It's generally safe. But to be honest there's been issues in the past. The Ubuntu guys decided to upload a new version of dansguardian ( from 2.8 to 2.9) as a security update. This new dansguardian version changed its configuration syntax a little bit. The ebox package didn't know this new syntax and kept configuring it with the old one. The outcome was that dansgurdian stopped working until you pulled our ebox-squid update. We have only come across with this scenario once.I was personally surprised of such a version bump in a stable release. We could take measures to avoid this in the future but most of them would imply delay in making security updates available if we have to test them first... -- Javier Uruen Val [email protected] eBox - Managing Computer Networks Was Never This Easy eBox Technologies at www.ebox-technologies.com Download eBox at www.ebox-platform.com _______________________________________________ ebox-user mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ebox-platform.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/ebox-user
