New Virtualmin virtual-server 3.50

Howdy all,

I've just rolled out a slew of module updates to the repositories, starting with Virtualmin virtual-server version 3.50.

The Virtualmin module includes a serious security update for SquirrelMail, so if you are using that Install Script, you should upgrade immediately and update all installations of SquirrelMail. If you instead use the default Usermin web mail, you are not affected.

Changes in Virtualmin virtual-server since 3.49:

[ul] [li]When used, the ClamAV server clamd can be stopped and started from the system information page, just like MySQL and Apache.[/li] [li]Added the original website URLs for all script installers, displayed on the installation form and on the page showing details of an installed script.[/li] [li]Updated the phpMyAdmin script installer to 2.11.3, OpenAds to 2.4.2, phpBB to 3.0.RC8, ZenCart to 1.3.8, Plans Calendar to 7.9.8, Drupal to 5.5 and 4.7.10, Squirrelmail to 1.4.13, PHP-Calendar to 0.10.9, Flyspray to 0.9.9.4, and Instiki 0.12.0.[/li] [li]The initial administration login and password is displayed after installing a script.[/li] [li]Advanced autoreply options are hidden by default, to make the alias form less confusing.[/li] [li]When re-sending the signup email for a server, the owner's email address can be entered.[/li] [li]When there are too many servers on the List Virtual Servers page to show in a table, buttons to update and delete them all are displayed along with the seach form.[/li] [li]Added a Module Config option to make the Unix group name for a new domain always follow the username, and made group name selection more consistent across creation methods.[/li] [li]Moved the Administration username field into the first (visible) section of the Create Virtual Server page.[/li] [li]Cron jobs created by Virtualmin will still be recognized even if manually modified to redirect output or add other pre- and post-commands.[/li] [li]Virtualmin API scripts run via HTTP are now executed within the same process, which should make them about twice as fast.[/li] [li]Alias mail domains can now be implemented by copying virtusers into the alias rather than using a catchall. Under Postfix this allows email to invalid addresses in the alias domain to be rejected at the SMTP level. The default for this can be changed on the Server Templates page under Mail for domain, and it can be changed for existing domains on the Edit Virtual Server page.[/li] [li]Added the modify-aliascopy.pl command-line program to change the email aliasing mode (from catchall to copying virtusers).[/li] [li]Added --mailfiles flag to backup-domain.pl and restore-domain.pl, to save and restore inboxes outside of the home directory.[/li] [li]Shells for mailboxes and domain owners are now configured on the new Custom Shells page, linked under System Customization on the left menu. This allows you to define as many different shells as you like, for access levels like email only, FTP and SCP only. When editing mailboxes or domain owner limits, you can then select one of the defined shells.[/li] [li]Added the list-available-shells.pl command-line program, and added the --shell parameter to create-user.pl and modify-user.pl. Also updated modify-limits.pl so that the --shell option can specify any defined shell.[/li] [li]The size of the Webmin server process can be traded off against the speed of Virtualmin by adjusting the amount of library pre-loading done, using a new setting on the Module Config page.[/li] [li]Added the test-smtp.pl command for validating mail server relaying and logins.[/li] [/ul]<br><br>Post edited by: Joe, at: 2007/12/19 00:11
