Jamie, I noticed my network configuration module was missing. I deleted a few unused modules a couple of weeks ago and thought I might have inadvertently deleted it as well. So I went to the webmin site and downloaded it but was unable to install it because my OS was not supported?????? I'm running CentOS 4.2 based on RHEL 4. Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaasup? TIA |

This happens because Webmin doesn't detect CentOS 4.2 properly, due to the removal of the /etc/centos-release file that existed on older versions. The best fix would be to copy /etc/redhat-release to /etc/centos-release , and remove and re-install Webmin. However, re-installing like that will cause all webmin and virtualmin settings to be lost, so don't do it if you have any that you want to preserve! Alternatively, you can just go to the Webmin Configuration module, click on the Operating System icon and change the OS manually to CentOS 4.2. - Jamie On 22/Oct/2005 23:26 Thomas E Dukes wrote .. > Jamie, > > I noticed my network configuration module was missing.

On a fresh install of CentOS 4.2, it shows up as CentOS 4.2 in both redhat-release and webmin. Webmin put the Network Configuration module on both systems.

I do recall the Whitebox replaced the redhat-release with wbel or whitebox-release. All of this I'm sure due to redhat trademark fears. It wouldn't surprise me if centos-release reappeared as so much else has been renamed that way, like all the redhat server management programs. Would it create various program confusion to have both redhat-release and centos-release in /etc? I bet so. I'm not complaining here.. only providing information. John Hinton |

Manually configure the OS and release within Webmin. Mine is set to CentOS Linux 4.2. Also, don't forget to check your ACL list. Maybe it's still there but somehow was set to unavailable. Did you use the Webmin RPM or the Dag RPM? I use the Dag repository but have Webmin set as an exclude. There are serious conflicts between the two versions. Dag says his is the best, Jamie says his is the best. More than likely they are both right from their point of view on things. I decided to use the Webmin version as it left all the update functions available from within Webmin, not an option with the dag version. I had a BIG mess going on several machines for a long time due to this issue. At the top of the list was ACLs changing after any update, even for root. Good luck. John Hinton |

It is official that using redhat-release is OK with Redhat. The file just can't contain any reference to redhat. So, at least for now, it looks like CentOS will use redhat-release in /etc. Whitebox did use their own release file. I wonder if that's still hanging around? wbel-release or whitebox-release.. I don't remember the name. I guess that could be causing issues? Beyond that, Jamie would best know how to handle this as obviously he knows Webmin inside and out. Do check your ACL list though, just to be sure the module didn't somehow get turned off for whatever user you operate under. And thanks again to Jamie for supporting these other OS's. I'm sure it's getting to be quite a list! Best, John Hinton |

Yes, I definately will.. The problem with the Network Configuration module is that it is only supported on certain operating systems, like Redhat and CentOS. If Webmin cannot detect your OS properly, the module will not appear. If you switched the OS, make sure it is correctly displayed on Webmin's main menu - it should be displayed as 'CentOS 4.2'. Also, make sure that in the /etc/webmin/config file, there are lines like : os_type=redhat-linux os_version=10.0 real_os_type=CentOS Linux real_os_version=4.2 - Jamie |
