EnGarde Secure Community News and Updates - Release 3.0.15
Guardian Digital is happy to announce the release of EnGarde Secure Community 3.0.15 (Version 3.0, Release 15). This release includes many updated packages and bug fixes, some feature enhancements to Guardian Digital WebTool and the SELinux policy, and a few new features.
In distribution since 2001, EnGarde Secure Community was one of the very first security platforms developed entirely from open source, and has been engineered from the ground-up to provide users and organizations with complete, secure Web functionality, DNS, database, e-mail security and even e-commerce.
What's New?
- Due to popular demand (on engarde-users, the EnGarde Forum, and in #0000140), we've made mod_proxy for Apache available via the 'libapache-mod_proxy' package. To use this functionality just install this package from the GDSN Package Management interface and configure it in your httpd.conf.
- We addressed a bug in the Snort graph generation subsystem which would cause high CPU load. More information on this problem, and the fix, may be found in the EnGarde Secure Linux Forum.
Users of EnGarde Secure Linux do not have to do anything to fix this bug -- just run the Guardian Digital Secure Network Update Agent and your system will be patched automatically.
- Three new instructional documents were written by Ryan W. Maple and added to the EnGarde Secure Linux Wiki:
- Guardian Digital WebTool Translation Instructions
- Using PHP Version 5 on EnGarde Secure Linux
- Building Packages on EnGarde Secure Linux
Additions and improvements to these documents are welcomed and encouraged!
- Several new packages such as dovecot (1.0.1), mysql++ (2.2.3), pptpd (1.3.0), rkhunter (1.2.9), sox (12.17.7).
