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! -joho |

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). ---- Freddie Cash, LPCI-1 CCNT CCLP Helpdesk / Network Support Tech.

You need to open up ports 10000-10100 on the slave system for fast RPC to work. > SOFTWARE INVENTORY > > Would it be possible to get a "master screen" in my "master webmin" that > would 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? 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.. > 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 > HEADER information in the message, my e-mail client don't know what to > do with those characters.

I may not have converted them all to do proper MIME headers.. - Jamie |

That would be cool, but at the moment there is no module like this .. at least not yet :) > >> NOTIFICATION MESSAGES > >> 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 :-) > >This sounds like a bug - which modules are sending out these emails?

Ok, I think I see what you mean here .. so your mail client needs to have a header like : Content-type: text/plain; charset=3Diso-8859-1 to display mail properly? - Jamie |

>That would be cool, but at the moment there is no module like this .. at >least not yet :) Yay.. my idea reached coolness status; perhaps it'll make it onto the list. I wish my Perl knowledge was more up to scratch, I'd be happy to contribute code/modules; but I'm a C/C++/ASM/PHP dude :-) >> This is the Others -> System and Server Status monitoring messages. >Ok, I think I see what you mean here .. so your mail client needs to have >a header like : Content-type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 >to display mail properly? These are the three headers required: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable -joho |

I will have Webmin set those headers in future. - Jamie |
