Perl is devil spawn, but is as inevitable as the weather. It is a syntactic, semantic witches cauldron. Unfortunately some familiarity with it generally advisable. It does run everywhere, but don't be fooled into thinking that it survives change well, new versions do break old scripts sometimes. The book "Programming Perl" is not the book to learn it from, it is as eccentrically written as the language itself. Perl is the ultimate contradiction of the Unix tool philosophy.. but let's not get into that :) - I see some recommendations for Python, I have heard many good things about it as well, it sits high on my list of things to look at. -- Regards Cliff To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Jan 20 0: 7: 9 2002 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from guru.mired.org (dsl-64-192-6-133.telocity.com [64.192.6.133]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with SMTP id D215937B404 for ; Sun, 20 Jan 2002 00:07:04 -0800 (PST) Received: (qmail 78532 invoked by uid 100); 20 Jan 2002 08:07:03 -0000 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Message-ID: <15434.31399.395825.846309@guru.mired.org> Date: Sun, 20 Jan 2002 02:07:03 -0600 To: Alfatrion Cc: questions@freebsd.org, rene@xs4all.nl Subject: Re: what is a good language for system administration?

Actually, I've found Python to be more portable than Java. Java's portability is limited by the availability of the Java VM, which isn't as portable as the Python VM. I've written Python GUI apps on Unix, and they run unmodified on Windows and the Mac. Both Java and Python support CORBA for remote work. Python is a bit uglier than Perl when it comes to munging strings and external commands, but is generally more readable. That it has a REPL and Perl doesn't is also nice. The really cool tool is JPython, a Python implementation in Java. You get the Python REPL running in an environment with your Java objects loaded, so you can test them interactively, or use Python to build debugging trusswork. http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.

Also when I try to install FreeBSD 4.4 (from CD-ROM) the first device probing goes allright but everything freezes after this line: Mounting root from ufs:/dev/md0c At this point a small sound comes from the hard disk as though it tried to read something from there. My motherboard specs are here: http://www.ecsusa.com/ecsusa/www.ecs.com.tw/products/p6bapap.htm I have one large IDE hard-disk which has 7560 Mbytes of space. It uses LBA mode in BIOS. Drive C is primary DOS (1890 Mbytes) which has Windows95 installed in it. Drive D is extended DOS (1875 Mbytes) which is reserved for Windows95 programs. The rest of the disk is unused and I had hoped that I could install FreeBSD on that space. Could this mean that I have incompatible hard disk controller? How do I know which hard disk controller I have? Is there anything I can do? PSL BTW: I once had WindowsNT installed on the same disk with Windows95 but then I removed NT completely. I still have the NT OS loader, though. Could the NT OS loader mess with the FreeBSD installer?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Python completely object orientated ? And doesn't it force you to write your code in an OO structure ? to me that just seems like overkill for the average day to day sysadmin task.

Firstly the java sandbox concept often makes trivial things like shelling out, running a command, and collecting the input difficult. Secondly, most sysadmin tasks are quick things that are performed often. The amount of system resources that you use for a Java application, no matter how small (the JRE or JVM) seems excessive for small scripts that will be run often. Lastly, the fact that Java is not as portable as Sun would have us believe (try move some servlet code from Tomcat to BEA WebLogic if you're very bored) means that you're always going to be slightly reworking your code for every environment that you want to run it. -- - Wayne Pascoe | Everything to excess.

Perl is modelled on natural language and has a set of pronouns ($_ for instance). This way you can end up with some very terse code. This is great if you program in perl all the time because you remember which actions affect which pronouns. If you are an occasional perl programmer then this is when it starts to get confusing. Myself, I prefer my variable names to be explicit. The code _should_ be the documentation. In the end my advice stays the same, go and read the tutorials for each of the mentioned languages and decide from there. You'll end up reading them one day anyway!

