Hi Federico,
I have A8V Deluxe and had similar problems when

Problems disappeared after I bought Linksys's KVM

We have a few of these motherboards in use and since we upgraded to
OpenBSD 4.0 they freeze from time to time, usually during high IO load
(disk or network).
Now I have upgraded my desktop PC (again with ASUS A8V motherboard)
that never had any stability problem. Now from time to time the PC
goes crazy: it usually freezes for a few seconds and then the mouse
start to rapidly move and click by itself. And a couple of time the PC
completely freezed.
Is there some known problem (maybe interrupts related) with this
motherboards (VIA K8T800 chipset)?
Thanks.

Hi , Maybe im wrong but to isolate each inside network to unique Public IP it's enough to create one pppoe session and add rest of ip addresses as aliases to tun0 interface and then set proper nat translation in pf.conflike ex: nat on $Ext0 from 192.168.0.0/24 to any -> $IP0 nat on $Ext0 from 192.168.1.0/24 to any -> $IP1 nat on $Ext0 from 192.168.2.0/24 to any -> $IP2 nat on $Ext0 from 192.168.3.0/24 to any -> $IP3 EXT0 = tun0 IP0-3 = public ips -- > Good ideas and examples are most welcome. > > Thanks, > > Randy @ RTMX > > [demime 1.01d removed an attachment of type APPLICATION/DEFANGED which had > a name of randy.20304DEFANGED-vcf] > > cheers Jacek
Where to buy SysKonnect NICs in the UK ?
I'm looking for some NICs for some OBSD firewalls. After scanning the archives (and lurking on the list) SysKonnect appear to be a well regarded and supported brand of NIC in the OpenBSD arena. But I can't seem to find any resellers in the UK. Does anyone know of any suppliers in the UK for these cards ? Thanks, GTG

Using more then One External Link with PF ?
Well i have purchased another Internal Connection to provide my client computer
more speed to specific protocols & also its cheaper this way :)
Now i want to use my previous internet link "DSL" to provide only access to
specific protocols like Http, Https Dns etc etc. and use this one for all
protocols
but my current pf.conf doesn't provide this i try searching the web & could
only figure out this ...
intif="epic0"
extif="pcn0"
extif2="fxp0"
extad="192.168.0.2"
chadd="10.0.0.1"
ports = "22 53 80 443 "
table persist file "/etc/allowedclients"
nat on $extif inet proto {icmp, tcp, udp } from to any -> $extad
nat on $extif inet proto {tcp, udp } from to 192.168.0.1 port
{ $ports } -> (pcn0)
nat on $extif2 inet proto {tcp, udp } from to any -> (fxp0)
rdr on $intif proto tcp from to any port 80 -> $chadd port 8080
pass out on $extif inet proto { tcp, udp } from to any port {
$ports }
now the problem is that traffic is only directed to one link either cable or
dsl both links arent being used at a time.
Thank you
Happy New Year

I have had similar symptoms with my home PC, which I believe were due to the SATA controller. However, my problems started when I bought it about a year ago, then running 3.8-stable, so they were definitely not due to the 4.0 upgrade. Also, they occurred only when using the amd64 GENERIC.MP kernel (dual core cpu). Unfortunately I have not had the time to troubleshoot it properly. My problem was temporarily resolved by changing the boot drive to a standard IDE drive, and I have not had a lockup for several months. > Now I have upgraded my desktop PC (again with ASUS A8V motherboard) that > never had any stability problem.

A dangerous statement in the presense of labels
This looks correct to me. SU even specifies the empty command.
BTW, tech@ or bugs@ is better place to send diffs to.

