You need to open up ports 10000-10100 on the slave system for fast RPC to work.

Have you checked out the Cluster Software Packages module? It has a 'Compare
Servers' page for displaying the versions of all the RPMs on multiple systems,
with a view to finding mismatches..

This sounds like a bug - which modules are sending out these emails? I may not
have converted them all to do proper MIME headers..

Sounds like the rmt program is missing on either your source or destination
systems. What OS are you backing up from and to there? rmt may be in
a separate package ..

This feature uses 10-20 (possibly up to 100) TCP ports above the one
configured for Webmin.  So, if Webmin is configured to use port 10000,
you need to open ports 10000-10100 in order for the RPC feature to
work correctly (we've gotten away with only opening 10000-10020, but
haven't tried to do much with RPC to date).

[webmin-l] Fast RPC Calls through Firewall, Software inventory, and notification messages

[Joaquim Homrighausen <joho@we...>]

Using 1.290 (thanks!)

RPC CALLS

We have a nearby machine that is physically close, but logically protected =
by its internal firewall. I have opened the TCP port for which I've configu=
red Webmin to use. I've also opened the machine's local firewall for UDP ca=
lls on the same port (do I need this?).

I cannot seem to get FAST RPC CALLS to work properly. What did I miss?


SOFTWARE INVENTORY

Would it be possible to get a "master screen" in my "master webmin" that wo=
uld report the version numbers of all installed pieces of software that has=
 been configured in the various "slave webmins" that I connect to from the =
master?


NOTIFICATION MESSAGES

I'm still seeing unencoded messages being sent out by Webmin; they contain =
national characters and are now sent encoded, but because there's no MIME H=
EADER information in the message, my e-mail client don't know what to do wi=
th those characters. Example:

L=E4rar (the second character is an 'a' with umlauts) is sent as L=3DE4rar =
which is correct, if there is a mime header in the message :-)



Keep up the GREAT work!

[webmin-l] remote backup files

[Pat Erler <mailinglists01@pa...>]

hi,

in backup filesystem, when i choose remote backup via ssh i get this error:

tar: Removing leading `/' from member names
bash: line 1: /usr/libexec/rmt: No such file or directory
tar: root@...\:/var/backups/remote/server.com: Cannot open:  
Input/output error
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now


what is missing here?
