[OT] Help with Perl Script
Hi,
I appreciate that this is off-topic and wholly understand if I don't
get an answer, although one would really appreciate it if I do get an
answer :)
Basically to improve my perl scripting, I've given myself a challenge
where I would like to order the users in the passwd file by uid, I
could do this in another language but I'm focused on improving my perl
scripting. The script I've written so far is below, I've managed to
figure out hashes and have read in the file and created a hash of
hashes. It's after this that I'm stuck, I'm struggling to order the
hash of hashes by uid and then print the ordered list out? Can someone
please help me to finish this off? I'm trying to avoid using perl
modules as I want to improve my scripting ability.
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
my ( $login, $p, $uid, $gid, $gecos, $dir, $s );
my $k;
my $v;
my $key;
my $ip;
my $value;
my @sorted=();
my @uid=();
my %HoH = ();
my $file='/etc/passwd';
open( PASSWD, $file ) or die Can't open $file : $!;
while( PASSWD ) {
( $login, $p, $uid, $gid, $gecos, $dir, $s ) = split( ':' );
$HoH{ $login }{ 'login' } = $login;
$HoH{ $login }{ 'p' } = $p;
$HoH{ $login }{ 'uid' } = $uid;
$HoH{ $login }{ 'gid' } = $gid;
$HoH{ $login }{ 'gecos' } = $gecos;
$HoH{ $login }{ 'dir' } = $dir;
$HoH{ $login }{ 's' } = $s;
#print $login\n;
}
close PASSWD;
#while (($k,$v) = each %HoH) {
# print While Loop: $k\n;
#}
#foreach $ip (keys %HoH) {
# print First For: $ip\n;
# while (($key, $value) = each %{ $HoH{$ip} } ) {
# print $key = $value \n;
# }
# print \n;
#}
#while ( ($k, $v) = each %HoH ) {
# print $k: \n;
# while ( ($key, $value) = each %$v ) {
# print $key=$value ;
# }
# print \n;
#}
#for $k ( sort keys %HoH ) {
# print $k: ;
# for $v ( sort keys %{ $HoH{$k} } ) {
# print $v=$HoH{$k}{$v} ;
# }
# print \n;
#}
#...@sorted = sort { $HoH{$a} cmp $HoH{$b} } keys %HoH;
#print @sorted\n;
#foreach my $sorted ( sort { $HoH{$a}-{uid} cmp $HoH{$b}-{uid} }
keys %HoH)
foreach my $sorted ( sort { $HoH-{$a}{uid} cmp $HoH-{$b}{uid} } keys %HoH)
{
print STDOUT $HoH{$sorted}\n
}
Thank in advance for any help.

Packagekit bug icon not disappearing in F11!
I have machines running both F11 and F12 - in F12 if there are updates available then the PackageKit icon pops onto the (gnome) taskbar, and if I then use yum on the CLI to update the system the icon on the taskbar goes away once the updates are complete. Presumably if I allowed PackageKit to run the updates then the same would happen. (Often I update from another machine via ssh which is why yum is my preferred update method) On the other hand on my F11 machine when the updates notification pops up, if I use yum to update the system then the icon remains and does not magically disappear from the taskbar until I log out and back in again - this is with the gnome desktop. Am I alone or do other users see this also? It is not a major problem but is a slight irritation! -- mike c -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines

Fantastic, you're a star :)
One last point how can I print all the associated deatils attached to
that uid i.e username, home dir etc and then cycle through for every
uid and print the same information for each respective uid? The uid's
need to be in order i.e something like
uid: 0, username: root etc...
uid 50, username: mysql etc...
Many many thanks

