The ones that remain are much more difficult, and will require design of actual in-kernel sysctl data structures that collect information. The larger problem with netstat of course is that it is racing against the kernel memory image. It reads a pointer, reads where it points to, etc etc etc. It is walking lists. A number of similar problems have been solved in some other programs, for instance, dkstat, vmstat, and systat.

Note that I am not a fan of procfs for a variety of similar reasons. It is not just racey, but it supplies partial snapshots of memory. At least sysctl interfaces, once designed, are atomic.
kvm symbols
I am currently going through the netstat code, and I see it makes a lot of use of kvm. I take it that the preferred method for looking up kernel data would be sysctl. Now, I am stuck in the kvm code. I have no idea where I can find a list of kernel symbols that can be placed into nl struct. Is there is man page or header file that lists the kernel symbols and what they represent? sysctl has very good documentation and makes finding sysctl symbols easy. Thanks, Brian

Viewing socket owner
I have been playing around with netstat and found lots of strange (read uknown ports) udp connections. I wanted to know what processes where doing these connections. After reading the netstat man page I concluded that it can't do it. Google provided no useful information. So I wonder if there is a way to view the pid (or pgid) of the owner of a socket other than writing my own program to read kernel memory with kvm_*.

Can you help? This has nothing whatsoever to do with OpenBSD. Ask whomever made the computer, sold it to you, etc. Besides which, we're not mind readers.

Because it only finds a single xl(4) device. Still naming that device xl1 would be nonsense, for example when you just replaced a faulty card. The numbering order starts at 0, only taking into account devices that are present. I do not know of a way to fix a card (e.g. through its MAC address) to a specific device name. I can't say that I miss that behaviour (given the trouble a specific Linux install caused me when I had to replace a card). The above of course excludes the - unsupported - practice of trying to hardwire the device's location in the system through a custom-built kernel.

There are lots of things I don't know about the inner workings of OpenBSD. Of this, though I *am* sure: OpenBSD will never ``fork'' gcc. Oh, sure, there will probably always be OpenBSD-specific patches against it, or they may lag behind the current version, or what-not. But a fork? I just can't imagine it. Well, *maybe* if they moved gcc to this new version of the GPL everybody is talking about, but I can't really imagine that happening, either. In this distant, dim future I'm envisioning as gcc-less, I would expect Theo to either adopt TenDRA or roll his own compiler from scratch. I have no clue if TenDRA is anywhere close to being up to the task, and writing one's own is quite obviously about as mammoth a project as one could undertake. Notice how I started this paragraph with ``distant, dim future''? All in all, this topic is about as meaningful as us discussing petroleum replacements. Everybody knows that it'll have to happen some day, and perhaps even sooner than anybody really wants--though most would also be overjoyed to wave a magic wand and be done with it. There's a lot of pain between here and there and, while of utmost importance, it's also (currently) about as far from urgent as one can get. (Some day it will be very urgent, unless we discover that magic wand first.) >> This is pure WAG speculation, but I'd guess that the next OpenD >> would be OpenSMTPD [. . . .] > > Replacing Sendmail outright seems iffy at best. Search archives for > when this has been mentioned in the past, and you will get "no way in > hell" replies from Theo. Auditing and partitioning it, maybe. Again, you twist my words, and Theo's too, this time. I did *not* say that I expected a Sendmail replacement any time soon--quite the opposite. Let me put a definite limit on this: I'd bet no more than (a modest) lunch, and only on the condition that I already happened to be in the same city when the bet came due, that, the next time we see an OpenWHATEVER, it's an OpenSMTPD. We may not ever see another OpenWHATEVER, though that bunch just has too much fun hacking for me to imagine that. There may well be something like OpenNTPD that somebody like Henning is quietly working on--and, in fact, this is more likely to be the case than any particular specific thing. Yes, Theo has been quite vociferous about Sendmail replacements. You'll note, however, that in every one of those threads, Theo is responding to people demanding that he replace Sendmail with some specific other MTA. There is no way in hell that Qmail, for example, will ever go in OpenBSD. You'll also note that Theo has never said one word about writing his own MTA. Let me stress that: Theo has been ABSOLUTELY SILENT. He has said NOT ONE WORD. I would be damned surprised if he ever did--unless, of course, it was to say, ``Hey guys, foo@ has done some great work in writing OpenSMTPD for us. Grab a snapshot and help test it for us.'' All the speculation here is MINE. I'm doing a bit of Kremlinology, is all. It doesn't take a genius to notice all of Sendmail's warts. Of the items remaining in /usr/src/gnu, it's got the most license problems. In the past, warty code with undesirable licenses has been a prime target for replacement. All I'm really saying is that Sendmail is the wartiest piece of code left with a problematic license. And why should *you* care whether or not any of this ``scales.'' Managing the project is Theo's worry, not yours, and he's shown himself to be damned capable of doing so. Besides, which do you think is easier: maintaining your own code that you know better than anybody else, or maintaining somebody else's code that you have to work to figure out? And I know from personal experience that, when you get the code right in the first place, you don't have to do anywhere near as much to maintain it. Cheers, b& P.S.

Re: 4 NIC problem
I'm certain I'm using the right cabling. Right now my ifconfig -a displays: xl0: flags=8843 mtu 1500 lladdr 00:10:4b:24:40:a0 media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX full-duplex) status: active inet 192.168.3.1 netmask 0xff00 broadcast 192.168.3.255 inet6 fe80::210:4bff:fe24:40a0%xl0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1 which is my original NIC. As you can see I no longer have the interface of mac address 00:60:08:0d: 8c:4c (previously xl0) But why would the system act like this in the first place?

Which is hardly surprising, considering the system does not detect a carrier on xl1 as it does on xl0. Verify that the cables and interfaces match.

4 NIC problem
Hi All, I'm running an old dell 2300/350 with OBSD3.7. I have 3 interfaces (xl0, fxp0 and wi0) attached to it. I decided to add another interface xl1.

If I removed xl0 (physically), I can ping xl1. Thank you

There weren't *too* many people who initially responded, so I'm not sure of the funds that can be raised, but I did get more than 0, which was a surprise. There are patches to add IPv6 support to the 1.3.x, but they break pretty much all the 3rd-party modules. -d

Whether you actually sent such a packet I don't know, seems if PF were keeping state this packet wouldn't be blocked if you had sent the earlier packet. Could it be that a packet to 172.17.217.168 took the default route and the 203 address is a border router?
