New subject: [Serusers] SER on FreeBSD Question

3 Apr 2003


      Hi,
we are suffering the same problem. The serctl script was originally written
for Linux and is a little incompatible with other systems. Even if you
change the shell from sh to bash there are still some utilities like "tail"
which has a diffirent syntax than from Linux.
I am porting this script to solaris for our systems where no bash is
available. If this is also useful for you I can send you later.
Regards
Yang

Hello:
I'm just getting started with my implementation of
SER on FreeBSD 4.7-RELEASE. I've read the
documentation, installed Apache and mySQL and
would like to add users for my domain.
I've tried adding an administrative user using serctl
however this script fails for reason I cannot explain.
Here is what I did:
serctl add user1 password1 email1@mydomain.com
  read: Illegal option -s
read: Illegal option -s
...
Try changing the first line of the script form #!/bin/sh to #!/bin/bash
(the read in sh does not support the -s option).
BTW: this is fixed on CVS for the new version (but don't try the CVS
code until next week, we're commiting a lot of changes right now).