sure, I'll provide some tips.
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
-w is deprecated. use warnings; instead
use strict;
very good. always use strict;
my ( $login, $p, $uid, $gid, $gecos, $dir, $s );
my $k;
my $v;
my $key;
my $ip;
my $value;
my @sorted=();
my @uid=();
this is a common error for ex-C/Java programmers, however in Perl there's no
need to predefine variables. In fact, variables should be defined only in
their smallest possible scope. This happens naturally if you define them as
you use them.
my %HoH = ();
this is an ok name for learning, but in real scripts use a name that
describes the contents, rather than the structure.
my $file='/etc/passwd';
open( PASSWD, $file ) or die Can't open $file : $!;
new method is 3-argument open, with lexically scoped filehandle:
open( my $passwd, '', $file ) or die Can't open '$file': $!;
while( PASSWD ) {
this reads from the filehandle until eof, putting the results in $_. It is
convenient to use $_, but it is usually advisable to create a new lexically
scoped variable.
while( my $line = $passwd ) {
( $login, $p, $uid, $gid, $gecos, $dir, $s ) = split( ':' );
if these hadn't been pre-defined, this line would read as follows and would
keep $login, $p, etc scoped to this while block
my ($login,$p,$uid,$gid,$gecos,$dir,$s) = split ':', $line;
$HoH{ $login }{ 'login' } = $login;
$HoH{ $login }{ 'p' } = $p;
$HoH{ $login }{ 'uid' } = $uid;
$HoH{ $login }{ 'gid' } = $gid;
$HoH{ $login }{ 'gecos' } = $gecos;
$HoH{ $login }{ 'dir' } = $dir;
$HoH{ $login }{ 's' } = $s;
#print $login\n;
}
This structure works well if you wanted to look up the characteristics of a
given $login as hash access is great for lookups. but if you wanted to just
reorder all of them, maybe an array of hashes would be better? just a
thought.
close PASSWD;
#while (($k,$v) = each %HoH) {
# print While Loop: $k\n;
#}
#foreach $ip (keys %HoH) {
# print First For: $ip\n;
#while (($key, $value) = each %{ $HoH{$ip} } ) {
#print $key = $value \n;
#}
# print \n;
#}
#while ( ($k, $v) = each %HoH ) {
#print $k: \n;
#while ( ($key, $value) = each %$v ) {
#print $key=$value ;
#}
#print \n;
#}
#for $k ( sort keys %HoH ) {
#print $k: ;
#for $v ( sort keys %{ $HoH{$k} } ) {
# print $v=$HoH{$k}{$v} ;
#}
#print \n;
#}
#...@sorted = sort { $HoH{$a} cmp $HoH{$b} } keys %HoH;
#print @sorted\n;
#foreach my $sorted ( sort { $HoH{$a}-{uid} cmp $HoH{$b}-{uid} }
keys %HoH)
foreach my $sorted ( sort { $HoH-{$a}{uid} cmp $HoH-{$b}{uid} } keys
%HoH)
{
print STDOUT $HoH{$sorted}\n
}
as others have mentioned, to perform numeric comparisons use the spaceship
operator: =
now, note how many hash accesses your loop performs. each time the sort
wishes to compare two values, it must perform two nested hash lookups. As
your Perl improves, you will learn how to make this sort more efficient -
one common method is called the Schwartzian Transform. (No relation to
Spaceballs)
Thank in advance for any
help.http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
Hope my comments helped. Welcome to Perl.

Re: [OT] Deafening silence
I've finally given up on Evolution and moved back to Thunderbird. I really wanted Evolution to be a good mail and calendar client, but for the last 5 years or so it's always been *almost* there. It was calendaring and Palm sync that kept me on it for a long time, and the promise that proper Exchange connectivity was coming. Using an LDAP server consistently causes lockups. The whole UI freezes up for extended periods of time. God knows what they're doing, but apparently they never learned to separate blocking operations like network communication from the UI thread. It often ends up occupying 2.5G of resident memory which I can only assume is a memory leak since it grows over time. I've reported bugs over the years, and they seem to fall on deaf ears. When they do manage to fix something, invariably something else breaks. Now that I've moved to a Droid, I've switched over to Google's calendar and I'm not looking back. Wayne.

Yeah, I've tried Evolution 2 or 3 times over the last few years and always ended up being disappointed. For one thing it's DOG SLOW. It seems to want to index all the mail folders every time it starts and that can take MINUTES. and even when past that it's still like molasses climbing a hill in January in northern canada.

I really wanted Evolution to be a good mail and calendar client, but for the last 5 years or so it's always been *almost* there.

