Re: /etc/netstart issue with dhcp and default route (solved)

2008-12-28 Thread Michael
Hi,

issue solved...

When there is no dhcp option in any active hostname.if file the
/etc/mygate file is read... and the already existing default route is
removed.

Without /etc/mygate and the following hostname.if configuration it works
now... except that the ifconfig priority thing doesn't really work.

# cat /etc/hostname.bge0
media autoselect priority 1 up
dhcp NONE NONE NONE
rtsol

# cat /etc/hostname.iwi0
nwid wrap bssid aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff
nwkey 0x00
media autoselect priority 2 up
!/sbin/ifconfig ``\$if'' chan /dev/null 21
dhcp NONE NONE NONE
rtsol

 Hi,
 
 I have the problem that, when dhclient is started for my wireless
 interface iwi0 from /etc/netstart, no IPv4 default route is created. If
 I call dhclient iwi0 manually it works.
 
 
 # cat /etc/hostname.bge0
 rtsol
 media autoselect \
 priority 1 up
 !/sbin/dhclient ``\$if''
 
 For the wired connection it doesn't matter if I use dhcp or add the
 !dhclient command, just trying out different things. Adding the default
 route always works here.
 
 
 # cat /etc/hostname.iwi0
 rtsol
 media autoselect nwid  \
 nwkey 0x \
 bssid aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff:gg \
 priority 2 up
 !/sbin/ifconfig ``\$if'' chan /dev/null 21
 !/sbin/dhclient ``\$if''
 
 For iwi0 I need the first ! line so it actually starts the connection to
 the access point. Without that line I do not get associated and nothing
 happens at all.
 
 When I add dhcp to the head of the file dhclient complains about no
 link... and with the !dhclient line at the bottom I get an IP address
 etc, just NO default route (even when I remove the hostname.bge0 file or
 pull the cable). As said above, it works if I manually execute dhclient.
 
 
 Any ideas?



ifconfig priority issues

2008-12-28 Thread Michael
Hi,

I've tried using the priority option with the default route (gets
assigned using dhcp) but it only works partially. Is that the intented
behaviour (as man ifconfig only speaks about static routes) or a bug?

# cat /etc/hostname.bge0
media autoselect priority 1 up
dhcp NONE NONE NONE
rtsol

# cat /etc/hostname.iwi0
nwid wrap bssid aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff
nwkey 0x00
media autoselect priority 2 up
!/sbin/ifconfig ``\$if'' chan /dev/null 21
dhcp NONE NONE NONE
rtsol


When the system is booted route shows the default route from iwi0...
which is only priority 2... shouldn't the default route be from bge0?

However, if I pull the cable from bge0 and plug it back in I get the
bge0 default route. Changing works here... but if I pull the cable
again, the default route isn't changed back to the one from iwi0.

Working as intended or bug?

Michael

There is one piece missing and that's a smarter dhclient script as it

dhclient. I have a diff to fix this issue that I will send out in the next

weekly/locate.updatedb problem

2008-12-28 Thread Denny White
I know from past experience and doing a lot of online searching
that this problem crops up from time to time. Usually someone
just did a new install and doesn't know the locate.datebase
isn't created by default. You have to do it yourself to get
started. Just stating those things so no one thinks I'm looking
for a quick fix without any rtfm or research. I'm getting

Not installing locate database; zero size

when weekly runs. I've created the database myself several ways:

sudo /usr/libexec/locate.updatedb

which makes it much larger than the normal size which happens
because it's not under the normal constraints it is when run
from weekly. Also used

sudo su -m nobody /usr/libexec/locate.updatedb

which produces the normal size.

I haven't done any modifications to weekly. It's straight
'out of the box' from when I installed 4.4. I've looked at
the permissions on the pertinent directories and none of them
appear to have changed. I've looked at root's crontab and can't
find anything wrong there. It's just like it was when I was
still running 4.3 and locate.updatedb worked fine from weekly
then. Still, when weekly runs, locate.updatedb fails. I've
tried running ls from another term when weekly starts and
could see /var/db/locate.database.XX. Sometimes
locate.update will run for up to 10 or 15 secs, but usually
it fails, almost immediately. I should mention, also, that
there's no problem with /tmp or /var sizes. /tmp is 1Gib
and almost empty. /var is 2GiB, also mostly free. Anyone
got any ideas where to look next, I'd appreciate it.

