My point isn't whether the FreeBSD /bin/sh expands it, but that not all
systems are FreeBSD, and that one can have problems on other *NIX systems.
Knowing where there may be differences, and avoiding the assumptions that a
program behaves the same on all systems, can help writing code that's
portable without surprises.
This begs the rookie question:
What is the portable way to determine an aribtrary user's home directory
then, if ~username is not portable across shells?
Does one just have to grep and awk /etc/passwd? Is the format of
/etc/passwd portable, such that one standard grep/awk sequence will
portably return the home directory for user username?
Probably the most portable way to do this would be to use awk. A
simple script, homedir, might look like this:
#!/bin/sh
# getting the backwhacks correct is sometimes ``interesting''
homedir=`awk -F: /^$1:/{print \\$6} /etc/passwd`
[ -z $homedir ] {
echo 'empty home for ' $1 21
exit 1
}
echo $homedir
exit 0
That does assume that all the user information is stored within the
local /etc/passwd -- if you're using NIS or LDAP or anything
like that, then you need a method that calls getpwnam(3) for you.
TIMTOWTDI:
pw user show -n $username | cut -d: -f 9 (But pw(8) is FreeBSD specific)
perl -le print +(getpwnam($username))[7];
su $username -c 'echo $HOME' (But only if the script is running with
root privileges)
Of course, none of these methods are guaranteed to work in all
circumstances. In which case, you might as well choose to program
in a language or for an interpreter that is readily available on the
systems you are writing the code for and that provides the functionality
you need. On FreeBSD that probably comes down to using ~username with
/bin/sh (with liberal comments warning of uportable assumptions, of
course) -- which should work unmodified with any of the *BSDs or MacOS X.
If you program the rest of the script carefully it should also work with
bash under Linux (and others) or even (I think) ksh on Solaris.
Portability is hard.
Cheers,
Matthew

Then, when the computer is busy transferring packets, it suddenly reboots without warning. Sometimes, Konqueror will freeze, the mouse pointer will freeze for a few seconds before the reboot. It doesn't take very long on the internet before the lockup/reboot happens, only minutes. It happens over and over and over. I can't stay on the internet long enough to even use it. Nothing at all reported in /var/log/messages? Not that I can recall. As I stated earlier, I had to remove FBSD and install Linux to be able to use this mailing list, but I did look through the logs after the spontaneous reboots and found nothing that indicated what was wrong. Remember, the spontaneous reboots and hangs only happen when I dial up the internet and start browsing or sending email or such, basically start sending/receiving packets. It doesn't happen when no packets are moving over the modem, only when its busy. It isn't the modem failing either, obviously, since the modem works flawlessly under Linux and windows. Ok. You mean it sometimes 'hangs' and sometimes just reboots? When I was using FBSD 6.1, it was always a spontaneous reboot, but the system would usually freeze for a couple of seconds before the reboot occurred. I found a notice in the errata on the FBSD website that sounded like it addressed what could be causing this problem: FreeBSD-EN-06:02.net, and I applied the patch to 6.1 and rebuilt the kernel. I thought that this had fixed the problem because I didn't get a spontaneous reboot after being on the net for a short time. But, I was wrong because It did spontaneous reboot, just not immediately after starting to use the net. So, that's when I moved on to FBSD 6.2. After setting it up to dial up using KPPP, I was on the net for maybe a half hour when it suddenly froze up. The computer was locked up. I had to hard reboot using the power button. After that, I put linux back on the system to seek help, since I didn't know what the problem was and I coundn't use FBSD to seek help. One more thing that may or may not be important. I remember seeing a message at boot up about IRQ 3 not in the list of probed ports or something to that effect. But, KPPP recognized my external modem without a problem. Its on /dev/ttyS0 in KPPP. My computer came with an internal winmodem piece of @#!$, but I removed that when I plugged in the Zoom external. The internal modem is no longer present. The external is plugged in to the serial port. Could this be an IRQ conflict or something like that? I'm assuming that the message was about the absent internal modem. Interrupts in KInfoCenter reports that serial is using interrupt 4. Please help. I don't mind going through the reinstall if I can get FreeBSD working. Ah, so you're using KPPP rather than FreeBSD's user PPP? Have you tried using 'regular' user PPP? No. I'm new to FreeBSD, and KPPP was quicker and easier for me to get up and going, plus I like to have the icon docked into the system tray when I'm online. I don't know anything about KPPP, but would expect with KDE's linux leanings that it would be using pppd instead. Where and how have you configured ppp? I configured KPPP with the info needed to dial up. In ancient PC tradition, IRQ 4 is used for the first serial port, IRQ 3 for the second. Eg from /var/run/dmesg.boot here (also an older box): sio0 at port 0x3f8-0x3ff irq 4 flags 0x10 on isa0 sio0: type 16550A I have sio1 disabled in /boot/loader.conf, just to quell such messages, but it seems yours is using the correct IRQ (4) for your ext. modem. My computer originally came with an internal modem which was on COM1 under windows. COM2 would have been the serial nipple on the back of the computer. I removed the internal modem, and when I attached the external modem, I assume the serial controller on the motherboard reassigned the external nipple to COM1 and disabled COM2. The internal slot is empty, which I guess is why FBSD throws the error message about it being disabled. One last question. How do I get FBSD to completely power off my computer

