Hello People I''m new here, so forgive-me for any "newbie talk". My client is running Debian Sarge (Stable), with Shorewall and Webmin. I want to make things easier for them and tried to use the webmin-shorewall module. The thing is - the installed shorewall is 3.0.5 (package from testing) but the webmin module only understands (and builds) the old shorewall 2.x file format. The webmin module is from testing too. Is there anyplace where I can get a webmin module for shorewall that can handle the 3.0 branch?

I have no idea, if you can get a compatible module via webmin update,usually webmin module is ages from current shorewall development,. if your specific problem is the "zones" file, you can use IPSECFILE=ipsec in shorewall.conf and then you will be able to write the zone file in the old format.

Yes, I know the webmin module is not maintained by anyone at Shorewall.net.> I have no idea, if you can get a compatible module via webmin > update,usually webmin module is ages from current shorewall development,.I was just asking if someone had a clue on what to do. I thoght about the compat-mode you described:> if your specific problem is the "zones" file, you can use > > IPSECFILE=ipsec > > in shorewall.conf and then you will be able to write the zone file in > the old format.Thanks for the tip. I was thinking about doing it (it''s described in the sample file), but before that I decided to ask. I''ll try to figure out who is maintaining it at webmin.com and work with him/her to fix/update the thing. It''s a useful tool, specially for dummies (some people frown at having to edit text files...). Thanks again for your kind answer. -- Henrique Cesar Ulbrich henrique.ulbrich@gmail.com Chuck Norris uses Debian, Shorewall and Webmin ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.

Hi Henrique> My client is running Debian Sarge (Stable), with Shorewall and > Webmin.

This is because the files themselves have lots of useful comments -- in Webmin, there are no explanations of what you are doing. By the way, Webmin has been removed from Debian (Etch/unstable) because the maintainer didn''t feel the adaption to Debian was of a reasonable quality. So I wouldn''t put my money on the Debian/Webmin combination.

you can try out latest version of webmin from this location http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/webadmin/webmin-1.260-1.noarch.rpm ... i did this too and it solved many of my problems.

I used webmin''s "update webmin" module. It updates the whole thing using the newest code directly from www.webmin.com. Voilà! (Almost) everything worked. But, as someone said, webmin is being phased out from Debian. I''ll have to figure out something else. I myself am configuring everything by hand (yes it is easier indeed) but you know how those Microsoft-minded IT managers are... Anyway, thank you everyone for your kind help. -- Henrique Cesar Ulbrich henrique.ulbrich@gmail.com ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.
