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.
I installed the webconfig accelerator, but it only helped a little. It still looks like everything has to startup when not used frequently. But it's workable. Webconfig is not used that much anymore now I'm ready. (just once a day for the quarantine section)
I just stopped testing the internal network, and I can tell you...... I'm a happy man.
Network speed is okay. Internet connection is Okay. And just 1 "502 bad gateway" error today.
It started a little disappointing, but after activating the Windows networking, speed went up from 1MB/s max to 10MB/s. (Speed depending on size of files.)
I'm a happy camper. (Thanks to You and Nick.)
PS. I still think there is somewhere in my network a faulty switch, but for now it works.
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.
Install it and be sure to set up the Service if you wish to have automated backups done without the need for your (or any other user) to be logged on.
1. Proceed with the initial installation; Choose your language, accept the License.
2. At the dialogue box where you are asked for the "installation directory, be sure that "Install the Volume Shadow Copy requester" is selected. This is what will allow you to backup "locked" files (i.e.: databases, email...).
That makes a lot of sense...of course I have to wonder why those choices were made. I presume for security. I am sure I will find out as I read on.
One of the reasons I am looking at creating a secure FTP connection is that I want to create a link between a piece of software and the server as a backup solution. The software I will be using is called Cobian Backup. It is a fantastic solution with scheduling and support for Volume Shadow Copies. Version 10 even has 64-bit support. No annoying Security Elevation request on Vista/7 either.
Would be amazingly great if we can get Cobian to work flawlessly with ClearOS
I recently update the ClearOS and I notice the charts now disappear..
I try to patch it again but it won't work:
-bash: dashboard-index.php.v2.patch: No such file or directory
How to get the chart back?