Frankfurt-born Henze is always at the leading edge, as demonstrated not only by his performances as a DJ, but also by his many successful productions for world-renowned artists. He can already look back on a string of releases, produced together with gleaming techno artists from the likes of Oliver Lieb, Toni Rios, Frank Lorber, John Selway, Pascal FEOS, Marco Zaffarano, Thomas Heckmann, and too many more to mention. He has also done remixes for LSG, Robert Armani, Josh Wink, Amphetamine and labels including Primevil, Terminal M, Black Nation, Traction, Invasion, Pocket, Highland Beats, Endangered Species, Frisbee, Bound, Kneedeep, Ascend, Corachi, P.V., Speaker Attack, Deafult, Danza and his own Federation Of Drums. Of Henze's nearly 15 aliases, his most notable alias, Gecko, delivered an outstanding energetic masterpiece of progressive tunes. Just Close Your Eyes was a wildy successful track, attaining play from many of the top DJs, as well as being licensed for nearly a dozen compilation CD's. With the release of more than fifty hit records a year, Joerg Henze ranks with the most productive artists in the electronic music scene.

Re: How to upgrade an exist freebsd to freebsd6.2 ?
Hello, BTW: Does this upgrade procedure apply and can it be used to go from 6.1 to 6.2 freeBSD too ? Thanks DAk yes, it will work from any version of 6 and up. It should work fine in 7 unless the technique changes for some reason. I upgraded from 6.1 to 6.2 last week following Eric's points which I like for being clear and precise. The only issue you need to be cautious about is when using mergmaster to merge changes for files you may have modified in /etc/ I messed it up and as a result had to recrate /etc from a back up that I accidentally (mind you!) made before upgrading.

Re: Which version of Opera to use?
On stardate Sat, 27 Jan 2007, the wise Gerard Seibert entered: I have been thinking of trying Opera in KDE to see if it works better than Firefox. I have been having nothing but problems with Firefox and Flash. Would I be better off trying Opera or Linux-Opera? Both are offered in the ports. I'm using the native FreeBSD version with flash and that works great, so I can only recommend it. Also in my case FF constantly crashed when opening a site whith flash. Until recently only the linux-opera had flash support, but now they both have.

That does assume that all the user information is stored within the
local /etc/passwd -- if you're using NIS or LDAP or anything
like that, then you need a method that calls getpwnam(3) for you.
A one-liner that should take care of these is:
python -c import os.path; print os.path.expanduser('~$username')
(This doesn't work with python-1.5.1 on an ancient Linux system
as os.path didn't appear until later).

Pentium 3 Clock Frequency Control
Hi all, Is it posible to control Pentium 3 clock frequency on FreeBSD? The purpose is to reduce the power consumption and lengthen battery life. In addition, how can we know what speed of cpu clock frequecy a cpu supports and what speed a cpu take at any given time? I suppose that a command which returns each information exist. Well, a couple years ago I patched to, if I remember correctly, 5.4 kernel and it made this need possible at least on Pentium M. I tried to find the web page but I failed.

Issues with mpt driver
Hey everyone. I'm trying to get an install done of FreeBSD 6.2 on a Dell PowerEdge SC1435 w/ a Dell SAS 5 adapter (Made by LSI). The mpt driver detects this correctly, but as soon as I do something that involves a stream of disk activity (like update the ports tree), it goes into a frenzy, reporting a constant stream of- Attempting to abort req [REQ INFO] abort of req [REQ INFO] completed into the syslog. This is an AMD Opteron system and I've tried it with AMD64 and i386 and both have the same result. Are there any immediate, obvious solutions for such a thing? Even a complicated solution would be ok at this point! What other information might I need to provide to help you out?

