Hi Theo,

My name is David Mack, and I am a recruiter for the Google.com engineering
team, a dynamic, challenging and fun group, which is responsible for our
Google website, from start to finish.

While doing a search for a specific skill set, I found your contact
information on-line and I wanted to contact you to see if you may be
interested in learning more about opportunities with us. You seem like you
might be a great fit here at Google.

We have a number of exciting projects going on throug...

OMG a Google employee was dumb enough to spam an entire mailing list
to get to one person. WOW, I thought they hired really smart people.

> Be gentle with them, they read your mail.

I'm sorry, It was a cheap shot... maybe I should apply to Google...
maybe stupidity is in... If it is then I am sure to get a job offer...

I don't fully understand your email, because some of your sentences
aren't really gramatically correct, and some of them don't seem to me
to be "technologically correct" (ie. the technology questions in them
don't seem to make sense to me). From reading this thread, I suspect
others are having similar problems. Let me look at what you wrote:

Let me stop you there. Normally, you would EITHER use your OpenBSD box
to do NAT, OR you would set your OpenBSD box up as a bridge. Let's
take a step back an...

Find a way to reproduce it with some regularity?

Hi!

People who had problems with unsupported Atheros devices (single chip
variants found in recent laptops, macbooks, etc.) should get the
latest code from CVS and test it... I was able to make 11b mode work
on at least two different new-age chipsets:

ath0 at pci2 dev 0 function 0 "Atheros AR5212 (IBM MiniPCI)" rev 0x01: apic 1 int 17 (irq 11)
ath0: ARxxxx 10.3 phy 6.1 rf 10.2, WOR2W, address 00:16:cf:ab:4c:97
ath1 at cardbus0 dev 0 function 0 "Atheros Communications, Inc., AR5001-0000-0000, Wire...

Sounds like a good idea. In the future, I will configure them in fixed
mode, it won't hurt.

Even though it may have something to do with the autoselect mode,
the whole story still has a bad smell =) I mean, the problem persisted
even though I several times disconnected the cable, changed the cable,
hooked the Soekris to a Dell 5324 Switch (to a port in autoselect mode)
and nevertheless the interface did not get out of the stalled state
until I did the ifconfig down/up sequence.

Hi,

Today something strange happened on one of my Soekris 5501 boxes,
it runs OpenBSD 4.1-stable. The box is connected with a cross-over cable
to another machine via the vr1 interface (the box has 4 vr interfaces).

Problem: After having rebooted the machine at the other end of the cable
multiple times, the Soekris box suddenly stopped receiving packets on
the vr1 interface.

After playing around with ping and tcpdump on both sides I found out
that the vr1 interface allowed me to send packets...

This was also the first thing that came into my mind, however, I don't
think it is related. VR_STICKHW is only written erroneously during
attach, and since my machine runs now for several weeks without any
problem, I doubt that the observed stall has something to do with this.

Opinions by the vr maintainers? Anything I can do to debug the problem
when it occurs next time?

for the record, i have a via rhine2 and i never had trouble. (if they are not
related i'm
sorry to bother you, but it might help debugging)

vr0 at pci0 dev 18 function 0 "VIA RhineII-2" rev 0x51: irq 10, address
00:40:63:c9:5c:05
this is the one on the via c3 533Mhz board.

Hello all,

I have a few OpenBSD servers faithfully running NAT in various spots.

One of these firewalls is doing VERY simple NAT on an interface,
almost a cut and past from the PF pages (only really the IP addresses
got changed).

However, the client wants to be able to connect to an FTP server that
is using TLS.

My first thought of this was "you can't". however, I was quickly
disabused of this idea by connecting to their server using the program
they use (FileZilla) within a Windows XP ins...

Sent it to ports but got no response :-(
Did I do something really stupid?
Just wondering if anybody here can throw any light on this issue.

Hi!
I wrote a little utility and want to share it with you. It allows to
redirect incoming connections to remote (and also local) host. For
example, it listens for incoming TCP connections, accepts them and
creates connection with remote host.

But it works not only with TCP. One can easily redirect the following:
- TCP
- UDP
- UNIX socket (SOCK_STREAM)
- UNIX socket (SOCK_DGRAM)
- serial port (actually, tty device).

And it doesn't matter what into what you redirect :)

For example, you...

I have a problem with the way this is stated. It's not the focus of
OpenBSD that's causing the problem here. It's the lack of vendors giving
you, the customer, the option to use the hardware with your choice of
software (including OS). You can't buy hardware from a company that
restricts your use, and then blame the makers of software for not
providing full functionality. It's completely backward.

Or, if you want an explanation to go along with the answer, this message
can also be caused by the *server* running out of disk space.

I have also felt before that that FAQ item could be expanded, so I
wrote an expanded answer and submitted a diff.

However, my answer was not posted online, so either people didn't like
my expanded answer, or my email got lost in the shuffle (or maybe I
made some newbie mistake with diff(1)).

In case people are still interested, here is what I submitted:

There are other uses. Like the silly 3D accelerated window managers (as
a cwm user it's obvious I see no need for that). There's also other
uses. For example last year for my final year university project I wrote
a visualisation app. using vtk[1], I wrote it on OpenBSD. Of course I'd
have liked acceleration then, it would have run faster (software GL
isn't very fast).

Then again I'm currently attempting to port the DRM (direct rendering
manager) to OpenBSD, so I'm not whinging about it.

and that is the right attitude. sit down and send code to change what
you didn't like. instead of sending questionable faq additions.

(now, sending faq additions in general is not a bad idea either, just
this one was)

SCHNEIER FACT #189:
If Bruce Schneier wants your plaintext, he'll just squeeze it out of
the ciphertext using his barehands

It's probably totally unrelated, but I once managed to freeze an
OpenBSD box after attempting to make it automagically back up stuff to
a Windows Server 2003 box. In my case, I had installed sharity-light
(a package allowing you to access CIFS/SMB shares) and I had tried to
tell it to mount the CIFS/SMB share at some mountpoint -- this is when
it froze. It turned out that pf (which I had running on the OpenBSD
box) blocked some port that was needed for proper communication
between sharity-light and...

How idle is idling? Have you any processes which can explode in
RAM usage or massive forks? I saw once a system run out of mem,
with no swap space exhibiting the same beviour. I could imagine
(disclaimer: _didn't_ see that one) a system behave similiar after
not being aber to fork anymore.

Huh? If you understand NAT very well, then how is that unfortunate?
I'm not trying to be a prick here; I honestly have trouble

Is this what you are trying to say?:
"It's true that it would not seem to make sense to do Network Address
Translation between machines that are on the same physical network
segment, but this is what I want."

I'll give you an example of what I understood. Please tell me if this
