Show Usermin links for user accounts only if Usermin is activated

Submitted by yngens on Tue, 01/29/2013 - 05:03

Hi,

I prefer to install SquirrelMail or RoundCube for my users and always turn Usermin off. However Usermin links on a user account creation page is always there. Is it possible to make this link seen only if Uermin is activated?

Good idea .. I will make that change in the next Virtualmin release.

This is not so much important issue, however there is another USermin-related inconsistency.

Today, running 'yum upgrade' on one of our Visrtualmin installations, which rely on SquirrelMail and doesn't use Usermin at all, I noticed the system updated Usermin. Would be nice, if Usermin wouldn't load/update at all for the systems which don't use it. Is it possible to keep Usermin completely separated from Virtualmin?

You can just un-install the usermin package if you don't use it.

Oh, I didn't know I could do that. Thanks for the suggestion. I will remove Usermin right away and since I've got this suggestion from you, Jamie, I just assume it will not break the Virtualmin system itself.

Yes, the rest of Virtualmin will be fine.

I could find only "Usermin Configuration" in the list of Webmin modules as shown on the attached screenshot, no USermin module as such. I hope that is the right module to delete, isn't it? Thanks!

Update: On attempt to delete "Usermin Configuration" it has given the following error:

Failed to delete modules : Module Usermin Configuration cannot be deleted, as the module Cluster Usermin Servers depends on it

So I first deleted "Cluster Usermin Servers" module and then "Usermin Configuration". Is it correct way of removing Usermin from the system?

The simplest way to un-install is to SSH into the system as root and run rpm -e usermin

rpm -e usermin

gives:

error: Failed dependencies:
usermin >= 1.160 is needed by (installed) virtualmin-base-1.0-63.rh.noarch

You may need to run rpm -e --nodeps usermin
