<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> I wanted to add more details to
my previous post on this delima.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> Besides the root password
,corrupting, I also have had a couple other things ,that I beleive are related
to using Webmin.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> I 'm thinking one constant is
that this has always happened when using Webmin >remotely<( from
home.)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> Wondering if going through our
NAT box/firewall,,,that Webmin sees both servers as the same "external" IP
addrress?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> Another thing that has happend
is after using Webmin,,a few times,remoteley is,,,that VNC will quite
working.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> If I try and even do a manual
start of vnc server vnc fails to start. I have never gotten vnc to work/start
again,after this. I've tryed to look at all of the vnc
settings/config files and cant see what has changed (or even possible files that
have disappered ,pertaining to vnc). I
even done a --force install of the vnc/vnc-server rpm to see if it clears this
up,,but no joy:(.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> I can live without the vnc not
working,,and the K12LTSP clients still can log in ok. I m just "wondering what
causes this.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> 2. A few times after using
Webmin,also, (and vnc no longer works) I go to the console,and ,alas,, I have
several "segmentation faults"...when rebooting the affected server. ( hard drive
corruption or just files having been deleted/corrupted somehow)???.Needless,,to
say,,at this point the only option is to reformat,as I m dead in the
water.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> Webmin is a very handy tool
,,but for now I m guessing I m only going to use it,"internally" inside of the
LAN.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> This scenario has happend on all
of our four K12LTSP servers over the last few months, so I m sure it isnt a
"particular" hardware situation.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> BTW: thanks to all that posted
on how to recover the "corrupted" root password,,but I've had no luck getting
the root password to work after this scenario.Reformat time(ugh!).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> Possibly someone could post
a:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> 1. xxxx</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> 2. xxxx</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> 3. xxxx</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> format to walk a dummy like
me,,through the root password recovery process.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> I can do the Rescue Disk
recovery from a boot,CD,and get to the command line,,but then a cant get to the
"change root password"... command?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> Just wondering if anyone has
used Webmin,, much,,and experienced the same results?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> Thanks,,</FONT></DIV>
