Webmin in debian etch

install packages
  1. access wemin/usermin official website (http://www.webmin.com/) and get the latest debian packages, or simply run:
    wget http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/webadmin/webmin_1.350_all.deb
    wget http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/webadmin/usermin_1.280_all.deb
  2. first install their dependent packages:
    apt-get install libnet-ssleay-perl libauthen-pam-perl libio-pty-perl libmd5-perl
  3. therefore you can install webmin/usermin package without error message:
    dpkg -i webmin_1.350_all.deb usermin_1.280_all.deb
  4. also update your rc*.d and so webmin/usermin will startup correctly, and able to manage by using rcconf:
    rm -rvf /etc/rc*d/S*webmin*
    rm -rvf /etc/rc*d/K*webmin*
    rm -rvf /etc/rc*d/S*usermin*
    rm -rvf /etc/rc*d/K*usermin*
    update-rc.d -f webmin defaults 99 01
    update-rc.d -f usermin defaults 99 01
  5. you can now log into your webmin interface by https://www.example.com:10000 for webmin, and https://www.example.com:20000 for usermin
some follow up and tips
  1. remember to set auto-logout: the original debian's webmin package come with 15min auto-logout as default setting. this is a very good idea for increase the security level.

    go to "Webmin -> Webmin Configuration -> Authentication", active "Auto-logout after..." and set to 15min (case of webmin), or "Webmin -> Usermin Configuration -> Authentication", active "Auto-logout after..." and set to 15min (case of usermin)

  2. remember to set IP access control: as like as the case of above, original debian's webmin package come with only 127.0.0.1 (localhost) restricted access to webmin as default setting.

    go to "Webmin -> Webmin Configuration -> IP Access Control", click "Only allow from listed addresses", set to 127.0.0.1 and 192.168.0.0/16 (optional, you should fill in your LAN network) (case of webmin), or "Webmin -> Usermin Configuration -> IP Access Control", click "Only allow from listed addresses", set to 127.0.0.1 and 192.168.0.0/16 (case of usermin)

Block Internet Explorer in Squid

Blocking Internet Explorer with the Squid Web proxy


/etc/squid/squid.conf :

#We want to block IE, but some sites are only working under IE
# so we put up a list of URLs for Internet Explorer in the following file

acl allowed_url_IE url_regex -i "/etc/squid/allowed_url"

### The ACL for the IE user-agent
acl internet_explorer browser MSIE

### The world
acl all src 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0

### Internal Network
acl lan src 192.168.1.0/24

### allowed machines in the network to use IE

acl ie_allowed_machine src 192.168.1.100/32

### First, we are allowing the IE-machine here
http_access allow ie_allowed_machine internet_explorer

### here, we are denying Internet Explorer,
### except for the "safe URL" list that is still allowed.
http_access deny internet_explorer !allowed_url_IE

### Now, after the restrictions, we are allowing our network.
http_access allow lan

### And finally blocking the rest of the world.
http_access deny all

The Allowed url ACL file (/etc/squid/safe_url) looks like this :
