I've released a new version of my host-setup utility. Available here: http://druidbsd.sourceforge.net/download/host-setup.txt or here: http://druidbsd.sourceforge.net/ Now at version 3.2, here's the delta: - Added support for FreeBSD-9.x's new dialog(1) (which lacks `--hline' support). - Added support for /usr/ports/x11/Xdialog You can now execute this on the console or in X windows.

There are no equivalents to either the `--hline' or `--hfile' options. Compare the 8.2-RELEASE manual to the 9-CURRENT manual: 8.2-RELEASE: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=dialog&apropos=0&sektion=0&manpath=Free BSD+8.2-RELEASE&format=html 9-CURRENT: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=dialog&apropos=0&sektion=0&manpath=Free BSD+9-current&format=html When comparing the above man-pages, issues include: OLD SYNTAX: --hline line NEW SYNTAX: Not available anymore?! ISSUE: No longer capable of setting string to be displayed at bottom of dialog box (exact opposite of --title). OLD SYNTAX: --hfile file NEW SYNTAX: Not available anymore?! ISSUE: No longer capable of setting a file to be displayed by pressing either ? or F1. OLD SYNTAX: --yesno text height width [yes|no] NEW SYNTAX: --yesno text height width ISSUE: Optional fourth argument to change default selection no longer accepted?! DISCUSS: Without fourth argument to change default selection, is the programmer expected to finagle this by using common-options `--no-label YES' and `--yes-label NO' and change logic to treat NO as YES and vice-versa? OLD SYNTAX: --prgbox command height width NEW SYNTAX: Not available anymore?! ISSUE: No longer capable of displaying output of command in dialog box? DISCUSS: As an alternative, I guess we could output the text to a temporary file and then use --textbox OLD SYNTAX: --ftree file FS text height width menu-height NEW SYNTAX: Not available anymore?! ISSUE: No longer capable of displaying a tree described by the data from `file' (which should contain find(1) output). DISCUSS: There appears to be no analog (this is an informational dialog that takes no user input opposed to --dselect and --fselect which are for taking user input in the new dialog; guess we're just out of luck on these ones). OLD SYNTAX: --tree FS text height width menu-height [ item ] ... NEW SYNTAX: Not available anymore?! ISSUE: No longer capable of displaying a tree described by a series of arguments? DISCUSS: Like --ftree, there appears to be no analog. Don't get me wrong... the new dialog *adds* more options than it takes away (or breaks). However, it's frustrating that backward compatibility is not being retained. On a side-note, I notice that my CentOS 4.7 system is running a dialog that matches syntax exactly with what was imported into RELENG_9 (this is a great thing -- meaning I can write dialog(1) based scripts that are compatible with both Linux and FreeBSD with very little effort). Though I'd still like to see the gaps filled so that we could also run legacy dialog(1) based scripts designed for the [8.x and] older dialog(1). -- Devin > > > > > > > > > -- > > > Bruce Cran > > > > _ > > > > The information contained in this message is proprietary and/or confidential.

The following changes have been made: - fixed bug where /etc/resolv.conf would be created with 0600 permissions - fixed bug when switching from one default gateway to NO default gateway - fixed typo in the title of netmask prompt and ifconfig options dialog - fixed bug that prevented entry of netmask if no netmask is configured You can get the updated version here: http://druidbsd.sourceforge.net/download/host-setup.txt otaku% sudo ./host-setup.txt User cancelled. otaku% echo $? 1 otaku% Can you provide me with the output of "uname -spr"?

I can't recall as I don't have the thread in front of me, but why was dialog(1) replaced with cdialog? licensing? performance? I guess I could code my script to support this new dialog(1), but... can you see if the below works (I removed the "--hline" option): dialog --clear --title foo --menu abc 17 55 9 1 a 2 b 3 c 4 d 5 e X x 2> /tmp/dialog.menu.foo If that succeeds, then I can modify my script to not use `--hline' on RELENG_9 and higher (referencing `sysctl -n kern.osreldate` for example). [...] A menu should appear. Select an item and then execute for me: echo $? If the above doesn't work, then I suspect that your dialog(1) is not working properly. I'd then go and try this as a sanity check: cd /usr/share/examples/dialog otaku% cd /usr/share/examples/dialog cd: no such file or directory: /usr/share/examples/dialog Really? I would have thought that the examples in that directory (which are merely shell scripts) would have been recoded for cdialog rather than altogether removed. Maybe there was licensing issues there too. Was there? sh menubox echo $? The result in both cases (as long as you actually select a menu item) should be "0". Also...

Though I'm still disappointed that my beloved dialog(1) has gone missing (rather, replaced with something doesn't accept the same arguments and/or options)(which is the problem that we're experiencing here). Is there anybody familiar with the changing-out dialog(1) that can bring me up to speed with reasoning and specifics for RELENG_9? Also, might it be prudent -- before cutting 9_0_RELEASE -- to add the fact that dialog(1) no longer accepts `--hline' to the UPGRADING and/or ERRATA documents? It's almost entirely compatible, but I apologize for the breakage you experienced. The reasons it was replaced it were that it (a) has a better libdialog API, (b) has a better license (LGPL instead of GPL), (c) is maintained, and (d) supports 8-bit character sets. If there

It's working fine for me on FreeBSD 8.1-RELEASE i386. Where you're bombing out is line 2403: [ $retval -eq 0 ] || die "User cancelled." Functionally, that is testing the return status of dialog(1) for the initial menu. See if you can execute this (a rough approximation of the initial menu): dialog --clear --title foo --hline bar --menu abc 17 55 9 1 a 2 b 3 c 4 d 5 e X x 2> /tmp/dialog.menu.foo A menu should appear. Select an item and then execute for me: echo $? If the above doesn't work, then I suspect that your dialog(1) is not working properly. I'd then go and try this as a sanity check: cd /usr/share/examples/dialog sh menubox echo $? The result in both cases (as long as you actually select a menu item) should be "0". Also... (just as a sanity check for me) your /bin/sh is not a symlink to bash is it? -- Devin > > > > > or > > > > http://druidbsd.sourceforge.net/download/host-setup.gz > > > > or > > > > http://druidbsd.sourceforge.net/ > > > > > > > > > > > > For those not familiar with my host-setup(1) utility, it is a 2,500+ > line shell > > script that utilizes the dialog(1) utility to walk the system > administrator > > through setting up their TimeZone, Hostname, Network Interfaces, Default > > Gateway, and DNS.
