Hello, I can't get my redirection working:

ext_if="dc0"
int_if="fxp0"
all_if = "{" $ext_if $int_if "}"
lan_net = "172.17.5.0/24"
ext_addr = "66.88.132.39"
#scrub
#nat on $ext_if from $int_if:network to any -> ($ext_if)
rdr pass on $ext_if proto tcp from any to any port 81 -> 172.17.5.253
pass all

When I try to telnet from the LAN to the bsd box port 81, it refuses.

When I try to telnet from the bsd box to 172.17.5.253 port 81, it works great.

Robert Nagy announced, "due to the release of OpenBSD 3.6 [story], the 3.4-STABLE branch will be out of regular maintainance starting today. There will be NO MORE fixes commited to this branch nor new patches."

The Age has a story up about how the OpenBSD community has been contacting wireless chipset vendors to license their firmware binaries under terms that would allow for free redistribution. We know that Kerneltrap readers already were exposed to the beginning of this issue here but we're attempting to redouble our efforts across a wide number of OSS related news sites to get as many people involved as possible! This is important, because even with existing GPL and BSD licensed drivers for these chipsets, the drivers don't function without first loading onerously licensed firmware binaries which can only be acquired from the vendor, not shipped by an OSS provider. This means that currently, these wireless NIC's don't work out of the box on OSS install or boot media. In just the first 4 days, hundreds of users wrote and called vendors, and already 2 vendors freed their firmware, and several others are in discussions with Theo de Raadt about taking similar steps.

Theo de Raadt [interview] announced the official release of OpenBSD 3.6 a couple of days earlier than originally planned. He explained, "to ease the load on our FTP mirrors, I am happy to announce that we are opening up the release before the weekend rather than after it."

Among the highlights of this release, the i386 and amd64 architectures have gained SMP support. Other highlights include support for the luna88k architecture, improved hardware support, new functionality in the Border Gateway Protocol Daemon, OpenSSH 3.9 [story], improved NFS performance and reliability, a rewritten dhcp server and client with privilege separation, and a complete rewrite of the ntp daemon [story]. A complete list of changes since OpenBSD 3.5 [story] can be found here. Read on for the complete release announcement, including a comprehensive overview of improvements.

Hello,

I have stumbled on a page that I don't know if it's true or fake?!?!

Can someone help me out with this one...

http://groups.google.com/groups?q=OpenBSD&hl=en&lr=&selm=a88kjv%24bp6%241%40xyzzy.courtesan.com&rnum=2

If it's true, could I also get some opionions?

Thanks,

Hello,

I use OpenBSD 3.5, and I can't figure out how to get java enabled in any browser I have. I read the firefox/mozilla java plugin FAQ, I did that, and no luck. In mozilla, the program won't open anymore until I remove the plugin link file. I tried both Sun's and Blackdown's Versions. Is there any OpenBSD, or just a Unix one that will work. Any suggestions?
I also wouldn't mind getting Java to work in Galeon the most, but any browser will do.

I currently have a server running OpenBSD that I have managed to pack full of hard drives, I am having a few issues here. First, if the server has three ide controllers but if I hook up any devices on that third controller the systems hangs when it tries to load OpenBSD. I was wondering if I need to compile something into the kernal to help the OS work with more than four devices. Secondly and much more concerning to me is the fact that I am getting horrible performance on only two of my drives. My configuration is like this:

Theo de Raadt [interview] announced that the 3.6 CDs have already arrived and will begin to ship out soon, "the CDs will start shipping out in the next few days to those who have ordered them already. Unlike the staffing disaster last time, it sounds like things are working very well." Theo explained the 'disaster' in an earlier email, "someone in the shipping department was fired during the cycle for doing something wrong, and thus things fell apart."

Hi all

Excuse my lack of knowledge but wanted to ask a quick question.

If you want to deny packets based only on port number, can you issue a simple command such as:

"block in all port {21 : 25}"

or will the 'default deny' portion of the command, ie:

"block in all"

actually deny all packets, regardless of the port information at the end of the command line.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Continuing a long standing tradition, OpenBSD creator Theo de Raadt [interview] announced the availability of the official OpenBSD 3.6 [forum] song titled, "Pond-erosa Puff (live)". Each song has its own unique sound and theme different from the one before. For 3.6, it sounds to be inspired by the late Johnny Cash, and the theme is regarding software that starts out being free, then changes licenses. Three specific projects mentioned are XFree86, IPFilter, [story] and Apache:

"While not exactly bait-and-switch, this is something which has been causing the community continual grief, and therefore we decided to honour a few of the projects that have decided to go non-free. After all.. having gone non-free, noone is going to remember them in the end. This song is dedicated to a few worthy groups who have made this Free-to-Non-Free transition with their offerings in the last few years".

Following the above announcement, Theo warned that OpenBSD CD sales have dropped dramatically, "if this follows previous sales .. shall I say curves... that we have seen, this will make it difficult for us to make releases on CD in the future." The decrease in CD sales is partially attributed to an increase in FTP installs. OpenBSD 3.6 became available for preorder one month ago [story], scheduled for release on November 1'st, 2004.
