rotating apache logs

2006-03-30 Thread Peter
Hi.  What is the best way to rotate apache logs on OpenBSD?  Ideally I
would like to create a new one at the beginning of each month.  I
searched my system for logrotate and could not find it.

Hi.  I have written a shell script designed to run on an OpenBSD
firewall that accumulates lan traffic stats (inbound and outbound) and
outputs the results in HTML.  I would like to share this with the
community and hopefully it can be improved.  I am not a programmer but
it seems to work and maybe this can help someone.  It has some
constraints and limitations as well as one bug I cannot identify (I get
a negative number show up at seemingly random times).

Anyone who is interested please let me know and I will send it to you.

OpenBSD as Virtualbox guest

Are you talking about the "install ISO's" like cdrom.iso or floppy.iso?
If so, yes, I can use them.  I thought I needed a full-blown release
ISO.

I am also stuck at launching the virtualbox interface itself.  I get
either a segmentation fault if started using a non-priv user or
an 'authentication rejected' error if I 'su -c virtualbox'.  I have
tried the usual trick of 'xhost +' as the non-priv user and then su to
root and 'virtualbox' but I get the 'cannot connect to X server' stuff.
Any help appreciated.  I am dying to boot up OBSD on this thing.

Neither OpenBSD 4.0 nor FreeBSD 6.2 work.  OpenBSD panics very early and
FreeBSD panics during installation procedure.  I'm frustrated because

pkg_add gives error and then installs

2007-03-03 Thread Peter
I am scripting (sh) some package installs on an updated (today) OpenBSD 
4.0-STABLE system and I am getting errors even when the pkg_add command 
ultimately succeeds and installs the packages.

The shell script in question and sample output:

export PKG_PATH=ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/4.0/packages/i386/
for i in bash \
   wget
do
pkg_add $i
done

Error from ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/4.0/packages/i386/:
Unknwn command.
wget-1.10.2p0 complete

BTW, I am also having trouble specifying a package whose name contains 
version numbers like:

cvsup-16.1h-no_x11

I would rather include this in my for loop as:

cvsup-*-no_x11

My attempts to escape the glob character have been futile ("cannot 
resolve"):

cvsup-\*-no_x11

and putting the $i in double quotes doesn't help.

Thanks for any pointers.

The point is that inside the loop I prompt the user whether to install
or not.  I also have a much longer list of packages that what I gave.

trouble making an X release

2007-03-04 Thread Peter
I am following FAQ 5.5 on building an X release (for my 4.0 system).

I have successfully made the base system release but when following the 
below steps I get the error:

lndir: ../XF4: No such file or directory
make: don't know how to make build. Stop in /usr/Xbld.
make: don't know how to make release. Stop in /usr/Xbld.

I manually created the XF4 directory but it still didn't work:

make: don't know how to make build. Stop in /usr/Xbld.
make: don't know how to make release. Stop in /usr/Xbld.

What am I missing?



# rm -rf /usr/Xbld

Ha.  Not used to downloading other than src, sys, and ports.

Anyway, I got it and I had it compiling for about an hour until I hit a
snag:

PKG_PATH pain

2007-03-07 Thread Peter
Hi everyone.

I have a local FTP server that contains many packages.  When doing an install 
I want my pc to first check this server before going onto the net.  I have 
set up the following in a shell script on the pc being installed:

LAN_FTP=192.168.3.11
OS_V0=$(uname -r)
PKG_PATH=ftp://$LAN_FTP/OpenBSD/$OS_V0/packages/:ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/$OS_V0/packages/i386/
export PKG_PATH
pkg_add -v postfix

The thing is that pkg_add wants to go directly to the internet site instead of 
the local one:

Error from ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/4.0/packages/i386/:
Unknown command.
Ambiguous: postfix could be postfix-2.3.2 postfix-2.3.2-ldap

postfix-2.4.20060727-ldap postfix-2.4.20060727-mysql 
postfix-2.4.20060727-sasl2

But my server contains postfix-2.3.2.tgz:

