Hey, I'm using OpenBSD 4.1-STABLE and I just today purchased a 250GiG Western Digital drive and a cheap USB 2.0 enclosure..

I'm trying to setup the partitions on the device using an old Pentium 2 with a USB 1.0 controller, (usb0 at uhci0.)

Anyway, the device ""does"" show up when I plug it in.. but when I attempt to save any MBR changes it displays an error..

umass0 at uhub0 port 1 configuration 1 interface 0
umass0: Super Top USB 2.0 IDE DEVICE, rev 2.00/2.01, addr 2
umass0...

It is three stickers on one sheet. The stickiest stickers we've ever
found.

One? I have big puffy, "OpenBSD" and "OpenSSH"
stickers.

I noticed on his videos he was always coughing. Must be a respiratory ailment.
May he rest in peace.

Background:

I'm running an web server with the Apache from the base install, php,
pureftp and postgresql database to serve multiple websites. Each
websites runs in its own instance of apache and one extra instance of
apache is doing reverse proxy via the domain name. In all 5 independent
apache instances are started. I've done this to separate the domains so
that php won't be able to access the data from another domain.

A simplified graphic representation:

Internet

The console terminal didn't respond either. I could use Ctrl-Alt-F2 to switch consoles but the console terminal wouldn't respond at all to key strokes. I didn't see any error messages on the console itself either. Faulty hardware or is it lack of RAM due to the multiple apache instances?

Is there a list similar to Linux kernel janitors also for OpenBSD? It's a list
of tasks for which you don't have to be experienced in the particular OS
internals to be able to complete them properly.

And why exactly are you spamming an "OpenBSD" related mailing list with this information?.....

Heinrich,

I've tried to do the same - see http://readlist.com/lists/openbsd.org/
misc/12/62613.html - as of 4.1 this is not supported by ipsec.conf(5).

Best wishes,
Damon

I installed hydra (4.1/i386) from the package list and tried:

hydra -l user -p password localhost ssh2 and I get an error -

Error: Compiled without LIBSSH support, module not available!

Does anyone know where I can get "LIBSSH" module support or how I can
enable this?

I installed Hydra from the ports tree as well but when I run the
above command it gives me the same error.

Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

You might want to take a look at rc.shutdown(8)

Hello,

I've been using snapshots quite a bit lately but am a little bit
confused regarding the snapshot packages vs the snapshots themselves. At
the time of writing there are i386 snapshots dated the 27th of October
while the snapshot packages for i386 are dated 22nd of October. -Do they
belong together or do these packages belong to the previous i386
snapshot? Is there any way to tell which snapshot-packages belong to
which snapshot-build?

Kind Regards,

Stefan

Stefan,

I'm just a user -- so I do not speak for the Project -- but to the best of my
knowledge and experience, the snapshot packages are merely for the convenience
of -current users. There is no guarantee of synchronicity, and you may or may
not be able to use snapshot packages, depending on the state of /usr/lib.

Hi,

My understanding is that you should keep userland and packages as in
sync as possible. I remember thinks starting to go wrong in the past
as the skew nears 2-3 weeks.

Good question though. I guess the packages are built separately to the
install sets.

I'm trying to convert a 22 node ~100 CPU cluster from Linux to
OpenBSD. The motivation is to increase reliability and security.
However, I have a peculiar problem with the bge driver. It seems that
bge doesn't detect properly the media type the hardware supports. The
nodes I'm trying to convert are on PenguinComputing BladeRunners with
AMD procs and broadcom NICs. When the bge driver loads, the link
lights turn off on the NICs, here is more info:

# dmesg | grep bg

No, don't do this. This would be like plugging a phone line and

You're describing something which is normally handled by speaking
BGP with your provider(s).

I think you get some T1/E1<>ethernet bridge-like devices (needing the
same box at both ends of the line), but you won't be able to use carp to

BGP may not be flexible enough to balance the incoming packets
between the lines in that case. e.g. in the case where the ISP with
the slower connection is a downstream customer of an ISP sourcing
a lot of traffic (localpref is more important than path length,
so it can be difficult or impossible to influence this).

But if the majority of traff...

Getting a /24 (or bigger) so that BGP is more than a theoretical
exercise, and convincing certain classes of ISPs that they wish to do
BGP, are the bigger hurdles. At least in the U.S.

I actually have one that works OK, a RAD STM-1 to FastEthernet

but in general, I totally agree with claudio here. they often cause
issues. and if it is only the missing link state forwarding (why can't
the box take down the ethernet link when the wan link fails, at least
as an option?). So your best bet is to terminate wans directly on
OpenBSD boxes. And then you still want ethernet where possible. And if
you spec Ethernet, you oft...

I set up a test network with bgpd/ospfd, a standard service provider design
where ospf carries the network links and loopbacks and bgp carries
everything,
bgp routers doing nexthop self, core full mesh and access routers rr-clients
of the two nearest core routers.

I'm seeing some pretty odd behaviour that I haven't seen before when only
using bgpd.

Are there any know issues with using this kind of design with bgpd/ospfd ?

Quick example:

View from an access router at another prefix on the ...

Will do.

So running a setup where ospfd and bgpd carries the same prefixes should
work ?
In the lab setup both ospf and bgp carry the loopback and links, and all
non-core
prefixes are in bgp only.

When I run bgp-only things work like a charm, except for a bit of funkiness
with
existing tcp-sessions to routers showing a bit of funky routing...

/Tony

That was the answer I was looking for =)

No worries, I will adapt the live design I'm implementing as I want it
working
well on 4.2. I can either make sure ospfd and bgpd and don't carry the same
prefixes, which is possibly in this particulare case, or I can go bgp-only.
I'm most likely going bgp-only, hot-potato routing is something I want.

If there is any testing I can do to assist please let me know,
otherwise I'll just continue to play with it. It is my form of mediation
to clear my mi...

I have an older Sony CD/DVD burner that is crapping in this manner.

Who put the 36 hour date in there? spamd or spamlogd?

spamlogd may have done that for you. look at your syslogs

I agree that sparc64 is currently the best alternative to the x86
architecture in i386 and amd64. For me, the biggest obstacles to
buying a sparc64 machine are:

* sparc64 machines the are significantly more expensive than their x86
counterparts.

* There is no binary emulator that would allow me to run proprietary
software like Mathematica on sparc64. (In contrast, I can run Mathematica
on i386 with the Linux binary emulator.)

NetBSD has a Solaris binary emulator for sparc64, so with...
