[webmin-announce] [webmin-l] Webmin 1.230 released

Hi everyone,

Webmin version 1.230 is now available for download from
http://www.webmin.com/ and mirror sites. This release includes
the following changes :

 - 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.

Because of the security hole in older versions of Webmin, I would recommend
upgrading to 1.230. Fortunately the vulnerable option is not enabled by
default and is rarely used, but you can't be too careful ..

Also available is Usermin 1.160, which includes the following changes :

 - Fixed the same security hole as in Webmin. 
 - The Cron module allows a start and end date to be specified for jobs. 
 - Added a simpler interface to the Mail Forwarding and Replies module,
   for setting up one or more of normal delivery, auto-responding and forwarding. 
 - The MySQL and PostgreSQL modules allow multiple tables to be deleted
   at once, and display search forms when a database has too many tables. 
 - The Upload and Download module can now be used to fetch a file from the
   server running Usermin to the PC on which your browser runs.

As always, please send me any bug reports or feature suggestions that
you might have.

 - Jamie
