This now works correctly for all days of the week. -- To increase reliability of backups to a Microsoft Vista drive, a one second delay was added to the backup. -- Allow user setting of compression level for Desktop and Console Backups. - For example: config setprop backupconsole CompressionLevel -6 - The default is -6, where -1 is fastest and -9 is optimal compression. -- In the console, under item 8, refer to removable media instead of USB device. -- After a restore from the console the post-upgrade event was not being performed. -- Add an option to use Wake on LAN before starting Workstation Backup. -- Workstation Backup, report cifs mount errors. -- Workstation Backup, be compatible with destinations that include spaces. -- Workstation Backup, remove temporary directory on success . -- Workstation Backup, add a choice to delete old backup before or after backup. -File Server ------------ -- Add support for Windows 8 domain joining & user login with a new registry file. - /server-resources/regedit/win8samba.reg -- New optional samba property smb{WideLinks}, valid values are 'no' or 'yes'. The current samba default is 'no'. - see http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/manpages-3/smb.conf.5.html#WIDELINKS - For example to enable samba Wide Links - # config setprop smb WideLinks yes -- Add windows network performance enhancements registry file that can help Windows slow logons. - /server-resources/regedit/windows_samba_performance.reg -- Two new optional samba properties smb{ServerMaxProtocol} & smb{ClientMaxProtocol}. - For example: # config setprop smb ServerMaxProtocol NT1 -- Remove the samba_audit specific logrotate configuration which was causing an email to be sent to the admin every night. -- Enable smb auditing per ibay, it is disabled by default. - Auditing is enabled via - # db accounts setprop ibayname Audit enabled - # signal-event ibay-modify ibayname -- Prevent emailing about the normal, weekly, checks of RAID arrays -- Update ServerName (Samba netbios name) when SystemName is updated -- Workaround a deficiency in the proftpd package where it does not handle long lines correctly in its configuration file. This caused FTP to fail when large numbers of local networks were configured. -- Ensure Deny from all is on its own line in 15LimitLOGIN + - Add pkgconfig dar + - New Upstream Version dar + + - Add requires nfs-utils + + - The nfs service is neither started or allowed to start + + - Workstation Backup, do not create folder in / + + + + + +LDAP -LDAP (Optional in SME 8.1, and considered experimental) ---- -- Fix init-account script when LDAP auth is enabled. -- Fix group creation/modification when LDAP auth is enabled. -- The ldap.init script which starts just after the ldap service waits for slapd to be to available. The logic to check if slapd is ready was corrected. -- Add missing dependency on openldap-servers. -- The ldap log files can take significant space on servers with a lot of users.

Two new optional database properties pop3{MemLimit} and pop3s{MemLimit} - For example to increase the memory limit - # config setprop pop3s MemLimit 50000000 - # expand-template /var/service/pop3s/env/MEMLIMIT - # config setprop pop3 MemLimit 50000000 - # expand-template /var/service/pop3/env/MEMLIMIT -- New optional qmail property qmail{ConcurrencyLocal} and default for /var/qmail/control/concurrencylocal changed to 20. - For example to decrease the local concurrecny limit - # config setprop qmail ConcurrencyLocal 6 -- Modify domain style pseudonym pointing to user with dot in name. -- Accept messages with no body and no trailing \n after headers. -- Prevent email delivery failure with required updates for perl-Net-DNS and qpsmtpd. -- New optional spamassassin property spamassassin{MaxMessageSize} to allow for spamassassin qpsmtpd's plugin size limit to be changed. - For example to also scan larger files - # config setprop spamassassin MaxMessageSize 1500000 -- Make CipherSuite secure by default and tls ciphers defaults to disallow SSLv2. -- Fix how qpsmtpd tags spam email. -- Add template to extend the functionality of SSL verified certificate to IMAP and SSMTP transactions -- Update ClamAV to release 0.97.8. -- Load TextCat plugin if ok_languages is enabled. + + - Updated to ClamAV release 0.98.6 + + - Updated to release ClamAV 0.98.5 + + - Add BuildRequires for openssl-devel and libxml2-devel + + - Remove Packager and Vendor from ClamAV spec file. + + - Updates to release ClamAV 0.98.4. + + - Updated to release ClamAV 0.98.3. + + - Remove the patch e-smith-email-5.2.0-UEsDBBQDAAAIA-new-signature.patch + + - Add new zip file signatures to default mailpatterns database : + UEsDBBQDAAAIA + + - Add new zip file signatures to default mailpatterns database : ZIPVOSX & + ZIPV3 + + - Fix stunnel path + + - Use stunnel instead of sslio to support TLS + + - Modify whitelist_soft transaction to interact with dnsbl filter + + by John Crisp + + - Remove DENYSOFT on SPF softfail qpsmtpd + + - Increase MemLimit to 700M for clamav-0.98 + + - Remove dnsbl.ahbl.org RBL List + Server manager + -------------- -- Do not load mod_ssl for httpd-admin as it is not needed and creates log noise. -- If the browser used to access the server-manager used lower case for %escapes a blank screen would be shown.
