Bcrypt GUI fix

dogone reported:
Bcrypt advises that "password must have at least 9 characters" but does not accept fewer than 10. (The fix of incrementing the "must have" alert by 1 appears to have bumped the required character count by 1. IOW, the same problem + 1.). Also experienced in 417.

Fixed it, correctly this time I think.

Dogone also reported:
Zfind GUI stops responding when a search of root ("/") is executed and must be killed. Zfind remains running in the background with extreme CPU load. Searches above "/" appear to work. Also experienced in 417
Never do a file search from '/', whatever search tool you are using. There is all sorts of stuff that get searched through, like /dev /tmp /proc /sys and apart from taking ages I don't know there might be some strange side effects.
Pfind also should never offer '/' as the search path.

Dogone also reported this:
During installation of MC (Midnight Commander), PPM displayed "Examine Dependencies" button. Clicking it did nothing. MC installation was then completed with a missing dependency: "mc: error while loading shared libraries: libgpm.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory". Also experienced in 417.
Well, where did this package come from? If it is not an official package, and it doesn't have a database entry in it, then PPM has no way of knowing what its dependencies are.

file search


Pfind search-path
Username: zigbert
"What search-path do you find wise? I personally don't think /root/ would be a good choice. I can't store much in my 512mb pup_save, and I always learn new Puppy-users to store things outside the Pup_save Sigmund

"What about /mnt/home as the default? Except when it points to '/', then use /root -- that would be a full hd install situation. The problem with /mnt/home though, is it would be the top of an entire partition. Probably not such a good idea. If it defaults to /root, it can be changed anyway, to whatever the user wants. I'm just thinking that the default should not be somewhere that is going to bog the search tool down for a long time and the user wonders what is going on. Personally, I open a terminal from rox, in whatever directory I want to search, then start zfind and it defaults to that directory. Perhaps with Pfind, you could get it to default to /root, but then Pfind will remember whatever the user has changed it to and use that automatically next time (if it's mounted of course, otherwise fall back to /root).

"Thanks for sorting through this stuff, Barry. 422 PPM's "find" command locates "mc-4.6.1" in the "puppy-4" repro. At least it does after performing an "update". No matter the wisdom of searching from "/", Pfind and other search utilities can do it. Zfind cannot. The inability thus appears a shortcoming. In any case, Zfind ought not to accept a search parameter that results in loss of control and a very nasty rogue process. Puppy can do better.

mc dependency
Username: BarryK
"MC is in the puppy3 repo. Looking in /root/.packages/Packages-puppy-3-official: [i]mc-4.6.1|mc|4.6.1||Filesystem|2267K|pet_packages-3|mc-4.6.1.pet|+gpm|midnight commander console file manager|[/i] Shows that 'gpm' package is a dependency. However there is no entry for gpm in Packages-puppy-3-official, although gpm-1.20.1-1.pet is on ibiblio. Ok, I have added an entry for gpm into Packages-puppy-3-official. That will be fixed in 4.3beta1. You can fix the problem right now by downloading and installing gpm-1.20.1-1.pet from pet_packages-3 directory at ibiblio.

default search-path in Pfind
Username: zigbert
"Barry The search-path issue has been raised now and then, and opinions differ. I see all points, but I don't see a clear solution. What we really need is information to the user and a progress bar. At the moment I'm not clever enough to show the progress of 'find'. The default search-path(s) are defined in /root/.pfilesearch/pfilesearchrc. Please change it to whatever you find most logical.

search-path in Pfind
Username: disciple
"> No matter the wisdom of searching from "/", Pfind and other search utilities can do it. Zfind cannot. It is painful in pfind though - that's why I suggested the ability to exclude multiple directories. > What about /mnt/home as the default? IMO that might be all right. I don't think $HOME makes sense until Puppy is multi-user. But I think / is the best... just need to exclude all those pesky locations... and probably /mnt/network too. But if the default location isn't /, surely a search-path field should be added to the "simple" pfind gui?

Faster Pfind
Username: zigbert
"I have uploaded a new Pfilesearch (1.17). I have excluded /initrd by default which gives me a much faster search on my frugal system. I have still defined / as the default search-path. Sigmund

re faster pfind
Username: BarryK
"Zigbert, I typically have 3 or 4 partitions mounted in /mnt -- if the default search is from /, will all those mounted partitions get searched too? If so, it will take ages.

re faster pfind
Username: zigbert
"Barry Yes, /mnt will be included in the search. I store 'all' my stuff in /mnt/sda6, so unlike you, I most often want to search in my /mnt directory. I don't have such a huge file collection as you, but still rather big. Look at this: [code]# ls -R / | wc -l 318577 # ls -R /initrd | wc -l 218181 # ls -R /mnt | wc -l 41543[/code] What I experienced was this: [code]# time find -P "/" -path '/initrd' -prune -o -iname "*tnt - 10*" /root/tnt/TNT - 10.000 lovers (in one).mp3 real 0m1.032s user 0m0.400s sys 0m0.496s # time find -P "/" -iname "*tnt - 10*" /root/tnt/TNT - 10.000 lovers (in one).mp3 /initrd/pup_rw/root/tnt/TNT - 10.000 lovers (in one).mp3 real 0m2.640s user 0m1.100s sys 0m1.008s[/code] It would be better if we could exclude /dev and /proc too, but I can't find a solution to exclude more than 1 item in the 'find' command. On the other hand, /dev and /proc didn't affect the exec time that much. Sigmund
