Who tested it?
The Badlock issue has been corrected?
I’m checked the changelog, but no mention for the CVE-2016-2118…
https://wiki.centos.org/Manuals/ReleaseNotes/CentOS6.8
The patch has been released from the samba.org, but i dont know for the centOS…
https://www.samba.org/samba/history/security.html
i will test from my test env… after this i will post again.
Sorry for the weak english =P
Quoting from the announcement:
There are many fundamental changes in this release, compared with the
past CentOS Linux 6 releases
AFAIK, yes. I did one test on my server in production.
I’d like you to confirm my findings.
I just update the test environment I have the 6.7 and everything is apparently ok with samba.
I will update my production system, anything, I help you. LoL

Tomorrow we’ll attempt NethServer 6.8 beta1 ISO build.
This is our checklist:
- comps
- packages.nethserver.org 6.8
- ISO
- torrent
- mirrors
- announce
Everyone can install upstream updates from centos 6.8 on NethServer 6.7. We suggest testing them before attempting the upgrade of a production environment. I bet there will not be any issue though!

The ISO is ready! You can download it from .torrent (490MB) before the official announce (/cc @alefattorini @quality_team ).

stuck at 99.8%…
The seed machine seems ok 
Do you have any hint? What could I check?
Do you want to try stopping+starting again the download?
You can also check the sourceforge link: https://sourceforge.net/projects/nethserver/files/nethserver-6.8-beta1-x86_64.iso/download

A lot of updates/upgrades (changelog stats. 153 pkgs, 98 source pkgs, 98 changelogs) in Software center (NS 6.7 final), only 2 for NethServer.
Between all these, there is also the upgrade to CentOS 6.8 from RedHat.
Because still we cannot select which update/upgrades to be made, it’s ok to make all of them? There are known issues for NS 6.7 (final) to work on CentOS 6.8?
I saw one issue ( Hylafax configuration bug ).
My NS 6.7 (final) is in production as email server and I don’t want to upgrade to NS 6.8 beta1 yet, but I want to keep it up-to-date.
TIA,
Gabriel

We updated yesterday (all packages) and after two days of full use we had no major problems. (Just a small issue with Hylafax configs).
Samba seems to be fixed as we had no login issues.

Hello Massimo,
Thank you!
Me too!
After over 20 years with Windows it’s hard not to do this!
BR,
Gabriel
EDIT:
No issues till now.
After upgrade I have installed Fail2Ban by @stephdl and works fine.

While I rarely do it, I’d like to reboot after a full system upgrade.
The most important reason is to check that the system boots regularly, avoiding the risk of discovering issues in an emergency after a crash.
Honestly, I don’t recall experiencing such a problem in many years, that’s why I usually avoid the post upgrade reboot.
Moreover, I usually examine the kernel changelog and reboot if the new kernel fixes something really important.
Having a predefined window for maintenance helps a bit.
What about updates like the latest glibc ( I think that was it) that demand a reboot? I’ve never been clear on why a process restart isn’t sufficient.
Updating glibc requires restarting pretty everything, so a reboot is simpler.
