A standalone perl-Apache-AuthTkt rpm is available on repoforge. See [[bugzilla:7236|Bug #7236: e-smith-manager should require perl(Apache::AuthTkt)]]

* If we try to access the server-manager again, it's working (as we already have our cookie). It's just the redirection after the login which is broken. The problem seems to be that the URL is not encoded in the same way in the back variable. It seems that the back parameter is double encoded. We can update the regexp which detects if the parameter needs to be url unencoded in /etc/e-smith/web/common/login, line 116:

There is a perl-Quotas rpm installed but it's compiled for el5, so the path are not correct. We need a rebuilt rpm for perl-Quota. See [[bugzilla:7253|Bug #7253: Rebuild perl-Quota for EL6]]

The clamav rpms (clamav, clamav-db, clamd) with these issues are the one from EPEL. I'm not sure they are the right one (I think on EL5 we get them from rpmforge), so maybe those issues are just not present if we get the package from the correct repo.
