I guess I'm also asking in the context of the CARP rig I described, i.e. is my wish to be able to have a permanently available IP for both hosts a valid one ? or am I going to run into trouble with it ?

I found that works out quite a bit better, but of course it's more investment. Just bought a Samsung 2032MW 20inch monitor. Has all connectors, VGA, DVI, SCART, video... has a tuner. Has PIP, you can watch TV and you PC session simultaneousy. For just 199 Euro. Larger models, sold as TVs, mostly have all connectors too, just that the "TV"s don't have Picture In Picture, while PC monitors do. Now PAL 720i (720 horiz * 2x288) is broadcast quality: the signal sent by the station. "Good" home TV's can differenciate 360 horiz signals. VHS tapes are in the 360/240 area. A good starting point for PAL TV might be 360*288 at 50 Hz or 360*576 at 25 Hz interlaced.

carp host talks to itself only?
This is a dumb question. I apologize in advance. If I have 5 machines configured for carp IP balancing as 10.0.0.1 and from one of those machines I try to connect to 10.0.0.1 I would assume the machine would talk to itself only based on the routing table. But I have seen hints that lead me to believe that it will actually talk to the other carp nodes as well (as in, all traffic is loadbalanced). Is this really the case, or would each machine really only talk to itself? Thanks in advance. I hope I'm making sense on limited caffeine.

My ALIX2c3 works just right using 38400 - starting with the BIOS messages, the boot> prompt works, even the rotating / appears right. It's IMHO the 0.99 BIOS that made the difference for you. Jan

It's likely not interlaced and you need the interlaced signal for the tv. Most LCD and CRT screens nowadays are not capable of syncing down to the 15.625KHz of the TV-Signal. modeline "pal_768x576" 14.75 768 784 864 944 576 582 588 625 -hsync -vsync interlace # H 15625 [Hz], V 50 [Hz] modeline "pal_720x576" 13.875 720 744 808 888 576 582 588 625 -hsync -vsync interlace # H 15625 [Hz], V 50 [Hz] You can check the X-log to see if the card actually accepts the modeline and uses it. If you put only this resolution into the config it should either start with it correctly or drop out with an error. Then I would use an Oscilloscope to check the signals on the Scart-Connector to make sure you have what your TV needs. Maybe somebody from the electrical-engineering department at your university can help you with that. I had something like that running in the past, but since I don't have a TV anymore... ;) -sm

Re: SCSI_DELAY setting ...
I went through the ahd code looking for a clue and the only thing that would make a difference is if the chip/bus hasn't settled yet. If I read the code right the only way that can happen is when it hits a SCSI reset on channel A. This really shouldn't happen so that makes your hardware suspect. Can you send a dmesg of the offending system please?

You can try some of the modelines there and need to make sure the tv is in rgb mode and the sync-line ist connected and put's out the right singal. http://www.unix-ag.uni-kl.de/~pfeffer/tvout/index.html Alternatively most modern cards have a tv-out, don't know what is supported by the x-servers. The solution using RGB above will give the best picture quality if you get it working. -sm
Blf.h & Vnconfig
Looking at the source code for vnconfig and blf.h, I see the following lines of code: /* Schneier specifies a maximum key length of 56 bytes. * This ensures that every key bit affects every cipher * bit. However, the subkeys can hold up to 72 bytes. * Warning: For normal blowfish encryption only 56 bytes * of the key affect all cipherbits. */ #define BLF_MAXUTILIZED ((BLF_N+2)*4) /* 576 bits */ I see that vnconfig uses BLF_MAXUTILIZED for the keylength when using the -K option. Does this mean that it feeds the blowfish cipher 576 bits instead of the recommended 448, or are some of the bits discarded prior to encryption so that the cipher is only using 448? _ Get thousands of games on your PC, your mobile phone, and the web with Windows.. http://clk.atdmt.com/MRT/go/108588800/direct/01/
Re: VistaPE PXE booting from a OpenBSD tftp

It seams my english lacks some importent parts to explain the issue int he right way. I appologize but you could have guessed it propably. The problem is the hardcoded \Boot\BCD in the BCD-File itself. And on OpenBSD I find no way to make a rewrite rule like on tftp-hpa (if I am not wrong) where you can create a file called "tftpd.remap" and insert a "gr // \" and that solves it. During the boot the bootcode of vistape looks for \Boot\BCD and claims it's not avaiable. To ensure I did not fucked up something I used 3 different Howtos (well all the same but differen sources) and created the PE serval times wich was even checked by other people here (and it boots on Linux btw..) So in case you use VistaPE with OpenBSD as dhcpd and tftpd it would be pretty nice to tell me how you solved it. The problem eppears just with Vista but will remain because the BCD-Code gets used in all further Versions of Windows. I strongly suspect the tftpd-Server as being responseable but as I said I did not find anything about the paths and if it may even rewrites itself. And googling for tftp openbsd just brings you tons of linux tftpds wich all claim to be derivated work of the openbsd tftp-server+addons. So hopefully I explaied myself in the right way now. Kind regards, Sebastian

VistaPE PXE booting from a OpenBSD tftp
Hello everybody, I currently try to set up a WinPE 2.0 solution ("VistaPE") to replace the old "BartPE" solution I currently do use. Even after using some HowTos I somehow failed to manage to get the VistaPE booting from a OpenBSD Server.

Did you read the source? Did you see any "#ifdef __OpenBSD__" conditionals or other differences in the relevant chunks of code between the source in the OpenBSD repository and the portable/official source?

That's not OpenBSD specific, so I'm sure you see why. Philip Guenther

Thanks, but I think it has to do with OpenBSD, because the question is about implementation at this platform. I'll try using following for now: drop_root() if ($< == 0 or $> == 0); # sudo useradd -g=uid -s/sbin/nologin -d/var/empty _myuser sub drop_root { my ($uid, $gid, $home) = (getpwnam('_myuser'))[2,3,7]; die 'User _myuser not found' unless ($uid and $gid and -d $home); chroot($home) or die "Can not chroot to $home: $!"; # try to set the real, effective and save uid setgid($gid) or die "Can not set gid to $gid: $!"; setuid($uid) or die "Can not set uid to $uid: $!"; # try to regain privileges - this should fail die 'Not able to drop privileges' if (setuid(0) or setgid(0)); }
