At the first place, sorry for my bad English.
My question is:
How can you, when you're writing a perl program, make a input

following program is hidden:
#!/usr/bin/perl
print Your name:;
$name = STDIN
I would like to get the input like this:
The PERL Cookbook seems to have the answer.
Problem
You want to read input from the keyboard without the keystrokes being
echoed on the screen. For instance, you want to read passwords as passwd
does, i.e. without displaying the user's password.
Solution
Use the CPAN module Term::ReadKey, set the input mode to noecho, and then
use ReadLine:
use Term::ReadKey;
ReadMode('noecho');
$password = ReadLine(0);

5.x separate /boot slice?
Hello, I would like to try a separate /boot slice as permitted by FreeBSD 5.x... (http://www.khmere.com/freebsd_book/html/ch08.html) But alas it does not appear to be as simple as simply specifying a /boot during setup. This causes the bootloader to complain about not finding a kernel given that /boot on the root partition is empty. Presumably this is too early in the boot process to link root/boot to the /boot slice given that the fstab has not been read yet. Any pointers on how to get this to work? Perhaps the boot loader needs to be pointed at the /boot slice rather than root and a rootdev variable fed into a specific loader stage? I'm not sure!

Searching around, it seems like this is relatively normal. So here is my question. How do big-time servers handle these type of memory requirements? Presumably there are servers out there getting thousands of visitors at once. Do they have 29 Meg * 1000 for every thousand visitors? At what memory ceiling do they setup another server machine to handle the load? Wouldn't it require a ton of servers to handle a load of a thousand visitors? It all depends on what the PHP is doing. On one server I run, the hold up is not memory, but actually processing 200 PHP scripts with db accesses at once, even with code acceleration products installed. I have a dual athlon 2800+ system with 4GB of memory. It can handle 200-240 httpd processes (apache2) with PHP5 running the postnuke system and phpbb2 (postnuke version). The memory is only half used but the system load starts to go sky high when we start to get much over 200 httpd, depending on what mix of modules people are using, when enough processes need to run at once. The CPU is not pegged, but the run queue gets too long. I am continuing to try and tune things and improve things, but so far this is about where we are at. Before I put a code accelerator in (we have tested the commercial Zend one [and still are testing] but run with eaccelerator most of the time) we hit the wall much sooner. (Note that the mysql DB is on another machine on the LAN). Chad I am nowhere in this league, but the question comes to mind because it seems crazy that 20 visitors to my site can clog things up, simply because I choose to run apache and php. I have been looking at lighttpd decrease memory usage, but I require url rewriting and I find the documentation for lighttpd is lacking is this area. Any comments or suggestions are welcome - You might want to consider LiteSpeed WebServer. They have a standard (free) version and a pro (paid) version that should perform much better than Apache and PHP. It should even perform better as Lighttpd and has the same rewriting-syntax as Apache. (In fact, it closely resembles Apache in terms of configuration).

Thanks, Martin. I'm going there right now. From what you say that is exactly what I need if I can easily keep the users off the LAN by restricting them to telneting to the SCO box. These are far from being trusted users. The connection will be used by a large companies staff for everything from accounting system updates to reporte generation, and printing.

5.4-release install problem
Greetings, I downloaded the 5.4-release iso images from the freebsd website. I used my windows machine and Nero to burn the iso images to cd's. I have an old machine that I am trying to install 5.4-release on. It is a PII 333, SCSI with 30GB scsi hard drive. I place cd 1 in the drive (disk 1 iso) and reboot the machine. When it boots, it looks to the cdrom drive as the first boot device. When it does, my screen is full of scrolling text which looks like dump info. It scrolls on and on.