Rule of the thump: When there are no special reasons to use Perl, you should use Python. Für beide (genauer: alle) Sprachen gilt: Erst denken, dann schreiben :-) For both (more precise: all) Languages you should thing before you write :) Auch in Python kann man unverständliche Programme schreiben, wenn man nicht aufpasst. Also in Python it is possible to write uncompihendable programs if you are not carefull.

Also, edit /etc/aliases to divert root's email to your normal user account. For example, I have the line: root: scott in mine. That way I get all the regular system emails without needing to become root, and I can read them with my normal mail reading setup. I also have procmail set up to file all such mails in a separate mailbox automatically. Don't forget to run /usr/bin/newaliases after editing the aliases file, to rebuild the alias database.

I like to keep my system up-to-date but I encountered some difficulties while installing glibc 2.2.4. My FreeBSD is version 4.4-RELEASE. When I tried to configure glibc 2.2.4 I got the following message: "freemind# ./configure loading cache ./config.cache checking host system type... i386-unknown-freebsd4.4 *** The GNU C library is currently not available for this platform. *** So far nobody cared to port it and if there is no volunteer it *** might never happen. So, if you have interest to see glibc on *** this platform visit *** http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/porting.html *** and join the group of porters" I would be very glad if you can help me install glibc (my default version is 2.1.2).

It seems rather ridiculous to not store the CMOS time in UTC, since it would then need to convert to UTC to store file access times, and then convert back to the system's time zone when the user issues a command such as "dir." - Marco Radzinschi To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Jan 20 7:46:54 2002 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from smtp.hccnet.nl (smtp.hccnet.nl [62.251.0.13]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id D5F5C37B405 for ; Sun, 20 Jan 2002 07:46:49 -0800 (PST) Received: from there by smtp.hccnet.nl via fia168-94.dsl.hccnet.nl [62.251.94.168] with SMTP for id QAA02075 (8.8.8/1.13); Sun, 20 Jan 2002 16:46:43 +0100 (MET) Message-Id: <200201201546.QAA02075@smtp.hccnet.nl> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-15" From: Simon Siemonsma To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Building postfix from ports Date: Sun, 20 Jan 2002 16:52:04 +0000 X-Mailer: KMail [version 1.3.2] MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG When I type make in /usr/ports/postfix I get asked if want to install stuff like: Perl Compatible Regular Expressions Curus SASL Berkeley DB3 MySQL map lookups OpenLDAP map lookups SMTP/LMTP test server and generator Secure Sockets Layer and Transport Layer Security IPv6 support What the hell is this?

What you say bout > the Python GUI apps is also true with the Java GUI apps. I'm aware of that. The problems I've had with Java were all on Unix platforms. Things like having to install three different VM's to get Java programs from four different vendors to run. A few clients have said "we develop for *this* JVM; we don't care if it works on any of the others." While Java VM's exist for more platforms than Python runs on, no one Java VM runs on all the platforms that Python runs on. It may be that things are better now, so that most Java programs aren't tied to a single JVM. It might also be that for the task at hand - system administration - the difference between JVM's won't matter. > MM> Both Java and Python support CORBA for remote work.

There's a couple of Python-specific remote method invocation implementations floating around, but I haven't investigated them. I like the ability to choose the language appropriate for each object that comes with using CORBA. http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.

Python, you could always hack away in the ultimate language, C. well, to add my own 2cts after I give you my background which is being a windowze coder for about 7 years in Delphi, VB and some C++. I have now switched to the unixes some time ago, to see if the open source grass really IS greener than the black-box grass of windoze.. My philosophy is that I'd rather use a less-complicated language like pascal or (if must be and the business logic isn't that complicated) Visual Basic than a complicated language such as C++ or Perl. See, the thing is that in C++ or Perl, you often end up figuring out the style of programming used by 'the guy who tinkered with it before you' instead of fixing or extending the code at hand. If several types of coders have had their hands at such code, things often turn too messy to maintain :( Perl / C++ people; I don't aim to put you down, or expect flames in return. This is just an opinion, and I fully admit that I don't know Perl at all and C++ only very very shallowly. I saw, didn't like, so turned my back on those languages... Maybe I was wrong. Convince me, nicely ;-) BTW; thanx for the discussion so far. It's been quite an interesting read!

