 Here are the ones i modified:

Thanks Eric,

Those were the ones to do for me as well.  I have never had any programming,
but I am a damn good trouble shooter.  I just need to learn enough of the
language to know what it is saying.  ;-)

This is a weird one!  Using https://localhost:1/  I'm getting redirected
to a marketing site named www.netbreakthroughs.com!

Anyone seen this?  How to stop it?

 This came up before. Verisign actually sold the domain localhost.com,
 bloody arses that they are.
 
 Two sol'ns came up, tell your browser not to autmatically append .com
 to addresses, or use 127.0.0.1 instead.
 
 How you tell your browser not to append .com would vary according to the
 browser, check the archives for more info on that.

Thanks Haywire!

127.0.0.1 worked fine.  I'm using Mozilla-Firebird and could not find how to
disable.  I do have the extension that lets me modify all prefs, just could
not find it.

And I found your reply stumbling through the archives; search in acrchives
is not working, so it is the scroll and hope you find the keywork that
works.  Find in page in the browser works ok, *if* you get the correct
keyword.

Anyway, now I have to admit that I viewed WebMin as a security problem and
never used it.  Now I feel like an idiot, seeing how powerful it is - at
least I learned something new today..'  old dawg, new trick!  ;-)

I see you got your solution, but if anyone else can't get it to stop
that way:

The issue with firebird is even worse: there's some sort of google
search that i couldn't seem to turn off.

And when i did 127.0.0.1, i got the same, which i couldn't figure
out.  Or does the /etc/hosts file work both ways: 127.0.0.1 turns
into localhost?

Anyway, my solution was to run webmin on bootup.  This way, when you
try to go to webmin, since that port is already running, firebird
didn't try to search any further...

I like it because like sudo it logs everything.  Configuring a user so
that he/she can use/configure something that would normally require root
access is a lot easier than with sudo.  Seriously though if you like
Webmin you'll love Usermin.

James,

Well, I'm the only user on this computer.  I did log in to Webmin as
root, but will setup myself as a user soon.  I was astonished at all the
options.  I know enough to monitor essential logs and so on, but Webmin is
very nice.

Good point!!!

Thanks. 
 
 dgssoftware and currently all ports except ssh, are bolted down.
How safe would it
 dgssoftware be for me to allow the port 1 for webmin. Is this
good or is there
 dgssoftware some real threats associated with this. Webmin is
already installed
 
 The  MOST  secure way : make a ssh tunel to webmin. To webmin it
will look like
 you  are  coming  from  127.0.0.1  so  you can block acces to port
1 to the
 outside world and you can set access in webmin only to 127.0.0.1.
 So  the  only way someone can acces webmin is to have a ssh account.
If someone
 has ssh account he doesn't need webmin ;)))

When webmin is running, it is bound to port 1 since webmin uses its own
128bit
certificate for encryption, its very safe, no passwords get passed in clear
txt and
its rather difficult to run a brute force password script on a web based
admin program.
if your passwords are up to the task, you will be fine.. (all my passwords
are at least
11 characters long and contains small chars, CAPS chars, numbers4321 and
symboles!@@#@!!

Since I started using no non non encrypted services, started using long
passwords for stuff..
(in fact, usernames that need to be there and have a log in, but don't log
in as a person (ie having to type in a password), have passwords up to 50
characters long, I type them in a txt editor, usually they are complete
giberish
and cut and paste them into the passwd screen) I have never  been
compromised.

so Webmin will fine if used hand in hand with a decent password policy..

  Hi All,
 
  How secure is webmin, I know that is uses a https server, but I
need
  to administer a machine remotely. The MDK 8 box has bastille
loaded
  and currently all ports except ssh, are bolted down. How safe
would
 it
  be for me to allow the port 1 for webmin. Is this good or is
 there
  some real threats associated with this. Webmin is already
installed
  and is used accross the SOHO network...it's just an issue of
opening
  the WEB side access.
 
  TIA

dgssoftware some real threats associated with this. Webmin is already installed

The  MOST  secure way : make a ssh tunel to webmin. To webmin it will look like
you  are  coming  from  127.0.0.1  so  you can block acces to port 1 to the
outside world and you can set access in webmin only to 127.0.0.1.
So  the  only way someone can acces webmin is to have a ssh account. If someone
has ssh account he doesn't need webmin ;)))

Linux uses MD5 now for passwords so the new limit is 256 chars.

On Monday 19 November 2001 01:40, you wrote:
 Are the password still 8 character significant for the crypt()
 function, or has Linux changed this?

 Thanks for your response.
 Dave

  When webmin is running, it is bound to port 1 since webmin uses

 its own

  128bit
  certificate for encryption, its very safe, no passwords get passed

 in clear

  txt and
  its rather difficult to run a brute force password script on a web

 based

  admin program.
  if your passwords are up to the task, you will be fine.. (all my

 passwords

  are at least
  11 characters long and contains small chars, CAPS chars, numbers4321

 and

  symboles!@@#@!!
 
  Since I started using no non non encrypted services, started using

 long

  passwords for stuff..
  (in fact, usernames that need to be there and have a log in, but

 don't log

  in as a person (ie having to type in a password), have passwords up

 to 50

  characters long, I type them in a txt editor, usually they are

 complete

  giberish
  and cut and paste them into the passwd screen) I have never  been
  compromised.
 
  so Webmin will fine if used hand in hand with a decent password

 policy..

Webmin uses ssl to ensure a safe connection and to avoid simple packet

therfore you must use

From a term window do a 'locate execvp'. You should get a return under
/usr/lib/perl5/etc. Also, do a 'man execvp' to make sure everything is actually
installed. Which ver of Perl comes with 7.2beta?

Someone found a Net_SSLEay rpm and mentioned it a few days ago. Does
anyone know where I could find it (I have a machine I would like to put
webmin on, but don't feel like compiling Net_SSLeay on a Pentium 60 by
ssh.

I've never installed from the RPM, but if SSL is available you should be able to
enable it from the Webmin Configuration menu.  Here is a link to installing Webmin
with SSL http://plainmail.com/linux/secure.html.

[expert] webmin file manager - blank screen

2000-09-28 Thread Mike Rambo

I get only a blank screen when trying to use the webmin file manager. 
Anyone have any idea why this is happening?  I've read somewhere that fm
is a java app - might this have anything to do with that.  I do have
ibm's jre and jdk v118 installed and it appears to work ok - at least
with staroffice anyway.

Thanks.

[expert] webmin won't work. :(

2000-09-06 Thread Xuejun Liu

Hi, all,

I enabled webmin as stand alone service. Now I can access it with port
1. However, after input the root and password correctly, it always
says 'Authorization failed. Retry?'

I have no idea what's going wrong. Any thoughts to make it work?

Regards,

Xuejun





Re: [expert] webmin won't work. :(

2000-09-06 Thread alphers

I believe that the superuser for webmin is not neccesarily root.  I would look 
through the conf file(which I think is in /etc)for webmin for the superuser name 
and password.  you can just set it there in plain text.  for security you also 
might want to set webmin to a different port number.
Hope this helps.
Sam.

 By default, webmin is not running in most types of installations.
 
 You might try 
 
 DrakConf-Startup Services-and make sure webmin is a)listed and b)checked.

In my case it was working in 7.0 and not working after upgrading to
7.1 I had to:

I didn't see anything indicating the message you got.

If you cannot connect that way, it is likely that Webmin is
not running--use DrakConf - Traffic signal to make sure it
starts.

In fact

rpm -qa | grep webmin

to make sure it is installed.  I t does not install by default
in all types of installation.
