Topic: configuration questions

[demonx]

Hi All
I have a couple questions on sme 7.0
Is there a way to disable the automatic creation of pseudonyms?
I still want to be able to create them manually.
Is there a way to disable the requirement for secure imap, pop, and smtp when connecting from outside the local network? I want to allow standard imap, pop, and smtp from anywhere.

Demonx,

  I don't think the Wiki covers this and probably should not because this requires a modification to the code.  Damien Curtain made changes like this in the old 5.6 code and I've updated when you need to to here.  I've created it as a patch for e-smith-base-4.18.0-69.el4.sme, but everytime someone modifies e-smith-base you'll have to reapply this patch.

  Hope this helps.  BTW: we are doing this on a system with almost 3000 user and an ISP that does not want to provide pseudonyms.

# make a backup
cp /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/esmith/FormMagick/Panel/useraccounts.pm /root/

# grab and load the patch
wget http://www.hitechsavvy.com/downloads/patch_useraccounts.pm_remove_pseudonyms
patch /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/esmith/FormMagick/Panel/useraccounts.pm < patch_useraccounts.pm_remove_pseudonyms

Note Bene: Use this at your own risk, modifying the PERL behind the GUI is risky.

Jay - Did you create a bug ticket for a NFR/Code review ?

[jfarschman]

Byte,

  Errr... no I didn't.  My sense is this is useless code.  Why on earth would anyone want to run a server with 3000 users? or why would someone want to turn off pseudonyms for a normal site.

  Honestly... should I post this for review

At least the code is there if they wish to turn it off if a bug was raised. But like you say 3000 users 

  Honestly... should I post this for review

I would as I'm only directing users to the bugzilla once there a core dev will be able to review this and decide whether it would be a option to turn off in case of the very scenario or mark as suitable.

posted to bugzilla. thanks.
