Building READMEs
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...

pf and two ISPs
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

Re: OpenBSD on HP nx6110 notebook
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.

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 /etc instead of rm -rf etc 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 and found i couldn't. ah, the stupidity of working sleep deprived for days =/ On 7/4/05, viq [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Monday 04 of July 2005 21:25, Todd C.

Well, there's 5 more hours to go, i'll see whether it'll finish.

Re: Hidden restore space on laptop drives
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. Duncan
