OpenBSD 3.7 in a virtualpc-machine
Hi. Maybe the wrong side of the coin, but I think this list is right for that than [EMAIL PROTECTED] I tried to install OpenBSD on my iBooks VirtualPC 6 for several times now, anytime just a processor failure when installing the base-packages. Maybe this will be fixed in version 7, a friend of mine will test this soon. Googeling around brought no enligthenment to me. So any suggestions by your person? Thanks and some special weekend regards, Thorsten

Not for it's user friendliness, but because it works for me. I've seen better ones, I've seen worse. I'm right in the middle of installing 3.7 via serial port B on a Sun Ultra 10. I LOVE the OpenBSD installer. Installs from CD in minutes. If I make a mistake, Ctrl-C and run the install script again. Gorgeous. I really have to second this. The OpenBSD installer is great. The other day I got two Dell 2850 delivered. They will be our new firewall machines. Within 10 minutes I had the OS installed on both machines and we could start testing them. It is just so simple and efficient. The best part it is not some scaled down version of the OS you get but it is the full system. cheers, Nickus

I do like the installer though, I'm serious. I'm right in the middle of installing 3.7 via serial port B on a Sun I LOVE the OpenBSD installer. I really have to second this. The OpenBSD installer is great. I had to laugh when I overheard two friends who typically work with Windows OSs comparing how fast they'd been able to install a server OS. I subsequently went and installed a test web server in under 10 minutes (after which I started messing around, hosed a bunch of stuff, and had to spend the next 10 minutes installing again) -Josh

Hi all,
I'm runnig 3.7-release on i386 with a 512MB CF card acting as wd0 and
I'm having a strange problem with mfs mounted /var. It gets mounted
twice, while I have only one mfs /var line in fstab.
I did a usual install directly on CF (hence all partitions physically
exist on CF) and wanted to mfs mount /var and /tmp based on existing
partitions. If I do it from command line (boot single user or edit fstab
not to mount /var) mfs /var is mounted only once. But if I enable it in
fstab it always gets mounted twice. Check it out:
(btw, there is no swap space the system has 64MB of ram so it should
all fit in nicely)
(and ignore the noatime stuff, currently I'm running the box with rw
mouned /var directly from the CF, and it made no difference regarding
the problem)
Help please?

It's only a stone's throw from OpenBSD (at least considerably closer than any Linux I've ever seen) and XFree86 has DRI and native support for many vidcards. I have 3D accel working great on my Radeon 7500 using the native (not written by ATI) drivers. If 3D gaming is a priority then that is unlikely to be good enough for todays games. The native DRI driver only handles older cards, to get 3D acceleration support for later cards you have to used the closed source vendor driver which pretty much forces you down the Linux path unless you can bear to run windows. Good luck getting ATI cards and Linux to play nicely... the ATI drivers for Linux are not the best, it's a bit hit or miss as to if they work or not in a particular machine. -- Brett Lymn
Stephanie for OpenBSD 3.6 released
Stephanie for OpenBSD 3.6 is released - Introduction Stephanie is an OpenBSD hardening package. It's compiled of kernel and userland patches that when used add several security features. In this version included are: - Vexec: Verify file integrity before executing/opening it. - TPE: Prevent untrusted users executing files in untrusted locations. - Privacy: Privacy extensions, in-kernel and userland. What's new? --- - Vexec: Mostly rewritten. Now uses hash tables to store data, introducing O(1) performance in best case and O(n) where 'n' is number of inodes that produce same hash on a given device in worst case. Noting the recent collision discovery in SHA-0, it's worth mentioning that Vexec offers 6 hash types (MD5, SHA1, SHA256, SHA384, SHA512, and RMD160 - all hash types supported by the OpenBSD 3.6 kernel) and it's design allows easy extensions for adding new hash types, if required. (read NEW_HASH) - Privacy: More privacy features. Namely, there are hooks in netstat, w, who, last, and finger. The output is filtered according to the features status. - The trustcheck(2) syscall has been removed; now interaction with Stephanie's settings - including trust status of current process - is done solely using sysctl. License --- Stephanie for OpenBSD 3.6 is mostly a rewrite. BSD-licensed code from NetBSD and Brett Lymn is no longer in use, so Stephanie moves to an ISC-style license, available in http://ethernet.org/~brian/Stephanie/doc/LICENSE Download at http://ethernet.org/~brian/Stephanie/ Support --- Please mail me with any questions, comments, bugs, and feedback in general. Remember - DO NOT MAIL OPENBSD MAILING LISTS WITH QUESTIONS ABOUT STEPHANIE! unless you really want to. Anyway, CC me if you do. Make sure you've read stephanie(7) after installation is complete. Credits --- Stephanie for OpenBSD 3.6 was written and is maintained by br1an. Send your feedback to [EMAIL PROTECTED]. Thanks to Eli Klein, Rod Cordova, and super. -b.
