Hello misc@,

I have a question :

If I want the last packages/ports, I use a -current system, with
-current ports tree. Last updates of softwares are in -current. On the
other hand, they're developpement versions,

If I want a *very* stable system (in production for example), I use
-release or -stable system. On the other hand, packages and ports are
not updated even it's necessary (for example, the last mozilla-firefox
is in 2.0.0.6 in ports tree -release and 2.0.0.10 in -current port tree...

That may be what you do, but you are generally wrong if that is your goal.

The goal is that the BEST version of OpenBSD is -current.
This goal is usually met.

The people who usually experience trouble with -current often can't
run -release/-stable at all, so no big loss. IF there is a bug in
-current and you don't find it, it may very well exist in the next
-release. The sooner bugs are found, the happier everyone is.

*The name -stable refers to the API and functionality, not to the
robu...

Hi!

Recently i started project ``CDMA modem control utility''. Currently it
partially supports two C-motech modems (CCU-550, CCU-650U). These two modems
are popular here at Ukraine (people.net.ua).

The program can do the following:
- Change/set/enable/disable PIN code.
- Send/receive SMS
- Manage phonebook
- Set modem modes

The code is BSD licensed, so you can use and reuse it :)
For all who wants it: http://www.bsdua.org/cdma.html

Thanks!

Treat the tun interface as a "normal" one. I recently had the same
issue, and simply adapted TCP ACK priority to the interface, and found
that worked fine. I'm currently testing a smaller MTU to help with
fragmentation.

Could you explain this again?

I've been doing foolish interface setup for a while now. My own
"privacy VPN" I have running to a co-located box looks a bit like this:

[internet] <--> [external interface] <--> [tun0] <--> [openvpn] <-->

Don't mix endianess on filesystems. It won't work.

I got a test box at home I'm trying to setup sendmail in. I bought a
domain and host a website on that box. I get dynamic IP from my ISP
which gets updated via DynDNS for the website. I added the MX for my
domain with Google and it's been working fine (I can send receive
mail). But I want to setup sendmail & friends (clamav, mimedefang,
spamd etc.) to get familiar with them.

I understand that having a dynamic IP and not having a reverse DNS
working to mail.domain.com would put me in the block ...

Fluxbox is MIT licenced, it's dependencies are Imlib2, which is BSD licenced.. everything else is included in Xorg and is (AFAIK..) under a similar licence.

-Nix Fan. (Fvwm, IMHO is ugly..)

Can we please stop this discussion?

Nothing is going to change in base X. All the other things you guys are
so called "proposing" are in packages/ports. Use them; that's why they
are there for.

Base is fine, leave it alone.

Fluxbox is fugly, fvwm is awesome.

this discussion is very useful!

So I have spent some large portion of today puzzling over getting
php5 to work. This is on a i386-current system with packages
compiled from the ports tree as of 12/29.

Php5 installs just fine, and in fact running the test.php code in
a index.php file works if I go to server/account/index.php . I did
what the package said to do with regard linking the php5.conf
file. I also uncommented the AddType directive in httpd.conf and
restarted apache.

However I can't use imbedded php like

Longer explanation ...

This one has stung me a number of times - seems short tags are no
longer the
default in PHP 5 (something about playing better with XML.)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PHP

You can get short tags to work if you change your php.ini ...

See short_open_tag entry right near the top of this page:

http://nz.php.net/manual/en/ini.core.php

... but you are *really* better off getting in the habit of using
long tags - it is the way the (PHP) world is going.

Hi!

Thermite should do the work too. Hot enough to bring the material out of
the ferromagnetic temperature range, i.e. to lose its magnetization.

And nice special fx. *g*

Grinding leaves small pieces of still magnetized material where a
*very* determined (yeah, unlikely unless the data is worth *very*
much) attacker could try playing jigsaw puzzle.

Of course you could try combining a grinding and a demagnetizing
technique (for the latter I'm still partial with applying heat that
brings th...

Richard, you are too stupid to go and learn FACTS before you open
your big fat lying mouth.

I am sure the readers can judge for themselves whether I am stupid.
They will certainly see I am not perfect. I had learned the facts
about OpenSolaris, but that was months before. By the time I did
that interview my memory was incorrect.

In addition, I thought that OpenSolaris was just a kernel, but it
looks like the question had in mind a whole system. This
miscommunication has the effect of ...

To satisfy my own curiosity, looking at
www.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Free_X_window_managers which provides
links to 45 window managers for which there are wiki pages, I looked at
the licence for each and found that only xmonad, wmii, fluxbox, and
blackbox are licenced under BSD or MIT license.

Since I didn't look at the software itself, I don't know if any require
GPL libraries.

Just thought I'd FYI. I'm not making an argument either/any way.

I hate to waste developer and port maintainer time, so apologize in advance
for this long message. Anyways, if there is anything useful I can do to help,
please let me know.

I am puzzled about why I don't seem to have any problems with OpenLDAP

[...]

(1) Historically, upgrading existing OpenLDAP databases to new formats
has always been a PITA;

(2) The 2.4 branch is still unstable; historically, previous branches
haven't become (somewhat) usable until about minor version 20; and
guess what: the new branch is not exactly less complex than the
older ones;

(3) Historically, none of the new brances have been backward compatible;
many applications don't support 2.6 yet.

Can anyone help? I've had an offlist reply that makes it seem that
my tape commands are OK.

I'll take the tape drive out of this box and try it on another
machine / another OS, but was
hoping someone would recognise this tape drive (supplied by Dell with
the machine) or
give me some pointers as to what the underlying problem might be (is
it atapiscsi?)

Thanks.

Hi Matheus,

Saying "this kind of upgrade", you refer to the official upgrade
process, i presume?

The official upgrade process is completely trivial on any imaginable
kind of i386 Pentium II box, believe me. A Pentium II may seem old
to you, but for running a standard router, it is more than enough,
including the handling of the official upgrade process, of course.
The dmesg of my own three-leg (internal/dmz/Internet) statefully
filtering and NATing main router (saturating a 100 Mbit/s uplink,...

Or yaifo, which is essentially bsd.rd + sshd. Handy as hell if some form
of console is not available, especially if you need to do something like
reslice your disk.
