There are any number or reasons why "it" is not working.
Frankly, and no offense here, I'm no longer sure I understand just
what you're trying to get working. You told us at the beginning you
wanted an internal machine to communicate to the outside world (by
which I presumed you meant the Internet).

that doesn't appear to be what you're doing.

I've already pointed out that your OpenBSD box's two NICs both have
private IPs (192.168.0.111 and 10.0.0.0; cf.

Hi,

I just download the last snapshots available on ftp.openbsd.org.
<note> Because my new and shiny CDs not arrive yet to Costa Rica and i
can't wait to install 4.2 </note>. I was reading the faq on the OpenBSD web:

"-Current is where active development work is done, and eventually, it
will turn into the next -release of OpenBSD. Every six months, when a
new version of OpenBSD is released, -current is tagged, and becomes
-release: a frozen point in the history of the source t...

that would be "downgrade", not upgrade. That's not supported.

I'm afraid it's a bit too late. If you install a snapshot now, you
will be installing 4.2-current, which has moved some increments in the
direction of what will become 4.3. If you want 4.2, you will need to
wait for either your disks to arrive or the release date, whichever
happens first.

"Remember to set the evil bit on all malicious network traffic"...

Just back from my (hiking) trip, I am happy to announce the 4.2
song has been added to the lyrics page at

http://www.openbsd.org/lyrics.html

Yes, it is designed to sound like a mid-era Rush song, ie. something
from Grace Under Pressure or such. And there's a few easter eggs
hidden in the song as well. It also explains the inside sleeve

I have a Macbook 2,1 that I run OpenBSD exclusively on. No Boot camp
or anything special. Just OpenBSD as it is.
There are a few things you need to know before you install. You will
need acpi and you will need an external USB-keyboard during
installization.
I use AMD64 and GENERIC.MP.

I did some googling about TPM in macbook and newer Apple hardware and
it seems like there isn't one.

Boot camp is both a tool to handle dual boot of operating systems but

Ok then it has started to get better because in the beginning I
couldn't even get to the install prompt because it hang on some usb
controller. ACPI is needed to get some of the drivers to work

Well the new Intel Core 2 Duo are Intels version of AMD64 and there
fore the closest thing you should use. You could use i386 also and

I have no need for such a thing, but given what

Is it possible to specify the kernel that the hardware for which there are
drivers probing for but I don't have in my PC is absent? Since OBSD has no
suspend to disk/RAM, the bootup speed is critical when working with a laptop
in public transport.

Or are there any other possible ways how to speed up the bootup process?

Ideally, you should plug in all USB gadgets you ever plan to use with
the laptop before running dmassage. If you can't do that, then you
should specifically re-enable them. Be sure to enable things like the
SCSI subsystem if you plan to use a USB mass storage device (pen drive,
external hard drive, CD-/DVD-ROM, floppy drive). I made the mistake of
leaving this out once after compiling a custom kernel, then weeks later
plugged in a pen drive and wondered why I wasn't able to mount the damn
thing. (N...

You can use config(8) to disable drivers without building a new
kernel, but you really have to know what you're doing. There's a
tool called dmassage in the ports tree (sysutils/dmassage) which
can help determining unused devices by looking at dmesgs's output.

My experience (I tried it once on a Soekris Net4801) is that doing
this kind of tuning won't gain you much speed at but time but is a
real PITA if you want to plug some new device and have to re-enable
it first to use it.

has anyone tried to use it? :-)

but this here is an Xbox 360 controller)

I've used Microsoft's Play and Charge cable to connect it to my -current PC:
http://www.amazon.de/Xbox-360-Play-Charge-Bundle/dp/B000AYS8FK/ref=pd_bb...

It is a cable for charging the wireless controller's battery via USB.
You can stick it into the Xbox 360 or into a PC.

I'm just trying to encrypt my laptops /home partition to hide my
personal info if the worst happens and my lappy is stolen.

I'm wondering what would be the best method to encrypt the hard drive? I
saw some discussion on the mailing list recently and somebody pointed
out that I could encrypt whole partition.

I'm currently creating a image within a partition which I intend to
encrypt then as instructed for example here:
http://www.blackant.net/other/docs/howto-encrypted-home.php

Which would...

Why is that important? AKA "it's my laptop, and I will explicitly
choose to disclose it's contents." (says the guy who left his laptop

except for when you forget to encrypt something, or when a process
unexpectedly leaves plaintext laying about (editor temp files, core
dumps, i-meant-to-download-that-someplace-else, ...), or when you
forget your laptop in an airport or a taxi or leave the door to your

Worthy trade-off.

GDB has a 'break' feature; why doesn't it have 'fix' too?

using the -K switch for vnconfig is good if you're worried about offline

the performance hit is pretty unnoticeable unless you're doing lots of
reads and writes, e.g. a fileserver. on a decently fast machine you can
get 20-30 MBps read and write speed on an encrypted image which is

Hm? I don't understand what you don't understand.
There's no such thing as a half-encrypted svnd (=partition). If you
can mount an encrypted svnd then you have a totally encrypted drive.
If you put it in fstab even better, but you need to somehow get it to
ask you for a password (-k) or give it a saltfile (-K) from somewhere
when it does that (and you better not store that password on the same
laptop).

Hello all,

I am having some trouble with a routing situation that is difficult for
me to explain, so if you need more info let me know.

vendor -->vendor router<-- Internal LAN Location A -->OBSD GW A<-- Internet
VPN Between
Internet -->OBSD GW B<-- Internal LAN Location B

From the above I will try and describe the situation. A vendor has a
private T1 that terminates through NAT to the customers Internal LAN at
location A, the IP addresses that this vendor is using ...

this will not work. ipsec will not encap packets that not belong to a
flow.

you need a second ipsec flow like on GW B:
ike esp from LAN_B/24 to vendor/18 peer OPENBSD_A_External
and on GW A:
ike esp from VENDOR/18 to LAN_B/24 peer OPENBSD_B_External
and then a route on GW A to the vendor network.

i think this will do the trick.

Yes, pf.conf(5) explains this, it's towards the end of the QUEUEING
section.

Yes, a 486 is still plenty of system for use as a router, assuming the
right networking hardware is available for it. Heck, I miss my old
Pentium 100 I was using as a router (well, sort of).
