The tutorial uses vether(4) to bridge(4) the internally facing NICs to the same subnet, and is not necessary if your internal LAN has an Ethernet switch deployed. If your infrastructure has a switch, then the LAN can be reached from a single NIC, and neither a bridge or vether driver is needed. --- I noticed that the tutorial uses a block device path name in fstab(5), rather than DUID. The latter are considered a best practice since incept with OpenBSD 4.9. The tutorial also mentions mfs filesystems as a possibility for /var and /tmp. While mfs is still available, tmpfs filesystems were added at OpenBSD 5.4 and we are currently in a transition period. The mfs filesystems will eventually be removed. _______________________________________________ Openbsd-newbies mailing list Openbsd-newbies@sfobug.theapt.org http://mailman.theapt.org/listinfo/openbsd-newbies
