I installed webmin, and I tried to access it with my account (not root, but able to sudo) and I always got login failed.Now I have Access Denied even to my login page for too many tries. What should I do?
i started to look into upgrading my LTS ubuntu server instances to Lucid. one the notable things that i have discovered is the lack of support for Webmin; it seems that Debian is no longer supporting packages required by Webmin. But it also appears that ubuntu team believes that Webmin may actually cause problems as it works in a different way than that presumed by Ubuntu. so i am now left with no way to manage my 10+ instances of ubuntu server that i used for studying and research. it seems that i am left with cluster-ssh as an alternative. but are there other alternatives, ideally similar to webmin?
I have had webmin running previously but i just recently installed Unbuntu server and i am now trying to install webmin. after typing this to install webmin sudo apt-get install webmin it started doing its thing and then it halts.
Giving me the following message: "Package webmin is not available, but is referred to by another package. this may mean that the package is missing, had been obsoleted , or is only available from another source."
The first thing i did after installing webmin was edit the sources.list
Then i tpyed sudo nano sources.list I uncommented everything with "deb" in front of it
I also uncommented
deb cdrom:
I then typed this sudo wget [url]
After getting that i typed this apt-get install perl libnet-ssleay-perl openssl libauthen-pam-perl libpam-runtime libio-pty-perl libmd5-perl
created a user but i forgot to change the home directory permission.so after user created when i go to the user and group mangement i cant see that permission filed related to the home permission directory.my purpose is to stop accessing other user to my home directory,how it can be possible??
I installed webmin on Debian apt-get install webmin. After installation following message came. Code: Setting up webmin (1.510-2) ... Webmin install complete. You can now login to https://IP:10000/ as root with your root password, or as any user who can use sudo to run commands as root. So I infer that the installation was successful.
But when I do Code: http://IP:10000
I get following error Code: Error 111 (net::ERR_TUNNEL_CONNECTION_FAILED): Unknown error.
I have installed webmin. I am configuring ldap server using webmin gui. when i try to add user by ldap user and group I get following error. Failed to save user; Failed to add user to ldap database; modification required authentication. I am new in ldap configuration and hope for best reply.
I keep receiving the error message in the title above whenry to enterebmin.abc.com/webmin. I'm on Ubuntu 9.10. Other errors I'll receive are "You do not have access to any Webmin modules". Wondering if anyone knew what settings our permissions on files I could change to avoid these error
I encountered a a dependency issue when trying to install Webmin on Ubuntu Server Edition 10.04 Beta1.
When you try to install webmin, libmd5-perl is not available in any of the lucid repositories:
I resolved the dependency prob by adding the following repository to my /etc/apt/sources.list: deb [url]
Then I did a sudo apt-get update then sudo apt-get install and libmd5-perl installed fine along with webadmin. BTW. I got a GPG error when doing a apt=get update because I did not import the public key for the debian repos I used to get libdm5-perl, which doesn't matter to me as I commented out the repos once I got libmd5-perl installed.
In a small network (with <5 PCs) what is the best way to manage users and groups? When I create a new user, Ubuntu automatically assigned a UID unless I specify otherwise. If I were to mount shared drives between PCs (or between a client machine and a server) I'm wondering how it handles different UIDs/GIDs associated with files (usernames almost always match across system but UIDs/GIDs do not)? Or is the best solution to just assign matching UID and GID on every machine when they are created? Or is this just magically handled via the matching usernames? I know there are heavier options but this has come up a number of times in small setups 2-5 machines at most.
Just a quick question, is there a system user management app that could be accessed via a website for red hat (or really any distro)? Something kinda like phpMyAdmin, but can do useradd, userdel, groupadd, etc. For remote admins who don't know how to use ssh or the command line.
I am replacing a home network - Windows Server 2003 and 5 PCs (XP Pro) with UBUNTU 10.4 LTS Server and client versions. I am keeping a couple of the PCs with dual boot until I can migrate everything over (Having some issues with iTunes, Family Tree Maker, Media serving, DVD decrypt and a couple of others, but that is for another post). It was great fun getting the server up and running using only shell commands. Took me ages just to get a folder shared! Migrating the data over from NTFS to ext3 was also fun given the limited space on the partitions.
I really only want to use the server for communal network type things ... central user account maintenance, shared folders for music, video etc and data backup. I don't need it to be performing server functions on the Internet e.g. web server etc although that may come later. How I set up central user management? All the PCs are currently setup with local user ids, and it is a bit of a pain to go round each PC every time I change something.
The server is not always up, so I need to be able to log into the local PC without it being active. I was using Active Directory on Server 2003, but I don't need anything that complex really ... just 3 or 4 users to manage. I have been looking at the setup tutorial at [URL] but am not sure how relevant a lot of it is. I have SSH setup so I can login remotely, NFS is working to share the folders, but that is about all I have done so far.
I've setup Kerberos and OpenLDAP servers (9.10) similar to the official documentation (and other sites that fill in the "gaps"). However, when you start to get in to some of the details, there seem to be many options - and I guess I'm looking for what could be the defacto standard. I'd like to allow Ubuntu clients to have a sso capability, with the ability for local caching of passwords if not connected to the network (such as a laptop user away from the office, prior to a VPN). I'd like to automount a secure NFS share somewhere in the /home directory. If the user logs in to a computer they've not logged in to before (if they're authorized), it would be nice if a skeleton /home directory could be setup there automatically I'm guessing that it is not desirable to use a shared /home NFS - as if you're off the network this would be problematic - as well as multiple computers sharing the same /home. There are some benefits to a shared /home (SSH certs, etc.), so maybe there is a hybrid approach out there.
