EDIT: Missing subject line, apologies for the spam... honestly.

I mentioned I was using OpenBSD 4.2 and applied the latest Xenocara patches...

Apologies for not stating the obvious.. because everyone watches DVD's on m68k.. right?

I'm not out of sync.. I'm running OpenBSD 4.2 and I have everything on the errata page applied.. ;)

Yes, I am pissed off that the developers ended that...

They/You arrogantly assumed everyone uses -CURRENT, and security isn't important
to those using -STABLE....

Hi,

I decided to buy a Packard Bell EasyNote XS which will be available in
the US from Walmart as the Everex Cloudbook sometime soon.

The device comes preloaded with Windows XP, so needless to say I want
to get that off ASAP and something more useful onto it.

Basically the device is an implementation of the reference design of
the VIA Nanobook without the touch screen.

Using OpenBSD 4.2 release the box works absolutely fine, however, the
acpi code fails to understand some of the stru...

Hi all,

A while back I attempted to setup a route-based VPN tunnel between a
Fortigate firewall and an OpenBSD firewall with no success. I now have
the need to get this to work and wondering if someone on the list can
shed some light on the configuration. The end goal is to have a gif(4)
interface run over IPSec so that I can use a dynamic routing protocol to
route traffic to remote VPN networks.

I can successfully create an IPSec VPN connection between the Fortigate
and OpenBSD 4.2 system...

What logs? The only error message produced is in my initial email... all other applications I use are working..

Did you mean a dmesg? What will that accomplish?

I haven't updated my kernel since applying the Xenocara patches.. and it worked previously.

How was it lame? Not everyone frequents both lists... perhaps someone else noticed the issue?..

I can't be the only person on earth who watches movies...

The released patches not being thoroughly tested is "lame" sir... ;)

-Ni...

have you read the FAQ?

hmm, something makes me think this type of attitude has something
to do with the disappearance of -stable ports ...

as you said, everything but watching dvds with vlc worked, for you
on your setup. do you really expect every possible scenario with
every possible port combination to be tested? would you rather not

Well, perhaps I could make/find/whatever a steel tub with a lid (or an
old safe) :) in which to put said computer case, but I'd like to start
with a decent case.

Who makes a solid, steel case that doesn't cover up large holes with
plastic stuff?

It seems that server cases now use hot-swap drives so the only thing
between the drive and the world is the plastic handle on the hot-swap
carrier (unless there's metal in there which I can't see on pictures).

Doug.

Yes, that would make a high-quality faraday cage, assuming my little
P-133 is the only computer operating. Then again, so would the reactor
vessels. :)

I'm assuming that you've read Clancy's book (not just seen the movie).
Note that Skip writes his computer model in Ada and runs it on a Cray.

Hey, I just looked up the Cray1 on Wikipedia. It ran at 80 MHz!

Doug.

In terms of pure computation, I believe a dual PPro200Mhz beats a Cray X/MP.

After I updated my OpenBSD 4.2 workstations with the released patches... VLC media player crashes!

or change the video output module in vlc.

btw, you never said what arch this is on or what window manager you
are using ...

and cross-posting to misc and ports is rather lame.

This report is useless. Where are all the logs?

Depending on the exact properties of the traffic you may get some
mileage out of using state tracking options to limit the number of
simultaneous connections from a single host, rate of new connections
etc and creative use of overload tables. Much like the mainly ssh
focused example at [1], only the technique is a general one and could
just as easily be applied to SMTP connections.

Hi,

Actually, the above is just what I was looking for. :-)

Michael

I agree with you except for help to bill gates... He can have a
thousands of slaves to ask help, all ready to lick his ass... So why me :)
I want to be free to choose the freedom, i choose BSD&Gpl when i need (
& it's a bitwise AND)
Thanks for your mail Fredrik.

Did you have any trouble getting the software for setting up the scsi
raid card? Can the raid card be set up as JOBD, i.e. if I want to start
with just one or two drives non-RAID?

Doug.

Dude,

I used to have a stack of proliants, and I agree with Nick. Prolaint
bios was... Special.

If you really want a low power cpu, get one of those c7 cpus, put it
in an aluminium case, and you don't have to worry about all those
issues that nick and others brought up. If you're worried about this
affecting your wife, the radiation is inverse squared or inverse power
of 4. The C7 is as low power as those PPros you're looking at, or
possibly lower.
Certainly all the other equipment you're go...

Only a partial answer, but I use APC UPSen and they have an inside
temperature sensor. If the ventilation around it is fairly good, my
tests indicate that its reading fairly accurately reflects the
environment. One can monitor the UPS via serial, logging/graphing in
whichever way you like: we happen to use munin running on $OTHER_OS.
