109  - From June 2009 smeserver-rkhunter was removed from smeos and made a  - Fix group-modify event to honour ibays group assignment.
110    contrib.  - Don't exit 99 from e-smith-service script when called with 'condrestart'
111  - Do not allow re-allocation of deleted Windows user profiles.    and service is disabled.
112  - Template sshd login grace time  - Correct the ldif file expansion for groups to include the uid element and fix
113  - Correct the configuration of smartd to monitor hard disk status, but    the objectClass.
114    default to disabled.  - Apply patch to allow rsync v3.0+ to work (needs -e parameter).
115  - Display the boot time menu by default by removing the hiddenmenu entry  - Add random wait timer for check4updates script to distribute load on ibiblio.
116    from the default grub.conf to be in line with the documentation.  - Update yum to handle CentOS 4 moving to the vault.
 - Enable error logging for MySQL.  
 - When user or group names with a "." in the names exist,  
   running /sbin/e-smith/audittools/aliases will show more than the  
   expected list.  
 - Improve the quality of the mirrors by using a network mirror-list. The  
   list is automatically generated hourly based on the status of the  
   current mirrors. By using these mirror-lists it is ensured that people  
   are directed to an updated mirror. When a mirror is added or removed

   packages. This stops accidental removal of core SME Server packages.  
 - Introduced (weak) kernel modules which are independent of kernel  
   version. This means there is no need to update/rebuild kmods for each  
   kernel update.  
 - Fix for VPN access failed with buffer too small errors.  
 - Require /sbin/mdassemble so mkinitrd works correctly.
