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.

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... eric -- Mandrake HowTo's & More: http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

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.

actually, I think they are still 8 chars, but I make long ones anyway,, also, most people don't add gibberish till the end of the password, which sort of ruins the purpose, I use gibberish all the way though.. you can download a password cracker and test your passwords if you are unsure of their security.. rgds Frank -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, 19 November 2001 5:40 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [expert] Webmin Are the password still 8 character significant for the crypt() function, or has Linux changed this?

RE: [expert] 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.. rgds Frank -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, 19 November 2001 5:08 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [expert] Webmin Hi All, How secure is webmin, I know that is uses a https server, but I need to administer a machine remotely.

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

In my case it was working in 7.0 and not working after upgrading to 7.1 I had to: [dave@dalrun dave]$ su Password: [root@dalrun dave]# cd /usr/share/webmin [root@dalrun webmin]# ./setup.sh

Try "ps -ax | grep [miniserv.pl]". I get 747 ?SW 0:00 [miniserv.pl] Try "/usr/share/webmin/miniserv.pl" to start it. KFM will not work, you will have success with netscape. Muzza.
Re: [expert] Webmin
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.

Did I find now something that does not work here?And just posted that everything's working suberb! But this is minor problem...using linux as enduser,only having my sons win machine connected ,so he can do networking via me and I don't have to admin any huge network. Learning more all the time...maybe some day Jarmo
Re: [expert] Webmin
Try this... http://127.0.0.1:1 that's the correct localhost URL. -- Mark I love my Linux Box... REASON # 2 ...X-windows is just a suedonym.

So also, (if lookup is hosts, DNS) should http://localhost.localdomain:1, but the use of nicknames may or may not be supported for this purpose. And no, you should not have to add anything--if inetd is running, and perl is running, then the webmin server should be communicating.
