Old CDs

Hello,

I have been purchasing OpenBSD since version 2.7 was released. I usually buy
two each time and leave one unopened. I also started to purchase versions
prior to 2.7 to complete my collection. Unfortunately I will not be able to
complete my collection as 2.1, 2.2 and 2.4 have sold out.

I was wondering if anybody has any "unopened" 2.1, 2.2 or 2.4 CD-ROM sets that
they are willing to sell?

My original reason for buying older releases was to help out the project.
Therefore, if the price ...

Re: OpenBSD: vsftpd/SSL and CF Performance

I replied off-list to Manuel... I'm running a pretty recent 4.3 snapshot
on an alix2c3 as well, and I get great speeds writing to CF. I've never
had 4.2 or older running on it, unfortunately, so I don't know if 4.3 is

OpenBSD: vsftpd/SSL and CF Performance

hi all,
i experience some strange problems here, maybe someone can help me. in
fact, i have two problems:

1) i set up a vsftp server, which is working just fine. but ssl
connections get dropped just at the point of TLS handshaking. my config
is: only local users, force ssl logins and data. i tried several
clients, it seems it is a problem at the server. what have i done wrong?
without ssl all is working fine. the log doesn't say much or am i
looking at the wrong one (/var/log/vsftpd.log).

USB speed (umass): what should I expect?

Hi there,

First, I just received my OpenBSD 4.3 CD set. Thanks for another release!

Since the harddisk on my laptop was full and I was eager to give 4.3 a
spin, I installed in on a USB stick. The read and write performance of the
stick was much less than I expected, based on how the stick performs under
Linux (on the same machine).

Under Linux, I get ~30MB/sec read and ~20MB/sec write throughput when doing
"dd if=/dev/stick of=/dev/null bs=16384" and "dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/stick
bs=16384", r...

pf, remote logging

Hello, World!

I would like to have the pf logs of my gateway available on another
machine to not have to work on them on the gateway itself. At that
point, I'm juste trying to find a reasonable solution. Here are my
thoughts:

* The solution proposed in the FAQ [1] has a few annoying problems (at
least for me :). One of them is that logs in text format takes a lot
more room that the ones in tcpdump files

* I'had also a look at the (old) articles of Jacek Artymiak on the

Since you're posting to an OpenBSD mailinglist, I'm assuming you're

what you want exactly. Your system comes with IPv6 enabled by default,...

Just my two cents :

I remember an interview with rms (about two years ago) where he
critisised not only (open/net/free)bsd for shipping non-free software,
but also ubuntu, redhat and others. The only really free distribution
from his point of view is GNU/HURD, but since it will be released
shortly after Duke Nukem Forever, we'll have to stay non-free one or two
more months ;)

So he declared others as non-free at least once... god knows why he
didn't it do more often.

aside from the fact that carp failover IS blazingly fast already (i do

anything), let's look at the typical fwA + fwB secanrio, 3
interfaces: ext, int, and syndev. now the carps on ext and int have

Re: OpenBSD isakmpd and pf vs Cisco PIX or ASA

I didn't suggest that when the "watchdev" interface goes down that the
carp interface would immediately switch to MASTER, but that it could
lower the timeout in waiting for an advertisement from the current

Probably not. I've never had problems with carp's fallover time and
I've never used a Cisco firewall so I don't really know how it
actually compares. I just wanted to suggest a maybe-solution assuming
the supposed slow failover time was a problem.

lower to what? less than the partner's advskew? then it IS master.
slightly more than partner's advskew? well, yo don't know partner's

advskew highter than the current master's one but lower than yours.

the sample rate shouldn't be a problem; on OpenBSD all usual sample

the "unusual" format used by envy (and other "pro" cards) is a

Re: envy24-based card for OpenBSD [was: "VIA Announces..."]

IIRC, someone reported that the Audiophile 2496 works on OpenBSD.
By "works" i mean that it can record and play 24bit samples using
10/12 channels, as it should. Unfortunaltely few audio ports
support such encodings.

Recently jakemsr@ ported jack, afaik it's the only app that can use
natively envy(4) devices. He also modified various audio apps to
use jack, so such cards become more and more usable with usual
apps. See:
