+ Add a wbm.mk makefile fragment which can be used to create pkgsrc-managed
Webmin modules.
! Fixed a possible remotely exploitable security hole caused by a bug
Webmin's use of the Perl syslog function.
* Multiple Webmin users and groups can be deleted at once.
* The Webmin Servers Index module can automatically scan for new servers
on the local network on a regular schedule.
* The idle automatic logout time can be configured on a per-user basis
in the Webmin Users and Usermin Configuration modules.
* Increased the speed of Webmin configuration reloads done by the
Webmin Users and Webmin Configuration module. This also prevents any
down-time while the config is being re-read.
* Improved the timeout detection in HTTP requests, to reduce the ability
of incorrect or malicious clients to tie up the Webmin webserver
process.
* Enhanced the Unix User Authentication feature to allow different
users and group members to be treated as different Webmin users.
* Improved the way the OS is detected at install time, so that new
versions will be automatically supported.
* Different SSL certificates for virtual IP interfaces can be specified
in the Webmin and Usermin modules, for sites doing SSL virtual hosting.
* Fixed a nasty bug that could cause configuration file permissions
and ownership to be changed when they are modified.
* An option has been added in the Webmin Configuration module to enable
full PAM conversations when logging in. This is necessary for systems
on which PAM asks for more than just a username and password.
* All modules now use a new API for writing to configuration files,
which ensures that the file does not get written to or truncated if
the system is out of disk space.
* Added a button to the Webmin Actions Log module for rolling back
configuration files to before an action was taken.
* Password timeouts are now enabled by default, to prevent brute-force
password guessing attacks.
include:
* Added the new Bandwidth Monitoring module, for generating simple
reports of network traffic by port, time and host on Linux systems.
* Added the Cluster Copy module, for copying files to multiple servers
either on schedule or manually.
* Added the Backup Configuration Files module, for backing up and
restoring config files known to Webmin.
* Several improvements to the Linux firewall module, including pre-
and post commands, cluster support and the ability to reset the
firewall configuration.
* Support for selecting specific MySQL and PostgreSQL tables to back
up, and improved searching in the MySQL module.
* Automatic email notification for users approaching their disk quotas.
* The timezone can now be set in the System Time module on Linux,
Solaris and FreeBSD.
* Added the new Sarg Squid access reporting module. Thanks to Omar
Armas for sponsoring its development.
* Added support for NFSv4 to the Disk and Network Filesystems module.
* In the MySQL and PostgreSQL modules, all databases can now be backed
up at once, either manually or on a configured schedule.
* Added the ability to delete multiple users at once to the Users and
Groups module.
* Added support for MD5 encryption for Webmin passwords, to avoid the
8-character effective password length limit.
* The BIND module can now create and edit delegation-only zones.
* When PAM is used for Unix authentication, expired passwords are now
detected and the user is prompted to select a new password (if this
feature is enabled on the Webmin Configuration module).
Webmin is a web-based interface for system administration for Unix.
Using any browser that supports tables and forms, you can setup user
accounts, Apache, DNS, file sharing and so on. Webmin consists of a
simple web server, and a number of CGI programs which directly update
system files.