Wine on OpenBSD

2008-12-28 Thread Austin English
Howdy,

A few people have asked recently about Wine on OpenBSD on the wine
mailing lists. I decided to give it a spin, since the version in ports
is nearly 10 years old (!). I've made a bit of progress, but seems
there are multiple bugs that need fixing (on both ends).

What I've done so far:
# export PKG_PATH=ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/4.4/packages/i386/
# pkg_add autoconf-2.6.1 bison cups git gnutls sane-backends jpeg
openldap-server

OpenBSD already has most dependencies satisfied, but these weren't met
by a default install.

Bug #1 The version of lcms in ports doesn't get picked up by wine.
Should I send an e-mail to po...@openbsd.org?
$ wget http://www.littlecms.com/lcms-1.17.tar.gz  gzip2 -d
lcms-1.17.tar.gz  tar -xvf lcms-1.17.tar  cd lcms-1.17  make
# make install

After that, continue with building wine:
$ CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/local/include LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/lib
./configure  make depend  make -k

Which gives a lot more problems:
configure: libhal development files not found, no dynamic device support.
configure: libcapi20 development files not found, ISDN won't be supported.
configure: libcups development files not found, CUPS won't be supported.
configure: WARNING: OpenSSL development files not found, SSL won't be supported.
configure: WARNING: libpng development files not found, PNG won't be supported.

libhal/libcapi20 are expected, since they're not installed. They're
not really useful anyway, so not a big deal.

libcups IS installed. Looking at config.log:
configure:15933: gcc -o conftest -g -O2 -I/usr/local/include
-I/usr/local/include -L/usr/local/lib conftest.c -lcups

There are a few more similar errors:

/home/austin/wine-git/conftest.c:196: undefined reference to

`pthread_get_stackaddr_np'
/home/austin/wine-git/conftest.c:196: undefined reference to
`pthread_get_stacksize_np'

Next up is the OpenSSL problem. Google tells me that you need to use
-lcrypto along with -lssl. I filed a wine bug
(http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16649) for this. Adding that
shuts it up, but there are still problems in the actual build. I think
we may need to include some other headers, but haven't looked yet.
There are a ton of errors like:
/usr/lib/libssl.so.11.0: undefined reference to `BIO_find_type'
/usr/lib/libssl.so.11.0: undefined reference to `EVP_enc_null'
/usr/lib/libssl.so.11.0: undefined reference to `EVP_CIPHER_CTX_init'

/usr/lib/libssl.so.11.0: undefined reference to `X509_STORE_get_by_subject'
/usr/lib/libssl.so.11.0: undefined reference to `lh_free'
...
etc.

libpng has a similar problem, the versions in pkg_add and ports seem
to be missing png.h. I tried installing from source, but it's munging
on zlib somehow:
/usr/local/lib/libpng.so.7.0: undefined reference to `deflate'
/usr/local/lib/libpng.so.7.0: undefined reference to `inflate'
/usr/local/lib/libpng.so.7.0: undefined reference to `inflateInit_'
...
etc.

though that's an error on my end.

If you try compiling after that, mostly compiles, though you get quite
a few compiler warnings. Launching any app (even wine --version)
results in a segfault, so there's quite a bit of work to be done
still.

Any advice/help appreciated.

Okay, maybe I worded my question wrong. Sure, I installed all

the problem of the update failing now. As I said before, I've
tried to check every conceivable thing I could come up with
that might be causing it and am still coming up emtpy. Weird.
And, IIRC, I did have to get it kicked off originally manually.
Just for fun I just copied the original empty file to /var/db/

-r--r--r--  1 root wheel 0 Dec 28 15:16  locate.database

and ran weekly again. Did a listing from another term to show
it had started and was trying:

-rw--- 1 root  wheel  0  Dec 28 15:19  locate.database.Hojrmm6565

After about 10 seconds it failed again. I ran top to watch how
much load it was creating, not that it ever came anywhere near
what it does while kernel or userland building, but just to see
at what point it failed in case it would help someone else who
was trying to help with the problem.

point here. For the record, here's the locate portion of weekly
to show that nothing's been altered. I decreased the indentation
to keep within 72 characters: 

echo 
if [ -f /var/db/locate.database ]; then
  TMP=`mktemp /var/db/locate.database.XX`
  if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
  trap 'rm -f $TMP; exit 1' 0 1 15
  echo Rebuilding locate database:
  UPDATEDB=/usr/libexec/locate.updatedb
  echo ${UPDATEDB} --fcodes=- --tmpdir=${TMPDIR:-/var/tmp} | \
  nice -5 su -m nobody 2/dev/null 1$TMP
  if [ -s $TMP ]; then
  chmod 444 $TMP
  chown root:wheel $TMP
  mv -f $TMP /var/db/locate.database
  else
  echo Not installing locate database; zero size
  fi
  else
  echo Not rebuilding locate database; can't create temp file
  fi
else
  echo Not rebuilding locate database; no /var/db/locate.database
fi


