Hi,
as said I asked Christian Rodriguez, the SUSE PHP5 maintainer, about the issue with group-e.
<technical> The issue is that group-e uses pipes which need support of pseudoterminals in php5. We do not have that and I guess in upstream it is also disabled, because there are problems with that.
The group-e code that causes the problem can be seen here: http://paste.opensuse.org/82557957 </technical> My Information about this is that the problems with pseudoterminals in PHP5 are solved by the PHP-Project. They disabled pseudoterminals for al while because of security problems related to this, but reenabled this function in 2006. (i am not shure about this. This is what Stefan Haberl one of the Group-e Maintainers told me). Christian suggests to try to solve the problem in group-e's code. I investigated a bit, but did not find a solution yet, maybe Christian can help here, I am waiting on his answer. I try to talk to Stefan Haberl about this. Is somebody in touch with group-e upstream? It does not seem they're seeking out for much devleoper community :( Maybe they have a solution already?
OTOH they mention in their FAQ another solution for this problem which is to use "Samba mount" instead of smbclient, see
http://wiki.group-e.info/index.php/FAQ and http://wiki.group- e.info/index.php/Administratorenhilfe:Konfiguration_Samba_Dateimanager
It would be the easiest solution to go for that by default. Is that acceptable? No, because since openSUSE 11.2 (i think) using smbmount instead of smbclient is impossible because it needs the SUID-Bit on mount.cifs (formerly known as: smbmount). Using the SUID-bit is suppressed by mount.cifs itself. regards,
Klaas
