Tonight (13/10/20-14/10/20) the following updated packages are being released:

  • app-samba - add wsdd to the app. This will allow you to browse the server shares from the Network entry in Windows Explorer, a facility lost when M$ disabled SMB1 in Windows 10.

* by the package name = the package is also being released to Business at the same time.

Packages available for testing

  • app-network - Peter now has a build to test. It can be downloaded from Gitlab and installed manually. It should fix the upstream VLAN issue and a few other things. I would really appreciate some testing, even it is to say "no regressions found".

    • Now allows you to set up Wireless and Cellular interfaces. You will also need app-wireless or better, app-wireless-ap to configure a NIC as an access point. Otherwise manual configuration is then needed for WiFi and Cellular devices.
    • Kernel mode PPPoE (much faster and lower resources) becomes an option when configuring PPPoE.
    • Hides irrelevant interfaces from app-network-report such as docker0, veth* and ifb*.
    • Numerous other changes since last 2.6.0


  • app-wireless-ap - Community contribution to enable you to configure Wireless NIC's on your LAN. Includes 802.11ac support. You will also want the beta version of app-network to be able to see your WiFi NIC's in the IP Settings screen. There are bugs here!
  • app-dnsthingy - This is the same update as app-gateway-management but also includes a rebranding from DNSThingy to AdamOne. Update with:
    yum update app-dnsthingy adamone --enablerepo=clearos-*-testing

  • app-gateway-management - update with:
    yum update app-gateway-management* adamone --enablerepo=clearos-*-testing

  • adamone - this is the underlying package for the above beta versions of app-gateway-management/app-dnsthingy. If you have either of the above beta's installed, you can update with:
    yum update adamone --enablerepo=clearos-contribs-testing
    Please restart GM afterwards.

Unless detailed otherwise, packages available for testing can be installed with:
yum update --enablerepo=clearos-updates-testing {package-name}

Packages being worked on:

  • Unfortunately, mostly testing for the phone release.
  • basics for app-sia v2. This will slow down app release.
  • app-attack-detector to add a button beside each banned IP to you can unban it. This was being worked on by an external contributor. I'll see if I can pick it up.

    The startup string is in /etc/sysconfig/wsdd. From reading the docs, I have used the -d switch with the "realm" from /etc/samba/smb.conf if the server is using the Active Directory Connector and otherwise I've used the -w switch with the "workgroup". I think the program then uses the "netbios name" name as the one it publishes, but it does not appear to be configurable. To be honest, I have not even noticed a visible change when setting or not setting the -w switch.

    You can play around with the string in /etc/sysconfig/wsdd and see if you can come up with anything different. After making any change, restart wsdd. The whole string gets overwritten if you make a change to smb.conf by a background event.

    Nick,

    Great fix !

    In the old days you would see in the browser the server name as defined in the app (Server Name).
    Now i'm seeing in the brwoser the domainname as server name.
    Is this correct ? (not a big issue....)