5.4 Headless Installation from FreeBSD Disk 1?
I am attempting to install FreeBSD5.4 on a Dell Poweredge 1850 via the serial console. I went through the documentation again and found the following on the FreeBSD 5.4 documentation in installation-i386.txt FreeBSD/i386 5.4-RELEASE Installation Instructions -- snip -- 1.5.6 Tips for Serial Console Users If you'd like to install FreeBSD on a machine using just a serial port (e.g. you don't have or wish to use a VGA card), please follow these steps: 1. Connect some sort of ANSI (vt100) compatible terminal or terminal emulation program to the COM1 port of the PC you are installing FreeBSD onto. 2. Unplug the keyboard (yes, that's correct!) and then try to boot from floppy or the installation CDROM, depending on the type of installation media you have, with the keyboard unplugged. 3. If you don't get any output on your serial console, plug the keyboard in again. If you are booting from the CDROM, proceed to step 5 as soon as you hear the beep. 4. If booting from floppies, when access to the disk stops, insert the first of the kernX.flp disks and press Enter. When access to this disk finishes, insert the next kernX.flp disk and press Enter, and repeat until all kernX.flp disks have been inserted. When disk activity finishes, reinsert the boot.flp floppy disk and press Enter. 5. Once a beep is heard, hit the number 6, then enter boot -h and you should now definitely be seeing everything on the serial port. If that still doesn't work, check your serial cabling as -- snip --- According to that, the CDROM still has the headless option. On this particular server as well as all the other FreeBSD boxes we presently run, removing the keyboard causes the BIOS to indicate a non-functional keyboard but the FreeBSD boot engine doesn't get the message so we always had to have a keyboard in the past in order to type boot -h and that did get the serial console going, often-times at 115,200 baud, but nonetheless going. On 5.4, I made several attempts both with and without the keyboard and never got a beep. I got a monitor and a coworker who can see said monitor to watch the video output and we tried again both with and without a keyboard. Both times, it goes right to a GUI without any opportunity to do anything except watch it boot. I see that the 5.4-RELEASE-i386-bootonly.iso and the 5.4-RELEASE-i386-disc1.iso images are both bootable. I figure I need disk1 to install with. I am sorry for the length of this message but I wanted to demonstrate that we have made every effort to make sure this wasn't just operator error on my part. Any ideas as to how to get this headless installation going with the CDROM are much appreciated. I am replacing one of our DNS's that fried a few weeks ago and we are running on the backup, only until I can get something working again. Many thanks.

Shell script question
I'm working on a shell script to use p0f to identify unauthorized hosts
on our network.
In the script I use an echo command to see what the output of the command
is. This is what it looks like:
/usr/local/bin/p0f -i xl0 -N -l -o /root/capture.1123177152.log 'src net
10.0.0.0/8 or src net 129.110.0.0/16'
If I paste the output of the echo command to the cli and hit enter, p0f
runs and writes to the log. Yet when I actually try to run that same
command from the script, p0f complains:
pcap_compile: illegal token: '
See man tcpdump or p0f README for help on bpf filter expressions.
Here's the script. It's very simple right now, but there's a lot more work
to be done. I first have to figure out this problem, though:
#!/bin/sh
P0F=/usr/local/bin/p0f
EPOCH_DATE=`date -j -f %a %b %d %T %Z %Y \`date\` +%s`
LOG=/root/capture.${EPOCH_DATE}.log
NIC=-i xl0
ARGS=-N -l -o ${LOG}
DAEMON=-d
FILTER='src net 10.0.0.0/8 or src net 129.110.0.0/16'
echo ${P0F} ${NIC} ${ARGS} ${DAEMON} ${FILTER}
${P0F} ${NIC} ${ARGS} ${FILTER}
Why is p0f complaining about the bpf filter? I've tried escaping the
single quotes, but that generates a different error. I don't understand
why the identical command works on the cli, but not in the script.

Apache problems
I know this isn't directly freebsd related, but this list has been good to me before. I am running 5-STABLE. I installed Apache 2.1.4 using make install clean after updating my ports collection.

Re: installing kernel fails, make is ok
You might first try making a generic kernel with no customization and see if that works. If it does, you might be accidentally leaving out support for something vital like disk drives or something else equally vital causing the kernel to not get along far enough to produce error messages. If the generic configuration produces a working kernel, then start pulling things off and re-making it until you kill it. You will then know what actually caused the problem. If it doesn't tell you anything at all, it must be rather early in the boot process because a kernel can usually spit out an error or to to the screen before it dies. If you get a working kernel that is not quite what you wanted, you can at least save the dmesg output and study it to see what devices are in your computer and make sure that your custom configuration includes all of them.

