Hi,

i don't know if it known bug or even treated as bug but on FreeBSD if i do:
./configure and I don't use  ie. --with-owner=pound --with-group=pound
and then make install i've got:
# make install
/usr/bin/install -c -d /usr/local/sbin
/usr/bin/install -c -o  -g  -m 555 pound /usr/local/sbin/pound
install: -g: Invalid argument

when using ie. --with-owner=pound --with-group=pound
then got:

# make install
/usr/bin/install -c -d /usr/local/sbin
/usr/bin/install -c -o pound -g pound -m 555 pound /usr/local/sbin/pound
install: pound: Invalid argument

so first i must add user and group pound and then do make install.
And i think that it should be mentioned in README file in INSTALLATION section.

What do you think?

Regards,
p.

No, this behaviour is on all my freebsds. egrep is a standard in base
installation and it works well. :-)

Yes, i know that there is port for FreeBSD. that's not a problem, i
know what to do to install Pound on BSD system. ;-)
I'm just think about including info in README that someone new to BSD
systems will install it without any problem, of course if he/she will
read documentation...

Perhaps you could have a look at the configuration script and see what's
wrong with it? The relevant section looks like this:

if test "x${I_OWNER}" == "x"
then
    egrep -s '^root' /etc/passwd > /dev/null && I_OWNER=root
    egrep -s '^sys' /etc/passwd > /dev/null && I_OWNER=sys
    egrep -s '^bin' /etc/passwd > /dev/null && I_OWNER=bin
    egrep -s '^daemon' /etc/passwd > /dev/null && I_OWNER=daemon
    egrep -s '^www' /etc/passwd > /dev/null && I_OWNER=www
    egrep -s '^proxy' /etc/passwd > /dev/null && I_OWNER=proxy
fi

and similar for I_GRP.[...]

FreeBSD's test command doesn't like the "==" operator.
The patch below fixes the problem.

Another issue that affects pound on FreeBSD is
setting up the "RootJail" directory.  You must
mount a devfs instance in that directory,
so that the openssl code has access to /dev/*random.
In short, you want to define a start_precmd in pound.sh
that runs "devfs_mount_jail $RootJail/dev".

I've emailed an updated pound.sh.in to
the port maintainer.

Aha this seems to be linuxisum ;)
In linux "sh" does not exist but it is replaced by bash.
In FreeBSD "sh" is "sh" and when you force #!/bin/sh
it will not work because this is not a shell script, but bash script.

The right syntax should be:

if [ -z  ${I_OWNER} ]
then
    egrep -s '^root' /etc/passwd > /dev/null && I_OWNER=root
    egrep -s '^sys' /etc/passwd > /dev/null && I_OWNER=sys
    egrep -s '^bin' /etc/passwd > /dev/null && I_OWNER=bin
    egrep -s '^daemon' /etc/passwd > /dev/null && I_OWNER=daemon
    egrep -s '^www' /etc/passwd > /dev/null && I_OWNER=www
    egrep -s '^proxy' /etc/passwd > /dev/null && I_OWNER=proxy
fi


Well at least this work on sh, bash and zsh without difference ;)[...]
