Hi, First, and just for the record: while trying to set up an FTP server on OpenBSD 4.2 I got this error message while trying to connect by any other address than 'localhost':
421 Service not available, remote server has closed connection. Reason, it turned out: a missing entry in /etc/hosts.allow. I had a hard time finding anything relevant out there, so now at least the relation between the error message and the missing entry is documented. The reason I needed an FTP server is that I'm trying to install OpenBSD 4.5 on a Lenovo Thinkpad W500 model 4058-CTO, with no success. With obsd 4.4 it never got past hardware initialization, with 4.5 at least I get the installer menu, but no for long: [...] Proceed with install? [n] y [...] No disks found # And no, I don't expect developers to _scramble to their laptops_ just because I as an OpenBSD user am _entitled to have this fixed ASAP_ and stuff like that. I was at least happy to see that the Fathers of OpenBSD in their infinite wisdom decided to use plain ftp for downloading packages, and not some custom-built single-purpose binary-installer-builtin, so I could at least get a dmesg off the box (I didn't manage to get a screen capture over USB). The output from the 'dmesg' command run from the shell commandline is listed below. I'm only an "index" list member, but feel free to contact me offlist if you need more info. I'll be happy to help testing any updates. And I'll be following any replies through the archives of course. An otherwise very happy OpenBSD user, Bill dmesg: -------------------------------------------------------------------------- OpenBSD 4.5 (RAMDISK_CD) #1112: Sat Feb 28 15:06:26 MST 2009 dera...@i386.openbsd.org:/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/RAMDISK_CD cpu0: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU T9400 @ 2.53GHz ("GenuineIntel" 686-class) 2.53 GHz cpu0: FPU,V86,DE,PSE,TSC,MSR,PAE,MCE,CX8,APIC,SEP,MTRR,PGE,MCA,CMOV,PAT,PSE36,CFLUSH,DS,ACPI,MMX,FXSR,SSE,SSE2,SS,HTT,TM,SBF,SSE3,MWAIT,DS-CPL,VMX,SMX,EST,TM2,CX16,xTPR real mem = 3214176256 (3065MB) avail mem = 3115958272 (2971MB) mainbus0 at root bios0 at mainbus0: AT/286+ BIOS, date 09/24/08, BIOS32 rev. 0 @ 0xfdc80, SMBIOS rev. 2.4 @ 0xe0010 (74 entries) bios0: vendor LENOVO version "6FET46WW (1.16 )" date 09/24/2008 bios0: LENOVO 4058CTO acpi0 at bios0: rev 2 acpi0: tables DSDT FACP SSDT ECDT APIC MCFG HPET SLIC BOOT ASF!