The whole UI freezes up for extended periods of time. God knows what they're doing, but apparently they never learned to separate blocking operations like network communication from the UI thread. It often ends up occupying 2.5G of resident memory which I can only assume is a memory leak since it grows over time. I've reported bugs over the years, and they seem to fall on deaf ears. When they do manage to fix something, invariably something else breaks. Now that I've moved to a Droid, I've switched over to Google's calendar and I'm not looking back. Just to chime in here - I had abandoned Evo too some years ago but I was recently trying various mail clients again to see how things have changed. I set up Evo in F12 to deal with my work mail (Imap) and although not particularly fast when first starting Evo it works ok - other things that are positive too are that it handles encrypted mail correctly (with GPG) without needing an extension like Thunderbird does. It also connects to gmail calendars with the caldav protocol just fine which is another feature I really wanted. I am using Thunderbird 3.1b2 nightly and there are issues with the enigmail extension but it also does have lightning to handle calendars, using caldav. It also handles html mail and although some people are very much against the use of html in email it does have its uses particularly in business areas. Fedora runs releases that are somewhat behind the nightlies but I do use Thunderbird - I guess there is no ideal mail client! -- mike c -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines

Please note here that I am not attempting to deny that any of the problems you are having are real. I am just providing another data point. Using an LDAP server consistently causes lockups. I use an LDAP server and I have never seen this happen. I have been using Evolution as my e-mail client since it became the default in Fedora (at least 4 or 5 releases ago I think). I do use the Palm sync capabilities; that seems to mostly work well as long as I only sync in one direction. As soon as I try syncing both ways, I end up with duplicated tasks, memos, and contacts that are a real pain to remove. I expect this happens in the lower level gpilot software rather than in Evolution itself, but I don't know that. I don't connect to any other calendar servers with Evolution, nor do I have any need to connect to Exchange, nor have I ever filed a bug against Evolution, so I cannot comment on those. I have not noticed Evolution trying to index everything on startup, but I have heard complaints about Thunderbird 3 doing this. I think Evolution has definitely gotten better since I started using it. I used to see it crash suddenly. I still have that happen but only once in a great while now. It used to have issues with it continuing to show me that there were messages in a folder when in fact it was empty. This too has been largely fixed in my experience.

You aren't going to achieve real security by hiding this or that attribute. If you don't want to worry about your users chosing bad non-random passwords, don't let them. Force them to use a 1k-2k RSA key for ssh and turn off all login types in sshd_config other than RSA2. That way any attacker has to correctly guess a 1k-bit computer generated number. That will almost certainly be much more secure than any password users will chose. Then you can look at the ssh log files and laugh. The universe isn't going to last long enough for them to guess even a small fraction of the keys.

So good that I have actually switched to evolution on all of my systems. For MAPI/exchange accounts it keeps getting better, but there are lots of issues.

I tend to think of rpmforge as necessary for running CentOS/RHEL servers and think of EPEL as more 'volatile' Sorry, I didn't actually say rpmforge is volatile. To clarify: EPEL requires that packages have consistent configuration and abi compatibility. This is a core requirement for inclusion into EPEL. Given that clamav is a constantly moving target, maybe EPEL isn't the best place for it. We do, however, have good packages for clamav from rpmforge. Obviously these packages are updated frequently, and don't have the configuration and abi compatibility required for EPEL. My comment regarding having a repo like debian volatile was to provide a repo for RHEL/CentOS users which contains packages which don't guarantee the required compatability. Which is basically what the clamav packages on rpmforge provide. Or we could let epel orphan clamav in EPEL6 and just use rpmforge...

32bit vs 64bit in the filesystem structures
Howdy, I'm trying to find out if there are any dependencies within the specific filesystem structures that are specific to 32bit and 64bit. As far as I know you can mount a filesystem created on an x86_64 system on a x86 machine without any problems but this could just be that I have not been bitten yet and I'd rather avoid that if possible.

Is there a good place to go to find the answer to this question? There should be no 32- vs. 64-bit dependencies in the implementation of the ext2 or ext3 filesystems. You should be fine. The most common problem in the past was the use of a 32-bit int instead of an off_t in the lseek() calls, which limited you to a 2GB file size, but that's an application issue. The ext2/ext3 filesystem limits are: Filesystem block size: 1kB2kB4kB8kB File size limit: 16GB 256GB 2048GB 2048GB Filesystem size limit: 2047GB 8192GB16384GB32768GB Note that the 8kB blocksize was only available on the DEC Alpha, so effectively the maximum filesystem size is 16TB. There is also a limit of 32K subdirectories in a given directory and there used to be an issue when the number of files grew above 10K inside a directory (big slowdown...fixed with hashed directory entries). With ext4, the 32K subdirectory limit is removed and it supports filesystems larger than 16TB. Not sure just how big, but BIG!
