Not there yet... it's coming!
The radius that's in ClearOS is that only as a connector or will it be possible to use RADIUS as your authenticator to make users and groups ?
I don't know RADIUS at all. I was involved with the implementation, but I have no idea how that implementation is supposed to work. If you send a PM to David Loper, he might be able to provide some guidance (preferably in the forums instead of in private though). As it stands today, RADIUS will not be appearing in Marketplace in the final release. We'll keep it installable via yum, but right now I don't even know if it works
I don't see in the user section where you can add services per user like in 5.2 i.e. give them access to windows networking/mailbox. Is it not possible to do this anymore or is this feature not in yet?
The options are still there, but the Windows Networking option is hidden (for now). All other options (PPTP, Web Proxy) are there under "App Policies" when creating/editing a user. There's even a new "Shell Extension" available in Marketplace if you want to enable shell access for users (geeks only!). For Windows Networking, there's some debate on how much information to expose, notably:
For those running a simple file server, those last 3 fields are not relevant (confusing and just clutter). For now, we'll probably just go with "Account Status" and leave the rest hidden.
Oh... the Horde/Kolab mail system will be available in the 6.3 release (which is when we plan on supporting 5.x upgrades in some kind of way). Zarafa and Google Apps are going to be the "default" mail systems in version 6. I don't know if "default" is the right word here since we're leaving it up to end users. The "install wizard" will probably step folks through this step, i.e.
Pick a Messaging/Groupware Solution
- Google Apps
- Zarafa Standard / Zarafa Community
- Horde/Kolab
I imported the package into the build system and did a successful test build. I need to ping Tim and Shad about a couple of open topics and we should then be able to roll with a build. More to come!

Upgrading a developer environment is always a bit trickier! I just did that today and had to purge some cruft. It should be less of a hassle as time goes on.
Also is the version of this RPM correct? clearos-logos-community-60.0.14-2.v6.1.noarch.rpm ...60 seems a little high, perhaps 6.0?
That's just the upstream version number - definitely an odd one though.
In developing Flexshares, I was surprised (and spent way too much time) to find that I couldn't hide folders that a user did not have permissions to access.
So...I'm not sure you're in 'good' company...but you're not alone!
If you find a solution, I'd be happy to implement it.

Yes! I sent an e-mail to Tim many many weeks ago to start the process of getting one of his RPMs/apps migrated to the build system. We were going take that experience to build out the remaining documentation and workflow processes. Most of this is already done @ www.clearfoundation.com/docs/developer/packaging/start -- we just need to refresh the docs.
The plan kind of fizzled out, but we'll revive it soon. My main focus is getting this release out the door of course
Of course it's a critical issue, just not a "super critical" issue. If this were a remote exploit or one which is enabled by default (or enabled by a lot of folks), we would have moved on it before the usual monthly date.
In 5.x, we can't roll Transmission, media servers and other non-business stuff into the web-based installer. We don't want those things showing up in business settings of course. By splitting into multiple editions, that giant roadblock is now gone
Yes, Zarafa Community will be available along with Zarafa Small Business. It's going to lag the 6 release a little bit since there's a bit of chicken/egg with respect to whole Zarafa ecosystem (aligning all the business/subscription stuff with the technology bits). The Zarafa libraries (mostly your code!) and LDAP extension are sitting in SVN... I just need to light it up again.
