I find that Webmin has certain modules that simply work poorly SuSE. Editting cron jobs, for instance. I can enter one, but no new jobs show up in Webmin. If I do a crontab -e (console), they are there. Is SuSE just not real compatible with Webmin? I haven't even attempted Apache2 changes since Webmin seems to be Apache 1.3 centric. -- <<JAV>>

I don't have that problem (webmin-1.1.50), either root or ordinary user.

I have had that feeling, for *some* modules, but forgot which...

Eeek. But why not use YaST over ssh? Works perfectly well, ether graphical or textmode. In textmode, you might need to 'export LANG="c"' first (only if you get weird characters). Cheers, Leen
Does YAST have an SSH server like webmin to accept connection over the LAN? Sean On Wednesday 13 October 2004 04:56, Joe Polk wrote:

No. You just ssh into the remote machine, and start yast.
Use ssh -X
Yes, if one wants yast in graphics mode. Without -X it runs in text mode. ;) Cheers, Leen

I'm using webmin-1.160 and it understands SuSE 9.1. I've used crontab -e to get ntp to sync system time in early 9.1 when it didn't work. Also I've just used webmin to configure mod_perl, so it understands apache2. The first time you use it, it tells you that either your apache config has changed or that webmin hasn't read it. There used to be a problem with an earlier webmin and 9.1, but the webmin guys fixed that in the next version after I reported the problem. Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce ....

Have you checked the module configuration to ensure that it's looking at the right files? I've used Webmin on SuSE since webmin was born, and haven't had and significant problems. Then, I don't do *everything* with webmin. If all else fails, you could always make a few custom commands to do what you want. You can do "crontab -l" to list the crontab, and use something involving "perl -pi -e" or similar to edit the thing. :) Of course, at that point, it'd probably be easier to just ssh in and run the commands... BTW, yast doesn't *need* X. It'll run just fine in a console/ssh session. --Danny
