Hello all. First time posting here, so I apologize in advance if my question doesn't belong on this list. I've been using some Compaq Deskpro DPENS Pentium II machines as OpenBSD firewalls since late 2.x to early 3.x. Recently I made the jump to 4.8 and all seems to work fine except I noticed the reboot command does not appear to work. The machine gets halted, screen blanks out, but that's as far as it goes. I re-installed 3.3 and confirmed the reboot works fine under 3.3. Any tips/hints ...

Maybe _your_ time, but Cuba isn't at UTC -6 but UTC -5.

On Thu, Dec 30, 2010 at 5:00 PM, Orestes Leal R. Your email says: Date: Thu, 30 Dec 2010 16:00:11 -0600 That's in the future. I think cuba is supposed to be -0500, but you're some sort of "rogue" nation, so who knows. :)

Hi Johan. Thanks for the reply, I've already tried to set on each firewall net.inet.carp.preempt=1 and the problem is the same. Now I've tried to set them to 0, and seems to work. My question is, why setting up each firewall net.inet.carp.preempt to 1 it does not work? On OpenBSD faq: net.inet.carp.preempt Allow hosts within a redundancy group that have a better advbase and advskew to preempt the master. In addition, this option also enables failing over a group of interfaces ...

I'm not sure if your use of "user" means "same as username" or "users". There is no "user" group. By default, I think we intend for a new user to get a new group, but there's been some confusion in that department.

I noticed when the installer created my first non-root (erg, first administration) user, it set the primary group to "user", and not even to "staff". Later, I added a non-wheel user and it set the primary group there to "user", as well. So I checked around and found, in usermgmt.conf, that the group "user" is specified as the default. My memory is that this is a change from the last time I experimented with obsd, circa v3.4 or so. A quick google search of the FAQ, the web and of the ...

Ah yes, true. Spoke too soon! Appologies!

I forget if the profile counts interrupts as coming from idle. If you're mostly forwarding traffic, the idle loop will be the top function on the stack just about always.

From the porfile output. index %time self descendents called+self name index [1] 83.9 0.00 359.49 sched_idle [1] You spent > 80% in idle. So while forwarding all that traffic the box was mostly idle. Interesting are: [6] 3.3 0.02 14.26 4028087 acpi_get_timecount [6] [7] 3.2 0.14 13.66 3854116 binuptime [7] I guess these are that high up in the profile because of altq. These seem to be altq ...