The question may have have been what, in a practical sense is the best to learn in terms of portability, skills, and what may shine best on your CV as a "Unix Systems Admin" The answer to these two questions is not the same. For the wider world I think the answer is still: - Know the shell backwards and all the needed tools for use with the shell. - (Painful as I find this to say) learn Perl. There is such a huge amount of canned modules for Perl available, and it is increasingly used where people used to write "C" for something too slow to be done in the shell, that I don;t think there are any other players seriously in the game yet. Java (the language) and Java (the script) .. which do not have any relationship to each other whatsoever btw .. are not really used, or are ever likely to be, for Systems Administration at it's usual level. Most of the other suggestions are still really "niche" markets. Mmm. There was as usual, the comment that it is possible to write cryptic code in any language. Due to the totally eccentric nature of Perl, it's completely undisciplined growth, it's lack of syntactic integrity, it's arbitrary semantics etc etc .. it makes it much easier to do this than in most other languages :). But it's here to stay. -- Regards Cliff To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Jan 20 9:38:11 2002 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from post.mail.nl.demon.net (post-10.mail.nl.demon.net [194.159.73.20]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 69AF037B404 for ; Sun, 20 Jan 2002 09:38:07 -0800 (PST) Received: from [212.238.194.207] (helo=tanya.raggedclown.net) by post.mail.nl.demon.net with esmtp (Exim 3.33 #1) id 16SLuw-0000qW-00 for questions@freebsd.org; Sun, 20 Jan 2002 17:38:06 +0000 Received: by tanya.raggedclown.net (tanya.raggedclown.intra, from userid 500) id D8120117F; Sun, 20 Jan 2002 18:38:04 +0100 (CET) Date: Sun, 20 Jan 2002 18:38:04 +0100 From: Cliff Sarginson To: questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: what is a good language for system administration?

Convince me, nicely ;-) > Well, the question is about languages for System Administration, which really is not the same thing as languages for System's Programming. Using a compiled language like "C" etc. is really quite inappropriate for systems administration actvivities, not least of which it would be incredibly complex programming in some cases where a one line shell pipe-line would do it. Using an interpreted (using that word loosely) language for these tasks, which is easy to change and test, and is generally not time critical, is the only sensible option. I hope you were not serious about Pascal btw. Possibly the *most* unportable language on the planet. Almost nothing useful can be done in it outside of mathematical computation, without it's extensions, and it's extensions are all different in every incarnation of the language to be found. -- Regards Cliff To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Jan 20 9:43:57 2002 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from post.mail.nl.demon.net (post-10.mail.nl.demon.net [194.159.73.20]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id C549037B404 for ; Sun, 20 Jan 2002 09:43:53 -0800 (PST) Received: from [212.238.194.207] (helo=tanya.raggedclown.net) by post.mail.nl.demon.net with esmtp (Exim 3.33 #1) id 16SM0W-00011g-00 for freebsd-questions@freebsd.org; Sun, 20 Jan 2002 17:43:52 +0000 Received: by tanya.raggedclown.net (tanya.raggedclown.intra, from userid 500) id E3F99117F; Sun, 20 Jan 2002 18:43:51 +0100 (CET) Date: Sun, 20 Jan 2002 18:43:51 +0100 From: Cliff Sarginson To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: Building postfix from ports Message-ID: <20020120174351.GC1952@raggedclown.net> References: <200201201546.QAA02075@smtp.hccnet.nl> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline In-Reply-To: <200201201546.QAA02075@smtp.hccnet.nl> User-Agent: Mutt/1.3.24i Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG On Sun, Jan 20, 2002 at 04:52:04PM +0000, Simon Siemonsma wrote: > When I type make in /usr/ports/postfix I get asked if want to install stuff > like: > Perl Compatible Regular Expressions > Curus SASL > Berkeley DB3 > MySQL map lookups > OpenLDAP map lookups > SMTP/LMTP test server and generator > Secure Sockets Layer and Transport Layer Security > IPv6 support > > What the hell is this?

