Webmin

I use OSSEC/HIDS for active security on my server and would like to have any webmin break-in attempt report to OSSEC to automatically add to hosts.deny and/or my firewall to block/shun the offending IP address.

However, in order for OSSEC to see this happening it needs to look at the syslogs and the format must follow Syslog RFC. The only log that I can tell that documents an unauthorized access is miniserv.error which does not follow the Syslog RFC format. Is there anyway to to change this to comply with the proper format? How about adding a webmin break-in to secure.log?

I recently noticed this happening when I found my slave DNS server's were not resolving any new domains I created. Apparently this "bug" started on a recently update to Webmin, not sure which one.

I have setup webmin's BIND module to automatically create slave zones on a secondary server through RPC.

The problem is that the slave zone is created with "masters {127.0.0.1;};" in the named.conf file. Thus resulting in the following error: "received notify for zone not authoritative"

I know I've asked about this before and it was my fault then, but unfortunatelly I must ask for help on the same issue; now I think is something wrong with webmin or virtualmin, I'm not sure.

Hi all,

i've been trying to find out whats happening in my dovecot setup every weekend.. with no luck.

I have postfix/dovecot/procmail/spamassassin/clamd setup running, and all is good except dovecot seems to crash every weekend. Postfix and all other programs run with no probs.

Now, i think it might be some weekend job that crashes it, but no idea where.

Anyone know any weekly dovecot related jobs (cron maybe) that might do this?

I am unable to get the Bind Cluster feature to fill in the DNS records on a slave server. It creates the file but will not fill it with the records leaving empty files on the slave. I have opened ports 10000:10100 on between both servers. The slave has been added to the webmin servers index. Any ideas?

I did see one of these messages for each domain in /var/log/messages

I have ubuntu 8.04 server every works good on it, but when i try to send message to server it goes to the postfix server message queue and just sits there. The strange this is it does it with internal message also. I also have issue with login in to smtp server to send mail. I have no problem login in to pop.

when the messages are getting send to mail server it is looking for a domain that is not on the server. I can not find where it might be located at in any of the conf files..

here is the error for mail server for recieving mail:

Has anyone set these up successfully?

FreeBSB 7.1 Webmin 1.450 Virtualmin 3.62 gpl

I'm having issues with adding a new server. I enter a custom username and I get this error:

Failed to create virtual server : A contact email address must be entered for servers that have no administration user

According to the directions, if I enter a custom username I should not have to have an email address.

Thanks in advance.

I'm sure there must be some instructions around here for giving users their own website... but I can't for the life of me find them

I assume it's a matter of some regexp in the aliases and redirects or document options, but, I was hoping it would already have been discussed... and surely it must have been. In fact, maybe it was me that asked last time. Sorry I'm senile.

Anybody got a link to the instructions or the handy dandy expression?

Thanks, Tony

Hello,

I am confused as to what the bind "Additional template file" should look like? Can anyone provide an example? I know what a zone file looks like but does it need to be a complete zone file? Is there a variable I put in the file to designate the domain name?

Thanks!

Hi all,

First post so please be gentle :-) I'm running Webmin v1.470 on Fedora 10 (I realise it's not supported but I have a feeling this problem isn't a Fedora-specific one) and I'm having some trouble with migrated cPanel domains and Postfix/SASL authentication for SMTP AUTH.