I've tried portupgrade first, but as it bumped into a boatload of errors I eventually had to resort to upgrade individual packages. This left me with a mix of packages of xfce versions 4.2 and 4.4, and a build failure in xfce4-mcs-manager which I'm unable to resolve: /usr/local/lib/libxfcegui4.so: undefined reference to `xfce_desktop_entry_has_translated_entry' Saw that, or something like it. All non-xfce4 packages which the xfce4 packages depend upon appear to have upgraded ok (or so portupgrade says). Is there anything I can do except waiting for prebuilt packages? pkg_delete or make deinstall everything xfce\* and libxfce\*, then just install /usr/ports/x11-wm/xfce4. From what I've seen so far, xfce4.4 is definitely worth it. I've updated 3 machines so far using portupgrade and haven't had any undue trouble. It went something like this: #portsnap fetch update pkgdb -F pkg_version -v -l '' (my usual upgrade starter) pkgdb tells me a bunch of xfce4 ports are now obsolete. I tell it to try to delete them. It fails. I interrupt it (^C) and manually uninstall the meta-port: # pkg_deinstall x11-wm/xfce4 Then # pkgdb -F again, again telling it to delete the obsolete ports. This time it succeeds. Now the money shot: # portupgrade -rR xfce\* portupgrade -N x11-wm/xfce4 Updates everything and re-installs the meta-port, which has a couple new dependencies. Note that lots of the ports being updated have OPTIONS screens, so either keep an eye on it or run through them in advance (see the archives for scripted ways of doing this). I second Warren's endorsement of the upgrade. :) JN ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

ipfw pipe show output - clarification needed please
I set up a dummynet pipe with this sequence of commands: sysctl -w net.inet.ip.fw.one_pass=0 ipfw pipe 1 config bw 16Mbit/s ipfw add 1 pipe 1 all from any to any So far so good. Works great. However, when I look at the pipe itself, with this command: ipfw pipe show 1 I see this: # ipfw pipe show 1 1: 16.000 Mbit/s0 ms 50 sl. 1 queues (1 buckets) droptail mask: 0x00 0x/0x - 0x/0x BKT Prot ___Source IP/port Dest.

First, the ipfw pipe creation command I ran is not (as far as I can tell) TCP specific, and further, my ipfw rule says any to any - but when I look at the pipe, it has a protocol specified (TCP) and further, has a port number (22). I want to throttle ALL IP traffic, not just TCP, and certainly not just port 22. What am I doing wrong ? Second, there are seven headings (from BKT at the left to Drp on the right) but underneath those seven headings are _9_ values. What I really want to know is how many packets I am droppinig ... but I can't tell which of the fields are the dropped - I assume it is the final number .. if so, what is that measured in ? Packets ? Finally, why am I dropping any packets ? My total traffic is 5-7 Mbits/s on average ... I don't see why I would be dropping any packets at all ... are they being dropped because the system can't keep up, or are they being dropped because I am hitting the throttle limit and it drops everything above that ?

so I have a script /usr/local/etc/rc.d/sshd.sh that I use to restart sshd
but sshd most of the time never comes back.
there is nothing relevant that makes it to /var/log/messages
if I start sshd manually with /usr/local/etc/rc.d/sshd.sh there are no

A one-liner that should take care of these is:

(This doesn't work with python-1.5.1 on an ancient Linux system

Not all systems contain python though (and many don't), so $HOME is
still a better bet.

