Yes. I couldn't agree more :) Although he's probably never heard of Webmin (or ever sat in front of a linux/unix box). 22 is closed. -- Matt ___ To help you stay safe and secure online, we've developed the all new Yahoo!

Well, the firewall designer which allows port 80 and not 22 is definitively braindead, since he forces you to make user/passwd operation through an open/visible link. Michel.

I use adduser on my boxes, but I administer servers that sit behind firewalls that *only* allow traffic through port 80. I have no control over the firewall or the decision making process. I use webmin (actually I use webmin ssh module to get a prompt rather than the webmin user module, but that's not my point).

No, really. it should be fun to write a front-end to vi to make it look like a point-n-click thingie ma jig for those that insist on web-based ( presumably over http or https if they're smarter ) c ya alvin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Anyway, I want > web-based so that web accounts can be administered more simply. couple minutes to make a cgi-script that: func add users() htpasswd -c .htpasswd newuser htpasswd administers its passwd automatically and nothing to do about it .. including changing from des to rsa to foo-encryption find and delete users() if [ grep user .htpasswd ] grep -iv user < .htpasswd.old > .htpasswd add the cosmetics as needed, or more importantly, filter out all the whacky things like "rm -rf /" as a username and/or passwd and watch for race conditions or install somebody else's appp and spend min/hrs/days/weeks trying to figure out what they intended for you to be doing either way.. you will still need to make a webpage that calls their cgi or your cleaned up cgi-as-above to change your all important .htpasswd and .htaccess and other equivalent files c ya alvin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
