default skins, so I can't help you with your specific problem. But before you dump CGP altogether, maybe check <br>&gt;&gt;out the LookOut skin from
Niversoft (http://www.niversoft.com/products/cgskins/lookout). It's well-supported.<br>&gt;&gt; <br>&gt;&gt; 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>&gt;&gt;--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>&gt;&gt;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>&gt;&gt;the logfile as root today.<br>&gt;&gt; <br>&gt;&gt; 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>&gt;&gt;script: periodically check
if any helpers were running as root and, if so, kill them so CGP would restart them as user cgatepro <br>&gt;&gt;and force the right permissions on
helper files with SUIDDIR in the kernel and the sticky bit on helper dirs.<br>&gt;&gt; <br>&gt;&gt; Also, CGP is still shipping with a bunch of
trusted (by CGP) root CA certificates that are expired or were revoked because of <br>&gt;&gt;compromise (and even one known rogue CA). This issue I
reported July 2015 (also on this list, see: "Expired, 1024bit, MD5 &amp; a <br>&gt;&gt;rogue/fake "Built-in trusted Certificate(s)" (root/CA certs) in
CGP"). They removed a few from the distribution, but left most <br>&gt;&gt;in place. My GlobalSign S/MIME certificate is still not trusted by CGP
unless I manually add the CA.<br>&gt;&gt; <br>&gt;&gt; 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>&gt;&gt;instance, by using a 3rd party skin, using opensmtpd and/or stunnel as a gateway between CGP and the internet
to get more <br>&gt;&gt;control over SSL/TLS sessions than the 6 or so options/toggles CGP offers, manually trash and rebuild the trusted CA list,
<br>&gt;&gt;etcetera.<br>&gt;&gt; <br>&gt;&gt; Those are the only two issues I reported, but I've encountered many more. Unfortunately most seem
FreeBSD-specific and from how <br>&gt;&gt;the rc.d script is written for FreeBSD (an abomination) combined with how long it took to switch the package
format to pkgng, <br>&gt;&gt;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>&gt;&gt;time.<br>&gt;&gt; <br>&gt;&gt; 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>&gt;&gt;don't expect too much from support or the list.<br>&gt;&gt; <br>&gt;&gt; Good luck!<br>&gt;&gt;