$ lftp 192.168.3.11
lftp 192.168.3.11 ~ > cd OpenBSD/4.0/packages/

Yes, that works.  Except that I get the situation that I want to avoid:
missing dependencies.  That's why I want that 2nd FTP site in my PKG_PATH:

pkg_add with a) dubious packages and b) multiple packages

2007-03-08 Thread Peter
On my 4.0 STABLE box I am trying to use pkg_add to install multiple packages 
with one command:

pkg_add -vi cabextract \
 colortail \
 db \
 expiretable \
 gnupg \
 gtar \
 ncftp \
 p0f \
 unzip \
 wget \
 zap

but I have found that if a package is dubiously named (such as "db") then it 
hangs with:

"Ambiguous: db could be db-3.1.17p6 db-4.2.52p8"

If I go:

pkg_add -vi db

then I get:

Ambiguous: db could be db-3.1.17p6 db-4.2.52p8
Choose one package
 0: 
 1: db-3.1.17p6
 2: db-4.2.52p8

I'm sorry.  I mistyped.  That should have been "ambiguous" instead
of "dubious".

But I did use interactive mode.

Later I discovered that when it hangs (like it does) I just need to hit Enter
and it continues on as expected.

updating installed ports

On 4.0, besides uninstalling ports, updating the ports tree, and re-installing

Are you serious?  I thought that was only for straight packages.  It actually
fetches code from third party repositories?  The pkg_add man page could be
clearer but I see it now in ports(7).

AFAIK,

In this context, a 3rd party repository is a place that dishes out code that
is independent of OpenBSD.  I just installed the unarj port and I remember it
downloading stuff from some weird Russian site.  I guess that's one example.

A "straight" package is a binary kit that is put together by the OpenBSD team.
Not one that is subsequently built by the port system.

So when I apply 'pkg_add -u' to a package that was installed through a port I
am not getting and compiling source code (what happened when I made the
original install) but an actual updated binary?  Or am I still missing
something?

Ok.

What I am messing with here is the clamav package.  Very common indeed.  Now
clamav depends on unarj which does not exist as a package.  So I install it
via ports.  I am trying to figure out how to make an eventual update of
clamav and hence of unarj.  From what I understand, 'pkg_add -u' will not
work on this particular port due to licensing so, from your post, I update
archivers/unarj via, say, cvsup, and then 'make update'?

mailman problems: group mismatch error and aliases

2007-03-20 Thread Peter
On 4.0 I have installed mailman (flavour postfix):

$ pkg_info | grep mailman
mailman-2.1.8p3-postfix mailing list manager with web interface

But I still get the infamous group mismatch error:

Group mismatch error.  Mailman expected the mail wrapper script to be executed 
as group "_mailman", but the system's mail server executed the mail script as 
group "nobody".  Try tweaking the mail server to run the script as 
group "_mailman", or re-run configure,  providing the command line option 
`--with-mail-gid=nobody'. )

I have read that this has been fixed since 3.8.

Also, where does the OpenBSD mailman package store its list management 
aliases?  I tried /var/spool/mailman/data/aliases.  I can't seem to get 
mailman to generate aliases automatically.  This is what I have put in 
mm_cfg.py:

add_virtualhost( 'mailman.domain.com' )
MTA = 'Postfix'
POSTFIX_ALIAS_CMD = '/usr/local/sbin/postalias'
POSTFIX_MAP_CMD = '/usr/local/sbin/postmap'

Once I edited this file I received an error when trying to create a list 
("We're sorry, we hit a bug!").

Thanks for any help,

i got me one of those. works like a charm. i'm still having a weird issue

maybe it needs a bios-upgrade, but as i don't usually powerdown (reboot is

ntpd not synching

2007-03-27 Thread peter
hi,

i'm trying to keep my local clock synched through ntpd. i used to do
that with ntpdate, but since ntpd is available in a standard install
i thought i'd try that. i start ntpd at boot, with added -s to synch
the clock right away. however, after that it starts moving the clock 
backwards. restarting ntpd just makes it repeat the process :

$ date

any ideas ? it _has_ managed to keep the clock synched once,
but after a reboot it went completely bonkers. i tried removing
the drift-file and restarting it as well, to no avail. i'm
running 4.0-release, and the provided ntpd.

i tried, but it didn't help. i've fscked my disk enough for now...
when the symptoms occur, it hangs on 'Starting network', and nothing
happens. no link-lights on the nics, no way to interact with the machine
but the reset-switch.

