I changed the hostname on that page and clicked "Save" and received an error message: '"controlled" is not a valid nameserver IP address'. After entering '127.0.0.1' in the first field and blanks in the others, webmin displays '127.0.0.1', 'controlled' and 'by' as the three addresses. So NetworkManager isn't really "supported" yet. :/ When I entered some legal addresses and clicked 'Save' again, webmin did change the hostname. Complaint: the nsswitch.conf file was written even though I hadn't changed those settings; the old file was byte-for-byte similar to the file that was written out. If files aren't changed then configuration tools should _not_ write them; the ctime should be preserved. On a positive note, I am happy to see that webmin does the right thing in changing the hostname. It changes the name in both /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts. (It correctly does _not_ add the hostname as an alias for localhost, as gnome-system-tools incorrectly does.) -- Thomas Hood -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

The current Network Configuration|Network Interfaces screen presumes that users have one logical interface per physical interface. If the user has multiple logical interfaces defined then the page is rather misleading. Yeah, now that sarge is behind us, we should look at overhauling this whole module. Btw, we also need to add the resolveconf support again as I had to drop it due to incompatible internal code changes. Hopefully I can get some time to work on it after I come back from Finland. -- Jaldhar H.

Package: webmin-core Severity: wishlist (I requested this before as part of a bug report that got closed.) The current Network Configuration|Network Interfaces screen presumes that users have one logical interface per physical interface. If the user has multiple logical interfaces defined then the page is rather misleading. I wish that the display would look something like this: Network interfaces === Name Interface definition lo lo eth0 home-static eth1 - Interface definitions = NameFamily Method Boot? Options -- -- - --- lo inet loopback home-static inet static yesIP Address: 192.168.0.1 Netmask:255.255.255.0 home-dhcp inet dhcp no Mapping === Name Script Input -- - eth0 /usr/local/sbin/map-eth.sh foo bar baz bay eth1 /bin/grep The "Interfaces" information comes from /etc/network/ifstate. The "Interface definitions" and "Mapping" information comes from /e/n/i. -- Thomas Hood -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
