

Hi Webmin users,

I'm glad to announce that the development of Webmin is now being 
sponsored by Open Country.  This will allow me to concentrate more on 
core Webmin development, and should result in a faster pace of 
development, new features and hopefully fewer bugs.

There will be no change to the licensing or availability of Webmin, and 
development will still continue in the same way and direction that it 
has up to now.

Open Country is a Silicon Valley company that does systems management 
solutions for the enterprise.  Its products complement Webmin and are 
oriented towards large installation systems management.  As a Webmin 
user, you should find them interesting and useful.

I'd like to thank Open Country for their sponsorship and for their 
commitment to open source software.  More details on the sponsorship can
be found at: http://www.webmin.com/index9.html  You can find more out
about them at Open Country's website http://www.opencountry.com

You need to chroot the users into their home directory. How you do that 
depends on which FTP daemon you're using.

Re: [webmin-l] Creating new users with limited directory and views

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

MessageWhat ftp server are you using -ProFTPd, wu ftp war ???

The webmin module for ProFTPd has an option to limit users to thier home =
dir only. by using a tilde ~

what is does is add the option=20

DefaultRoot ~

Which tells proftpd to no allow users to exit thier root (home) =
directory.

allowing access to a poorly configured ftp server is server suicide ... =
A good start would be to read, and reread the ftp server docs!

Good Luck,

Re: [webmin-l] UID in place of username follow-up

Ok .. in the next version of Webmin, I will use user:1000 in the command
for getting the running processes. At least, on systems like Fedora 3
and above which support it..

Hi Jamie

I don't know if you remember the thread about UID in place of username.
bugzilla have responded.

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=166431

seems there is a way round getting the username

testing with ps -eo user:20,group,pid,args (took a few tests to get some
long usernames)

justprop-paulk       11138    14434 pop3
bud-jetc-newsmaster  domain94 14670 /usr/bin/perl -T -w
/usr/bin/spamassassin

GID on 11138 is domain150 so 1 char over on 8 char limit?

Postfix can return any arbitrary status you want from an access table.

To implement this you would put an entry in 'recipient_access_table' for
a table that had the address (or whatever match you want) as the left
part, and on the right:

  4NN Whatever text you want
  5NN Whatever text you want
  REJECT Whatever optional text you want
  DISCARD Message for the system log
  
REJECT is almost certainly the right thing, since it allows the
administrator to easily customize what the rejection code is in main.cf,
without needing to hack your table.

        Daniel

Re: [webmin-l] autoreply message problem

That's a good idea .. I will add support for this in the next Virtualmin

Re: [webmin-l] autoreply message problem

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

Thanks!  After I sent my message, I thought you could even take it one
step further if you want.  You could use the destination entry box to
allow for users to enter whatever status message they choose.  If they
enter nothing, append "User unknown" by default, but if they enter
something, that would override it.  And the module would detect any
existing entries in virtusertable that begin with "error:nouser" as a
status of "Bounce mail".

Re: [webmin-l] virtualmin ssl vhost problem

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

Roger is correct on this - you need to enable a private IP for the virtual server before SSL can be turned on..

Perhaps in a future release I will allow SSL websites to be run on private ports rather than IPs, which could be useful for testing purposes..

You can't use SSL with NameVirtualHost if you wish sites to have 
different certificates.

Since the SSL connection is established before the client can tell the 
server which server name it wants to talk to, you can only use SSL on a 
dedicated IP address (or IP:port pair).  You need to create a separate 
virtual IP address for the host -- in legal space that's routed to the 
machine -- and use that address for that server to support SSL.

(Jamie: shouldn't you allow unique ports?)

Re: [webmin-l] autoreply message problem

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

Jamie,

When you make this change, can you also correct the "Bounce mail" option
so it appends "User unknown"?  It makes the bounce status messages more
obvious.  Here is an example of the difference in output:

root# grep fo...@do... /etc/mail/virtusertable
fo...@do...   error:nouser
root# sendmail -bv fo...@do...
fo...@do...... >foo<@domain.com.

root# grep ba...@do... /etc/mail/virtusertable
ba...@do...   error:nouser User unknown
root# sendmail -bv ba...@do...
ba...@do...... User unknown

Thanks,
Alan

[webmin-l] virtualmin ssl vhost problem

[Csere M. <cs...@ne...>]

hello

anyone could explain me, how can i make ssl-enabled virtual servers?
i always get the error:


      Failed to create virtual server : SSL cannot be enabled unless a
      website is configured, and a virtual IP address allocated

but i dont quite understand what it means.
i have port and namevirtualhost settings in apache.

what am i doing wrong?

thanks in advance
csm

I have to admit, the UI for that mail forwarding module is a bit too
complex for most users ... which is why in the next release, it will be
much simpler for people who just want to do forwarding or auto-replies.
