README.openbsd - Perl version 5 on OpenBSD systems
DESCRIPTION
This document describes various features of OpenBSD that will affect how Perl version 5 (hereafter just Perl) is compiled and/or runs.
OpenBSD core dumps from getprotobyname_r and getservbyname_r with ithreads
When Perl is configured to use ithreads, it will use re-entrant library calls in preference to non-re-entrant versions. There is an
incompatability in OpenBSD's "getprotobyname_r" and "getservbyname_r" function in versions 3.7 and later that will cause a SEGV when called
without doing a "bzero" on their return structs prior to calling these functions. Current Perl's should handle this problem correctly.
Older threaded Perls (5.8.6 or earlier) will run into this problem. If you want to run a threaded Perl on OpenBSD 3.7 or higher, you will
need to upgrade to at least Perl 5.8.7.

perlfreebsd - Perl version 5 on FreeBSD systems
DESCRIPTION
This document describes various features of FreeBSD that will affect how Perl version 5 (hereafter just Perl) is compiled and/or runs.
FreeBSD core dumps from readdir_r with ithreads
When perl is configured to use ithreads, it will use re-entrant library calls in preference to non-re-entrant versions. There is a bug in
FreeBSD's "readdir_r" function in versions 4.5 and earlier that can cause a SEGV when reading large directories. A patch for FreeBSD libc
is available (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=misc/30631 ) which has been integrated into FreeBSD 4.6.
$^X doesn't always contain a full path in FreeBSD
perl sets $^X where possible to a full path by asking the operating system. On FreeBSD the full path of the perl interpreter is found by
using "sysctl" with "KERN_PROC_PATHNAME" if that is supported, else by reading the symlink /proc/curproc/file. FreeBSD 7 and earlier has a
bug where either approach sometimes returns an incorrect value (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=35703 ). In these cases
perl will fall back to the old behaviour of using C's argv[0] value for $^X.

Hi all,
I want to create a new user and grant him ONLY transfer files access to a specific directory where he can only upload and read the files. He should be restricted to this activity only.

What is the point of this? Whenever I close my shell it appends to the history file without adding this. I have never seen it overwrite my history file.

Hello for all,
I am testing the behavior of a 32 bit application running on Solaris 5.10 (SPARC), and realize it reaches 4GB of memory and then crashes.
It doesn't matter the amount of used memory as application is intended to perform many transactions; rather, what I want to achieve is to... (2 Replies)
