I'd suggest that you do that via a minor modification to the existing
email config panel.

That means that your panel script is not setuid root, which means that you
are not building the file list in your RPM using genfilelist (from
e-smith-devtools).

Some comments:
- There's no QMail, only qmail.
- You shouldn't be writing another script which expands the template for
/var/service/smtpfront-qmail/runenv, you should be reusing the one which
already exists (mailfront-conf-env) via a symlink in your event directory.
This point becomes moot if you re-use the existing panel and its event
directory (email-update).
- I wouldn't bother to change the port which smtpfront-qmail listens on.
I'd just set up a port forward from the alternative port to port 25. That
way your LAN clients can still do SMTP on the standard port, and you won't
need to restart the smtpfront TCP listener. Note that I'm not sure whether
it's possible using the current portforwarding package to portforward to a
port local to the server. If not, then you'll need to change the
portforwarding package to make that possible.

The first question to ask yourself is whether you want the rpm to start the service. If the rpm will only ever be installed from CDROM, you don't want to start the service. If the rpm might be installed from CDROM, you won't want to start the service duing CDROM install, but you might want to at other times. You'll need to work out how to detect whether the installer is running, or the system is up and fully running. If the rpm will be installed by a higher level management system (some equivalent of Mitel blades), then service control might be provided by that system (so that you can ensure that all rpms are installed and configured before you try to start services). OK, now you want to start the service. If the service directory does not contain a 'down' file, there's nothing to do - svscan will find the service directory and start the service for you. If the service directory does contain a 'down' file (which it would if you wanted to delay startup of the service during bootup), then you would wish to start it, which you can do with any of: /etc/rc.d/init.d/ /etc/rc7.d/Snn svc -u /service/ Of these, only /etc/rc7.d/Snn will check the config database for a "status == enabled" property for the service. If you care about the db property, that's what you'll want to do. Whichever way you do it, "svc -u" will eventually be called, and is what will actually bring the service up. -- Charlie Brady [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mitel Networks Corporation http://www.mitel.com/ Phone: +1 (613) 592 5660 or 592 2122 Fax: +1 (613) 592 1175 A: Because we read from top to bottom, left to right.

I was going to make a comment, but coffee arrived, and I hit the wrong button. Back to the topic: As to what is allowed and not allowed, I would re-iterate that people should read the licenses which they are given, and if in doubt, consult a lawyer. As to the distribution in question, one would need to examine the software in more detail to verify compliance with the GPL. As you can see here: http://youresale.com/products/yes_license_agreement.php they 1) inform their customers that the GPL applies to some included software components and 2) assert licensing restrictions which are incompatible with the GPL on the product as a whole. IANAL, so I won't comment on the legality of their operation (Mitel's lawters can ponder that question). As a free software developer, I can say that their operation does not comply with the spirit of free software development - they are attempting to limit distribution of the software to "genuine MaPs (Mom and Pop Store)", and they are sharing none of their own developments/modifications with you and me. -- Charlie Brady [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mitel Networks Corporation http://www.mitel.com/ Phone: +1 (613) 592 5660 or 592 2122 Fax: +1 (613) 592 1175 A: Because we read from top to bottom, left to right.

One thing that yum won't handle gracefully (and perhaps no packaging system will) is the situation where there are multiple contrib repositories which have overlapping and conflicting dependencies. Another thing that yum won't do for you (as I've said before) is to determine what actions are required after all packages are updated to the newest version.

"req" and "rec" are not the same.
Are you not using "use strict;" in your script? The perl compiler usually
picks up errors like this.

No, Michael was wondering where you got the impression that SME 6 is based on RH 8. If you look at the release notes for 6.0, Greg, you'll see that RH7.3 updates have been used wherever possible (and appropriate).

Free software projects don't work that way. It's said that managing software developers is like herding cats; surely it's more so when the developers are volunteer and unpaid. Free software developers essentially work for themselves, and have to be self motivated. There aren't 437 device drivers in the 2.6 linux kernel because Linus directed a bunch of people to write them - they're there because a whole bunch of people had hardware that they wanted to get working. Co-ordination is definitely useful, but only if there is something to co-ordinate. There's lots of people out there with ideas, but they all count for nothing unless someone makes the ideas concrete. If you want to contribute, don't wait for "a boss" to tell you to do so. Find something that you'd like to see happen and make it happen, or at least start it happening. Work on the FAQ, for instance. Or document something. Have a poke around and understand how something works, and write down what you learn.

[e-smith-devinfo] Separate gateway functionality (Re: Suggestion for SME...)

