Yes, I first started by setting up the raid and installing openBSD on
top of it. All was fine until one of the disks failed. Then, I replaced
the failed disk, and try to re-initiate the raid (mirroring) where I got
stuck since the raid controller did not like the partitioning.

However, I advanced one step further now: If you use fdisk to assign a
different id to the openBSD partition (like 83 as suggested by Sun for
the Linux installs), raid controller seems to start mirroring your disk
to the seco...

I *think* you should probably set the new disk as a hotspare.
But who knows what this crazy firmware is doing.

A timely reminder of the requirement to test what happens when things

Note that there are many different devices known as "LSI raid".
At least: mpi(4) (formerly mpt), ami(4), mfi(4).

Hi all,

Perhaps a bit daft but:
Somehow I have managed to exclude my swap partition from being mounted
on my Raid0 array.
I have no idea why it isn't in fstab but I can only assume I messed
something up along the way while copying.

The swap partition is present as a slice within the virtual raid0 disk.
Can I safely mount this on a live system or is that a bad idea?

Thanks!

Hi,

I have GW1 and GW2 redundant firewalls (isakmpd+pf+carp+sasyncd)

Is there a way to see which security associations are marked as "replaced" on the backup GW?
"ipsecctl -s all -v -v" shows a lot but it does not seem to show that.

On the master (let's say GW1)
echo "S" > /var/run/isakmpd.fifo then
vi isakmpd.report
shows the flags, but I'm interested in the SAs from the backup GW2 which were created by sasyncd.

Basically after the old SAs soft time expired and ...

CVS fan-out takes a while. Just keep an eye on it, and I'll try get
the regular patch files and errata entries posted tonight.

Hi,

i would like to use the ACLs in CUPS to give access to users and groups
from a LDAP directory. I already did this on a linux machine with
pam-ldap and nss-ldap, but on OpenBSD, pam and nss are not supported. So
i wonder if it was possible to do this another way ?

thanks

Hi,

we got a printer in our office. Now I'd like to use it. I hate
configurating printers. I don't like cups. 631 is blocked.

Usually I avoid all these problems with a

cat MyVeryInterestingFile.ps | telnet IPaddressOfPrinterHere 9100

since most of the printers have that door open.

It *works*

Now, admin here is taking security a bit too seriously and it's not
possible to telnet the printer over 9100.

I was thinking of using rlpr, like

rlpr -Plp -HIPaddressOfPrinterHere MyVeryInteres...

What's wrong with base lpd with a remote printer entry in printcap?
Unless I need wierd access controll, I only use LPD + apsfilter. Then
again, I never had a printer hanging on the network, I use an old 486 as
a print server running its own LPD and apsfilter.

If you need to spit printer-specific data to the printer from lpr and
need to convert first, you could chain printcap entries: print to one
queue, it's filter does the conversion and spits it to another queue
that sends it out to the remot...

Have you changed the default environment for users?

zsh uses the value of variables like EDITOR to determine which
key-mappings to default to.

Hi Ed,

Wich version of zsh do you use ? and wich version of OpenBSD (-current,
-stable..) ?
I, personaly, use zsh 4.3.4 without any problems (on -current)
Could you post your .zshrc ?
crtl+a and ctrl+e are emacs keybindings so you must have bindkey -e in
your .zshrc

hi there,

i was wondering if some of the boot sector/fdisk magicians
out there could lend me a hand in booting openbsd on the eee
without access to a cd-rom drive.

what i need is basically advice how to handcraft a boot sector
on an usb media with a snapshot for the boot process
to pick it up using exclusively xandros on the eee...

thanks in advance.

RULE SIX: the winning team shall be the first team that wins.

a generic bsd kernel ok, or needs to boot bsd.rd or similar?

In other words, I can see it being able to boot bsd.rd without a problem,
but will it load the root device ok with just /bsd?

yes.

see the referenced thread...

Prep the install device on another machine. Other machine just needs
a USB port, doesn't need to be bootable there or USB2 or anything else
fancy, as long as OpenBSD recognizes it.

Either that, or get me an eeepc so I can see what the existing
environment is and what the BIOS can do, then we might be able to give
you specific instructions to build a boot environment on the eeepc,
but it would be cheaper to just prep it on another machine. :)

Not at all. I might find a child but I will never find the parent.

[root@BSDHelmut ~]# pgrep -fl httpd

To stop httpd, which pid should I kill, the oldest, or the most recent?

OK, 'pgrep -fl httpd | tail -1' does the trick, and pgrep is not safe enough
f...

If you really want to find the parent you can...

$ ps ax -O pgid | grep ntpd
4887 4887 ?? Is 0:00.01 ntpd: [priv] (ntpd)
7164 4887 ?? I 0:00.06 ntpd: ntp engine (ntpd)

The header that gets stripped by grep:
PID PGID TT STAT TIME COMMAND

So you can see that for one process PID==PGID. Bingo.

pgrep on OpenBSD does not support '-o' (Select only the oldest). It is -
well - it could be more useful.

Hi!

I guess that's the *opposite* of what Helmut asked for.

Kind regards,

That's funny, I thought disklabel was completely broken for that
snapshot. I got the rd0 message when using Release.

I figured (from /var/log/messages) that the flash drive is mounted as
"JetFlash" so I changed the script to reflect this and still no luck.
Following the /var/log/message after the flash drive is plugged in and
also the new modified script.

Dear Misc:

I've been asked to look into an issue on a i386 system running OpenBSD 3.7. I
realize this is rather out-of-date, so feel free to ignore this question if
it's inappropriate...

The machine is running poptop-1.1.4.b4p1. Someone did an audit and declared
"PoPToP servers prior to version 1.1.4-bs are vulnerable to a buffer
overflow". I notice that even the current version of OpenBSD has a package for
poptop-1.1.4.b4p1, so I find it hard to believe that this version contains a
known buffer...
