Re: Question about webmail for users who are not busy on por...

So far this thread has focused on the various IMAP based solutions and
the merits of the many alternate components to such. Keying off some
comments in the OP (below) I would like to point out that there _is_
an OpenBSD package openwebmail-2.51p1.tgz for a non-IMAP webmail. A few
of the things that I like about this solution are:
- it is written entirely in perl (no php or other non-base prereqs)
- it works well when deployed on the mail server or over POP3
- its interface is very clean yet f...

Problems with 4.5 as a KVM guest

I am trying to get OpenBSD 4.5 working as a guest OS using KVM on Linux. I
have been able to get 4.4 to install and run fine, but 4.5 never gives me a
login prompt. The last message I see is about setting tty flgas. On the
reboot after first install t paniced.

Any sugestions as to what to do to get this working?

Re: running spamd at same machine of the real smtp server

no need for any of this. the basic setup detailed in the manual
works just fine. don't forget the "pass log" rules for spamlogd.

running spamd at same machine of the real smtp server

Hi,

Is it possible to run spamd in the same host where
the SMTP server is running?

Is anyone in the list doing this? Could you share
your experience?

I thought of 2 ways but I do not know if there any
negative implications:

1 to run spamd on guest OS in an vmware server.
2 to have the real smtp server listen on a different
TCP port

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Robson

Re: running spamd at same machine of the real smtp server

Why ?
spamd and smtpd listen on different ports.
Read the man pages and the faq.

I run spamd on one machine using sendmail, dovecot, and squirrelmail.
No problems at all. Local traffic, of course, doesn't pass through spamd
at all.

I will post them in this message.

I would like to run OpenBSD on my D201GLY motherboard.
It is not strictly a recovery operation.

During booting, the kernel dies very shortly after printing "cpu0 at

Given the fact that the machine boots just fine from the CD you could
try the following:

1. Boot from CD; interrupt the bootloader.

2. type "boot hd0a:/bsd"

If that doesn't work, you can try disabling device drivers.

1. Boot from disk; interrupt the bootloader.

2. type "boot /bsd -c"

3. at the UKC> prompt type "disable <driver>"

I'd start with disabling all the ACPI crap:

Re: Cannot Boot with Intel D201GLY Motherboard

You are using i386? Have you tried amd64? I have D201GLY2, and IIRC,
with OpenBSD 4.5, the i386 kernel seemed to have been resetting the
box right during the boot process, whereas the amd64 kernel worked
(and still works) without a single problem.

IMP webmail bad folder encoding

Hi!

In IMP after login, the left-side folder list comes up, and it has some
folders, which contains localized characters. This is only displayed
correctly when I select the "English" language on the IMP login page from the
drop-down menu. When I choose any other locale (but let's say now I choose my
own locale, which is "Magyar" (Hungarian)), the folder list won't display the
correct characters in the folders' names. It's like this:

Folder name with "English (*)" locale:
"\gyfil"

Re: external monitor for laptop using nv driver not working

from nv(4):
Option "FlatPanel" "boolean"
...
With this driver, a digital flat panel will work
only if it was POSTed by the BIOS, that is, the
computer must have booted to the panel.

is the panel on crtc 1 the one the POST messages appeared on?

As in, the bootup BIOS messages? No, they appear on my laptop
screen, the LCD only starts working when OpenBSD starts booting.

Can I somehow change this?

I don't know. is there an option in the BIOS, or maybe it's explained

Re: Cannot Boot with Intel D201GLY Motherboard

Hi Ken,

Unfortunately I cannot see your attachments.. as the lists do not permit them.

As this is a strictly a recovery operating, "ffsrv" is rumoured to
work for some people on Windows.. but it probably won't help you
because of the ccd(4) setup.

I cannot explain the problem you're facing, but it is possible that
perhaps the geometry reported by the pciide(4) driver differs from the
one determined by the BIOS, confusing the boot loader.

One entirely unsupported option might be to use QEMU f...

Re: IPX/SPX between two locations running OpenBSD

Uggg, IPX/SPX. You must have an old Netware installation if you are still
running IPX/SPX. Setup a bridge between the two sites across a VPN
tunnel. You also need to make sure you lower the MTU size because with a
transparent bridge there won't be any mechanism to discover MTU size.

Re: Problems using ppp on my cell phone

Found thread in tech@, thanks to Claudio.

I realize that. But magic words ' "initialization string" in cell-modem
properties in Windows' must turn support's brain in right way and help get
some usefull info.

I belive your ppp.conf is correct. Stuff that could be changed on the
operator side are init string and dial number.

We don't know what partition to mount where.
