Topic: SME Server 6.5 beta contribs compatibility issues

[slords]

It's important to see that some of the 6.5 RPM are really outdated and have some huge security hole...

If you believe this is true please point out any security issues and holes to security@contribs.org and they will be addressed.

If you are trying to just scare people please get your facts straight before posting.  Just because a package isn't the latest version number doesn't mean it isn't secure.  Redhat/Fedoralegacy backport many of the secruity patches to their versions.

Hi All,

I was testing/updating my ASSP anti-spam howto on 6.5b and ran into a problem right off the bat that someone might be able to help me with.

ASSP is a SMTP proxy. In the past, I modified the /etc/services file (custom template) so that SME listened on port 125 instead of 25. Then installed the proxy to listen on 25. I have lots of SME servers in production with ASSP.

My problem is that (apparently) with 6.5b, simply modifying the /etc/services SMTP entry is no longer sufficient to make the SME server listen on port 125. After rebuilding /etc/services and restarting services (even rebooting), SMTP is still active on port 25...like it completely ignores the /etc/services mod.

Is there, perhaps, a new database entry or something to make this mod?

Thanks for any insight you might provide.

p.s.  Sorry for the cross-post.  I posted on the experienced user form with no response.

The Floppy installation is broken in both beta 1 and beta 2. It got the same "Missing KS.cfg error" as the 6.0 version, but I can solve the problem for 6.0 by copy over the KS file from the CD. But now in 6.5, it tells me the CD is corrupted error for both betas. I really want to upgrade to 6.5, Anyone please help!!!!

Betas exist so that people can find and report bugs. The only correct place to report bugs is in the bug tracker on this site.

Is anyone using the login script contrib with 6.5b?  Any issues?

[chris burnat]

Has anyone installed spamfilter from Swert-knudsen? I have tried to install the new contrib with SA3 using the new 6.5 beta script found on the site:

Swerts-knudsen--->http://sme.swerts-knudsen.dk/downloads/SpamFilter/spamfilter_installbeta.sh

It installs OK on my 6.52 test box, but I experience an error each time I try to save a change.  Done it again on a fresh install, same results.
Any clues?
Thanks
christian

Comment on loginscript rpm:  I stopped using it when 6.0 came out...I wasn't bright enough to modify it for 6.0.  It was a nice contrib for prior versions...

After a lot of testing, I finally came up with a decent general-purpose login script that I use for all my customers.  I modify it a bit for each client, but it works well for both Win 9X and NT/2K/XP clients.  I'll post it if anyone is interested...

I figured out the configuration changes for changing port 25, so I have updated the ASSP spam filter howto and posted it here:

There has been very little testing on 6.5, so please e-mail me with any comments or errors.

The login script works fine with 6.0.1-1 you just have to run a small command to point things in the right dirrection and presto ... I'm running it right now on my michine ... works fine.

I have loaded it on my test 6.5 server ... I will run the command on it and see if it points things in the right dirrection on it tomorrow ... I have to bring the laptop home for testing it.

I'll let you know what happens.

I found the command to run to point thing in the right dirrection on SME 6.0.1-1 etc.

ln -s /home/e-smith/files/samba/netlogon /home/netlogon

Run it after you have loaded the loginscript rpm.

Regards,

Tib

Sorry for taking so long .... the loginscript rpm works fine in SME 6.5B2 ... I didn't have to run the command I posted earlier ... when I checked today it was pointing in the right direction ... but then again I loaded the loginscript rpm a while ago so I may have run the command then.

Just have a look in /home and see if you have a dir called netlogon in there .... if not then run the command I posted earlier.

Anyway it works fine ... I joined the 6.5 server domain and setup a small share and presto it worked as it should.

Regards,

Tib.

I tried to vpn to my test server running a fresh install of 6.5beta1.  I never could get past the 800 error.

Using the same setting on my client I can connect to another server running 6.01.

Any ideas of what new settings I need to enter or plug in.

Hi,

I installed fresh 6.5 and I want to install spam assasin, but swerts-knudsen script works only with 6.0
Is there any working script with 6.5? Thanks.

[wyron]

If you check New Contrib Announcements for February, you'll find a link to Knuddi's latest script for Clamav 0.83 !
 . . should be compatible with 6.5 (according to Knuddi).

Editing: Sorry - misread your question - forget the intrusion !

If you go back to Jesper's site, and copy the wget line just add beta to the end of the name before .sh.  You should download the beta install.

There is an initial issue with the script for 6.5, so go here to correct that:
