Aletha D Chrietzberg posted a comment on ticket #5432
Upgrade finished and so far so good. I have tested the ACL setting as you suggested and it seems to be working. AWESOME!! Let me know about the disconnection issue and if I handled it properly. Thanks.
-
Disregard my last post. I discovered the upgrade got interrupted with a disconnect. Reinstalled a second time. Stil got a disconnect message but this time the V1.973 downloaded properly and the start script had been updated to the new version. I re-started the miniserv and the install seems to have continued. Waiting to see. Have not had a disconnect during an upgrade before. Is this a known issue?

Hi Ilia, I just upgraded my test Webmin server to 1.973. I went to set the ACL on the File Manger module as you instructed. I got an error. I'm not sure why yet. I went to another Webmin with out updating to set the ACL and got this same error. Can you point me in the right direction? Require filemin/acl_security.pl failed : Can't locate File/MimeInfo.pm in @INC (you may need to install the File::MimeInfo module) (@INC contains: ./lib /usr/local/webmin-1.955/filemin /usr/local/webmin-1.955 /usr/opt/perl5/lib/site_perl/5.20.1/aix-thread-multi...

Just to make sure I am understanding you. You are going to look at controlling PATHs for users in the Module >Webmin Users >> userid >> Webmin User access rights >> Permissions for all Modules? If so, that would be wonderful! Will I get a notification of the version it's in? Is there any kind of ETA on which version or how soon that might come into being? Just being anxious. Thank you so much!

So that is out in the AIX OS you're talking about. Right? I don't see that --bind as an option on AIX. Or if that's not the case please correct me. But this is a Tier 0 server so no I will not be allowed to do that type of mount like this on these servers. The powers that be keep a tight rein on these servers. That's why I have to control all directory accesses thru Webmin. So I guess you are saying the answer is no I will no longer be able to control the Webmin user's PATH access thru the Webmin...
-
Also in order to do your suggestion do I have to upgrade to Webmin 1.970?
-
Thanks Ilia for the quick response. I did set up a safe user but it only had access the the user's home directory. I am not sure I understand what you mean by "mount bind all needed directories using appropriate permissions to user's home with safe user. " If that can help me with limiting my users to certain directories and being able to do what they need to do I'm all for it. I just don't know how to do that. That I know of. Do you have any documentation that I can look over?

Hi Jamie. I posted screenshots and other info but I still need help with this issue on the perl version of File Manager and the Webmin Users page >Permissions for all modules > Root directory for file chooser & Other directories allowed PATH parameters If you need to talk to me on the phone I am available. Or email me directly at alethad@unch.unc.edu. I am getting anxious to getting this resolved or a better work around if possible. Thanks.
-
Hey guys. Is there any update or news on this ticket yet? I'm just being anxious. If it would help to talk on the phone I am certainly up for that. I do not want this tool take away from us. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hey guys, Is there any update or news yet for me? Thanks.

I just removed my own user id and re-created it as a safe user. Now File Manager only allows me into my home directory. I cannot get to my desired PATH /epic/nonprodfiles. How can this be changed to allow the other PATH?
-
Is the safe user looking for users only in the local /etc/passwd file? How does it handle LDAP users that have no entry in this file?
-
Well that sucks. Ok. What about the Custom Categories for safe users? How an I get those? Or is forming a Group the only way?
-
I looked at the safe user before but I did not see any of my Custom Categories were included in the choices to allow permission to access. Or is there a way to include my Custom Categories? I just tried to add a test3 user id for testing using the group option and I got an error. I have always been able to create user id's that are not real users. So I guess safe users are an exception? Failed to save user : The username 'test3' is not a Unix user, and so cannot be used in safe mode
-
I have my users set as their own user id(OS) or set to their Webmin user id which is the same as their OS user. Both are set to browse files as their own user id not root. The screenshot I sent early on is shows one of these users is set to browse files as their Webmin id. So what do I need to change? I'm not sure I understand.
-
Hi Jamie, Thanks for the reply. Hope you are doing well. I looked at a couple of user's .acl file. My users are showing that the PATH should be restricted. But the Perl File Manager is not recognizing it. Here is the contents of my user id where the restrictions show 2 PATH's. I went to File Manager and my user id is put on root(/). I took out the home directory in the alethad.acl file and I still got put on the root(/) level. No change. allowed_for_edit=application-x-php application-x-ruby application-xml...

Does anyone have any idea if the user permissions parameters can be set to work again? I have not heard from anyone. Any update at all?
-
Hey Ilia, I think I may have misunderstood what you're referring to. Are you talking about File acls & permissions or PATHs? I'm talking about PATHs or access to the actual directories & filesystems. Sorry if I misled you.
-
The attachments didn't come thru. Do I need to have a certain theme turned on to see the Tools on that page? After I upgraded to V1.953 I had to switch to the Authentic Theme to get the accordion option to show up in the perl File Manager. Thanks.
-
Thanks for the quick reply. I do not see any accordion on the "Available Webmin Modules" in Edit Users nor a Tools button/link at the bottom of that page. Can you send me a screenshot to show me where I'm supposed to be? I must be misunderstanding something. Sorry for the trouble.
-
Correction/clarification. I have always edited the "Permissions for All Modules" on each user to restrict the "root directory" and "Other visible directories" where to place the user in the file structure when using the Java File Manager. This locks the user down to a specific PATH or PATHs. But the new Perl Version does not use these parameters on the user id apparently because the user is put at the root(/) level in File Manager forcing them to drill down to their desired PATH. I have non-Unix...
-
I don't understand where you are talking about. Are you referring to the The Available Webmin modules in the Edit Users? Or are you talking about the File Manager itself? I have not found any place to restrict user id's to a certain PATH.
-
I have users set for /epic as the root start of the access and that does notwork either. I am trying to limit my users to the PATH /epic/nonprdfiles. And it doesn't matter how I set the parameters in the "Permissions for All Modules" the user is put at /(root) forcing them to drill down to the desired PATH.
-
This is from the Edit Users >> Permissions for All Modules
-
Hi Jamie, Sorry for the delay, I replied to your email but it looks like you didn't get it. I do not get any error at all. The parameters just do not seem to be working. I've set the restrictive PATH on each user id. Any help is greatly appreciated.

File Manager access
-
The proper terminology >> Can't get to the "Module Access Control" page to restrict access to the filesystems on server.
-
Sorry forgot my error message. It looks the same to me but just in case here it is.. I go to my user id and list out the modules I have access to. I click on the File Manager module link so I can restrict what directories a user has access to. I tried setting it globally per user id in the "Permissions For All Modules" But that isn't working either. Require filemin/acl_security.pl failed : Can't locate File/MimeInfo.pm in @INC (you may need to install the File::MimeInfo module) (@INC contains: ./lib...
-
I have this same issue after upgrading to 1.953. Where can I get the File:MimeInfo to fix this? Or what ever is needed to fix this? I can't find the File:MimeInfo anywhere on the Webmin site. I got the error trying to go to the module parameters to limit what my users see in File Manager. Right now I can't do that. They have full access from root. Not cool. I upgraded from version 1.791. I don't understand why anything is missing. I have never had this type of issuer before. Any help is greatly appreciated....
