[Devil-linux-develop] [fmII] Samba 3.0RC1 released (3.0.x branch)

[<no...@fr...>]

This email is to inform you about the release of version '3.0RC1' of
'Samba' through freshmeat.net. All URLs and other useful information can
be found at

    http://freshmeat.net/projects/samba/

The changes in this release are as follows:
Active Directory support. This release able to join an ADS realm as a
member server and authenticate users using LDAP/Kerberos. A new "net"
command has been added. It is somewhat similar to the "net" command
in Windows. Numerous other utilities (such as smbpasswd) will
eventually be replaced with subcommands in "net". Better Windows
2000/XP/2003 printing support, including publishing printer
attributes in Active Directory. New loadable RPC modules. Support for
migrating from a Windows NT 4.0 domain to a Samba domain and
maintaining user, group, and domain SIDs. 

Project description:
The Samba software suite is a collection of programs that implements
the SMB protocol for unix systems, allowing you to serve files and
printers to Windows, NT, OS/2 and DOS clients. This protocol is
sometimes also referred to as the LanManager or Netbios protocol. 

If you would like to cancel subscription to releases of this project,

[Devil-linux-develop] [fmII] Cyrus IMAP Server 2.1.15 released (2.1 branch)

[<no...@fr...>]

This email is to inform you about the release of version '2.1.15' of 'Cyrus
IMAP Server' through freshmeat.net. All URLs and other useful information
can be found at

    http://freshmeat.net/projects/cyrusimapserver/

The changes in this release are as follows:
This release corrects a minor vulnerability in the fud daemon. It also
fixes a significant number of bugs in the mailbox reconstruct tool,
and has a re-implementation of arbitron for the current seen state
format.  

Project description:
The Cyrus IMAP server is generally intended to be run on sealed
systems, where normal users are not permitted to log in. The mailbox
database is stored in parts of the filesystem that are private to
Cyrus. All user access to mail is through the IMAP, POP3, or KPOP
protocols. The private mailbox database design gives the server large
advantages in efficiency, scalability, and administratability.
Multiple concurrent read/write connections to the same mailbox are
permitted. The server supports access control lists on mailboxes and
storage quotas on mailbox hierarchies, multiple SASL mechanisms, and
the Sieve mail filtering language.

I tried it both with and without that option, and it won't compile.
Maybe because GCC or the kernel (or something) was compiled with SSP?

What would happen if we don't turn on the SSP option in krb5
but leave it on in all the other scripts?  Would that cause
other problems with Kerberos?  I won't do it until I hear back.

Done.

I also added a warning message and a 60 second pause if the release
numbers are different, recommending that the media be upgraded.
(if you don't like it, feel free to nuke it)

I also fixed USB support which was totally hosed in the latest DL:

First linuxrc couldn't mount the USB device, and I had to do a fake
mount (-f) to get the usb-storage driver loaded before the real mount.

Then pre_init couldn't mount the USB device with "-t auto" for some
reason (weird), so I put it in a "for" loop trying all the valid
filesystem types.

Both USB problems were verified on VMware 4, and a real PC.
(and now fixed! :)

I also fixed the mount_cdrom script (when it fails and reboots), 
because the "let" command doesn't seem to be supported in ash.
Also, the new busybox "reboot" doesn't work, so I let it crash.

Hope you're having/had a great vacation!   :-)

Let's say it "should" not run, but Postfix seems to have a pretty nice

I have to admit, I was a little confused by the mention that chroot jail
won't work for postfix, simply because I had it running that way.

It is nice to know that I wasn't too crazy....

I was investigating a bit, the chroot jail for postfix should be 
functional in the current setup.

The Bind chroot shouldn't be functional.

It's in /sbin/pre_init

You find this script in build/scripts/pre_init .
I had to re-arrange the boot process quite a bit, to get the memory 
usage down.

MSDOS allow me to put in 16MB, but no lower.
"Other" still has a 32MB minimum.

It seems to boot fine in 16MB.  I can't try any lower on VMware 4,
but that's fine with me.  I've very happy with 16MB!

It does.  I have the script fixed so it copies to blank floppy now.

I am confused about something else.  Along with etc.tar.bz2, there is a
new config file named var.tar.bz2.  Seems logical ...  except I cannot
find anyplace where it untars var.tar.bz2 in the linuxrc script.  Is it
untared somewhere else, or did you forget to untar it?
