De ontwikkelaars achter Webmin hebben enkele dagen geleden versie 1.230 van hun gelijknamige programma uitgebracht. Met Webmin kan een op Unix-gebaseerd systeem via een web-interface worden onderhouden en geadministreerd. Zo is het bijvoorbeeld mogelijk user accounts beheren en instellingen wijzigen voor Apache, MySQL en file shares. Het programma wordt uitgegeven onder BSD-licentie en is in verschillende smaken vanaf deze pagina te downloaden. Het changelog van deze release laat de volgende veranderingen zien:
This release includes the following changes :[break]
- Fixed a security hole that allows a remote attack if the 'Support full PAM conversations?' option is enabled in the Webmin Configuration module. Thanks to JPCERT for finding this bug.
- Worked around a problem that could cause the loss of the /etc/webmin directory when upgrading from a Webmin RPM from another vendor.
- Added basic support for installing on Windows systems, using the new setup.pl script. This should be considered alpha-quality code at the moment.
- The Backup Configuration Files module can now backup the Webmin config file associated with a module, and a list of other arbitary files.
- The Cron module allows a start and end date to be specified for jobs.
- Added support for SQL queries and updates to the Custom Commands module.
- The Protected Web Directories module now support digest format password files, which are more secure.
- The MySQL and PostgreSQL modules support deleting multiple databases, tables, users, groups and permissions at once. They also handle large numbers of tables and databases better by displaying a search form instead of a huge list or table of icons.
- Added cross-monitor dependencies and support for deleting multiple monitors at once to the System and Server Status module.
