<div id="_htmlarea_default_style_" style="font:10pt arial,helvetica,sans-serif">That is interesting. I can remember when we first switched to a cluster system, we discovered a few bugs with the web pages being delivered from personal file storage spaces.

But before you dump CGP altogether, maybe check <br>>>out the LookOut skin from Niversoft (http://www.niversoft.com/products/cgskins/lookout). It's well-supported.<br>>> <br>>> But you're not wrong, getting a bug fixed I CGP can take a long time, if it happens at all. Years ago I reported that CGP with <br>>>--dropRoot would start its helpers as root (and then wasn't able to kill them later) as well as create the first logfile with <br>>>owner root (if it didn't exist). After a year or two the first half of the bug got (silently) fixed, but CGP is still writing <br>>>the logfile as root today.<br>>> <br>>> Eventually I just cronned a script that fixes the owner on the log file, and the helper problem I also had worked around with a <br>>>script: periodically check if any helpers were running as root and, if so, kill them so CGP would restart them as user cgatepro <br>>>and force the right permissions on helper files with SUIDDIR in the kernel and the sticky bit on helper dirs.<br>>> <br>>> Also, CGP is still shipping with a bunch of trusted (by CGP) root CA certificates that are expired or were revoked because of <br>>>compromise (and even one known rogue CA). This issue I reported July 2015 (also on this list, see: "Expired, 1024bit, MD5 & a <br>>>rogue/fake "Built-in trusted Certificate(s)" (root/CA certs) in CGP"). They removed a few from the distribution, but left most <br>>>in place. My GlobalSign S/MIME certificate is still not trusted by CGP unless I manually add the CA.<br>>> <br>>> CGP is great when it all works, if it doesn't work you'll need to be comfortable working around the problem(s) yourself. For <br>>>instance, by using a 3rd party skin, using opensmtpd and/or stunnel as a gateway between CGP and the internet to get more <br>>>control over SSL/TLS sessions than the 6 or so options/toggles CGP offers, manually trash and rebuild the trusted CA list, <br>>>etcetera.<br>>> <br>>> Those are the only two issues I reported, but I've encountered many more. Unfortunately most seem FreeBSD-specific and from how <br>>>the rc.d script is written for FreeBSD (an abomination) combined with how long it took to switch the package format to pkgng, <br>>>it's pretty clear to me their developers don't understand FreeBSD very well (nor test on it regularly). So it seems a waste of <br>>>time.<br>>> <br>>> But to be honest, I have a few people that need Outlook, and like the prospect of running MS Exchange even less ;) In any case, <br>>>don't expect too much from support or the list.<br>>> <br>>> Good luck!<br>>> <br>>> -- <br>>> Regards,<br>>> Terrence Koeman, PhD/MTh/BPsy<br>>> Darkness Reigns (Holding) B.V.<br>>> <br>>> Please quote relevant replies.<br>>> <br>>> <br>>>> -----Original Message-----<br>>>> From: CommuniGate Pro Discussions [mailto:[email protected]] On<br>>>> Behalf Of [email protected]<br>>>> Sent: Tuesday, January 10, 2017 10:35 PM<br>>>> To: CommuniGate Pro Discussions <[email protected]><br>>>> Subject: Re: hPronto issue<br>>>> <br>>>> I am finally giving up and downgrading back to 6.1-8.<br>>>> <br>>>> <br>>>> <br>>>> No discussion list response and no response to support ticket.
