    http://www.mailscanner.info/ChangeLog


26 Jun 08: New csf v3.38

Category: General
Posted by: Chirpy
Changes:


  • Additional SSHD regex added to regex.pm

  • Improved the WHM UI reporting of the csf status: disabled, running, testing mode

  • Added Enable/Start buttons to WHM UI next to the csf status if disabled/stopped

  • Updated Server Report checks for csf status

  • Changed the destination of the ConfigServer Services link at the bottom of the WHM UI to go to the csf web page


25 Jun 08: New csf v3.37

Category: General
Posted by: Chirpy
Changes:


  • Fixed an issue currently in cPanel EDGE that affects the use of the cPanel SafeFile module in WHM scripts


19 Jun 08: New csf v3.36

Category: General
Posted by: Chirpy
Changes:


  • Increased the IP lookup timeout for reported IP's from 5 to 10 seconds

  • Improved lfd internal timing system for event triggers

  • Added new feature - Account Tracking. The new AT_* options configure an alert system for account modifications which will send an email if there are new accounts added, existing accounts deleted plus password uid gid login dir and login shell changes. Each of these changes can be enabled or disabled. You can also enable tracking for superuser accounts only. That latter is the default setting. This feature uses the email template accounttracking.txt

  • Added reason text to temporary IP bans

  • Added Server Report check for ini_set in PHP disable_functions

  • Added ossec to list of processes to disable as it will conflict and duplicate csf functionality

  • Changed Server Check scoring text to instead show a coloured table indicating score

  • Modified cPanel Msfe.pm to use the new Cpanel::SafeFile module otherwise it fails within cPanel with:
    [a fatal error or timeout occurred while processing this directive]

It appears that many VPS servers overnight have installed the OS vendor version of perl, e.g. v5.8.5. This has meant that most of the perl modules that cPanel itself along with csf, MailScanner and other perl scripts use are missing. This in turn means that many perl based scripts (e.g. MailScanner, csf, cPanel itself) will have stopped functioning.

To resolve this issue, either run:

/scripts/checkperlmodules

Or, better, upgrade back to perl v5.8.8 using the distribution on the cPanel site:
http://layer1.cpanel.net/

You might also get away with simply going to /usr/bin/ and copying the perl v5.8.8 binary over the live perl binary.

Whichever method you use, with MailScanner at least, you'll have to update MailScanner either from our install script, or by selecting the Force MailScanner Update button for MailScanner in the WHM UI.

It would then probably be a good idea to run:

/scripts/upcp -force

How this happened is odd as /etc/yum.conf on cPanel includes perl* in the ignore list.
