    Hi Guys,

    Thank you for creating such a feature rich and user friendly, awesome product.

    Happy B-Day Webmin.

    Excellent product

    Jamie still speaks to the masses, I helped debug the new Bacula interface on Mandriva, good coms and speedy rewrite to incorporate support for Autoloaders

    Hope it has many more birthdays !!!

    Of all the open source tools out there Webmin ranks at the top of my lists! I use it daily at work to manage all my Linux server's. I agree with Jamie, the MySQL webmin has a lot of the features I need to manage my different MySQL databases so much so I rarely use phpmyadmin. Performing Backups or restoring a database is a breeze!

    Looking forward to many many more webmin birthdays to come!!!

    THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

    Webmin is great and really eases administration a lot. However, I have a question. In Solaris it is possible to disable the root account and delegate that power to an ordinary user (RBAC or sumethin' like that). When I try to log in to webmin with root, it doesnt work because the root account is disabled. How to solve this problem?
  • SwellJoe · 2 years ago
    Howdy Meow,

    Just setup a different account--the one you delegate to, ordinarily.

    Webmin actually has support for this kind of thing with sudo--any user that is a member of the administrative group or has "ALL" sudo privileges can be given "root" level privileges automatically. This is the default on Ubuntu (which doesn't have a working "root" account by default). But, while Webmin knows about RBACs and can configure them, I believe, it doesn't have magic support for such users. I don't think it does, anyway. Jamie sometimes makes wonderful new things happen in Webmin and doesn't tell anybody. ;-)

    Yes! Ten years are a long time in the unix world.

    Thank You!!!, because it is great, it is small, it is usefull....


    (But what can I do today, that webmin works on my CentOS 5.1 ??)

    Greetings from Saxony
  • SwellJoe · 1 year ago
    augustusburg, Webmin works fine on CentOS 5.1, to the best of my knowledge. You'll want to bring up any problems in the Webmin mailing list...or file a bug in the bug tracker at Virtualmin.com. But we have lots of folks using it on 5.1, so it's known to work.

    hello...anyone have a screenshot of webmin for HTB(Hierarchical Token Bucket) please.. I really need one..
  • SwellJoe · 1 year ago
    Hey Paul,

    I have no idea what you're talking about. There is no standard module for HTB. Perhaps there is a third party module for it...but, if so, why not just install it and make your own screenshot? I'm confused.

    thank you for helping my daily life!,
    Webmin Rocks!

    Hi there, we have just recently started using Magento and it reqires PHP 5.2.6 to operate, I have been told that Webmin does not support this?
  • SwellJoe · 1 year ago
    Webmin has nothing to do with PHP. You can use any PHP version you like, and Webmin won't care. Webmin is written in Perl.

    Virtualmin does manage many aspects of PHP, but it too doesn't care what PHP versions you have. We actually provide php 5.2.6 packages for some of our supported platforms, and it works fine. The Webmin Pear module also works with pretty much any version of PHP.
