OS versions: RHEL ES 3/4, CentOS 4.2, FedoraCore 1/2
Background: Ensim Pro comes packaged as RPMs that contain a) control panel frontend (this is the GUI), b) control panel backend engine (backend that communicates with applications) and c) applications in the form of RPMs (web, ftp, mail, etc.).
Ensim RPMs you should leave alone: Some of these application RPMs have an Ensim tag in the build number ("ensimized RPMs"). This denotes that Ensim has made modifications to the RPM for various reasons such as fixing bugs, adding additional security, or improving performance for hosting domains. The detailed list of these RPMs is shown below.
