I think a big part of PHP's problem was [... documentation] I don't think it was just documentation. Perl, for example, comes with a standard way to access databases, DBI, which has good practices like binding variables in queries, escaping of input and output and so on, baked in. PHP comes with builtin functions for accessing MySQL databases, which do nothing at all to help the programmer make sensible decisions and follow best practice. There are database abstraction modules for PHP as far as I know, but if someone decides not to use them, is it still as hard as it was to do things safely using the builtin mysql_* functions?

Let me add that it would be good to default do an action after a certain time (e. g. 60 seconds). This default should be the preparation for remote installation as this is the obvious choice when no interaction is done - because it maybe is not possible (like for headless servers). So you put in the installation media (CD or USB stick), wait a minute, and then remotely access the installer. > Accessibility should be foremost at this level and above. I would also like to see it that way; sadly, "market share" oriented development doesn't share this thought. You can make money on all the healthy users, there's plenty of them. Users with disabilites are uninteresting, from a "marketing" point of view. Users in niche markets are uninteresting, too. > The legalities > themselves are becoming hairy these days, and considering the point that > we are trying to push accessibility in terms of applications (such as > issues with flash, to name one) using physical accessibility as a > parallel argument we should be setting an example as well. Accessibility on the web is just one point. Operating systems, the backbones of all the dancing bunnies, should be a good example of how to make information accessible to the widest amount of people. This includes the idea of NOT cutting out those who do not have the ability to access a graphical installer: Not because they don't want to use it, but because they don't have the means to access it. > That said, there is no reason why can't make it look as pretty as we can > without compromising this principle :) GUI installer, remote access and not rising barriers does not contradict.

Then select your real system's ethernet adapter, expand the little drop down below that and it will allow you to choose which vNIC you want. I choose the Intel 82545EM device which gives me an em0 vNIC. in my FreeBSD VM I have the following three lines pertaining to setting up my network sshd_enable="YES" ifconfig_em0="inet 192.168.0.20 netmask 255.255.255.0" defaultrouter="192.168.0.1" hostname="freebsd-bsd.xaerolimit.net" and of course, that hostname does resolve on my lan, but that's not what this e-mail is about.

I just change the network settings of my virtual machine, change it to bridged mode. I also select the eth0, which is the physical interface of my system. Then in my virtual machine, I add one line: ifconfig_em0="DHCP" in /etc/rc.conf file. I have changed each of the five virtual interfaces Intel and ..., but I could not get network access.

dhclient doesn't work over wireless
Hello, My FreeBSD laptop is unable to get IP address over DHCP but the same network works fine on Windows, Ubuntu and Android so I believe the problem lies in my FreeBSD configuration and not on the router/access point. Problem occurs only for wireless interface. FreeBSD 8.1 amd64 with Atheros interface.

That kind of slew rate is well past what ntpd can deal with; it suggests possibly that you're losing timer interrupts, or maybe that the "time of day" clock on the motherboard is broken or dead. Output of "vmstat -i" might be informative for the former, for the latter check whether the BIOS can keep the clock sane while in the BIOS menu-- there should be a small Li battery on the motherboard which might be replaceable. You might also double-check that you've got the latest BIOS version update, but that's less likely to help. For a workaround, you can fire off "ntpdate -b" from cron every 5 minutes or similar to keep the clock from drifting too far.

Well, I've been implementing online stores and content-management/publishing systems written in Java and Objective-C for quite a while, so I'm biased towards those. If I were starting over from scratch today, Ruby or Python would probably enter into the picture for consideration. (Of course, Python threading runs into the GIL issue limiting true concurrency, and the only Ruby implementation around which does better is JRuby, which is Ruby implemented on top of Java.)

