Echo...... Just checking to see if anyone was still here. We upgraded from 8.5.0 to 8.7.0 server (with a required stop at 8.5.3 server for about 5 seconds, which was annoying), on Linux over the holidays. Smooth upgrade, and no client issues so far. Haven't heard any complaints about the 8.7 Palm conduits. The new Ajax-y web calendar is quite nice. We did notice that the internal name for the release is a bit interesting: the server is listed "version 8.7.0b27 (Devel)", and the client auto-upgrade files are listed as "8.7.0 d(27) Pre-release." Yeah. While doing the upgrade, I noticed that MM snuck barely documented PAM authentication support into some release somewhere, I think 8.5.2. Anyone else using PAM authentication? Any issues you've found? We have PAM configured to use our LDAP directory and it is working swimmingly. We have noticed that if there is any even momentary connection loss between the MM server and the LDAP server, the mmserver daemon needs to be restarted for auth to work again. Fortunately not an occurrence outside of testing. All in all, not bad though. -- -- Jeff Hardy Systems Analyst hardyjm <at> potsdam.edu * MMXP-TALK Web Page: http://WWW.LISTSERV.Emory.Edu/Archives/MMXP-TALK.HTML(Continue reading)
