Building READMEs

2005-07-05 Thread viq
How much of OpenBSD's infrastructure is needed for building ports' READMEs? 
I'd like to build them on another box that is running linux - any pointers on 
what i need to have, besides the ports tree itself? Because that by itself is 
not enough...

Thanks in advance

pf and two ISPs

2005-07-05 Thread Dmitry Andrianov
Hello.

Actually, I'm using FreeBSD but to my understanding pf came from OpenBSD
so I'm reporting my bug here.

The problem is that block return rules do not send packets using the
same interface the packet originally came from but use normal kernel
routng to send the RST packet. Nor there is ability to route these
packets manually by some additional pf rules.

We have two ISPs - one on fxp0 (1.1.1.1) second on fxp1 (2.2.2.2). First
ISP's router is our default gateway. As result when packet comes from
the second ISP and gets blocked, TCP RST packet goes to the first ISP
router. And ISP router discards the packet because neither source nor
destination address is within the provider network (provider considers
it a spoofing). As result, return-rst just do not work at all.

I believe there should be an option to return RST/icmp packets using the
same interface original packet came from.

Regards,
Dmitry Andrianov

Hello,



I'm not sure about the notebook, but most intel wifi cards are supported

by the iwi driver. Note that you must retrieve the firmware, as intel

will not allow re-distribution of it.

Not to deny you're having problems, but according to the CVS logs [1],
the issue of ami(4) generating ccb timeouts got fixed before 3.7 was
released. Since that moment, however, many revisions have taken place
on ami(4), so you may want to try a snapshot to see if the problem
persists.

hahaha. in one of my sleep deprived moments a couple years ago.. i was
messing with kernel compiles and such, when i mistakenly did... rm -rf

of course i immediately realized this and hit ctrl + c

needless to say, the box was unimportant (THANK GOD) and this was back
when 3.1 just got released. either way, the box ran for about a month
after that without any problems. then one day i wanted to add a user

Meh. The problem is, it's a 188 MHz box, so it takes about 8 hours to do so. 
Which i guess i can live with, but there is something i can't really live 
with - some time ago it started rebooting in the process. I suspect 
overheating, as the summer is coming, and i'm building the readmes right now 
(it's a rather warm day), so i should see whether that is a problem, or 
something else is/was. VMWare... I trade 8 hours and possible reboot for no 
reboot and 13 hours ;P So i was hoping for a way to do it on linux, but if 
you say it's much more effort than it's worth... Though i'm still somewhat 
tempted to give it a go.

IKE-mode is good but can be buggy with some clients. The best Windows

a) Safenet (OEM) SoftRemote version 10.x (versions 9.x do not support

very good support and stability and I believe is the best of the bunch.

Someone mentioned VMWare.  It's not a bad idea.  You could export the
filesystem read/write via NFS, mount it in the virtual machine running
OpenBSD (bochs and qemu are free alternatives to vmware), and make the

hmm, yes, remote filesystem is an idea. I did try running it in VMWare, but i 
am trying to find how to do it without resorting to virtual machines as the 
performance loss is terrible (8 hours 'natively' on 188 MHz, 13 hours in 
vmware on 672 MHz). As for whether it was the heat... I have no clue, that 
was my assumption, as it started happening as the winter was leaving, and i 
couldn't find any other explanation - not that i really knew where to look... 
But right now it's building already for 3 hours, and it's a rather warm day - 
so i don't know, that kind of undermines my heat theory. Maybe some software 
problem? I have no clue...  Well, there's 5 more hours to go, i'll see 
whether it'll finish. But it still would be nice to be able to get readme's 
in less than 1/3rd of the day ;)
As for taring the readmes up, there's even a neat script for that 
- /usr/ports/infrastructure/build/bundle-readmes :)

Alot of us CAN'T follow -current. I can't...Thats why i asked about 3.7.

Now, can someone out there (that uses 3.7-stable) with more than a

I thought I asked nicely and it was a legit question.

Perhaps someone on the list is using this and knows. Otherwise, I can

I think if you used Opera for 5 days you'd find it better in EVERY WAY
POSSIBLE than Firefox... My 2 cents. I find page loads to be much faster,
and nav is 10x faster with gestures and keyboard shortcuts.

Approach it with an open mind, not Firefox is the unstoppable browser

Dear folks,

my system desktop have a nvidia quadro nvs 280 dual head video board.
I would like to be able to have two users logged at the same time
using the system independently on each other, i.e., i have two
monitor, two keyboard and two mice.

Have any one already dreamed such configuration so far?
It that possible?

thanks for your suggestions.



It is. But it doesn't make sense. Read the xorg manpages.



Re: Flash Plugin for Firefox

2005-07-05 Thread Jason Smith
Yea, I can use Opera as well, but I also want to
figure out why the plugin doesn't compile with the
flash port and/or another method for getting flash up
in firefox.

 I think if you used Opera for 5 days you'd find it
 better in EVERY WAY
 POSSIBLE than Firefox... My 2 cents. I find page
 loads to be much faster,
 and nav is 10x faster with gestures and keyboard
 shortcuts.
 
 Approach it with an open mind, not Firefox is the
 unstoppable browser
 attitude, and as always YMMV

Re: Hidden restore space on laptop drives

2005-07-05 Thread Duncan Martin
You also might want to look into if the parition (or possibly another 
one used for the boot-menu + tools) is hidden using HPA.  My 
understanding of this is that the drive and controller conspire to 
misreport the size of the disc in terms of sectors so even the OpenBSD 
disc tools don't see the whole disc.


To get all of the space on my X31s drive I had to use a HPA remover 
tool.  You might find one on Google or failing that I can email you the 
one I used.


At least on my laptop scrubbing the HPA partition didn't do me any harm. 
 The boot options are still available, just in a less graphical form.

Re: Testing 3.6 problems w/ snapshot

 On a related subject, it's painful waiting 20 minutes for the RAID 1 array

20 minutes? Is that all? :) Waiting for parity to rebuild the last time my
RAID5 array (4x160GB IDE 5400RPM disks on a PCI IDE controller; very ghetto)
took ~14 hours. *sigh*

 to rebuild parity after a crash - I vaguely recall it being mentioned last
 year, but I can't find it in the archives or any mention in the man pages -
 is there a sane way to postpone the parity check?

This is what I did - as memory serves, it works, but I haven't tested it on
my live system. Not sure how sane this is (I wanted parity to rebuild, in
background, on a filesystem that's _not_ automounted, while the rest
of the boot process continues and the system comes up):