For example you may use LDAP for your hosts database, etc. If you don't know what they are all for, then you probably don't need them :). I would select the Perl regex support though and ignore the others.

Again I have the problem, that the installation of the GNome-Package needs a very long time (now there are six hours gone, and nothing is complete, sometimes a package is installed then there is a pause of 20-30 minutes). A reader of the FreeBSD-newsgroup told me to install first the base operating-system with X-Support ("X-User"), after reboot configure the X-Server and then install the GNome-Package. I have done this, but the installation-time is about hours(!!!). I have FreeBSD 4.4 stable (on 6 CDs). My Notebook is a Toshiba 200CDS with CDROM.

I just want to build postfix. That's a little like telling the car salesman that you just want a car, and don't care whether it's an automatic or manual transmission. In order: * Perl Compatible Regular Expressions If you're a Perl user, this can be very useful, as you can use all the Perl regex syntax you're familiar with. If you're not, you'll find this confusing. So use this if you're a Perl user. * Cyrus SASL If you use Cyrus as your IMAP server, set this; if not, don't. * Berkeley DB3 If you've installed db3 on your system, you may want to use this. db3 is a fast, if minimalist, database system that Postfix can use to speed up lookups. If you don't use db3 on your system, or have a fairly small mail installation, don't use this. * MySQL map lookups If you have MySQL on your system, you have the option of telling Postfix that you want to use it for map lookups. If you don't, or if you have a small mail installation, don't use it. * OpenLDAP map lookups If you're using OpenLDAP, you can use it for map lookups instead. If you don't, or you have a small mail installation, don't use it. * SMTP/LMTP test server and generator Almost certainly unnecessary for your installation. * Secure Sockets Layer and Transport Layer Security If you want to use SSL or TLS for mail transfer, use this. If not, don't. * IPv6 support If you're using IPv6 addresses, you'll want to use this. If not, don't. The postfix port tries to make this really, really easy for you, but perhaps it would be better if it provided a little more explanation for the options. In any case, it's not trying to be confusing. If you don't like this, then you definitely don't want to install ghostscript. :) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Jan 20 10:19:45 2002 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from operamail.com (operamail.infinite.com [199.29.68.126]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id D425637B481 for ; Sun, 20 Jan 2002 10:19:17 -0800 (PST) X-WM-Posted-At: operamail.com; Sun, 20 Jan 02 13:19:12 -0500 X-WebMail-UserID: leegold Date: Sun, 20 Jan 2002 13:19:12 -0500 From: leegold To: Ray Kohler Cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-EXP32-SerialNo: 00000000 Subject: RE: emacs will not start Message-ID: <3C5AA2C6@operamail.com> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="ISO-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Mailer: InterChange (Hydra) SMTP v3.62 Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I didn't install, nor do I want at this X-windows on my pc. why is emacs asking for an x library?

Hey all, I just cut a kernel to include SMP and I would like to check the status of the CPUs (2 P3s). I know the new kernel booted fine because dmesg and motd (plus the clean boot...) but I'd like to get that warm fuzzy feeling from manually seeing that both CPUs are in action.

OK, now for some answering. Do you have file descriptors open to files you have deleted? Check with ps if you have vi's, tail's, less's open for old files, or files rotated long ago. Check with fstat if that happens. Files that are open when unlinked are not removed from the filesystem until the last handle is closed, even though they don't show up in df and du. Check for daemons that use huge tempfiles (unnamed files) If all else fails, try a reboot, that will make sure all files are closed. See if you still miss 20Gb Mark -- Nice testing in little China...

Meaning ? How would you like to see the GUI "handled" ? Having spent the whole evening fighting X again (I will get direct rendering to work on my card if it kills me, I know it can do it...) it certainly could do with some work on it's configurational interface. But I don't know if that is what you are talking about. And yes I do see the X Window System surviving several incarnations to come.

