I agree to your postings and I am also disappointed that they have disabled the snort thing. Disabling a feature due to 3rd party licensing is for sure but they should keep in mind that the most bugs were discovered by "Home User" because the have the ability to fumble around with the ASL. In a productive environment the danger of doing very bad things let the most admins keep their settings for ever and ever - okay adjusting spam rules or up2date things....
Pleaseeeeeee enable the Snort Feature for Home Users. They wouldn't disappoint you.
That's the same reason why i want to test the beta! So i did, give input for what it's worth, and now? NOTHING! Even spam control seems to be removed. Is this another bug or is this the way it's gonna be?
I just installed up2date package v5.001 and nothing on the licensing page has changed. We will probably see 2 or 3 up2date packages a day for the next couple of weeks while they still iron out issues with v5.0. I was told earlier this evening that this isn't actually the gold release of v5.0 (contrary to the Press Release), v5.0 is officially Release Candidate 1 (RC1). I'm still keeping my fingers crossed that Astaro will re-enable SNORT for home users when the RC is completed.
the Up2Date package 5.001 was a "for-internal-test only" package... Sorry, we forgot to delete it while the upload of the V5 ISO image.
I would recommend to reinstall a clean V5 image, because the Up2Date 5.001 contains only test application and will prevent you from install the correct (upcoming) 5.001.
I am heart broken. IPS/IDS isn't enabled for even Power Users. What license are they talking about? And how much would one cost for a Home User licensee. I may have to stick with my snort bridge.