Wanted: OpenBSD Systems Administrator
Hi Folks, I hope you will excuse the commercial nature of this post; I figured that this is the best place to find what we are looking for. Backcountry.com is seeking an OpenBSD and Linux systems administrator to join its Systems and Networks Engineering team. Qualified applicants will have solid experience configuring and maintaining OpenBSD- and Linux-based servers in a production environment. We're a close-knit group, so a positive, cooperative attitude and the ability to function as part of a team are extremely important. Requirements: * Configuring and maintaining OpenBSD and Linux in a 24/7/365 production environment * Solid UNIX systems and network security fundamentals * Excellent understanding of the OSI seven layer model and TCP/IP networking * Experience working with hardware and software RAID devices * Stateful packet filtering with pf and iptables * Configuration and tuning of Apache and PostgreSQL * Datacenter operations (cabling, racking, organizing) Additional Preferred Skills: * CARP, pfsync, VLANs, and trunking * Configuration of layer 3 managed switches, eg. Foundry FastIron * Configuration of layer 4-7 application switches, eg. Foundry ServerIron * Asterisk PBX; * GFS or other distributed file system technologies; Considerations: This position is based in Park City, Utah and is full-time and benefits eligible. Benefits include paid time off, paid holidays, floating holidays, subsidized medical insurance, voluntary coverage (dental, short-term disability, supplemental accident), 401K, annual profit sharing, employee gear discount, employee referral program, flexible hours, casual dress, discounted season passes, and transferable day ski passes. To Apply: Send resume, salary history, and answers to the following screening questions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "Systems Administrator" in the subject line. Screening Questions: 1. Based on the following statements (props to Lewis Carroll), answer the following questions: a. What can you logically conclude from these statements? b. Explain how you came to this conclusion (bonus points for using symbolic logic). The statements: * No birds, except ostriches, are 9 feet high. * There are no birds in this aviary that belong to anyone but me. * No ostrich lives on mince pies. * I have no birds less than 9 feet high. 2. Describe some differences between OpenBSD's and Linux's init(8). 3. Design a scalable e-mail architecture to support 1,000 users and 2MM+ incoming and 200,000 outgoing e-mails/day. You may be as brief or as verbose as you like. Architectural drawings, server, network, and software specs are encouraged but not required. 4. Your home network has a single pf-based firewall machine between your internal LAN and the general internet. The firewall machine has two network interfaces: external (sk0) and internal (sk1). This firewall takes a default-deny stance to *ALL* network traffic. You have a machine on your internal LAN, "puffy", that wants to talk to www.backcountry.com on TCP ports 80 and 443. Given the following pf macros, write the appropriate rule(s) that will allow puffy to surf www.backcountry.com: external_if="sk0" internal_if="sk1" puffy_ip="10.0.0.67" backcountry_ip="166.70.146.69" 5. What are your top three innate strengths that you don't even have to try at? 6. What is a genuine weakness that you strive to improve upon? (don't twist a positive into a negative) 7. What is your desired salary range? 8. Why do you want to work at Backcountry.com? We Are an Equal Opportunity Employer
Attempting to create sqlports2
Hi everyone, a little while back I wanted to create a web front-end to sqlports. Unfortunately I am not crazy about the database schema of sqlports so I'm trying to make a new script (based alot on mksqlitedb by Marc Espie) to generate a new database. Now I have a few questions concerning flavors/subpackages/all those kinds of things. At the moment I am a bit confused. I haven't looked at ports in awhile, but I was under the impression that there were categories (archivers, astro, audio, etc...) that contained ports, and the ports could have different 'flavors'. When I issue the make dump-vars command in /usr/ports, I realized that there's something I'm not quite understanding. Here are a few examples of what I mean: -- # cd /usr/ports/archivers/gtar/ # make show=FLAVORS static # make dump-vars archivers/gtar.PKGNAME=gtar-1.15.1p4 archivers/gtar.CONFIGURE_ARGS=--program-prefix=g --prefix='/usr/local' --sysconfdir='/etc' --mandir='/usr/local/man' --infodir='/usr/local/info' Now everything is about gtar in here. But if I do make dump-vars in /usr/ports/archivers, I'll get the following: ===> archivers/gtar archivers/gtar.PKGNAME=gtar-1.15.1p4 archivers/gtar.CONFIGURE_ARGS=--program-prefix=g --prefix='/usr/local' --sysconfdir='/etc' --mandir='/usr/local/man' --infodir='/usr/local/info' ===> archivers/gtar,static archivers/gtar,static.PKGNAME=gtar-1.15.1p4 archivers/gtar,static.CONFIGURE_ARGS=--program-prefix=g --prefix='/us I get 2 ports. Now the part that really confuses me, is that if I go see the /astro/abcde port, it says it has 1 flavor. But even if I do a make dump-vars in /usr/ports/astro I don't see 2 ports this time, I only see 1. And for those thatwant to me more confused, go look into /usr/ports/audio/festival and do a make dump-vars...you'll get a whole tree of ports. -- Is anyone willing to explain this to me? Thanks, JD