I've read that it's not necessarily good practice to have OpenLDAP to do the authentication (leave this to Kerberos), but it's fine for authorization (such as ACLs for logins to certain computers). It's also good practice to use TLS with OpenLDAP (which requires public certs on all the clients) and to not allow anonymous read to the directory. I would guess that a computer host keytab could be refreshed to bind to the OpenLDAP server via GSSAPI / SASL to allow a non-anonymous read, and then determine if, say, the user was a member of a group allowed to log in. Kerberos would then pick up and authenticate the user and then proceed to the login. Off the network here, I'm not sure. I found this document, but it's self declared missing items: [URL]
I'll stop the rambling, but I cannot be the only one who would like to setup a relatively standard and secure server based network authentication and authorization back-end. Is there any _complete_ documentation on the best practices and how to implement?
After a disastrous foray into LDAP I restored NIS on a very simple network run by a very simple operator. Everything now works except for YaST on the NIS master. I can't manage NIS users in YaST any more. The option 'show NIS users' is now absent from the 'filter' button up in YaST "User and Group Management" So, after following the YaST route to LDAP there seems no way back...
These are OpenSUSE 11.3 boxes and the slave NIS server can't [obviously enough] delete expired NIS users on the master, although it sees them fine. Disabling or changing NIS server or client on the Master simply restores the 'wrong' settings - nothing is erased or cleaned. How do I clean up NIS controls so YaST sees it properly? or What do I need to do to restore NIS group & user control to YaST?
accessing webmin in redhat 9? the pc is set to name as localhost.localadmin and running whithout network connectivity, i just want to try and access webmin to see if my 10 users are viewable.
I tried http://localhost:10000 but error appears: connection refused while trying to contact localhost.localadmin:10000
I recently installed Ubuntu server 9.04. It appears to be functioning correctly in that I can acces it from other Windows machines ony my network. I installed Webmin to remotely administer this server, however I cannot connect using Webmin from my other machines. I am only running Samba on this server at the present time.
I attempted to access the webmin conf file at /etc/webmin/miniserv.conf but permission wasa denied, evenas root.
I have fedora 13 (with samba) and XP on Vbox (same LAN). Installed webmin on the fedora machine and created a shared folder (/home/myshare). stopped iptables, gave the folder chmod 777 and tried reaching the folder from the XP with no success.
From the posts relevant to postfix I could not find the particular combination of issues I'm facing. Any pointers or references to posts will be greatly helpful. I have CentOS server running Postfix which was recently moved into my house running over TW cable (Austin RoadRunner). In Webmin -> Postfix Mail Server -> General Options - Other General Options - 'Send outgoing mail via host' (which is the relayhost) is set to:
Code:
[URL]
I expected the relay to reflect this in the log but it doesn't When I send an email I see this in /var/log/maillog
Jul 21 17:17:04 cromagnon sendmail[14853]: p6LMAjlu014853: to=ravi@pobox.com, ctladdr=root (0/0), delay=00:06:19, xdelay=00:06:18, mailer=relay, pri=30049, relay=[127.0.0.1] [127.0.0.1], dsn=4.0.0, stat=Deferred: Connection timed out with [127.0.0.1] I basically *all* mail from all domains on this server to go through the relayhost. I understand there are a million caveats but I wish someone could help me with the basics.
BTW I've also tried to set the relayhost to
Code:

however the log still shows . . .relay=root@localhost . .
Whenever I try to take backup from webmin I get following error message. Starting backup of module configuration files to /Applications/backup.tar.gz .. .. failed! TAR failed : I don't understand meaning of this error.
I'd like to use a webmin to execute scripts as the picture. When I press "Stop friendly" button, it will execute the script that is located at /home/kenzo/stopfriendly.sh or it will execute /home/kenzo/stopserver.sh when I press "Stop" button.
I try to access my mysql in webmin but i cant see it in Servers submenu.My mysql is already started.I can search the mysql in webmin search bar.I just want the mysql be place under Servers submenu..

Now our server guy ran a update inside webmin for debian and now our videos still convert but wont make thumbs. Here is what he did.
Now updating libsmbclient ..
Now the AVS script wont make thumbs and webmin still wants to do 3 more updates that get unmet dependencies errors. Here they are when we try to run another update.
Building complete list of updates ..
Now what we need to do is either undo the update he already did or maybe get the one its asking for now to work but not sure which one will fix our thumb generating problem? Here is the error in the log file of the AVS script.
I am using Webmin to access a database. I finally acquired a static IP address. After entering it into the allowed host for the PostgreSQL server, I still can't access it through the SQL Manager for postgres in Windows. It doesn't seem to actually make the change. I am the new person managing this database. The old person use to be able to just add an IP address and it would connect. Is there something I am missing that I may need to install?
i want to configure my squid sever in ubuntu with webmin.first my machine spec i have xeon with two prosesors 3gb RAM 3 scsi hard drives each 72gb .two ether net card ,one is attached with adsl modem and the second is conected with MY LAN . now what i want is to configure my server to acess only those user whos ip bind with mac. and act transparent proxy sever with user bandwidth control.thats it
Two servers, one is RHEL 4, and the other is RHEL 5. They are both on the same subnet, one is 10 the other is 11. I added the Webmin rule to the iptables config file but for some reason, the RHEL 4 server, I can access Webmin but the RHEL 5 server I can not. I checked the iptables file and they are the same for both servers, except two rules which are for other ports.
I'm reading about the iptables and had a problem when I manually added the port 10000 entry after the REJECT entry, but wondering if I need to move it up higher or maybe there's another possible block?
I tried creating a virtual server in apache and it got created successfully. (I also added a zone in dns for that domain successfully) However, when I try opening that domain in my browser, I see a popup window which asks me what to do with "default" which is a php file type.
I dont see the index.php which should actually open. What do I do to make the php files display correctly?