one of the three times i tried, re0 came up, but it hung on re1, same
thing. weird. i also noticed that the link-lights are on during POST,
and go off when the kernel inits the nics. then they just never come
on again. the same thing happens with a 'normal' boot (one that does
succeed), with the important difference that the link-lights come on
when 'Starting network' is displayed...

to be complete :

/etc/hostname.re0 :

dhcp NONE NONE NONE media 100baseTX mediaopt full-duplex

/etc/hostname.re1 :

inet 192.168.1.3 255.255.255.0 NONE media 100baseTX mediaopt full-duplex

dynamic addresses and ipsec.conf

3.9 clamav package broken?

2007-02-15 Thread Peter
I have a 3.9 system running clamav and freshclam chroot and I wanted to 
update clamav from 0.88.4 to 0.88.7.  So I...

i) stopped the clamd and freshclam daemons
ii) removed clamav package with pkg_delete
iii) installed the newer clamav with pkg_add

I then used ldd to locate what I need to put in my $CHROOT for clamd.  I 
was missing libclamav.so.2.0 so I copied it into $CHROOT.  I started 
clamd fine after using ldconfig.  But I encountered trouble when doing 
the same for freshclam:

When starting freshclam outside $CHROOT it works but it does not when

As is common, the thread has degenerated after being massaged by the

RAIDframe question

Can anyone lend a hand in this important matter?

There are some more seemingly good raid related messages after that but
the machine is now at a remote location and I do not see any messages

dmesg).

Oh that's a relief.  Yes, now I see in /etc/rc the raid commands.  So I
should leave everything as is?

Side question:
I tried unsuccessfully using the same procedure to set up two disks (sd0
and sd1) attached to a QLogic FibreChannel controller (isp driver).  I
probably don't have the correct terminology but upon startup the boot code
could not be found (would not get beyond the point where the kernel
usually kicks in).  I'm wondering whether RAIDframe has limitations with
this hardware.

A common debugging approach is to log on all block rules and then identify
which rule is blocking the traffic.

So add the log keyword to your block rules, reload your set, activate the
pflog0 interface, and then tcpdump:

# ifconfig pflog0 up
# tcpdump -i pflog0 -qtne host

Sounds like you want to set up a remote logging server.  The OpenBSD man
page is surprisingly incomplete in this area so I'm redirecting you over
to the FreeBSD site.

http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=syslog.conf&apropos=0&sektion=0&manpath=FreeBSD+5.4-RELEASE&format=html

Look for the '+' and '@' signs.

But you could have googled yourself.



ssh remote execution: PATH

2006-02-12 Thread Peter
Hi, I on 3.8 invoke ssh in order to run a command on a remote host:

$ ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] command

The annoyance is that I must specify the absolute path:

$ ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] /usr/local/sbin/command

The PATH of the user (given in ~/.profile) contains /usr/local/sbin but
evidently this file remains unread.

Is there any way to not have to supply the entire path short of
recompiling ssh?

hardening openbsd firewall

2006-03-07 Thread Peter
Hi.  I've set up several firewalls with OpenBSD but I have yet to go to
any extremes regarding "hardening".  So far I have updated the source
(stable), recompiled the system & kernel, removed the source code,
turned off inetd, and set up a tight pf.conf.  I have been reading up
on an interesting strategy of removing tons of executables, storing
them on a cd, and setting up symlinks to the cd mount point so they can
be accessed when needed.

My firewall will be providing internet access (NAT) to a small office
lan (not mine).

What strategies are others using in this area?

I am using rsync.  It also works well.  I wrote small scripts (windows
side) for users to back up at their discretion.  Since they are
actually synchronizing it doesn't take long at all (akin to saving work
in Word or whatever whenever you want).

I did hear of the caching feature so I unplugged the power but only for
about 10 seconds.  Five minutes you say?

I don't see any logs being generated except for it not being able to
find a dhcp server.  On one occasion only did I see something to the
effect "accepted blah length not same as blah length."  Like what it
received was not the length of what is was supposed to receive.

Well I unplugged for a good five minutes and still nothing.  Indeed, I
first heard of this caching from one of their technicians and I was
instructed to simply unplug the power cable; he did not specify a
timeout.

