Topic: How to update Webmail

[Prab Gill]

Hi All,

Just founf the news on E-smith site about the security risk on Horde/IMP package.
E-smith site has also provided commands to do the updates:

FTP=ftp://ftp.e-smith.com/pub/e-smith/updates/4.1.2/RPMS/noarch/
rpm -Uvh $FTP/horde-1.2.6-2es.noarch.rpm  \
 $FTP/horde-mysql-1.2.6-2es.noarch.rpm  \
 $FTP/imp-2.2.6-2es.noarch.rpm


I could not figure out how to use these commands. Is this a one command or four different commands? I will appreciate if someone can explain how to use this command properly.

Regards.

It is two commands, broken up onto four lines for ease of reading.  If you enter the commands exactly as shown (pressing enter at the end of each line), it should work properly.

Hi Prab,

          I tried the commands as is in the e-smith website. But if the connection
to the internet is slow then you will get FTP transfer error. The depndencies
will not get resolved. You try the following.

Dowload the all the three RPMS listed in the e-smith FTP site.
I hope you can do download using the FTP commands.
ftp:// ftp.e-smith.com/
then enter the anonymous user name and enter your email id as password or
you can just "ENTER"
then you will get the ftp prompt ftp>
from there you change the folders
cd /pub/e-smith/updates/4.1.2/RPMS/noarch/
get "filname.rpm" (3times)

#rpm -Uvh(blank)horde-1.2.6-2es.noarch.rpm(blank)horde-mysql-1.2.6-2es.noarch.rpm (blank)imp-2.2.6-2es.noarch.rpm

You try the above command in one line. leave one space (blank)between the RPM packages.

Thanks Dan & Sankar. I was able to perform the update. I typed each line and pressed enter at the end of every line and it worked.
