Re: Installing Skype

2007-03-24 Thread Rafael Morales
Yes, you are right, I need it for my work, so I have
not choice, and I do not want to use Linux nor
windows.
I have not solved my trouble although the lib needed I
have it in /usr/local/emul/redhat/lib/, however when I
try to run ./skype I have the same error.
I don`t know what to do.

Re: pps limit with pf

2007-03-24 Thread Lawrence Horvath

no, i got the data rate controled, this is my firewall that i use to
control traffic in my cage, my provider has a pps cap and i want my
firewall to catch a pps spikes before the provider cap does, becuase
the providers cap trips a port shut down, id rather drop a few packets
for a few seconds on a pps spike then to have my port shut down for
xamount of time until i find out about it and call my provider(yes i
understand how stupid such a mechanism is)

i was thinking about using the qlimit, as i think this is the best way
i can do it, but thats kinda guess and check i think(i need a cap at
roughly 4000pps, which i would have trouble generating in a test
environment)

anyone have a good resource i could look into tbrsize with?

you're sure you need to control packet rate, not data rate?

find setuid/gid files and devices, is there a better solution ?

2007-03-24 Thread a . velichinsky
The /etc/security script, when called from cron, keeps thrashing all my
disks when searching for changes in setuid/setgid files and devices -

It doesn't care about filesystems mounted with the nosuid and nodev flags,
or filesystems unable to do setuid executables or devices at all
(like CDs without RockRidge extensions or FAT partitions). This is
useless and painful.

Is there a better solution instead of this kludge ?
I think of something that would make statfs(2) usable from the shell,
just as stat(1) does for stat(2).

DVD Rewriter: Check Condition (error 0x70)

2007-03-24 Thread andrewhw

Upon moving a DVD (re)writer

LG GSA-H22N / SuperMulti DVD Rewriter (L49-GSAH22N CA)

from chassis A (OpenBSD 3.9) to chassis B (OpenBSD 4.0), I found
that I could no longer mount a filesystem on the drive.  The
dmesg (full text below) now indicates these diagnostics when
trying to access the drive during mount a mount run on the 4.0
machine running 4.0:

cd0(atapiscsi0:0:0): Check Condition (error 0x70) on opcode 0x28
SENSE KEY: Hardware Error

cd0(atapiscsi0:0:0): Check Condition (error 0x70) on opcode 0x28
SENSE KEY: Hardware Error
 ASC/ASCQ: Logical Unit Communication CRC Error (ULTRA-DMA/32)



The CVS for /usr/sys reports no changes in
/usr/src/sys/dev/atapiscsi/*
between OPENBSD_3_9 and OPENBSD_4_0, so I am suspecting that
the problem doesn't have to do with the driver source.

Any advice on how to begin tracking down the underlying error here?

you can download from ftp, http, ssh, smb

Where do I go to start it



In
/opt/openoffice.org2.0/program/

you will have

soffice, swriter, scalc, simpress, smath, sbase and s-whatever

you can execute those files to get the programs.



and how do I get it into applications on the K Menu?



If you know how to edit the K Menu then link them to these files.

In my FVWM I just added the following to get the Menu


AddToMenu MenuOpenOffice2   "MenuOpenOffice2" Title
+   "&O. office"Exec exec
/opt/openoffice.org2.0/program/soffice
+   "&W. writer"Exec exec
/opt/openoffice.org2.0/program/swriter

+   "&M. math"  Exec exec
/opt/openoffice.org2.0/program/smath
+   "&B. base"  Exec exec
/opt/openoffice.org2.0/program/sbase

I don't have a Start OpenOffice.org icon or anything.

cd ports/mail/postfix/stable && env FLAVOR=pgsql make



The pkg/DESCR seems to be ambigious.

It just says there are Flavors but does not specify the flags as in others.



$ cat pkg/DESCR
Postfix attempts to be fast, easy to administer, and secure, while at the
same time being sendmail compatible enough to not upset existing users.
Thus, the outside has a sendmail-ish flavor, but the inside is completely
different.

Extra features always included:

- table lookups using PCRE (Perl-Compatible Regular Expression)
- authenticated SMTP using Dovecot SASL

Optional features included using flavors:

- authenticated SMTP using Cyrus SASL v2
- table lookups using LDAP, MySQL and PostgreSQL
$
===

where as in the Squid package it is clearly mentioned


$ cat pkg/DESCR
Squid is a high-performance proxy caching server for web clients,
supporting FTP, gopher, and HTTP data objects. Unlike traditional caching
software, Squid handles all requests in a single, non-blocking, I/O-driven
process.

Squid keeps meta data and especially hot objects cached in RAM, caches DNS
lookups, supports non-blocking DNS lookups, and implements negative
caching of failed requests.

Squid supports SSL, extensive access controls, and full request logging.
By using the lightweight Internet Cache Protocol, Squid caches can be
arranged in a hierarchy or mesh for additional bandwidth savings.

Flavors:
 transparent - Support for transparent proxying
snmp - Support for SNMP

We'd either scrounge wired mouses from old computers, or if it really

this is good advice, non-op :). i tried to get l2tpd + ppp + ipsec
running a while ago and it didn't work out so well. very unstable,
however there may have been progress since i last tried. i recommend
going straight ipsec (using ipseccmd.exe commands in a .bat file) but
understand that some windows users want it to "just work" even if it
means using a POS solution.

go to http://marc.info/?l=openbsd-misc&r=1&w=2 and search before you
post next time. searching for "l2tp" brings up lots of good info.

Especialy with new platforms you don't know good enough, you should
never switch directly to a productive system. There always might be a

Thank you for explanation.
$ sysctl kern.timecounter

kern.timecounter.timestepwarnings=0
kern.timecounter.hardware=VIAPM
kern.timecounter.choice=i8254(0) VIAPM(1000) dummy(-100)

In snaps i386 moved to a new timekeeping mechanism called
timecounters. The range of clock error adjustment timecounters can do
is somewhat more limited than the old mechanism. It's on my list to
look into that.

Btw, with sysctl kern.timecounter you can look if there are
alternative time sources on your system. Choose another by setting
kern.timecounter.hardware if there is more than one available (apart
from dummy).


Thank you for explanation.
$ sysctl kern.timecounter
kern.timecounter.tick=1
kern.timecounter.timestepwarnings=0
kern.timecounter.hardware=VIAPM
kern.timecounter.choice=i8254(0) VIAPM(1000) dummy(-100)

I just tried setting kern.timecounter.hardware to i8254, shall see
what that will help.

You get 2 minutes in the penalty box. ;)

There is a pgsql flavor.  I don't see a binary package, so you will
need to compile it from the ports tree.



GNUstep and OpenBSD 4.0

Greetings!
I'm aware that there's a GNUstep port for 3.9 and I'd like to ask if
this can also be insalled into the latest release of OpenBSD (4.0 as
of this writing). Pls provide me pointers about it.
Thank you very much!
