RX1000/RX1100™

This menu allows you to log actions taken by Webmin administrators.

It is also possible to log actions based on the module where the actions are performed.

The Log resolved hostnames field will cause Webmin to provide a hostname rather than just an IP
address for the client computer that performed an action.

The Clear logfiles every...hours field causes Webmin to rotate its own logs and keep them from
overfilling the disk with old logs.

Currently, the Log actions by all users field should be left selected.

The Log changes made to files by each action field causes verbose logging and should be left
enabled.

2.2.4. Authentication

Figure 2.6. Webmin Configuration Menu, Authentication

This menu allows you to configure what Webmin will do when a number of failed logins from the same
IP address occur.

If the Enable password timeouts field is selected, the host will be blocked for the specified period
of time. If the Log blocked hosts, logins and authentication failures to syslog field is selected,
warning messages will be added to the syslog.

Enabling the Enable session authentication field, activating “Auto-logout after..” will cause an
individual administrators session to be logged out after the specified period.
