Hello,

After having updated the software version, to 2.1, the date of updates is properly informed on Cauldron.

For information, Is that version 2.1 will be present on Mageia5, or it will be available only on Mageia6?

Regards;

Vigen.

PS: Thanks for your works ;)

Pushed version 1.14 for Mageia 5 with the change in comment 6.

Yves will likely write the advisory tomorrow, but it should be ready to test already.

RPM in core/updates_testing:
============================

msec-1.14-1.1.mga5.noarch

SRPMs in core/updates_testing:
==============================

 - msec-1.14-1.1.mga5

Another issue needs to be fixed in msec.  If you toggle the ALLOW_REBOOT setting, when it recreates the poweroff/halt/reboot/shutdown links, it links them to consolehelper instead of systemctl.

Version: Cauldron => 5
Whiteboard: MGA5TOO => (none)

@David.
Ok, the correction is just backported in 1.15 release.
See mga#16084

New package that also fixes mga#16084:

RPM in core/updates_testing:
============================

msec-1.15-1.mga5.noarch

SRPMs in core/updates_testing:
==============================

 - msec-1.15-1.mga5

Advisory
============
- Use systemctl instead of consolehelper (mga#16084)
Commands halt/reboot/poweroff/shutdown are links to bin/systemctl. The option ALLOW_REBOOT can suppress or restore them. msec was restoring links to consolehelper instead of systemctl.
- Display the last update date in Updates zone (mga#18159)
It was "Unable to determine the update status". Now, the date is displayed.

x86_64  Mate

Confirmed some of the points above, or not, before updating.
$ ls -l /bin/halt
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 Oct  4  2015 /bin/halt -> ../bin/systemctl*
$ ls -l /bin/shutdown
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 Jun 21  2015 /bin/shutdown -> consolehelper*
$ ls -l /bin/reboot
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 Oct  4  2015 /bin/reboot -> ../bin/systemctl*
$ ls -l /bin/poweroff
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 Oct  4  2015 /bin/poweroff -> ../bin/systemctl*

Those links were unchanged after a reboot.
/etc/security/level.{audit_daily,audit_weekly} have
ALLOW_REBOOT=

$ ls /etc/security/msec/
level.audit_daily   level.secure       perm.fileserver  perm.standard
level.audit_weekly  level.standard     perm.netbook     perm.webserver
level.fileserver    level.webserver    perm.none        security.conf
level.netbook       perm.audit_daily   perms.conf       server.local
level.none          perm.audit_weekly  perm.secure      server.remote

level.secure has ALLOW_REBOOT=no
level.standard has ALLOW_REBOOT=yes

$ sudo cat security.conf
BASE_LEVEL=standard

msecgui indicates that it is "Unable to determine update status" and after pressing 'Update now' (which found nothing to update) the message was unchanged.

Updated msec and msec-gui (which should be listed in the advisory).

msecgui now reports "Last updated: Mon 18 Apr 2016 16:53:22 BST" which is about right.

The /bin links have not changed.  /bin/shutdown points to consolehelper and the other three to systemctl.  I ran 'shutdown now' and again nothing changed after the cold boot.

Toggled ALLOW_REBOOT from yes to no in msecgui.  Closed the gui and after discovering that not even root could reboot from a console went back in to msecgui and switched back to 'yes'.  All the {halt,shutdown,reboot,poweroff} off links now point to systemctl.

Before update

$ ls -l /bin/{halt,reboot,shutdown,poweroff}
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 Oct  4  2015 /bin/halt -> ../bin/systemctl
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 Oct  4  2015 /bin/poweroff -> ../bin/systemctl
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 Oct  4  2015 /bin/reboot -> ../bin/systemctl
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 Feb 24 12:25 /bin/shutdown -> consolehelper
 
In msecgui system security toggled ALLOW_REBOOT to 'no'/'yes' and saved the configuration.  No change in the links.  
msecgui does not report updates status.

After update:
msecgui posted the date for the last updtae, which was yesterday.
In system security switched ALLOW_BOOT to 'no', saved the settings then changed back to 'yes' and saved the configuration again.
$ ls -l /bin/{halt,reboot,shutdown,poweroff}
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 Apr 18 18:12 /bin/halt -> ../bin/systemctl
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 Apr 18 18:12 /bin/poweroff -> ../bin/systemctl
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 Apr 18 18:12 /bin/reboot -> ../bin/systemctl
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 Apr 18 18:12 /bin/shutdown -> ../bin/systemctl

Ready to validate this.

Advisory uploaded. Added reference to bug 16084.