None that I can think of... I prefer the aliases file method, because it keeps that bit of configuration in /etc with everything else, rather than in a separate file in another directory. No reason not to do it the other way if you prefer that, though.

Sounds like a big pain to keep up with. Do _NOT_ put commands in /etc/rc.conf. Three good reasons: (1) There is no guarantee when in the rc(8) startup /etc/rc.conf is first called. (2) There is no guarantee that /etc/rc.conf will only be run once during startup. (3) There is no guarantee that /etc/rc.conf will not run by the system at times other than startup. -- Crist J.

I have a static IP block from my ISP.. I would also like to have a firewall other than the piece of junk in lucent dslpipe "router." Thus, all the actual boxes get real IPs (for the most part) and I need a solution that allows me to put the firewall between the router and the lan. > > The firewall has one address from that block on the interior > > interface, and an address in the 10/8 block on the exterior.

Why are you doing this and not using static nat for this? Why should I use nat if I'm paying for an IP block? The lan is not an intranet, it's a bunch of "real" servers out on the internet. > If you have a good reason, then maybe running nat on the router or > getting another /30 for your BSD<-->Router would help out. You > could also trip out nat but it would be a mess. The reason is simply that I'd rather not go through the hassle of assigning a bunch of private IPs to my boxes just because they're inside the firewall. What would really be great is an unnumbered interface between the firewall and the router, but I don't think either FreeBSD or the cheapy lucent dsl router support this option. Getting the /30 would do, but it seems to me there should be a way to handle this "as-is" that isn't a massive hack. > > My brain can't seem to think of a way to do this via route, and natd + > > my current stateful IPFW appears to be a no-go.. searching the lists > > and usenet have turned up others with the same problems, but no real > > solutions using these tools.

If I do this, it will work.. period.

I think I didn't explain the problem too clearly.. I'll try and explain more clearly here. The "lan" consists of every machine I have other than the firewall. Web, dns, ftp, cvsup, etc etc servers, all of them in a rack and on a switch. The internal interface for the firewall is also on this segment, and has the first IP address in the /28 block. The external interface of the firewall is the only device plugged into the integrated (and slow) hub built into the router. This serves many purposes but the most important two are : 1) Every packet must pass through the firewall before any others see it, via sniffing or any other method. 2) Any machine surreptitiously plugged into the routers hub will not be able to access the internet; I consider this important. Everything works great *except* for internet access on the firewall itself. Because the default route on the firewall is 10.0.0.1, it always attempts to use it's interface on that subnet for internet access. The result, obviously, is that I cannot install ports, packages, or anything else directly from the firewall; I have to download the packages/tarballs on another machine and transfer them to the firewall, and then do the install. I'm only concerned with nating one address, the external firewall interface. natd, however, has about zero capability for this when used on a stateful firewall. I'm coming up with other ideas.. but this seems like it should be easy to do, even if it's not.

Does any one know what the problem is. This > seems to have begun after /var file system filled up. I expect that you've only given half the story (which I'm not saying is intentional). Sendmail doesn't pull things out of thin air, so if the queue keeps building up then either you have a LOT of e-mail going through, or something is seriously broken. In either case, it's all in syslog. The messages you have included are both saying the same thing: /var is full. Sendmail doesn't like /var filling up at all, since pretty much everything it needs to do is on /var: /var/spool/mqueue sendmail working/queue directory /var/log logging (via syslog) /var/mail user mail drops /var/tmp usual "drop of last resort" /var/run sendmail "pid" file So what do you do? 1. Stop sendmail. 2. Clear up as much space as you can on /var. 3. Run mailq to see what's actually there. 4. Try running "sendmail -qI" (refer to the man page) a few times to try to get rid of a few messages at a time. 5. Look at the mail queue each time to check what happened. If things are going back into the queue, you probably have something else to fix. 6. Once everything is cleaned up, start sendmail again. You may then like to look at where all your disk space is allocated, and maybe reconfigure sendmail to use different locations where there