The device is a telephony modem (the users have opted for the videotron
"trio": cable-telephone, cable-tv, and cable-internet).  It is an Arris

Ok folks.  This *was* a MAC caching issue.  I was able to reset this
particular modem by inserting a pin into the reset orifice.  I presume
I could have achieved this by unplugging the power cable AND removing
the battery.  So dhclient on OpenBSD 3.8 *does work* although I
continue to receive a bad length type of message.  Here is the session:

# dhclient sis1
DHCPDISCOVER on sis1 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 8
DHCPDISCOVER on sis1 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 14

DHCPOFFER from 10.206.182.1
DHCPREQUEST on sis1 to 255.255.255.255 port 67

accepting packet with data after udp payload.
DHCPACK from 10.206.182.1

I will try to use the '-u' switch and see if that will get rid of the

What sort of testing?  About feelings, it depends on what is installed
and how it is installed.  You can use, for instance, a compact flash
card, a 3.5" (laptop) hard drive, or a combination of these (I think). 
I am running on only a 128 MB CF card so it is difficult to have a full
install (I don't have full functionality but today's affordable large
capacity CF cards make full installs possible).  Flash allows me to
unplug the unit any time and not worry about disk problems.  Typically
the Soekris is used for some kind of gateway but you cannot expect it
to handle a large network since it has resource limitations (cpu, ram).
 So these are some examples of the differences you may encounter. 
Other than that, my system performs very well on a small lan and I am
very happy.  Here is my df:

Filesystem SizeUsed   Avail Capacity  Mounted on
/dev/wd0a  118M   21.7M   90.0M19%/
mfs:30147  7.8M100K7.3M 1%/tmp

Nope.  It's very stable.

Currently, as my first post showed, I'm only using 100 kB of my MFS. 
All logs are sent to a remote station.

Honestly I cannot find anything wrong with the Soekris.  I realize it
has its power/load limitations (which I have yet to challenge on my
lan).

Is it possible to add pppoe to a bridge?

2008-09-10 Thread Peter
Even if a bridge is empty it seems impossible to add pppoe to it. This 
doesn't change if the first bridge member has an MTU identical to that 
of the pppoe interface (thank you to Martin  Reindl for a patch 
enabling  mtu changes on  Sun quad  ethernet). For my own, and anyone 
else's reference, the bridge's own MTU is hardcoded to ETHERMTU (1500).


Now, I can go through the source to if_bridge.c and find the definitive 
answer, but I thought I'd ask here in case anyone had an immediate 
answer, even if delving into the depths of OpenBSD is new knowledge for 
me. The bridge and brconfig man pages aren't illuminating in this regard.

To answer my own question. No, it's not possible as the source seems to 
prohibit this.


It's trivial to change the source to force it to accept PPPoE

Kernel debugging setup - pccom vs com and failed mappings?

2008-09-24 Thread Peter
I'm trying to set up a virtualised qemu OpenBSD kernel debug 
environment, with a reasonable amount of success, but am running into 
the following problem on bootup :


com1: at isa0 port 0x2f8/8 irq 3panic: com_isa_attach: mapping failed
The operating system has halted

Presumably because the kernel debugger is already using it (it attaches 
fine after the initial boot -d). I note that in a non debug kernel it's 
referring to pccom instead of straight com... I imagine I'm doing 
something wrong?


My kernel config file is :

include "arch/i386/conf/GENERIC"

rmoption DDB
makeoptions DEBUG="-g"
option KGDB
option "KGDB_DEVNAME=\"com\"",KGDBADDR=0x2f8,KGDBRATE=19200

/etc/ttys has

tty01 "/usr/libexec/getty std.19200" unknown off local

(but it's not getting that far, is it?).

Do I need to rebuild the kernel with


option "KGDB_DEVNAME=\"pccom\"",KGDBADDR=0x2fs,KGDBRATE=19200

Perhaps? Or is this a virtualisation issue? I'm using qemu 0.91 under 
Vista x64 with redirected serial ports (-serial tcp:address>:,server,nowait)


Thanks!

