That was it, genbase, size mismatch is gone.  I should have known that.  Thanks.

So, is it ready for me to give it a test spin? As my hero with the square pants says, "I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready..." ;D

If you would please, I've tested it to death as much as I can.  If you sign off on it, I'll send it up again.

THANKS!

I'll play with it for a while as time allows and let you know ASAP.

I sure appreciate the time you are putting into it. I hope the experience reaps some dividends for you.

Oh it has, I've learned quite a bit, fussing with this thing.  So far this was the most difficult thing I done.  I decided not to make java a dependency, the file module needs it, and tells you so, people can decide for themselves if they want it, but most people I know who are into servers, probably would not install it, unless they wanted it for something else.  The more stuff on it, the less secure it is, at least, so I'm told.

Well, I installed the latest version this evening and I must say... Joble, I wanted to kick your ****.  I think it should come with instructions to install from the root account, and not from a user account as guest, cause after I installed it my firefox and flock went kaplooey....   Started ff in konsole to see that my /tmp file was not writeable..  So I just changed it all by meself back to me:me...  BUT... other than that, it's fantastic!!!  Now I don't have to configure all the file paths to all the servers, because seems like it's done for me... Great!!!!!!   :D :D

tmp folder is still an issue?  WHAT?  I installed on my main install, installed on my minime usb, installed on my testbox, uninstalled and installed again, and again, and again!  Oh man, I'm gonna cry.  I don't know what to fix, if I can't break it.

He got you too? It will also zap your Thunderbird folders. I lost a month of email.  :( It will zap you again if you remove it so beware.

The script file is deleting the /tmp folder then creating it as root and unlinking the users /tmp folder. It should not be doing anything with the /tmp folder except for looking to see if /tmp/.webmin exists or not and if not then mkdir -p /tmp/.webmin

The thing is it appears to be written in some kind of perl script and I don't know perl very well.

BAD CODE here:

perl <<EOD;
# maketemp.pl
# Create the /tmp/.webmin directory if needed

\$tmp_dir = \$ENV{'tempdir'} || "/tmp/.webmin";
while(\$tries++ < 10) {
   local @st = lstat(\$tmp_dir);
   exit(0) if (\$st[4] == \$< && (-d _) && (\$st[2] & 0777) == 0755);
   if (@st) {
      unlink(\$tmp_dir) || rmdir(\$tmp_dir) ||
         system("/bin/rm -rf ".quotemeta(\$tmp_dir));
      }
   mkdir(\$tmp_dir, 0755) || next;
   chown(\$<, \$(, \$tmp_dir);
   chmod(0755, \$tmp_dir);
   }
exit(1);

I commented all that out though.

rm -fR /tmp/.webmin
mkdir -p /tmp/.webmin

That's what's in the spec file now.  It should be working, and I have no clue why it isn't.

Well, I'm not sending it up, till I know it works.  Sorry about your email, that didn't happen to me, even when it did mess with my tmp folder.

I'm going to remove this, I don't want anyone else to get messed up.  Maybe I will install some servers myself and play with it some more, but I'd rather work on something I can accomplish.

ElCuervo:  If you haven't already installed it, please don't.  I don't want to mess you up too.

If anyone wants to take this further, PM and I will get the src.rpm to you.

Didn't you test this?  I didn't hear anything about lost email from you, or travis.  I know, you're just having fun with me now, but I really do feel bad about it.

I was just jabbing at you. FWIW, I haven't had any problems with it at all on any of the systems I put it on. I can understand you frustration.

hehe... went out to shoot video of my pullets putting themselves to bed last night, then went to bed early... lucky for me! ;D

I am still going to install it on one of my test boxes (for you rookie testers out there, that is defined as a box with no stored data that matters to me ;D). Busy few days ahead, but I'll post back ASAP. (had to get an emissions test, so I'm overhauling a Pentium II 400MHz PC in return  ::))
