I have about 40 machines running webmin. On one of them, which I'll call webmin1, all the others are registered under the Webmin Servers Index and configured to log in automatically with a username and password. Generally this works great and is very convenient. Recently I noticed a weird anomaly. If I am logged into webmin1 and click one of the others, say webmin2, I am logged in as expected. If I then navigate to Tools->System and Server Status, I see the monitors configured on webmin2. But if I then click the module config button on webmin2, I am taken the module config for webmin1. If I then click Return to Service List, I am taken to the monitors on webmin1. If I then click System Server and Status in the navigation panel, I am taken back to the monitors on webmin2. So there doesn't seem to be a way to configure the module options on webmin2: I just can't get to that page, at least not this way. I can log in directly to webmin2 and configure the module that way. But this seems like a bug so I thought I would report it. The machine I'm calling webmin1 here is FreeBSD 12.2 with webmin 1.973. That seems to be most recent version in the FreeBSD pkg repositories and I usually prefer to install and update webmin on FreeBSD that way. The machine I'm calling webmin2 is CentOS 8.4 with webmin 1.980. I wonder if anyone here has seen this behavior or whether anyone can reproduce it. Thanks for any insights or enlightenment. |

This might be due to the way HTML is re-written when proxying from one Webmin server to the other. Does this still happen if you switch the theme on the master and remote systems to the older Gray Framed Theme? |

Thanks, Jamie. No, it doesn't happen with the old theme. I changed themes on the master and one of the others and then things work fine: I can get to the module config page for the second machine. It would not have occurred to me to try this without your suggestion. Thanks! |

Good to hear this fixed it. Could you file a bug for the issue when the default theme is being used at https://github.com/virtualmin/authentic-theme/issues ? |