If, say, ssh, http and smtp are forwarded from a firewall to an internal server, the internal server is just as vulnerable to flaws in those protocols as it would have been if it was also acting as the gateway. Where a separate gateway has most security advantage is in safety from internal attacks, especially internal attacks being leveraged to reconfigure the firewall. For many small offices that's not a significant problem at a practical level, whereas provisioning, managing and understanding multiple servers might be.

The "blades stuff" is Mitel proprietary, and in any case depends on infrastructure provided by ServiceLink. As others have suggested, there are a number of existing tools which manage package updates. I've found yum very easy to use. One area where all these tools fall short is in ensuring that services are reconfigured and restarted when required (and only when required).

Dovecot would have nothing to do with SMTP authentication - so I take it you are just referring to the full set of Damien's packages.

Spec file is attached. That should allow you to build your own binary
RPMs. Use "rpmbuild -bb --target=xxx powerswitch.spec".

[e-smith-devinfo] Compiling kernel modules (was Re: 2 questions)

An appropriate kernel is installed depending on the hardware discovered at
install time. You can learn which by running:

Yes and no. You might be very lucky and end up with a module which works
with your kernel but you are more likely to have done a lot of work to end
up with a module which doesn't load.
The easiest way to end up with a module which will load and work is just
to run "make" in the powerswitch directory after you untar the source.
RedHat have tweaked the kernel source so that you get compile options set
to build modules which exactly match your running kernel (google for
MODVERSIONS to find out exactly how this works). That'll work for you in
this case, but makes it much harder to build modules to match kernels or
architectures other than the build machine and its running kernel.
To build for other architectures you need to subvert the RedHat "do what I
think you mean" fixes, e.g:
KVERSION=2.4.20
KRELEASE=18.7
SMP=0 # or 1
CPU=i686 # or i586, i386, athlon
gcc -DMODULE -D__KERNEL__ \
-D__BOOT_KERNEL_H_ \
-D__MODULE_KERNEL_$CPU \
-D__BOOT_KERNEL_SMP=$SMP \
-DEXPORT_SYMTAB -DMODVERSIONS \
-include \
/usr/src/linux-${KVERSION}-${KRELEASE}/include/linux/modversions.h \
-Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O6 -c \
-Iinclude -I/usr/src/linux-${KVERSION}-${KRELEASE}/include \
-c powerswitch.c
I've knocked up a spec file for building RPMs, but I notice that the
powerswitch source tarball does not come with any license. This means that
I cannot redistribute the source (and neither can you), nor build binaries
RPMs and distribute them. It would be breach of copyright if we did.
Please contact the author and ask him to rebundle the source code with a
free license (preferably GPL, which we are certain is compatible with the
linux kernel license). Let me know when he has done so and I will build
and publish my RPMs.

The "first byte" (if ints were 16bits, in MSB order) of the exit code is
the return status of the command (see "perldoc -f system") - in this case,
signal-event returned 1.
This sequence:
> db_delete(\%accounts, $username);
> my $rc = system("/sbin/e-smith/signal-event", "user-delete", $username);
will eventually cause you problems. You won't be able to tell ahead of
time which actions will require some of the properties of the account you
are deleting in order to do their job. That will depend on what contribs
are installed. That's why we always first change the type to
"user-deleted", then run the "user-delete" action, then remove the db
entry for the account.
One of the actions and/or signal-event itself is returning an exit
status. You'll need to work out why.

There's no need to do anything other than create the correct /sbin/e-smith/dynamic-dns/xxx script. /etc/dhcpc/dhcpcd-eth1.exe already knows to call "signal-event ip-change" when an IP change occurs, and the configured dynamic dns script is already called as part of the ip-change event handling. > Maybe I'll get the time someday to wrap ddclient up in a self-installing > script for SME and post it on contribs.org ...

And in the special case of "service httpd start", you will be calling an
init script which we *never* call (with undefined results, of course). The
two web servers running in an SME server are called "httpd-e-smith" and
"httpd-admin".

Or create /sbin/e-smith/service, and placing /sbin/e-smith early in root's
PATH ... (doesn't solve the "httpd" problem though).

Perhaps you mean "service httpd restart"? We strongly discourage the use of "service".

You shouldn't template that file, as it's owned by another RPM, and isn't
a config file. I'd guess you need a small patch to the e-smith-mailfront
RPM. If so, the first step is to contact the author of that package and
let him/her/they know what feature you want.

I'd recommend moving to daemontools as soon as possible. It's not at all
hard, and it'll be more reliable. No need for a pid file, no pipes to
logger required. Ask here and/or the messagewall mailing list if you want
more detailed advice on using daemontools for monitoring/starting/stopping
processes.
