#470230 Read user input with bash?

I've seen some installation scripts and other such scripts ask for user input (IE: Do you wish to continue? ) but I can't find an example when I now need it. How can I read user input to a variable in bash?
'Do you wish to continue?'
A yes would continue, no would exit. Anyone?

#468720 How to protect against brute force?

No. If you run a public webserver you should also use login detection software. The software will allow you to specify when to ban someone based on how many times they attempted to login. For example, if you set it at 5 and I tried (and failed) 5 times to login as root then the software would ban me.
There are two that I know of BFD (Brute Force Detection) and LFD (Logon Failure Daemon). Both work well.

Excellent read! What about BSD and UNIX operating systems? I'd also like to add a few points.
Windows
1) Vista can support more than 3gb of memory. I think XP had that limitation.
2) Default settings for XP and Vista remove even the BSOD (blue screen of death) and just reboot so you have no idea wtf just happened! LOL
Mac
I like the way you stated it was all stolen from Linux. Actually, it was stolen by BSD (FreeBSD I think) and then stolen by Mac. So they stole from the thief. I hate the fact that you have to have their PC to legally run it. Hacked editions don't work so well. Why is graphics so great on a Mac? Photoshop in MAC is horrible. I've seen better graphics development come from Windows than Mac.
Linux
I don't see it crash like Windows or Mac. More like services stop running. The X Windows system will sometimes hang but this is not an OS error. The lack of bug free commercial applications is the kill for this OS, IMO.

I'm trying to install rtorrent but I get Failed Dependencies error.
I tried searching for libsigc but can't find it. How do I know what RPM package it is in? Where can I find an RPM for el5?
libsigc-2.0.so.0 is needed by rtorrent-0.8.0-1.el5.rf.i386 libtorrent.so.11 is needed by rtorrent-0.8.0-1.el5.rf.i386

10,000 posts is a good goal. It seems like a slow forum though so it could be years before it is reached

I like easy to follow tutorials. Tutorials that bold/highlight the category headings. Steps are good like 1st do this, 2nd do that, etc.

Nice tutorial, is this not default on Debian installations?