Are _ALL_ of them needed or just the four mentioned in the pf manual?

block in quick on rl0 from 224.0.0.0/3 to any
The manual of pf only writes about:
priv_nets = { 127.0.0.0/8, 192.168.0.0/16, 172.16.0.0/12, 10.0.0.0/8 }
It's my guess I can leave them out _OR_ I include them in $priv_nets.
If I do that the rule becomes very large.
Second question: can I rewrite the pf.conf rule (with a \) like this:
priv_nets = { 127.0.0.0/8, 192.168.0.0/16, 172.16.0.0/12, 10.0.0.0/8 \

adduser re-writting groups file incorrectly
I have a 4.10 machine thats our internal mailserver. we use NIS for the accounts, we add a couple local accounts just in case NIS can't be contacted... We had our software developers make a change to all users PATH, part of which points to a different version of the su command, which we've since discovered doesn't work under fbsd (linux all over here, but i'm trying to change it), that change was made without my knowing. While I was out for lunch one the admins tried to su and couldn't, they assumed they needed a local account, so they used the adduser script to add a user. the next available UID was taken for the account and when the account was created I think it errored on creating the home dir, because it happened to clash with a UID out of NIS. The big kafuffle out of this is that it wrote the group file with the NIS entry written at the top, which caused mail to stop working as it was picking up the wrong UID for mail out of NIS. I was able to recreate this once, but not in 3 more attempts. I guess this isn't a question just a comment I wanted to toss out there... ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Presumably this is too early in the boot process to link root/boot to the /boot slice given that the fstab has not been read yet. Any pointers on how to get this to work? Perhaps the boot loader needs to be pointed at the /boot slice rather than root and a rootdev variable fed into a specific loader stage? I'm not sure! Search the list.

Why is p0f complaining about the bpf filter? I've tried escaping the
single quotes, but that generates a different error. I don't understand
why the identical command works on the cli, but not in the script.
For the record, `eval ${P0F} ${NIC} ${ARGS} ${DAEMON} ${FILTER}` solved the

Update - problem partially solved. I believe that a typo in smb.conf caused the grief, HOWEVER the formatting of text files from lp kind of sucks. Printing is hard against the Left Hand Side of page and loses about 2 characters. I looked and did not seem to have a2ps installed therefore installed and rebooted. Print is still the same - bad ALSO - I have been periodically getting kernel IRQ 7 error messages...!!! This does not sound like a good thing. Suggestions? Should I perhaps de-install CUPS and do again? Note this was originally set up as a simple web server, but I thought since it is running 24/7 and has Samba installed to access files from my WinBox I might as well tie the printer to it so as to enable printing of config files etc (yes I can open Samba wider to access those files from Windows but I do not like the security implications!)

A bit of hunting found some gotchas at: http://home.nyc.rr.com/computertaijutsu/cups.html ... and so I tried adding symbolic links for the lp and lpr commands as per the author's recommendations - see bottom of email. The problem still exists however, now instead of getting error messages, if I issue a lpr filename command, my printer gives a quick blink, no errror messages are generated, but neither is printer output - nada! Repeat - Samba and Cups work together fine on this elderly hp4l - print all sorts from Windows. Just cannot access from the server itself. I am sure that this is a simple configuration issue somewhere - my printcap definition, ie: hp4l|lp|hp4l:rm=192.168.0.102:rp=hp4l: ps. This was auto-generated from CUPs and oirignally was hp4l|hp4l:rm=192.168.0.102:rp=hp4l: (I later inserted the lp myself as CUPS does not, either way it doesn't work.) Can anyone please point me straight on this? Thanks, Graham/ From gotchas With FreeBSD, cups will place its configuration files in /usr/local/etc rather than /etc. The lp or lpr command that you will use is also going to be in /usr/local/bin rather than /usr/bin. As /usr/bin is listed first in the path for both root and normal user, if one tries to print using the command lp filename you'll get an error message. There are various workarounds--one can edit the $PATH variable, type the entire path, eg /usr/local/bin/lp or do it the lazy man's way, which, as those who know me would expect, is what I did. I backed up the /usr/bin lp and lpr and then sym linked /usr/local/bin's commands to them. mv /usr/bin/lp /usr/bin/lp.bak mv /usr/bin/lpr /usr/bin/lpr.bak ln -s /usr/local/bin/lp /usr/bin/lp ln -s /usr/local/bin/lpr /usr/bin/lpr ** -- Kindness can be infectious - try it.

