"Ghost" virtual server appeared and can't be deleted

Submitted by guzabi on Thu, 09/09/2010 - 09:29

I don't know how this happened, but two virtual servers have been created on my system. They are very strange. In the left menu, they appear as "128117018631484" and "128117018631315" (looks like strange date-formats from procmail). They don't have any domain name, users, home directory whatsoever associated with them. The only service active is "mail".

Here's what I see in "Edit Virtual Server" : Virtual server details Domain name
Administration username
Created on 07/Aug/2010 10:35 by root Home directory

What's even stranger, I can't delete them. When I try, I get a "Domain (blah) is not valid!" error.

I didn't notice anything strange happening on the system around the time of creation of these VS (I wasn't even around).

I'd like to delete these server, manually if necessary. How do I do some cleanup ? Thanks in advance.

I've seen this once or twice, but have been unable to work out the cause or replicate the problem when testing. The quick fix is to SSH in , cd to the /etc/webmin/virtual-server/domains directory and delete the 128117018631484 and 128117018631315 files.
