Hi,

looking at the list on my system:

[root@cc ~]# find / -print | egrep "rpmnew$|rpmsave$"
/etc/samba/smb.conf.rpmnew
/etc/rbs/rbs.conf.rpmnew
/etc/ssl/openssl.cnf.rpmnew
/etc/sudoers.rpmnew
/etc/suvad.conf.rpmnew
/etc/squid/squid.conf.rpmnew
/etc/system/webconfig.rpmnew
/etc/ntp.conf.rpmnew
/etc/ppp/options.ldap.rpmnew
/etc/ldap.conf.rpmnew

There are not many - so following the advice from your link I will have a look and see if i can deal with each as appropriate.

David Clayton created a new topic 5.1 > 5.2 upgrade by yum - warning messages in the forums.
Hi all,

when I did the yum upgrade last night I noticed three warning messages:

Installing: app-webconfig ##################### [119/336]
warning: /etc/system/webconfig created as /etc/system/webconfig.rpmnew

Updating : app-remote-backup ##################### [140/336]
warning: /etc/rbs/rbs.conf created as /etc/rbs/rbs.conf.rpmnew

Updating : app-ssl ##################### [144/336]
warning: /etc/ssl/openssl.cnf created as /etc/ssl/openssl.cnf.rpmnew

These warning messages did not stop the upgrade from completing successfully.

Why would the warning occur? (were the files mentioned in use at the time, and therefore locked?)

Do I need to take any action (such as restarting the system, or running the upgrade process again)?

apologies for my inexperience (Linux upgrades are not something I am familiar with).

Hi,

My system also displayed the 5.1 image until i cleared my browser's cache - and therefore forced a reload from the box - the 5.2 image came up straight away.

(I am using Mozilla SeaMonkey).

David Clayton replied to the topic Re: 1500 Users in the forums.
Hi Randall,

Clear OS is not designed for a system with that many users, but the software is all based on enterprise class code - so should have no problems performing network tasks such as proxy server / firewall etc for that number of users provided your hardware is up to the job. On a high specification hardware box i wouldn't see a problem. My system supports 150, so bit of a step up by *10.

I think that the community would be very interested to hear your results / experience should you install Clear - although with that number of users there may be other systems which better support your needs.

David Clayton created a new topic 5.1 > 5.2 upgrade by yum - kernel version in the forums.
Hi all,

I performed an upgrade of our box last night via yum. The upgrade went without problem, and yum stated that it completed successfully.

There was no prompt for a restart.

I logged in this morning and the system displays 5.2, so looking good.

In the hardware report the system is listed as having kernel version 2.6.18-164.6.1.v5 (SMP).

In the yum log I noticed the kernel being upgraded (kernel.i686 0:2.6.18-194.8.1.v5).

Excuse my Linux inexperience - but do I need to perform a restart of the system for some of the changes to take effect?

Peter Baldwin replied to the topic Re: Creating user accounts without passwords in the forums.
No worries Shawn... there was a similar reaction within the development team too. We didn't get far enough with the password policy engine in 5.2. In retrospect, I should have pushed it further during the beta.

Peter Baldwin replied to the topic Re:User updates from LDAP replicate not working. in the forums.
Hi Adam,

We'll be putting together a specific beta program on the master/replicate feature. I would hold off a few weeks until we get that program going


I followed this guide:
www.clearfoundation.com/docs/developer/f...eplication_settings.


The developer document that you referenced is a bit old since much of that was implemented in 5.2 (the ldapsetup command will do all the work). That command will work, but it's not fully baked yet.

I run into a problem when on the app server I try to add a service to a user (or change any information). I get an error that says "Strong(er) authentication required.

You won't be able to manage users from the replicate system. You have to update information on the master.

Could you clarify where you are seeing the 5.1 version?

Peter Baldwin replied to the topic Re:ClearOS 5.2 x64 ETA? in the forums.
This all depends on how quickly we migrate to the new build system. There's no ETA right now... sorry.