5.x separate /boot slice?
I would like to try a separate /boot slice as permitted by FreeBSD 5.x... Search the list. This comes up about once a month, and I've yet to see anyone succeed. Aside from it's the way Linux does it, do you have any good reason for wanting this? All of my questions seem to generate that response. :) Trust me, they are informed questions. In short: I, like many bad administrators perform updates via ssh rather than at the console in single user mode and like many I hold my breath while seeing if the machine will reboot. I was thinking that previous and updated kernels could both coexist in /boot and a second root slice (plus usr ... as appropriate) could be mounted under /mnt and recive a fresh installation of the updated OS, rather than a overlay that requires mergemastering. Yes, I know you would need to keep track of the kernel picking the right root, yes you would need to keep track of your fstab and of course you would need to worry about settings and additional software. That's all a pain but if it increases the likelihood that a box will reboot after updating, I'm willing to explore it. In some respects this is a question of dual-booting FreeBSD and FreeBSD and I was hoping to share some partitions that are not affected by the update process, likely including var and tmp. Sorry if this was a FAQ. I did search did turn it up. Did I answer you question?

Re: Dell PowerEdge1850 Won't Take a Freebsd4.11 Installation.
A Dell PowerEdge1850 will, in fact take a FreeBSD4.11 installation. This problem has been solved. It turns out that Dell Computers only supports a particular version of Redhat at this time. They put a special partition on the drives shipped with PowerEdge 1850's that is about 50 MB which is some sort of diagnostic tool they use. It has the side effect of absolutely trashing many other Linux distributions and FreeBSD4.11, possibly FreeBSD5.4, also although we didn't try it. For some reason, the fdisk utility on a Windows98 boot disk is Draconian enough to blow away the special partition and then everything works like normal. Thanks to those who had helpful suggestions. It turned out not to be FreeBSD's fault at all.

Trying to use FreeBSD as a home router, how to setup VOIP to pass through?
My home network is currently setup with a lowend router from my phone company. Its not very good and i have my only phone service through it using VOIP. I've managed to get the rest of my network (3 computers) behind the freebsd machine (computer 4). The problem is that i'd like to move the voip router behind the freebsd machine. I'm assuming i need to do some sort of port forwarding to pull this off. I've done some googling but can't seem to find good documentation on what ports to forward or how one would do port fowarding to another host. I'm using FreeBSD 5.4 stable (week or two old), ipfw and natd with a divert rule in place and practically no other configuration. Does anyone have any resources on forwarding voip traffic? My long term goal is to get voip working and then setup an ip 6 tunnel with HE. I am not currently subscribed to questions so please CC me in replies. Here's a rough idea what my network is like cable modem + + voip router + + freebsd machine + + + pcmacmac Everything is setup wtih IP4 at the moment.

I do exactly what you'd like to do, but the partition I duplicate is '/'. I have a '/' partition and a '/xRoot' partition, and I use FreeBSD's snapshot feature (in 5.x and better) to duplicate that partition into /xRoot. This gives me a nice backup of /boot, /root, and /etc. I then upgrade the running system. It seems to work fine for me. This is where we get back to the question, Why *must* your goal be done using a separate partition for '/boot'?. I do not mean that to be a hostile question. I'm just saying that I seem to be doing exactly what you want to do, and I've never needed a separate /boot partition to do it. The one trick involved is that you duplicate '/' to '/xRoot', and then you have to remember to change '/xRoot/etc/fstab' so that it points to itself as the '/' partition...

