Should be the same as in 4.1. A tip though, use a different IP range
not in use on your LAN. I had issues with machines not knowing where
to route before I did that.

I personally would like to see a -current dmesg of this system... if you don't mind posting it here for us geeks to drool over :)

Well, OpenBSD 4.1, actually...

The old method results in nasty hard-to-diagnose problems for
TCP options used by some modern OS.

Think of it as a good opportunity to rewrite and clean your ruleset.

Hello misc,

I installed cyrus-sasl-2.1.22p1-mysql from packages and trying make it
working, but during testsaslauthd queries I not get any results :(.
I enabled log queries in mysql but there is no connection attempts
from saslauthd to needed table (no connection, no auth, nothing).

As described in documentation I created smtpd.conf and pit it to
needed dir.

Hi Daniel,

Did you happen to investigate why rsync -S is taking so much time? If it
doesn't deal with sparse file the way one expects, this option is probably
broken. Also have you already tried something like the advice in
http://lists.samba.org/archive/rsync/2003-August/007000.html ?

Anyway, I think the way to go is using tar. It preserves the sparseness
property of the files, so something like this could work: If you tar the
file without using compression, you would get a file the size of...

I have been pondering for some time getting a new core router, and a
recent question on HP Procurves vs Soekris boxes has kicked me into
thought. I have some more general questions:

I recall hearing tell (on here I think) that amd64 is a better arch for
routing, because of better interrupt handling or somesuch. Is this true?

I am under the impression that if I want to do BGP, I need 1GB of RAM
for the routing tables and whatnot. Given RAM is so cheap, and I'd like
some future-proofing, is there a...

Reading through the archives I have found several people say that
encrypting via an svnd device isn't much slower than writing directly to
a raw unencrypted disk. While I found this to be true for svnd devices
backed by files, svnd devices backed by whole disks and disk partitions
are extremely slow. I have tried tuning many parameters, namely the
fragment and block size and the cylinders per group in the disklabel
associated with the svnd, but nothing has improved the performance.

I am runni...

I tried that, but like I said fdisk complained when the svnd device is
associated with the raw direct access disk device. For example

# vnconfig -k svnd0 /dev/rwd1c

# fdisk -c 19457 -h 255 -s 63 -i svnd0 # disk CHS
fdisk: error initializing MBR: bad address

# fdisk -c 19456 -h 254 -s 63 -i svnd0 # OpenBSD partition CHS
fdisk: error initializing MBR: bad address

# fdisk -i svnd0
Warning CHS values out of bounds only saving LBA values
fdisk: error initializing MBR: bad address

I understand that the "c" partition is special. But when the entire disk
(i.e. wd0c) is just acting as a storage backend and the svnd device is
the front end, I don't think it matters. It's not like I'm going to be
running newfs or fsck on the actual disk. Anyway, I have tried on the
"a" partition too, but I get the same results.

Like I said, everything works fine if I use the buffered device,
wd0[ac], not rwd0[ac], but it is so slow. dd'ing to the unbuffered
device is much faster than dd'i...

Hi,

The multixterm program that comes with expect is useful for ssh'ing to
lots of machines and running the same commands on them all.

Unfortunately vi has stopped working for me in multixterm. Might be
something to do with the value of $TERM.

Hello,

I'm currently running current i386 on my amd64 processor.
I'm considering to move to the amd64 distribution but I noticed that the
win32-codecs package is only for i386.

Is there currently a win32-codecs alternative for amd64 or is it possible to
watch avi (+/- all codecs) movies on amd64?

Thank you very much!
Didier

mplayer plays every damn format out there. :)

It works quite well on OpenBSD though there are rough edges.

Try some advanced option of mencoder and boom...

Anyway I better shut up or send patches.

As to win32codecs working on amd64 if you can run them under a chroot
jail and try 32 bit emulation it might work.

Hey I am talking thro' my hat and you know what that means.

But I have played several video formats(avi, wmv...) without the closed
source win32codecs package.

I wonder why p...

IMO vlc has higher quality playback of most media, can do things
mplayer can't, has a nicer ui, etc, etc ...

try playing the movies with ffplay from the ffmpeg package. if
that can do something useful, then you don't need win32-codecs.

as far as media players, I prefer vlc or kaffeine.

Hello.
I'm trying to add vim package and I'm getting following error:

Can't install gettext-0.14.6p0: lib not found expat.8.0
Dependencies for gettext-0.14.6p0 resolve to: libiconv-1.9.2p3
Full dependency tree is libiconv-1.9.2p3
Can't install vim-7.1.33-no_x11: can't resolve gettext-0.14.6p0

I didn't find expat.8.0 on any server.
So, is this dependency ok?

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone could offer any solution to this OSPFD error
when it starts up:

"ospfd[11601]: send_packet: error sending packet on interface em0: No
route to host"

It says there is no route to host for every interface defined in ospfd.conf

This is using the default config on an OpenBSD 4.0 amd64 install.

(Note, ip forwarding and ip multicast forwarding are enabled)

Thanks,
Linden.

Check PF rules:

1. pass proto ospf

2. typically, martian filters include the multicast range,

Please upgrade. What you're trying should work, but there have
been many fixes/improvements to the routing daemons since 4.0,
and this is usually easier to do _before_ it's all running.

These are in the same subnet, this won't work. You might like

Wow, a nabble post with sufficient information to spot the
problem, that is somewhat unusual :-)

It was just an experiment. I was trying to do some funky routing through the
wireless interface. I'll play with it some more. Thanks to all for the tips!

Hi all,

I've been wondering how to deal with this particular issue for quite
some time now, and I can't find any references to "the right way"(TM)
to handle it.

I always prefer to run automated tasks as limited privilege users on
my OpenBSD hosts - such as tasks that pull files across from other
hosts, and other such nightly tasks. To make this work the drop priv
user account needs a shell and a home dir (for SSH keys etc), and has
no need for a password. However this causes the /etc/security ...

Dave,

In our backup environment the backup user needs a shell and home dir for
ssh keys as you described. The passwd is disabled and ssh keys are
required. We also limit access to the backup user to specific source ip
addresses like the backup server.

We also use ssh wrappers. Using the command argument in the ssh keys file
you can have a script check what command is being run. The backup user only
needs to accept rsync so that is what we are validating. If any other
command is run or if a shell...
