| 74 |
|
- In the console, under item 8, refer to removable media instead of USB device. |
| 75 |
|
- After a restore from the console the post-upgrade event was not being performed. |

see http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/manpages-3/smb.conf.5.html#WIDELINKS |
| 83 |
|
For example to enable samba Wide Links |

| 90 |
|
- Enable smb auditing per ibay, it is disabled by default. |
| 91 |
|
Auditing is enabled via |
| 92 |

| 93 |
|
# signal-event ibay-modify ibayname |
| 94 |
|
- Prevent emailing about the normal, weekly, checks of RAID arrays |
| 95 |
|
- Update ServerName (Samba netbios name) when SystemName is updated |
| 96 |

| 99 |
|

| 102 |
|
- Fix group creation/modification when LDAP auth is enabled. |

| 104 |
|

|
- The ldap log files can take significant space on servers with a lot of users. This update will ensure old BDB log files are removed. |

|
- Avoid use of unitialised variables in smtp migrate fragments. |
| 117 |
|
- Allow smtp_auth_proxy to use port 587 with STARTTLS. |
| 118 |
|

| 119 |
|
For example to remove CRAM-MD5: |
| 120 |
|
# db configuration setprop smtp-auth-proxy Blacklist CRAM-MD5 |
| 121 |
|
# sv t /service/smtp-auth-proxy |
| 122 |

# db configuration setprop smtp-auth-proxy Blacklist "CRAM-MD5 DIGEST-MD5" |
| 124 |
|
# sv t /service/smtp-auth-proxy |
| 125 |
|

| 126 |
|

| 127 |
|
For example to increase the memory limit |
| 128 |
|
# config setprop pop3s MemLimit 50000000 |
| 129 |
|
# expand-template /var/service/pop3s/env/MEMLIMIT |
| 130 |
|
# config setprop pop3 MemLimit 50000000 |
| 131 |
|
# expand-template /var/service/pop3/env/MEMLIMIT |
| 132 |
|
- New optional qmail property qmail{ConcurrencyLocal} and default for /var/qmail/control/concurrencylocal changed to 20. |

| 135 |
|
- Modify domain style pseudonym pointing to user with dot in name. |
| 136 |
|
- Accept messages with no body and no trailing \n after headers. |
| 137 |
|
- Prevent email delivery failure with required updates for perl-Net-DNS and qpsmtpd. |
| 138 |
|
- New optional spamassassin property spamassassin{MaxMessageSize} to allow for spamassassin qpsmtpd's plugin size limit to be changed. |
| 139 |
|
For example to also scan larger files |
| 140 |
|
# config setprop spamassassin MaxMessageSize 1500000 |
| 141 |
|
- Make CipherSuite secure by default and tls ciphers defaults to disallow SSLv2. |
| 142 |

|
| 147 |

Server manager |
| 148 |
|
-------------- |
| 149 |
|
- Do not load mod_ssl for httpd-admin as it is not needed and creates log noise. |
| 150 |
|
- If the browser used to access the server-manager used lower case for %escapes a blank screen would be shown. The server manager URL processing is now case-insensitive for %escapes. |
| 151 |
|
- Fix more uninitialized warnings in log (httpd/admin_error_log) from HTML.pm. |
| 152 |
|
- Remove log noise (httpd/admin-error-log) when accessing the Create Starter Web panel in server-manager |
| 153 |
|
|
| 154 |
|
|
| 155 |
|
Webmail and Groupware |
| 156 |
|
--------------------- |
| 157 |
|
|
| 158 |
|

| 159 |
|
- Webmail no longer uses SSL over loopback interface. |
| 160 |
|
|
| 161 |
|
|
| 162 |
|
Web Server |
| 163 |
|
---------- |
| 164 |
|
- Disable index listing of Apache icons folder. |
| 165 |
|
- PHP's magic_quotes are deprecated so should no longer be used. The php.ini will now have "magic_quotes Off" instead of fully removing it as the default is ON. |
| 166 |
|
- Change wording of Software Update button. |
| 167 |
|
|
| 168 |
|
|
| 169 |
|
Other fixes and updates |
| 170 |
|
----------------------- |
| 171 |
|
- Use UTF-8 in the console. |
| 172 |
|
- Remove old System Name from the Hosts DB |
| 173 |
|
- Fix warning in /var/log/messages by correctly initialising the relevant variable. The warning related to the HW Address of a NIC. |
| 174 |
|
- user-modify-unix script could take many minutes, it has now been optimised to take only seconds |
| 175 |
|
- The memory limit for pppoe was increased to 100Mb. |
| 176 |
|
- On upgrading from SME Server 7 to SME Server 8 an email could be sent to the admin everyday due to a modified /etc/updatedb.conf file. This update ensures the correct /etc/updatedb.conf file. |
| 177 |
|
- Updated SME root server template as D-root changed its IPv4 address on the 3rd of January. |
| 178 |
|
- The console would crash when no value is entered as static gateway in servergateway(-private) mode. Improved error-checking in isValidIP() prevents this. |
| 179 |
|

| 180 |
|
