[ Pardon if this email was repeated.
Sadly, I'm using Outlook and you know the rest :-) ]
Can anyone point me to a kernel developers guide or tutorial?
Something that explains how to write a "hello world" type device driver
and such. Anything to bootstrap me a bit. ;-)
Cheers!

| carlopmart | Enabling ipv6 in only one interface
Hi all,
Somebody knows how can I enable ipv6 in only one interface?? How can I do?? I
have an openbsd 4.3 server with 6 interfaces and I need to setup ipv6 only in
one interface to test some services.
Many thanks.

have you taken a look at /etc/netstart ?

| Paul de Weerd | Re: Enabling ipv6 in only one interface
Not sure what you're asking here. If you're running GENERIC, your
kernel is IPv6 enabled. This does not give you IPv6 connectivity per
se (except for link local). Configure an address on the one interface
you want to test your services on and test your services. If you want
/ must, you can configure pf to filter all other IPv6 traffic.
Cheers,
Paul 'WEiRD' de Weerd

| Marc Espie | Re: pkg_add errors
Looks like you have some proxying mechanism which fucks up. It definitely
appears that your ftp client is not terminating client properly, something
eats the connection termination.
As said, if you are behind a nat, you should definitely make sure you have
ftp proxying running, so that the connections are tracked correctly.
Otherwise, use an http mirror, it doesn't have this shortcoming.

| Lars Noodén | Re: pkg_add errors
How about using an ftp proxy/cache behind your cisco pix? It should
speed things up, too.

| c l | pkg_add errors
Anyone else get this message when doing pkg_add's from ftp sites?
421 There are too many connections from your internet address
I get this on all my openbsd boxes, 4.3 and -current from June 10, 2008.
All of them are behind either a cisco pix or 4.3 -release firewall.
It seems to happen with just about any package that has a few dependencies.

Hi all,
When I set this in my .profile

then I don't have command history,I can't use arrow keys for going to previous

CTRL+R is not running too.

Hi Max,
My english is sometimes not so clear :-)
Ofcourse command history is running by default.Everything was Ok.
Then I read some FAQ and man and some programs need $EDITOR set.
So I use vi for it,which is my preferred editor.Then I lost functions
for command history.I was looking what can be wrong and undo some
changes in .profile.$EDITOR was it.
I thought,that 'export EDITOR=/usr/bin/vi' is enough -> my fault.

I was read man page about ksh and found 'set -o emacs' and so on (BTW man
pages are great source),but command history is running by default after
install.
Problem start after I setup $EDITOR in .profile .Looks like something is
fighting with something,but can't find what.
Can $EDITOR affect this default behavior (running command history after
install)?

| Jesus Sanchez | make build question
Hi, using 4.2.
Can I do a "make build" of the base system
without set previously a DESTDIR, and
after the build take the bins I want from the
/usr/obj tree??
Thanks for all.

| Jun 11, 12:50 am 2008 |
| Hannah Schroeter | Re: make build question
Hi!
What do you mean by "take"? Make build w/o DESTDIR already installs
things in the running system.
Does release(8) answer your question?
Kind regards,
Hannah.

| Ryan McBride | Re: Development at the hackathon
People are working pretty much all the time, though you may notice a
slight decrease in commit rate around beer o'clock (between 11pm and
1am, TZ=Canada/Mountain).
At any rate, we try to keep things production-stable even during a
hackathon: our productivity during the event depends on it, so you can
sync and build pretty much anytime. If you run into problems check the
most recent commit messages and see if it's been fixed while your
machine was building.

Oh come on.
We are being careful. The tree builds -- always. Only one commit done

of you noticed.

I have 2 units (almost anyway) set up now for pf-pfsync-carp-dhcpd-

when I can.
Good luck in Edmondchuck, and have fun all, we look forward to reading
about it all.

Is there a particular time of day most changes are committed (like

Development is really fast right now, because of the hackathon in Edmonton.
We are testing as much as we can before we commit, but as always
during these hackathon processes we really depend on our user
community -- to track our changes and help spot the occasional bug we
accidentally introduce.
We are developing really fast and hard; please help us by testing
really fast and hard too.

Uses a sloppy TCP connection tracker that does not check sequence
numbers at all, which makes insertion and ICMP teardown attacks way
easier. This is intended to be used in situations where one does
not see all packets of a connection, e.g. in asymmetric routing
situations. Cannot be used with modulate or synproxy state.
comes down to "do not use them".

| Gilles Chehade | Re: vsftpd [more secure]
If someone had an answer for you, I guess they would have voiced it by now, so
I think the best is to either assume that the safest version of vsftpd is the
last version of it, and if you are not confident enough with this assumption
to use another ftpd (see man ftpd(8) ?).
