Hi all,
I'm sorry to say it, but:
Last weeks CMU was bugged *pretty* badly as we found out yesterday.
It generated CMU exports which will NOT allow you to restore websites
correctly. After a restore all public web files will be owned by user "root" -
instead of whoever should really own them. This problem was caused by an
unexpected and different behaviour of the Perl module Perl::Stat under
Perl-5.8.X.
So please use YUM to "yum update" to the latest CMU which was just released.
If you downloaded the BlueOnyx CMU PKG for BlueQuartz, then please grab an
updated PKG as well. It is available here:
http://www.blueonyx.it/index.php?page=migration-utility
Like said: That's a PKG for BlueQuartz - NOT BlueOnyx! BlueOnyx users get CMU
through YUM.
Detailed release information:
5106R-CMU:
===========
This RPM installs a fixed "Cobalt Migration Utility". The CMU released last
week had another critical issue that required extensive fixing. Although it
seemed to work fine, all cmuExports generated from it will restore the public
websites with the wrong UID ("root" - instead of what it should rather be).
This has now been fixed. Along with other drastic improvements:
* Version number was increased to CMU 2.80-0BX04 for better
compatability with BlueQuartz.
* Fixed a bug that caused that all public web files were owned by "root"
after cmuImport.
* Removed password dialogue from cmuImport for all platforms but RaQ550
and TLAS.
* Added checks to cmuImport and cmuExport to make double sure only a root
user can run them.
* File size of exported tarballs is now reported correctly by cmuExport
(if they are larger than 1MB).
* Fixed import issue for sites with SSL certificates (misleading error
message was generated).
* Imported several improvements from BlueQuartz CMU 2.66-0BQ18 which
we had not yet in our code.
* Fixed issue that might prevent imports of suspended users.
* Fixed issue where restored mailing list lost their reply behaviour
settings.
* Added new error message for Vsite imports on Aventurin{e} with
unavailable IP addresses.
* Fixed issue where the first extracted file from a user's public tarball
couldn't be chowned correctly.
Please note: If you use CMU to backup your server, then please be sure to yum
update as soon as possible.
base-vsite:
=========
Improved interactions with CMU when PHP security settings of Vsites were
imported with CMU. The sites now get restored with ...
the correct PHP security settings if the export was generated on BlueOnyx
... or ...
the default PHP security settings if the export was generated somewhere else.
Additionally Vsite's PHP settings for "open_basedir" restrictions no longer
inherit the path from the old site root, but use the correct (new) site root
instead.