My point isn't whether the FreeBSD /bin/sh expands it, but that not all
systems are FreeBSD, and that one can have problems on other *NIX systems.
Knowing where there may be differences, and avoiding the assumptions that a
program behaves the same on all systems, can help writing code that's
portable without surprises.
This begs the rookie question:
What is the portable way to determine an aribtrary user's home directory
then, if ~username is not portable across shells?
Does one just have to grep and awk /etc/passwd? Is the format of
/etc/passwd portable, such that one standard grep/awk sequence will
portably return the home directory for user username?
Probably the most portable way to do this would be to use awk. A
simple script, homedir, might look like this:
#!/bin/sh
# getting the backwhacks correct is sometimes ``interesting''
homedir=`awk -F: /^$1:/{print \\$6} /etc/passwd`
[ -z $homedir ] {
echo 'empty home for ' $1 21
exit 1
}
echo $homedir
exit 0
That does assume that all the user information is stored within the
local /etc/passwd -- if you're using NIS or LDAP or anything
like that, then you need a method that calls getpwnam(3) for you.
TIMTOWTDI:
pw user show -n $username | cut -d: -f 9 (But pw(8) is FreeBSD specific)
perl -le print +(getpwnam($username))[7];
su $username -c 'echo $HOME' (But only if the script is running with
root privileges)
Of course, none of these methods are guaranteed to work in all
circumstances. In which case, you might as well choose to program
in a language or for an interpreter that is readily available on the
systems you are writing the code for and that provides the functionality
you need. On FreeBSD that probably comes down to using ~username with
/bin/sh (with liberal comments warning of uportable assumptions, of
course) -- which should work unmodified with any of the *BSDs or MacOS X.
If you program the rest of the script carefully it should also work with
bash under Linux (and others) or even (I think) ksh on Solaris.
Portability is hard.
Cheers,
Matthew
Yes, but I don't know of any engineering firms right off hand that run
the BSDs. Quite a few engineering groups run solaris or linux, just
because the machines are donated or the number of support folks who are
familiar with the operating platform and can maintain the systems is higher.

The included readme addresses linux, and there is no indication of what is supposed to be done with libmap.conf, which leaves me in the dark. Has anyone figured this out? Thanks, Oliver I grabbed the symbols table for the flash player, but unfortunately I'm clueless as to determining what the hell the original linuxplugin-wrapper dev had in mind, so I can't really move on further than that. I can provide my info though so someone who does have an idea can proceed on, if necessary. If you use any sound requiring flash modules, Flash player will make Firefox ( / Seamonkey?) segfault and core dump; this is true for linux-firefox with (at least) only the default config. This is because (like some have mentioned before in previous threads) flash uses ALSA, which is linux's answer to getting rid of OSS. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Linux_Sound_Architecture. With that aside, Flash 9 is incredibly unstable with linux emulation. Flash 9 under Linux worked fine on Gentoo when I ran the beta version--other than flash animations just being a bit slow. rant It's a pain in the ass that Adobe / Macromedia had to invent a technology that so many web developers sought, just because of its ease of developing; if only the developers sought to learn CSS and a bit of proper javascripting, then stuff would be easier for viewing on all platforms.

If the answer is yes, no, then I will file a bug report to have linux-firefox added to the run-dependency list. linuxpluginwrapper doesn't support flash9 yet, so no, you can't use it with any native browser. There is a standalone flash player I believe, but not in the plugin package. I wouldn't add a run dependency on linux-firefox though. The plugin can be used with other browsers as well. A pkg-message would be nice though.

Re: how to enable linux flash player [9] in firefox
I've tried installing this, too. The included readme addresses linux, and there is no indication of what is supposed to be done with libmap.conf, which leaves me in the dark. Has anyone figured this out? linux-flashplugin9 is useful for people who use the linux-firefox. The libmap.conf / linuxpluginwrapper code only currently works with linux-flashplugin7, so you'll need to keep using that one instead if you use the native FreeBSD firefox. When/if flashplayer9 is working with FreeBSD firefo, then the flashplayer7 port will be removed.

This utility can be used to test performance of storage devices.
First, one need to generate file with I/O operations:
# set mediasize=`diskinfo /dev/device | awk '{print $3}'`
# set sectorsize=`diskinfo /dev/device | awk '{print $2}'`
# raidtest genfile -s $mediasize -S $sectorsize -n 5
It will generate test which contains 5 I/O requests with random
size and random offset. Size is a multiple of sectorsize, but less than
or
equal to 128kB (maxium size of I/O request). I/O request type (READ or
WRITE)
is random as well.
All test data are stored in 'raidtest.data' file in current working
directory.
To run test, one should type:
# raidtest test -d /dev/device -n 10
This command will read test data from 'raidtest.data' file, run 10
processes
which will be used to send requests to the given device in parallel.
When test is finished you will see statistics:
Bytes per second: x
Requests per second: y
If you compare performance of two storage devices, use the same data
file!
usage: raidtest genfile [-frw] -s mediasize [-S sectorsize] -n
nrequests [file]
raidtest test [-Rrw] -d device [-n processes] [file]
where:
-d device path to tested device
-f if raidtest.data file or specified file already
exists,
remove it and create new one
-n nrequestsnumber of requests to generate
-n processesnumber of processes to run
-r generate/run only READ requests
-R generate random data for write requests
-s size of destination device
-S sector size of destination device
-w generate/run only WRITE requests
filepath to the data file instead of
default 'raidtest.data'