Coincidentally you could observe a dramatic difference in the Virtual and Resident size of each Apache process when in peak load: Linux 2.6.18 : 710/130 FreeBSD 6.2: 185/132 (it also proved in both cases that threaded mod_perl (an esoteric mix in the eyes of many an expert) saved tons of RAM and was generally very stable ;-)) Anyway what really caught our attention in these tests is that when the extreme load was removed, FBSD recovered almost immediately like nothing had happened and we had to reboot Linux almost every time, cause it remained very unstable afterwards. We did manage to play with Linux's vm settings especially the over-committal stuff to somewhat behave like FBSD, but vanilla FBSD was always more stable in every test. This told us that the FBSD folks must be doing something right in the standard thread / vm management in FBSD and we switched to it since for our heavy-weight Web deployments. > > I'd like to know if things how things are now on FreeBSD. > Hopefully this thread will catch the eye of some FBSD threading experts ! > Mark Terribile > > --- On Wed, 12/8/10, Alejandro Imass wrote: > >> From: Alejandro Imass >> Subject: Re: Page faults and threads >> To: "Mark Terribile" ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

A short summary to best of my knowledge is that the threading models in FBSD have changed broadly and continuously since FBSD 5 so it really depends... In general I would think that if the model/lib you are using is 1:1 (default from FBSD 7, I think) then a page fault should halt a single thread and no other threads should be affected if no mem is shared between them, although since threads may(usually?) share memory in most popular models (1:1, N:1, N:M) the fault should block all threads that share that memory space. In any case the issue of page faults and blocking is more related to the VM than to the scheduler, again to the best of my knowledge, and there should be a bunch of sysctls to fine-tune / tweak the behavior. The topic is quite interesting to me, sadly don't know enough about the matter (though I use mod_perl/mod_worker a lot on FBSD so I know just enough to get by) and it would be great if some experts jump in and shed some light on the current threading implementations on the 7, 8 and 9 releases.

Good. Try the latest RELEASE version. Then, don't give up if you have a problem. Study and find out what problem is happening and then attack it.

Vulnerabilities due to bad coding is not the fault of the language used, otherwise we wouldn't be using c, c++, etc. I ask because I'm coding web apps in php myself, and I'm curious to know if my view is in error... I would disagree and argue that vulnerabilities due to bad coding often reflect flaws in the language being used. For example, a vast range of buffer overflows, null pointer dereference issues, etc are entirely a consequence of C-based languages which permit arbitrary pointer arithmetic. Tools like valgrind and Purify were later created to help add runtime array and memory buffer bounds-checking to C/C++ which other languages (Java, Python, etc) already provide by raising an "index out of range" exception or similar. As for PHP and security, well, when someone ends up getting married to three abusive drunks in a row, there is more going on with that then random chance or even bad luck.

Not true on a very old computer (especially USB) On choice of text editor, I prefer vi, but that might be uncomfortable for users completely unfamiliar with vi: this includes many MS-Windows users as well as users coming from DOS. NetBSD uses ed on installation ramdisk, which leaves me completely floored. vi is heaven compared to ed. IBM had a Tiny Editor, not open-source, dating to 1993, .EXE about 1 bytes: this was for DOS and 16-bit OS/2 (OS/2 1.x was 16-bit, became 32-bit with v2.0). This was used on OS/2 installation floppies.

I recall FreeBSD installer had no screen editor until Jordan looked for one that would fit the install without executable breaking floppy size constraints.

That's not an argument, that's a dogma. :-) Especially when you want to use AT style hardware, maybe older laptops that should work as a kind of console device (serial console using the cu program), or older PCs that should run as a router, firewall, printer server or anything else that doesn't require a PlentyCore CPU and tenmelonhundred GB of RAM, taking into mind their very low power consumption, then you usually face the situation that you do NOT have - bootable network - USB - DVD (or at least CD-ROM) In such situations, you are happy to be able to boot from floppy (or floppies, that's okay too) and then perform an installation via network (or plip). Traditionally hardware of the AT and the early ATX times do not come with USB. And if they have USB, they can't boot from it. This sounds old-fashioned, I know. The strength of FreeBSD is that you actually COULD install it under this kind of circumstances - a strength other operating systems lack, especially when they call theirselves "advanced". One could argument that it should be possible to extract the hard disk from such a kind of computer and use it in a different system that can boot NOT from floppy. But that may cause other problems (e. g. no (P)ATA connector in a SATA system, can't reach hard disk, can't open laptop, and so on). -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
