lat-pseudonyms was written for SME 5 or 6, and only marginally converted to operate without generating error messages when SME 7 was released.

I don't think that SME 5 or 6 supported pseudonyms containing '@', hence the restriction...

What I dont understand is int he instructions for the Pseudonyms it says you can create pseudonyms with "@" in it. But the lat-pseudonym script doesnt allow you to??

Maybe because there is a bug in the lat-pseudonym that hasn't yet been reported to its author, via the bug tracker.

It is not reported AFAICT, but even the bugtracker marks it as unsupported.

The package was abandoned some years ago, but it seems there is still some interest. So perhaps someone is willing to step up and maintain it.

I use lat-users a lot with SME7.5.1 to bulk add/delete users - a most useful tool in a public education environment.
lat-users, being part of the lat-tools package is *very* important to us.

I sure hope someone will maintain it as shawnbishop and I can't be the only current users?

Cheers,
SME Server is a fantastic product - thank you!

Then perhaps someone in the public education environment should step forward and undertake, or fund, maintenance.

I see that LAT is in the SME8 repository.
Is it safe to say that the following command will work correctly?
And if so, has the '@' symbol issue been resolved in this release?

Code: [Select]
yum --enablerepo=smecontribs install smeserver-lazy_admin_tools

It appears to find and want to install LAT v1.0-1.el5.sme

Code: [Select]