FreeBSD 5.2.1 won't run with ATI RADEON
Hello: I am new to Unix and purchased a copy of FreeBSD 5.2.1 from Fry's to begin learning. FreeBSD is used at my work and I wish to learn the OS myself. Hoping that an integrated package would be easier to install and have all the packages I needed, I bought this version. My system is thus: - Compaq Presario with Pentium D - 512 MB ram - 200GB drive - ATI RADEON XPRESS 200 graphics card - NEC 1740CX multisync monitor After installation the 'startx' command will not start the GUI KDE. I get an error message ' no screens found'. I have tried all the combinations of horizontal-vertical sync that are within the range of my monitor but all fail. I have tried every one of the different resolutions that are within the horizontal-vertical sync range of my monitor but all fail. Here are additional problems: - The XFree86 installer has no entry for the ATI RADEON device - The XFree86 installer has no entry for the NEC 1740CX monitor Since I am completely new to Unix I do not know how to send you the log file. I am using a different system to install Unix than my Internet connected system. I am sure others have seen problems with the graphics portion of installation. This must be a common problem. I had exactly the same problem installing Suse Linux before trying to use FreeBSD. I found that with Suse, if I installed at the lowest resolution the OS would resolve the problem during the first boot and reset the resolution to the max. size. FreeBSD does not do this. Can anyone help? Brenda Powers ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hi gang,
I have read quite a few articles on how to start vsftpd at
system bootup but nothing seems to work on my new and updated
6.2 STABLE machine.
I have copied /usr/ports/ftp/vsftpd/files/vsftpd.sh.in
to /usr/local/etc/rc.d/vsftpd.sh and it is executable.
In /etc/rc.conf I am placing:
vsftpd_enable=YES
and in vsftpd.conf:
listen=YES
background=YES
I can't see the error when my machine boots but when I attempt
to run the rc.d script manually I get:
.: Can't open %%RC_SUBR%%: No such file or directory
I can start the daemon at the command line:
/usr/local/libexec/vsftpd
I installed the port sysutils/rc_subr thinking it may help but
it does not. I also reinstalled vsftpd with the make option
RC_NG but it doesn't seem to do anything (isn't it supposed to
install the rc.d script?).
The shell tries to parse this line:
. %%RC_SUBR%%
I have no idea what it is trying to source.
Here is the entire script:

if ! egrep -q -i -E ^background.*=.*YES$
${required_files} then
err 1 vsftpd script need background=YES on

}
run_rc_command $1
It seems the funny %% variables cannot be understood. I had to hard
code the paths:
#. %%RC_SUBR%%
. /etc/rc.subr
name=vsftpd
rcvar=`set_rcvar`
load_rc_config $name
: ${vsftpd_enable:=NO}
: ${vsftpd_flags:=}
#command=%%PREFIX%%/libexec/$name
command=/usr/local/libexec/$name
#required_files=%%PREFIX%%/etc/$name.conf
required_files=/usr/local/etc/$name.conf
Then it worked. I'm ok with this but it leaves me wondering why I have
to do this. Thanks for your time.
You should not have had to copy that file from the ports dir. The
%%RC_SUBR%% is normally replaced with the appropriate path during 'make
install'. I've seen this happen when a port fails to finish the install
due to errors. Unfortunately most how-to web pages say to run
make;make install;make clean
This doesn't allow you any time to see if any errors occurred or to see
any messages the port maintainer presents to you after install.
Are you certain your port installed without errors? I would try running
'make deinstall;make clean;make install' and then see if the port
properly installs the startup script with the vars expanded for you, or
if an error pops up.

The big question is, how much effort would it take to creat a javascript out of whatever-flash-requires? Java? Not that bad, but the VM isn't as lightweight as the flash runtime engine (believe it or not). Not only that, it takes better developers than the ones that do flash (no, you can't point, click and drop little animations where you like or out of the box effects). About the only thing that flash can do that javascript and the rest can't do (easily) is video and audio, but then again that can be hacked using the right tools and setup in Java (maybe with a bit of native, or C/C++ code) to do what you need to do at lower levels. As for Javascript, it can do the majority of the junk that flash is used for nowadays, with a little proper HTML coding. Flash is just a fad that developers use to deploy quick projects (similar to VB was back in the day for Windows users). That's a good thought though..
