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!

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 ?

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.

Hi all,

When I set this in my .profile

# Editor
EDITOR=/usr/bin/vi
export EDITOR

then I don't have command history,I can't use arrow keys for going to previous
command,
CTRL+R is not running too.

What's wrong with this setting?I'm using ksh

Thx

As I read deeper now I found this :

Note: traditionally, EDITOR was used to specify the name of an
(old-style) line editor, such as ed(1), and VISUAL was used
to
specify a (new-style) screen editor, such as vi(1). Hence if
VISUAL is set, it overrides EDITOR.

I don't have VISUAL set and EDITOR was used for line editor.Maybe this?
Screen editor set in variable for line editor? - don't know how it's set
internal.

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 don't read whole ksh man page yet (don't beat me please:-)).
Maybe it's ...

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.

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.

There are some snapshots being made, of course, but people who are
familiar with checking out their own trees...

I wanted to make a correction here as I got a comment that puzzled me
and that may have created a miss understanding on my part on the way I
wrote my text.

If the perception have been taken by anyone as a complain, or otherwise
I want to apologies for this!

It's possible that some may have taken it to mean bad things and if so I
am very sorry for it and that sure wasn't the intend here.

If Marco took it as a complain as well I want to make sure I correct
this and retract that as well as o...

Oh come on.

We are being careful. The tree builds -- always. Only one commit done
so far has broken something so far -- for about 3 minutes -- which none
of you noticed.

I have 2 units (almost anyway) set up now for pf-pfsync-carp-dhcpd-
ipsec-blahblah-andsomeotherstuff, with some users behind it, all for
testing, no production. Looking forward to keeping up with the tree
when I can.

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

p.s. love the shirt.

like, pf.conf(5)?

sloppy
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".
there are some very special circumstances where they ma...

I also would like some insight on ,
1:) exactly what is sloppy states meant to do
2:) what are some specific instances where we should use sloppy states
3:) what is a case where it would be bad to use sloppy states.

have dug about and not found any KVM switches that do either RDP or VNC
that are reasonably priced. any suggestions on equipment of this sort
would be appreciated.

looking for stuff that works easily with openbsd packages, no java stuff
if it can be helped.

..and my reply was to a person that thinks "the Ford car owner maillist"
is the optimal place to ask for driving directions from London to Paris.

If the vsftpd guys/forums/maillists can't tell which of their versions
is the most secure, I strongly suggest you dont run that software.

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) ?).
