Hi, I have a Netra T1 (sparc64) running 3.9 with raidframe on root. Being such an old system, I decided to do a fresh install, so I boot the 4.6 cdrom and install the system on the first disk (sd0). Rebooting again brings the 4.6 up fine so I compile and install a new raidframe-enabled kernel. Rebooting again produces many core dumps - `uname -a` says 4.6, but the filesystem is from the old 3.9 raid - the new raidframe kernel must have found the raid set on the 2nd disk. Physically ...

It takes either a masochist to run original NTPD, or you are being tortured.

Hi list, is there any way to use newsyslog with ntpd (not the OpenBSD one) without having to restart it? Just rotating the log causes subsequent log messages to be lost and killing ntpd with SIGHUP causes it to exit. I've had a look at the manpages and on the interwebs, but didn't find anything. Thanks, Lars

Sorry for the duplicate again... I really have to get used to using mutt's list-reply. ----- Forwarded message from Josh Rickmar <joshua_rickmar@eumx.net> ----- Date: Sun, 3 Jan 2010 08:30:26 +0000 From: Josh Rickmar <joshua_rickmar@eumx.net> To: Tomas Bodzar <tomas.bodzar@gmail.com> Subject: Re: What does your environment look like?

Ah, nice. Yeah, after looking through the manual again, I tried all the features, and found that out as well. Just to see what has changed since I last used it, I installed scrotwm and started writing down a list of things which I didn't really like or that I found odd: * No tagging Since Marco doesn't really like this, and it is his wm, I doubt this would be comming back (a shame, really. you can still use tags as regular workspaces if so inclined). * Statusbar doesn't display ...

"stable" mostly refers to API changes; neither -current nor -stable should be particularly unreliable (and security should be the same or better in -current).

RT2860 has great RF performance but under some conditions running in hostap mode, things stop working until you ifconfig down+up (PR 5958). As others mentioned, OpenBSD doesn't support 802.11n yet, these cards run in 11g mode for now.

I will kill to learn how to use mutt... It looks great...

As anounced in undeadly.org i've started trying pcc for little things and personal sources and in case of find bugs, report them. But this issue seems more like i'm missing something. My box it's a fresh OpenBSD 4.6 relase install (i've tested this issue in other machine with a fresh install) The way I installed pcc was doing make install on /usr/src/usr.bin/pcc . I made a simple helloworld to test it but it didn't compiled. (error returned at end of the mail). The source is: #include ...

But this post says that - pcc can now build a bootable OpenBSD -current x86 kernel. So I suppose that you will have better chance with current and not release/stable. -- http://www.openbsd.org/lyrics.html

OpenBSD-STABLE with fluxbox on my work desktop. I have a laptop with a busted LCD and keyboard, so I use it as a WinXP slave via rdesktop for running IE (checking websites, as I work in IT for a hosting company). The XP box runs in seamless mode, so fluxbox looks a bit weird with a Windows task bar across the top...but it works haha. At home I have OpenBSD-CURRENT running on my desktop...fluxbox there as well. Both have conky running as my monitor, with three instances: Left one is RSS ...

I wasn't going to reply, but I couldn't believe that cwm hasn't received any love yet. It's glorious. Powerful keyboard control, neat features, and faster than you need it to be. Its minimalism is elegant (and absolute) with no window decoration crud to distract or No, but net/rsync is excellent for that purpose.

Did you try current? Anyway man pages says that this chip is supported in both release and current. What says 'usbdevs -v' about your device?

Probably a bit premature to be asking this since I won't be able to physically access the machine until Monday, but here goes ... I have a machine that I admin remotely running 4.6 with all the patches. It's a firewall only machine with 6 ethernet interfaces, 4 of which are active, and has been running fine since I upgraded it. It's got a fairly complex pf.conf. Last week I set up a VPN on it to a Sonic Wall appliance. The VPN comes up and works fine, and then somewhere between 4 and 24 ...

On Sun, 3 Jan 2010 08:15:55 +0000 Josh Rickmar Yes! Using snapshots/packages is an absolutely fantastic option if: 1.) You have a *reliable* Internet connection 2.) You have plenty of bandwidth 3.) All the machines you maintain are running the same -current snapshot. 4.) You don't want to work on stuff. I have difficulty downloading the full snapshot .iso's without the connection making a mess of it, so I typically download the individual snapshot *.tgz's. Even CVS can be painful ...

I can compare OpenBSD to dev versions of OpenSolaris, DragonflyBSD, NetBSD or some stable Linux distro and I must say that OpenBSD is more stable and useful in its current version then any other OS in its stable version. Read this http://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq5.html#Flavors and especially this part is just plain true - In fact, as our hope is to continually improve OpenBSD, the goal is that -current should be more reliable, more secure, and of course, have greater features than -stable.
