SIGPIPE? How is that relevant? Does tail get a SIGPIPE, when awk disappears
in my example? If it does not, why do you bring it up?
And if it does get SIGPIPE, then you are wrong, because the posted
quick test shows the exact opposite behavior -- tail does NOT go
away.
Please, clarify... Thanks.

I'm sorry, this does not make sense to me. Starting with an empty

exit upon seeing the very first line of its input (tail's output).

So, the behavior depends on the size of the buffer -- and thus the

A bug indeed...
I don't understand.
aleph:~$ cat test
blah1
blah2
blah3
aleph:~$ tail -f test | awk '{print $1; exit 0}'
blah1
(hangs)
This is expected. Awk printed one time and exited, per the given
script. The output from tail/input from awk went all at once, awk
printed the first line, exited, and the rest of the input disappeared.
'tail' sent blah1\nblah2\nblah3\n to awk, awk printed until the
first newline and exited.
If I now write to test from another terminal:
aleph:~$ echo blah4 test
Tail tries to write to the pipe, which it finds closed. It receives a
SIGPIPE (tried to write to a pope with no reader--see man signal), and
it terminates.
The same behavior happens if I use a larger file. I see no
inconsistent behavior, nor any bugs.

But this issue is not, it seems, FreeBSD-specific... -mi Ah, I see. With very, very long lines, tail doesn't send the output all at once. The cutoff seems to be 65536 bytes on my system. If tail has to write more than this amount, it breaks it up into mutliple writes of a maximum of 65536 characters each. The problem is that after the first 65536 characters, awk has exited, causing the next 65536 characters which tail attempts to write to cause a SIGPIPE. It seems to be working as intended, though. When piping, you have to be aware of these issues, but I do not think that it is a bug. There must be some boundary where tail splits the output into multiple writes. If, after the first write, a \n hasn't been encountered yet, awk will consider at least some portion of the next write (up until the first \n) to be the same line, at least until it hits its own limit. I have not checked to see what this limit might be. As for SIGPIPE, that's just how the POSIX standard works. The signal is sent to the writing process when it attempts to write to a broken or closed pipe, not when the pipe has closed. If you think that this behavior is bad, you might want to contact IEEE.

The awk script may decide to quit after processing the first 1000 (normal-length) lines, for example... The behavior of the program will then be different depending on whether the average line-length is above, at, or below 65.536 characters. Maybe, it is awk's fault -- it should not be read-ing more than one line at a time, because the script may cause it to ignore some of the read data.

For that, make swap 4096 MB and root the rest. This presumes you will not be running any server which is a realistic for a laptop and then you will not be doing backups very much and that you will be the only one with accounts on the machine. The other would be a more standard division which makes backups easier and tends to protect the system from runaway users and processes more. a: / (root) 256 MB b: /swap 4096 MB d: /tmp768 MB e: /usr 4096 MB f: /var 2048 MB g: /home all the rest. Some combine root and /usr in to one large partition and then make the rest as above. Others make root, /usr and /var one partition the size of the sum of those above and then keep the rest. I like to at least keep /tmp and /home separate from the OS partitions, namely /, /usr and /tmp. And, of course, at least some swap should be in its own partition. Alternatively, you could make /var and /usr smaller and move /var/log, /var/spool, /usr/ports and /usr/local to /home and make symlinks for them. Then /var might be 1024 MB and /usr might be 2048 MB. If you let your Email inbox grow to large size before cleaning it out, then you might also want to move /var/mail to /home. They all would take up just as much room, but it would be out of /home where they could grow as needed without having to know how much in advance.You want the initial /usr to be at least 2048 MB in order to initially install source and the base ports tree. Then, before you do your fisrt csup of the system and of ports and installation of any of the ports, you do the move and make the symlinks. That will leave /usr a little empty, but no problem. If you are running some database that uses /var/db, you have to take that in to account as well. It can grow pretty fast. Note, I find the handbook suggested partition sizes to be a little out of date because of the current trend of increasing size of source and the ports tree, plus, /usr no longer seems to be the assumed location of user's home(login) directories any more. They now tend to go in /home. But, this tends to end up being a religious issue, so find what works for you and go with that and ignore all we soothsayers. jerry Thx ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

It means that you have portaudit installed, and it's run as part of the daily scripts. That's a good thing. I'd recommend consulting the portaudit man page What it's found are packages on your machine that have security bulletins against them - that is, the packages named have vulnerabilities known to the FreeBSD Security team, which they believe should be patched. There's a link to the bulletin for each one - I think you'll find it enlightening to read some or all of them. I'd do a 'pkg_add -r portupgrade' to install that package, do a cvsup to get a current ports tree, then assess, very carefully, what you want to upgrade. IMHO all of the packages mentioned should probably get upgraded, unless you have *exceptional* reasons not to. To upgrade you can do 'portupgrade packagename' for each package named, or if you're feeling bold, 'portupgrade -aRr'. I know that setuid is cause for concern. I have three other machines with FreeBSD, with one going back over a year of virtually continuous 24/7 operation and this is the first time I have seen this type of message. For the programs reported with security problems it begs the question of dependencies if they are removed or updated. Some references are to cups and fetchmail neither of which I use or have use for, that I am aware of. Portupgrade will take care of dependencies. No worries, though you should also peruse the man page for portupgrade to get your knowledge up. This particular machine is primarily a web server. It does have Postfix running but just uses local delivery and only listens on private network interface. I am also a little dubious about posting any specifics to a public mailing list. I am admittedly a novice at this (on all my own systems so no one else's behind is on the line). Short of paying consultation fees to someone, this is about the only live contact I have on the subject. Thanks in advance for info: We were all novices - I still am, in far too many ways.

/var growing too fast
Hello, I thought I would ask your advice. I only have a 2 GB /var slice and space is shrinking fast.

I seem to recall that /var/db is pretty important and I better not lose it... It may be that something else is eating up available space but I am not sure how to measure it. Every day about 1% more of available space is taken. Many thanks for ideas what to do (apart from bying a bigger drive :) And season greetings to you all!
