Suspend-to-whatever is not something you should spend too much time
worrying about. It's likely not going to work. Causes:
Buggy BIOS.
Poor design of APM/ACPI.
Poor implementation of the aforementioned.
Other misc reasons.

I've pretty much never seen it work on any OS, anywhere. And IMHO,
it's hopeless, if not a pain in the ass, to get vendor specific
specs for every machine out there, test all of them, etc.

Clarification.
From ifconfig(8):
bssid bssid
Set the desired BSSID for IEEE 802.11-based wireless network interfaces.
and:
nwid id
Configure network ID for IEEE 802.11-based wireless network interfaces.
The id can either be any text string up to 32 characters in length, or a
series of hexadecimal digits up to 64 digits. The empty string allows the
interface to connect to any available access points. Note that network ID
is synonymous with Extended Service Set ID (ESSID).

The nwid is the user...

Ignore the messages. They mean nothing. Our BIND, when running,
does not use that stupid mechanism for entropy.

Hiya.

I connect to the internet via a wireless LAN.
I prefer to use dhcp and let the server assign an ip, etcetera.
This is simple to do with OpenBSD.
echo dhcp > hostname.device

The problem is the other networks in the area.
When I boot, my wireless finds the first available (so it seems) access
point available that will cough up anything and attach itself.

Other than communicating with other WLAN operators and asking them to set
MAC access control (if I can find out who they are) an opti...

Cheers.

That looks exactly correct. ifconfig(8).
Specifically "IEEE 802.11 (WIRELESS DEVICES)".
Quote:
bssid bssid
Set the desired BSSID for IEEE 802.11-based wireless network interfaces.

Presumably as you say I can change my hostname.if from 'dhcp' to 'dhcp SSID'.
I will find out.

Best wishes,

I think I sent out my thanks before....but what the hell, thanks again for
another kick ass release.

No there is no plan to do that in BGPD. Multipath support in BGP4 is
cumbersome and fragile. Only very few routes would end up as being
considered as an equal cost path. So it is not worth the effort.

Hi gang.

Is there any priority for having OpenBSD support UTF8?

I saw that post before resorting to the list but as it was 3.5 years
ago I thought its info had a good chance of being outdated.

The same way you disable just about every driver out there

At the boot prompt type ...

you can't

try
- enable acpi, disable apm

Hello,Frans !

What hp model do you have ?
A lot of their models - models from nxXXXX line is a good example,
have broken acpi tables in BIOS, it means you won't be able to get acpi working.

To clarify, the md5sum on the files you downloaded from two different
servers were identical with each other (eliminating download problem)
but different from what is stated in the MD5 file.

If this is not true and each download produced a different MD5, try
using rsync to an rsync server to fix the iso file you downloaded.

03dc43a1d18d3003843a1f13b3861917 is correct. The MD5 file has been
updated but will take some time to propagate to the mirrors.

Could you specify exactly which server you have the bad iso from?

If you re-download the iso from the same server, is the md5 still bad?

It goes w/o saying that one shouldn't burn isos where the md5 already
red flags the file.

I feel your pain. Others have dissed on you for not having compile tools
on your hosts and assume you're doing it for security reasons. I don't
know your reason, but I only have compile tools on my build system. I
create binary patches (see script below) and distribute across the
network. Who the hell wants 20 (# of servers in my network) builds
cranking on all your machines in the network? What a nightmare. What if
they all fail? Worse yet, what if one fails? Someone is going to say,
"scrip...

And by making security updates more difficult, you think you have
improved security, right?

As you have demonstrated, you have not. If an attacker can use your
system's compile tools, they can also install the compile tools. But
it DOES take you longer to do all you can to keep them out in the first

yes, just make a release, and install that.

Or, install the compilation tools where you need them and be done with
it.

1. Official CDs?

2. Can you read/copy the CD on *any* machines / *any* OS?

3. Specifically - if you FTP install OpenBSD , can you then mount /
copy / do anything with the CD?

4. dmesg(s)

Personal experience ...

I have installed 3.8 to 4.2 from CDs on machines from P3 500 to
Pentium D 2.something via Celeron 900Mhz (Dells, HPs, Compaqs,
desktops and laptops) - only real issue was a bogus 4.1 CD than no
machine would touch....

Picked up a USB to serial converter on the way home from the office.
Here's a complete installation attempt using the 4.2 i386 CD:

Simple way: upgrade every six months, and follow the -stable branch.

Complex way: Follow -current, upgrade your machines almost constantly.

If you have anything approaching "production", run -stable. Downgrading
is difficult, and sooner or later you'll hit something that makes your
life difficult, like changing a major feature (ipf -> pf) or upgrading

You can do an "unpack the install files over the running OS" upgrade,
that's detailed in the upgrade guide in the FAQ. Better yet, you ...
