If anyone else is upgrading from that far in the past here are the other glitches that I ran into.
** When selecting the High security level (the one suggested for servers) I now have to list the allowed connections in /etc/hosts.allow. I know that is part of 9.0 as well, but it is a change from 8.1.
** httpd-perl would die a horrible death when trying to start. Looking through the error messages I had to connect to CPAN and install several perl modules again. Not too big a deal to remedy.
** postfix had a lot of problems. I first had to comment out some debugging code that was appended to main.cf (something that I posted about earlier) that was causing all of the postfix related programs to die. I also had to remove a poorly formatted change it made to local_recipient_maps (inserting unix:passwd.byname at the end of the line *without* a comma to separate it from the existing entries).
** It appears to be rewriting the permissions on /home directories to 700 every 15 minutes or so. That is good for security, but bad if you have apps (like pre-2.1 Mailman) that want to run in a /home directory with more permissive read settings.
Otherwise things look pretty good. My PHP/mySQL apps all seems to operating normally, so after a day of hunting down the small problems above it looks like things are back to normal. Though I would really appreciate any pointers that would help me get my start menu fixed.
Cheers,