Yeah, I agree. Don't post job ads here. I also actually think the hiring process can be a little over-wrought. Here you subject a candidate to a brain teaser (bonus points for symbolic logic). I have to say after going through the market a few years back to get my current job, -it's asking a little much to put people through this stuff. I can honestly say as someone fully qualified, I simply pass on job offer situations that take it a little too far. As an employer, I really deplore it. Basically it's saying "I don't want to waste time on too many interviews, so i'll just put more pressure on the candidates in the early part of the selection process via 'screening'". Backcountry.com is seeking an OpenBSD and Linux systems administrator to join its Systems and Networks Engineering team. Qualified applicants will have solid experience configuring and maintaining OpenBSD- and Linux-based servers in a production environment. We're a close-knit group, so a positive, cooperative attitude and the ability to function as part of a team are extremely important. Requirements: * Configuring and maintaining OpenBSD and Linux in a 24/7/365 production environment * Solid UNIX systems and network security fundamentals * Excellent understanding of the OSI seven layer model and TCP/IP networking * Experience working with hardware and software RAID devices * Stateful packet filtering with pf and iptables * Configuration and tuning of Apache and PostgreSQL * Datacenter operations (cabling, racking, organizing) Additional Preferred Skills: * CARP, pfsync, VLANs, and trunking * Configuration of layer 3 managed switches, eg. Foundry FastIron * Configuration of layer 4-7 application switches, eg. Foundry ServerIron * Asterisk PBX; * GFS or other distributed file system technologies; Considerations: This position is based in Park City, Utah and is full-time and benefits eligible. Benefits include paid time off, paid holidays, floating holidays, subsidized medical insurance, voluntary coverage (dental, short-term disability, supplemental accident), 401K, annual profit sharing, employee gear discount, employee referral program, flexible hours, casual dress, discounted season passes, and transferable day ski passes. To Apply: Send resume, salary history, and answers to the following screening questions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "Systems Administrator" in the subject line. Screening Questions: 1. Based on the following statements (props to Lewis Carroll), answer the following questions: a. What can you logically conclude from these statements? b. Explain how you came to this conclusion (bonus points for using symbolic logic). The statements: * No birds, except ostriches, are 9 feet high. * There are no birds in this aviary that belong to anyone but me. * No ostrich lives on mince pies. * I have no birds less than 9 feet high. you own ostriches only, and should refrain from feeding them mince pies. see. was too annoyed to be creative. 2. Describe some differences between OpenBSD's and Linux's init(8). 3. Design a scalable e-mail architecture to support 1,000 users and 2MM+ incoming and 200,000 outgoing e-mails/day. You may be as brief or as verbose as you like. Architectural drawings, server, network, and software specs are encouraged but not required. 4. Your home network has a single pf-based firewall machine between your internal LAN and the general internet. The firewall machine has two network interfaces: external (sk0) and internal (sk1). This firewall takes a default-deny stance to *ALL* network traffic. You have a machine on your internal LAN, "puffy", that wants to talk to www.backcountry.com on TCP ports 80 and 443. Given the following pf macros, write the appropriate rule(s) that will allow puffy to surf www.backcountry.com: external_if="sk0" internal_if="sk1" puffy_ip="10.0.0.67" backcountry_ip="166.70.146.69" 5. What are your top three innate strengths that you don't even have to try at? 6. What is a genuine weakness that you strive to improve upon? (don't twist a positive into a negative) 7. What is your desired salary range? 8. Why do you want to work at Backcountry.com? We Are an Equal Opportunity Employer

Create New Ramdisk
Hello all, I would like to build a new bsd.rd that is used to boot over pxe and install a system. To start, I need to test building the bsd.rd without any changes to files such as install.sh, etc... If I run Make, then MakeInstall in: /usr/src/distrib/ramdisk src was pulled from /mnt/cd/src.tar.gz from the CD3 in the purchased openbsd install set. will I end up with the same bsd.rd in ../obj that is typically installed on an i386 platform?

Re: Wanted: OpenBSD Systems Administrator
The just guy sent one single e-mail asking if a bsd user wanted a job, which I bet many among us might be interested. A bit off topic, yes but if that doesn't apply to someone, bitching just creates more noise... As it is clearly stated in that page: "Complaining about and commenting upon spam on the list proper is counter-productive as it generates more traffic than the spam itself." So, while his spam could potentially give any a job to a fellow BSD user, all complaints about his post accomplish absolutely nothing. Happy new year!

I've certainly heard from consulting customers who got my info from the consultants page at OpenBSD ... It's hard to understand why one can't post a job req on misc ... there's a jobs@ list for apache.org and it's busy ... There's a fine line between job postings and headhunter poop of course ...
