This module has several settings that control how its user interface appears and how scans for servers are done. You can edit them by clicking on the Module Config link on the main page, which will bring up a form containing the fields shown in Table 53.1.
Table 53.1. Module Configuration Options
Resolve found server addresses
When Yes is selected, the module will convert the IP addresses of any servers found by scanning or broadcasting into hostnames. You should only need to select No if reverse address resolution is slow or broken on your network.
Time to wait for scan responses
This field sets the number of seconds that the module will wait for a response to packets sent out to find other Webmin servers. It may need to be increased from the default of 5 seconds if you are scanning a remote network.
Show servers as
When Table is chosen, servers on the main page will be listed as rows in a table, which can be useful as it takes up less space than the default Icons mode. More details are also shown for each server.
Sort servers by
This field controls how servers on the main page are sorted. The options are:
IP Address
Servers are sorted by the IP address to which their hostnames resolve.
Hostname
Sorting is done by the servers' hostnames.
Description
Sorting is by the text that appears below the servers' icons.
OS
Servers are sorted by the operating system that you select for them.
Group
Servers are sorted into their chosen groups.
Order created
Servers are simply listed in the order in which they were added to this module.
Show status for servers
If Yes is selected, the editing form for a server will include a new Server status field that shows the version of Webmin it is running or an error message if the system cannot be contacted or logged into. This field will only appear in Login via Webmin with username mode.
MSC cluster groups directory
This field can be used to specify a directory containing additional server groups in the format used by MSC Software's clustering tools.
