Lazy Admin Tools
« on: December 28, 2012, 04:13:52 PM »
From the searches and posts that I've read, it seems that the Lazy Admin Tools (LAT) have not been updated/maintained in quite a while.  So, I have a few questions...
  • Does LAT work on SME8?
  • If not, what is the recommended mass account-creation method?
  • If so, are there any bugs (other than '@' in pseudonyms)?
  • Are there any plans to update LAT for repository (yum) installs?
Thanks, for any info.

I see, now, that LAT is in the SME8 repository.
Is it safe to say that the following command will work?

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]

The contrib does not appear here
http://wiki.contribs.org/SME8.0_Contribs_QA
so no-one has yet reviewed it & reported, so maybe you can be the first.
As you say it has been put into the sme 8 contribs repo.

Clearly JPialasse has created the rpm way back in May 2012, so I would imagine it should install OK.

The install works well, but there are a few bugs I hit, already.
  • During install, the scripts are not given proper permissions in /usr/sbin (Bug 7138)
  • When updating a user, WARNINGS are generated when 'rssh.conf' is expanded (Submitted Bug 7192)
Code: [Select]

I've managed to work past the WARNINGS, by inserting the following code into Line 73 of '/usr/sbin/lat-users'.

ORIGINAL Code:
Code: [Select]
"Street", $fields[6],
MODIFIED Code:
Code: [Select]
"Shell", "/usr/bin/rssh",
"VPNClientAccess", "no",
"Street", $fields[6],
** PLEASE NOTE: When updating users with 'lat-users' the 'Uid' is changed in '/home/e-smith/db/accounts'.  I don't think this is supposed to happen (Uid is not changed, when using Server-Manger), so I would only suggest using 'lat-users' to create users, at this time.  Also... 'lat-users' does not create the default 'firstname.lastname' and 'firstname_lastname' pseudonyms, like Server-Manager does, during the user creation process.  To create the default pseudonyms, you will either need to run the 'lat-pseudonyms' script, or click 'Modify' and 'Save' on every user in Server-Manager.

It looks like 'lat-groups' has issues too.  I see three warnings that occur.
The first code-wrap is the warnings only.  The second code-wrap is the entire 'messages' event log.
These WARNINGS only seem to happen when using 'lat-groups' to CREATE a new group.  Adding users to an existing group works without errors.

WARNINGS Only:

From my notes, this is how I installed this package:

Code: [Select]
wget  http://www.sme-server.de/download/sme7/contribs/smeserver-lazy_admin_tools-0.9.1-2.noarch.rpm
yum -y localinstall smeserver-lazy_admin_tools-0.9.1-2.noarch.rpm
Followed by a patch:
Code: [Select]
sed s/'\[a-z\\-\\_\\d\\.\]'/'\[a-z\\-\\_\\d\\.\\@\]'/ \
/usr/sbin/lat-pseudonyms > /usr/sbin/my-lat-pseudonyms
chmod 770 /usr/sbin/my-lat-pseudonyms
I don't remember where I picked this up, tho...

This was the manual install for SME7, which also has issues on SME8.
SME8 has it's own contrib, which has similar issues.

Perhaps time to open a bug with all information, JPialasse would probably appreciate knowing about your experiences, not sure if he has time to trawl the Forums.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I've already submitted some bug reports regarding these issues.  =)

No need to be sorry.  I just hope that someone will pick up this project, again!
