1. windows
- 1.1. why is uid (owner) empty?
- I use the standard perl module Win32::Filesecurity, which
gives access to ntfs acl, but not the owner.
I find another perl module for that : Win32::Perms, but
it is not commonly installed
- 1.2. Why is afick so slow ?
- I had some a test on 2 operating systems (linux and windows XP) on the same host,
on the same number of files, and it is much slowier on windows ( x5 ).
I do not know if it comes from perl interpreter or from windows it-self (ntfs).
- 1.3. Error handling error: 123, GetFileSecurity ...
- The problem come from files without acl !.
it is fixed in 2.1 release.
- 1.4. sdbm store returned -1, errno 22
- This warning is emitted when you try to store a key or a value that is
too long.
There are a number of limits on the size of the data that you can store
in the SDBM file. The most important is that the length of a key, plus
the length of its associated value, may not exceed 1008 bytes.
The only way is too change the database backend. I'm working on this problem.
2. installation
- 2.1. can I install afick on my computer ?
- afick just use perl, so can work on any unix* computer, and even on windows.
it does not need any compilation.
- 2.2. Makefile does not work on AIX
- AIX only use 'short' command options, and 'install' program has not
the same options as gnu program.
fixed in 2.4.0
- 2.3. can afick be compiled ?
- I had some try with perlcc (provided by perl-devel package), but perlcc exit with a core dump ...
I then try pp (from PAR module, look at http://search.cpan.org/dist/PAR), and it seems to work
3. webmin
- 3.1. Can't locate CGI.pm in ...
- The CGI.pm perl module is not used (it is in afick-lib.pl from a a bad copy and paste).
You can comment the "use CGI qw(:standard param);" line in /usr/libexec/webmin/afick/afick-lib.pl file.
it is fixed in 1.4 release
4. report
- 4.1. Why the date/time in cron.daily is GTM and not in local timezone?
- because I was using only GMT at work ...
I changes it to localtime in 2.4.0 release