I'm just wondering, since perl moved to a new number if something's
changed there that's causing the problem. At that point I wouldn't
know what to do. I did check ulimit to see what the settings were.
As a user I get

time(cpu-seconds)unlimited
file(blocks) unlimited
coredump(blocks) unlimited
data(kbytes) 524288
stack(kbytes)4096
lockedmem(kbytes)166098

and as root

time(cpu-seconds)unlimited

stack(kbytes)8192

re0 panic on 24 December snapshot

2008-12-28 Thread Bryan
Greetings,

I am installing i386 -current on my new box, and I've come into a
panic on startup.  Installation via tftp went without a hitch using
re0 to install.  After installation, upon start-up, I receive the
following:

mtrr: Pentium Pro MTRR support
panic: config_detach: forced detach of re0 failed (45)
Stopped atDebugger+0x4: leave

I can't give you more than that because the USB quits working at that
point and I'm forced to hard shutdown.  After this occurred, I went to
UKC and set disable re, and the system was able to boot.

I'm running GENERIC.MP, and have tried booting GENERIC.SP, but it also
panics at the same point.  Once started up, I also cannot get the zyd0
USB wireless nic to connect to my wpa2 network. It works fine and can
connect when using That Other OS. Fortunately, I've a rum(4) that
works flawlessly.

I'm subscribed to the list. please ask questions.  This is more of a
nuisance, since I've installed the OS, I can use wireless to connect
to the internet.  But I looked in my mail archive in the last year or
so, and have not seen anything like the problem I'm having...  hell,
this box doesn't even have a serial port... :(

Regards,
Bryan

I've been seeing this on a 4.3 box.  After reading your email, and
seeing that I'm not the only one with the issue, I've been playing
with it today.

After making backups of all the scripts involved (/etc/weekly and
/usr/libexec/locate.*), I took out the 2 /dev/null and trap ...
stuff to be able to see all the errors, and have the various temporary
file left behind for analysis.

If I run it manually (as root, sh /etc/weekly), it fails with the
find in locate.updatedb giving the error find: .:: Permission

PREVPWD=$PWD; cd /tmp in /etc/weekly before the call to
locate.updatedb, and cd $PREVPWD: after.

It now has run successfully both when invoked manually, and from cron.

I'm going to leave this debug configuration in place to see what
happens as time goes on.

Re: ifconfig chan to scan wireless encryption type?

yes, I am aware of kismet, aircrack and may other things to do this; I
was just wondering whether opernbsd's ifconfig can detect it too or
not
This is thought for a script to look for networks and systemise the

heavier weapons.

When this happened to me I eventually tracked it down to not having
enough room in /var/tmp, as that's where the weekly script has
locate.updatedb places its files by default.  The solution was to
redirect it to another directory that I knew would have enough space
by creating /etc/weekly.local with this line:
export TMPDIR=/data/tmp

The original poster said his /tmp has plenty of space, so he should try it with
export TMPDIR=/tmp


...
 If I run it manually (as root, sh /etc/weekly), it fails with the
 find in locate.updatedb giving the error find: .:: Permission
 denied.

That's not how cron runs it.  Cron runs it from /var/log and not
~root.  See that HOME=/var/log line near the top of the root
crontab?  It actually chdirs there when invoking the cron jobs.


  If I cd into /tmp first, it runs okay.  So I added
 PREVPWD=$PWD; cd /tmp in /etc/weekly before the call to
 locate.updatedb, and cd $PREVPWD: after.

Weird.  Unless your /var/log isn't accessible by 'nobody', that should
have had no effect.

Did you have TMPDIR set in your environment when you ran it manually?
How confident are you that it actually ran to completion from cron?