WinXP and FreeBSD configuration problems
Hello all, OK it is now day three and I have given up. This will be a long one just to warn you now. I have a 320 GiB HD and a 5 GiB HD. The 320 is faster than the 5 (yes, it is that old). I want to dual boot WinXP and FreeBSD. The main issue is that I don't want to put the FreeBSD buried behind 100G FAT partition as I would like to have the swap closer to the edge of the HD. I use the 5 G to transfer files and such, especially when changing the OS on a partition. I prefer not to use it a a boot as it is only 5400 and I would have to put the CDROM on either it as prime boot and slow it more or on the 320 and slow it down. This seems like a simple problem but it has not turned out that way. First, I tried to install windows on the first 2G partition then tried to install freebsd as follows ad0s0 NTFS2G #Windows Boot ad0s1 FreeBSD 2G #FreeBSD Boot/Swap ad0s3 FAT 20G #Windows ad0s4 FreeBSD 298G#FreeBSD Now when I finished installing WinXP I could boot with no problems but after installing FreeBSD, I get a BSOD when trying to boot WinXP. I looked thru google, FreeBSD, and Microsoft for a possible answer. No. Everyone seems to just put all of WinXP on the first partition and then FreeBSD or Linux. I think thats fine for a 20, 30 or even 80 GiB HD but I think there will be a performance issue with the boot and swap so deep on the HD. Next, I tried to reinstall WinXP but when I get the the diskpart section, I only see one partition of 130G (diskpart cannot get past the 128G limit). There is no other partitions, not even the FAT labeled partition. Now I am getting frustrated. Next I tried Ranish Partition Manager (great PM by the way, 30 possible primaries). I set it as follows 1 FAT 2G #Windows Boot 2 unused 2G #To be FreeBSD 3 FAT 20G #Windows 4 unused 298G#To be FreeBSD. I used RPM to format the two FAT partitions. Then installed WinXP. WinXP see the two FAT partitions, the first one I format to NTFS and continue the install. After reboot, WinXP boots fine. Then I again try to install FreeBSD and reboot to WinXP to low and behold, the BSOD. Now I am MAD. Next, I used RPM to edit the MBR list so the 2 FAT partitions are 1 and 2 respectively. This fools the WinXP Install but again I get the BSOD after I install FreeBSD. I have also tried to install RPM loader with the last complete cylinder for the boot manager to no avail. I am now about ready to play hackysack with my HD. Since then I have tried several variations of these themes, diskpart, fdisk and/or RPM in varying order but every time I get a BSOD or a single partition in WinXP install. I would love to be able to put another partition between the FreeBSD boot partition and the Windows partition for a different OS (possible Solaris) using RPM to boot the more than 4 primes this will create but I don't dare until this is solved. I have tried to reach zen to control my skyrocketing rage but have failed to reach enlightenment after my second keyboard was pounded into legos. Any idea how to do this. I prefer not to have to use the 5G as a boot disk but will have to if I can't get this working. The most frustrating thing is it should just work. I could easily do this with any other OS other than MS crap. Why does WinXP care what I do with the other prime partitions or how this can possible affect them, I am at a complete loss. At least, I think I understand simple tech work as how HD's work but I could be wrong.

The layout should be: ad0s0 - Windows - 2g ad0s1 - FreeBSD - 290g ad0s2 - Windows - Leftovers Once you've partitioned the disk in the FreeBSD install you will then need to label it (this is where you set /, /usr, /var, /tmp, and your swap partitions)... Definately don't use dangerously dedicated mode. Install the FreeBSD boot loader on the ad0s1 slice and install Partition Magic on the MBR, or put the FreeBSD boot loader on the MBR (it should work and has done for me in the past, make sure Windows doesn't overwrite it).

Re: 5.x separate /boot slice?
Michael Dexter [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: I would like to try a separate /boot slice as permitted by FreeBSD 5.x... I forget where you got that from. Anyway, the boot(8) manpage makes it pretty clear that your /boot must be on the a of whatever s you're booting, but I'm not as sure as others that you can't get the loader to then boot up a kernel from that /boot but using some other / on another s, probably on its a. I'd be investigating /boot/defaults/loader.conf and its #currdev=disk1s1a # Set the current device #root_disk_unit=0 # Force the root disk unit number #rootdev=disk1s1a # Set the root filesystem and/or how to execute the built-in loader(8) commands, like unload, set currdev, etc. It sounds like that's possible (something about execing in scripts), but you might have to learn a bit of Forth. Try booting to the loader command line, and try to get it to use a kernel+modules from one s and a / from another. loader(8)'s boot_askname sounds encouraging. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

All my burn failures (about 40% of total!) have been with DVD+Rs, though admittedly a cheap no-name brand bought in Taipei. I've found that they work OK if I burn them at speed=1; if I use the default speed of 4, they usually fail. Same here. DVD+R fail for me at a similar rate, though DVD-R from the same brand are doing just fine. What's puzzling is that growisofs doesn't always notice errors while burning. Approx 1/3rd of errors are first detected while reading the DVD+R back in (MEDIUM ERROR READ BIG etc..). OTOH, I'm adding and later checking md5 checksums for every file; and I've never had a checksum mismatch. If something goes wrong, it's the whole reading of a sector or a bunch of sectors. I don't think that's puzzling. Writing doesn't imply reading; if the drive thinks it has written the data, you can't find out whether the medium has also stored it until you read it back. You'll note that the script I mentioned (http://www.lemis.com/grog/making-AUUGN.html) includes a separate verify step. Based on my experience (and yours :-), I'd strongly recommend always verifying. New discovery about ISO file systems (today): you can burn symlinks to DVD, and they'll work under FreeBSD and Linux. They fail under Microsoft.