Non-functional battery stuck at 55% on ThinkPad T420 upgrade since 5.6-stable upgrade

2014-11-05 Thread Peter
Hello all,

Since upgrading to 5.6-stable my ThinkPad T20 battery doesn't work. The
OS recognizes the battery but it's stuck at 55% and won't recharge. It
won't boot without AC power. I'm running apmd(8) without modifications.
Did I forget some option when I reinstalled? Any help would be greatly
appreciated.

Thanks,
Peter

4.4 release freezes

2008-11-05 Thread peter
hi,

i've been running 4.4 release since the cd's arrived, and have
experienced 3 freezes/crashes since then. first time was when i
was enabling wpa2psk on the ral0 interface, second time when simply
running a vnc session, and the third directly after te reboot following
the second freeze. 

symptoms : 2 times i had no response at all in any way. not through
network, not through console (keyboard didn't even respond). once,
it was still routing packets and responding to icmp, but the console
froze after logging in. in all cases there were no entries in any log
after rebooting.

4.3 ran fine, the ral0 card is a recent addition (and hence suspect).
any pointers on how to debug this ? i'm gonna runs memtest over the
weekend, and i might disable the ral-interface for a while, but that
probably won't get me much...

dmesg attached below...

Yes. VMWare Server, VirtualPC and Qemu all run OpenBSD fine including X. 
In addition VMWare Server and Qemu definitely allow virtualised kernel

Anyway, we've already had a fairly conclusive ZFS answer. It can't be 
integrated into base OpenBSD because the license is incompatible. The 
license is
unlikely to change. Implementing it from the specifications has licence 
issues, is hard and bug prone.


A kernel module can use the code - all it needs is someone to volunteer 
(sorry, not me : not interested). There's then nothing stopping someone 
creating
a minor OpenBSD fork with the integrated module ZFS support, if they 
need it from installation time that badly.

Testing bigmem properly on amd64?

2010-04-14 Thread Peter
I know bigmem is still in a state of flux and can be enabled by editing 
machdep.c and compiling a custom kernel.


I also realise that it may or may not work on OpenBSD AMD64 due to the 
absence of an iommu on non VT-d capable Intel systems, aside from the 
AGP/PCI-e GART.


What's the best way to test and report this? (GNATS etc?) Is booting up 
sufficient, or does it require extensive testing of memory transfers 
from each device to above the 4GB line?


FWIW, with the latest kernel UHCI and AHC (specifically an Adaptec 29160 
running in a 32 bit PCI slot) don't work on a 975X/Core2Quad system. 
Once that's fixed the system boots. (iic also needs to be disabled, but 
that's an issue specific to the D975XBX2 motherboard, not to bigmem).

No, I mean compressed. The tape is analogue, it's then captured to a 
compressed digital format with the
capture card offloading the task from the CPU. It's entirely possible to 
work directly with compressed
video and it'll be much lighter on CPU and I/O than capturing in raw 
format. Ideally you want
hardware that can capture in your chosen format, so that lengthy 
transcoding time is not required
and (if you're fussy - doesn't really apply in the case of VHS) there's 
no quality loss in the final product.
n particular, my (limited) experience is that video capture on TV cards 
is A Bit Shit, and capturing uncompressed video is not fun, even if 
modern hardware is probably adequate to handle it.



After consulting other video people, I will use a digital video camera
that can take analog input from a VCR and save it.
  


Sounds wise. Inputing via firewire should be a lot easier than faffing 
around with analogue capture

Not only are the frequently used keys closer together but the keyboard 
is also arranged so that alternate hands are used to type subsequent 
letters.


The only disadvantages are if you're left handed (in the standard layout 
more emphasis is placed on the right hand), and that even official 
Dvorak keyboards and layouts within operating systems do not use 
Dvorak's original number layout.


I started with software remapping of a standard keyboard and now use a 
hard wired 'Dvorak UK' buckling spring keyboard from Unicomp. It's a 
lovely piece of kit, albeit lighter than the IBM Model M and not exactly 
cheap on shipping. I can't say whether the Dvorak number layout is an 
improvement because I never bothered learning that part (neither can I 
properly touchtype on the number pad on QWERTY), but the standard 
keyboard layout is lovely to use and feels much better in operation, 
never mind the likely reduction in RSI.


It's a bit of a pain in the arse in vi or Wordstar/joe, though..

it detects and reports it just fine for proper mp3s (with ID3 headers),