Thanks Dave  Philip, too, since I'm CC you, for the ideas and help.
Y'all will probably want to kick me in the ass when I explain what
was causing the problem. But, your messages helped me figure it out,
none the less, especially the part about changing directories before
running the command. When I recently went from 4.3 to 4.4  installed
a new crontab, I copied  pasted my own  root's stuff into their
respective crontabs from a backup. Wrong backup! There was 1 changed
line that I never noticed until I read your messages. The crontab for
root had HOME=/root  I can't remember why in the hell I changed that
one day farting around with something here. Long  the short is, I
copied from the wrong backup. I just changed it back to HOME=/var/log
 locate.updatedb from weekly works fine once again. My bad. I keep
voluminous notes  but that one just slipped through the cracks.
Sorry for the noise,  thanks for the help.

zombie shell processess at startup by hotplugd

2008-12-28 Thread frantisek holop
hi there,

i was wondering if some other people are seeing this as well.
on my eeepc i am booting openbsd from usb stick.  i am using
recent snapshots.  after startup when i login, very often i see
1..4 (sh) zombie processes with hotplugd's PID as PPID.
i am guessing these are /etc/hotplugd/attach scripts staying
for some reason.  my attach script is the one from the man
page with some extra logger(1) calls, i can post it if deemed
relevant.

anybody has an idea why?

Hi,

I installed 4.4 from the Cd and was wondering how can I get the latest  
PFlow pseudo device created using ifconfig.  I know 4.4 doesn't YET  
have support for the new pseudo device, but I believe its available on  
the latest current version on openbsd.  My question is how do I bring  
my installation up to the newest stable release?

Re: AuthPF removing all the states created from an IP

2008-12-28 Thread Derek
Hi,

Seeing the answer to my question I'm afraid I wasn't clear enough about the
purpose of it. I'm aware that authpf/pf is behaving as intended, I was just
wondering if any change on that is planned because I'm guessing that I'm not
the only one who would find useful to be able to keep the non authpf related
states for an IP address after logoff authpf.

My second question was more oriented to administrators who might want to
share their thoughts about the question like Johan did (I'm going to have to
test that one, thanks Johan).

Sadly System administrator here seems to be willing to act in
representation of all members of this list when he says:  [...] do not
expect anyone on this list to do your research for you. [...].

If everyone thought like him I think that the open source initiatives
wouldn't exist anymore, anyway I don't want to start a discussion about this
subject but keep it to the technical question which has been already asked,
so if you are not System Administrator you can most likely ignore the
coming lines on this email.

Completely agree with you, there is nothing more annoying that those purpose
less messages which doesn't ask properly and/or doesn't really answer
something.

 Had you read the authpf man page or  searched the list archives

That's right, I knew I should have read some documentation. What lucky that
my system is up and running  by merely crazy guessing the content of the
config files!

, you would have certainly realized that what  you are describing is
EXACTLY the intended
 behavior, in other words, your system is working exactly as it was
designed.

Oh, really? Because I was just thinking that there was a problem in
authpf No, wait, I haven''t said that, stop confusing me!


 Regarding your follow-up question: OpenBSD pf is a very powerful
 firewall sub-system and supports a number of viable work-arounds to
 accomplish what you want. However, unless you are offering to pay
 market-rate consulting fees, do not expect anyone on this list to do
 your research for you.

Now is when I should send you a private message with my credit card number
on it?

 Hello,

 Seeing that nobody is answering to the question below I'd add: Is there
 anybody who uses authpf in the same scenario? Does it behave like in my
 case? Any suggestion to keep the states for the user after he/she closes
the
 session?

 Thank you.

  Hi list,
 
  I'm using authpf to allow external users to access to certain
restricted
  services within our network. This network hosts public services as
well,
  this is services which are open to all internet.
 
  The thing is that after some tests I realized that a client who has an
  authpf session opened and uses both, the autpf-protected service and
the
  public service, gets disconnected of all services when he/she closes
the
  authpf session.
 
  Looking a little bit closer I can see that all the states created by an
IP
  address are removed when the user from that IP closes the authpf
session so
  the states created by the authpf rules but also the ones created by the
  regular pf.conf rules disappear from the table.
 
  I guess that this is because there is only one states table and it
could be
  difficult to know which states are genereated by which rules.
 
  The question is, is there any plan to label or mark the states so will
be
  possible in the future for the non-authpf states to survive the authpf
  session?
 
  Thank you all.
 
  Derek.

OpenBSD + Tablet PC = functional tablet and pen using linuxwacom driver

2008-12-28 Thread _azure
With some pointers from jcs@, I've written a short document detailing
my experience enabling the Wacom Penabled tablet on the Thinkpad X41.
These instructions should work for most Tablet PC serial tablets 
supported by the linuxwacom driver. Post-installation, the tablet
features all seem to be working normally.
