I've been following IPv6 for a while and he has been a central figure whose name is everywhere.

However, whether there are bonafide fifth columnists even at wiki, or plain old ignorance, or simply malevolent emergent behavior, technologies and methods that put Redmond products in bad light get actively pushed aside or hidden. IPv6 brings to light a whole slew of insurmountable design and implementation problems in the Redmond movement's gimmicks - er - products. And the way we do currently networking in general with IPv4. So in addition to other factors, there are those with incentive to postpone general knowledge and deployment of IPv6. > In short, his work (and IPv6 advocacy) will prove vital for the future > of the Internet and its continued existence as one global entity.

But management dictates we move to Men and Mice to manage dns. If I run their DNS Server Controller under linux emulation and the OpenBSD named is running as a chroot, it looks for a /dev/random or /dev/arandom inside the chroot. It fails if it is not there: Men and Mice DNS Server Controller for BIND[32343]: Unable to initalize crypting library. Random device not readable.

Run xev(1) application (inside X, of course) and see, does it generate anything when you try to move/click/scroll while pointer is positioned in it's window. Post what you see: no reaction on second mouse touching, or sample of messages it generates. Also, please, run "usbdevs -v" and post output lines here. And last but not least: try to rename/move xorg.conf and start X without it. Does this help? -- Best wishes, Vadim Jukov

Nobody building a custom CD will thank you for imposing a dowload of the 204MB install42.iso along with the needed files. Secondly, you need to stop referring to install sets as packages. I was really confused when I read "The OpenBSD group do" (sic) "offer iso's you can download and use to install a system.

Re: In Memoriam: Jun-ichiro Hagino
Dragos Ruiu a icrit : With great sadness, I regret to inform you that Itojun will not be presenting his great knowledge of IPv6 at PacSec. I have been informed by several sources that he passed away yesterday. This is very sad. I just spent some time watching again all his youtube videos and the second one.. he talks of how ipv6 should be wide enough so we should not run out of addresses, not in his lifetime. And then he added that he hoped it would of course not be too short. Seeing this video is strange. Itojun was someone very friendly. And I mean it. Years ago I worked as a journalist for a french magazine called Login (it no longer does exist now, its mother company has gone bankrupt). For one of the issues, I had to write a big paper on Ipv6 and Itojun was, with a France Telecom ingineer specialized in ipv6 and working from Belgium, the one person that answered first when I was looking for advices and links on Internet. Itojun spent a lot of time searching and sending me documentation. Later, I learned that he had to get up early the next day but nonetheless he spent several hours in the night looking for information and writing some for me just for helping me on that paper. Itojun just did it, and didnt even talked about his half night because of this. He was someone gentle and kind and did efforts for others, and without even talking about it. Learning now that he is gone is very sad. A few years later I remember Itojun receiving from someone on one of the openbsd's mailing list a rather rude answer. I did interverne and tried to tell that person he should be more cautious of his talk because he obviously didnt do his homework before being rude to Itojun (if I remember correctly it was after a commit and something was not working perfectly after). Itojun again did not publically answer his feelings, but I remember receiving from him an email later, in private. We do meet rude people or even morons from time to time (especially in openbsd-misc, you know what I mean right ?) and this event did make something to Itojun. I could feel it really hurt him to see someone react with so much rudeness after a commit and having spent time working for the whole community. He was puzzled and really did not understand the whole thing got out of proportion like that. I spent some time after this "accident" talking with him and telling him about his code and snippets I had seen, and taking some fresh news since our last email exchanges for my ipv6 paper. Only talked with him twice to say, and I will never forget his kindness and being very discrete about his efforts when having to help someone just because you shared something he did like to work upon. Goodbye Itojun.

I have installed 3.8 to 4.2 from CDs on machines from P3 500 to
Pentium D 2.something via Celeron 900Mhz (Dells, HPs, Compaqs,

I had a CD error with 4.2 today (same CD that I have done 3 installs
with already!) when extracting Xenocara - so I umounted, ejected,
took CD out, waggled it around while saying magic incantation,
remounted, and tried again and it worked (well, no errors reported.)

Evening... I'm trying install my fresh 4.2 CDs on a system that is

firewalls. Only I'm having a problem (obviously). This is the
third release where I'm having this issue, but previously I just
chalked it up to old, cranky CDROM drives, and went with FTP. But
given this is all new hardware, time to figure out what's really
happening.
This system is fresh-built amd64 (but will be running/compiling all
i386 binaries to avoid having to cross-compile Soekris builds), IDE
DVD-ROM drive, SATA hard drive. Boots from CD, then gets through
partitioning, labelling, and formatting the drive just fine.
Network config sails through, until I finally hit "Let's install the
sets!". I hit enter for the defaults 'cd' and 'cd0', at which point
I get the following:
cd0(atapiscsi0:0:0): Check Condition (error 0x70) on opcode 0x28
SENSE KEY: Media Error
ASC/ASCQ: ASC 0x11 ASCQ 0x06
This message repeats three times, at which point the installer gives
up, reports 'No filesystems found on cd0', and asks again where to
find the sets. For what it's worth, this happens on four different
i386 machines of various vintage (from a 16 year old 486 up through
tonight's Sempron build), with official CD releases from 4.0
onwards. I'm guessing I'm missing something obvious, but Google and
MARC didn't turn up anything, so cluesticks are welcome.
1. Yes, they're official CDs straight from austin@
2. Yes, both my WinXP laptop and WinXP-64 desktop can read/copy
3. I vaguely recall installing packages from one of them after doing
the FTP install, but I'll try again later tonight.
4. I'd love to, but except for the 486 (stuffed in a closet), they
don't have serial ports to redirect to.
Picked up a USB to serial converter on the way home from the office.

To clarify, the md5sum on the files you downloaded from two different servers were identical with each other (eliminating download problem) but different from what is stated in the MD5 file. If this is not true and each download produced a different MD5, try using rsync to an rsync server to fix the iso file you downloaded. Doug.
Re: deploy openssl patch

Dear list
I have a couple of 4.1 firewalls that I would like to upgrade to 4.2.

I feel your pain. Others have dissed on you for not having compile tools
on your hosts and assume you're doing it for security reasons. I don't
know your reason, but I only have compile tools on my build system. I
create binary patches (see script below) and distribute across the
network. Who the hell wants 20 (# of servers in my network) builds
cranking on all your machines in the network? What a nightmare. What if
they all fail? Worse yet, what if one fails? Someone is going to say,
"script/automate it." Screw that. Now you need to figure out how to make
the sources available to all the hosts, initiate the build, make sure
the build didn't fail, etc.
Another reason I don't have compile tools on some of my servers is
because they won't fit. Many of my dedicated systems use 256MB flash drives.
The third reason to keep crap off your servers, including compiler
tools, is that potentially that extra stuff could be exploitable. If it
is, then you have to patch it too. Just extra work.
Being perimeter firewalls, those systems don't have compile tools
installed. I would thus need to pre-compile libssl on a 4.2 buildhost
and deploy it onto the firewalls. I've been looking through the
documentation but did not find a "good" way to do this, because
openssl is not a package, but part of the base system.
OpenBSD makes if very easy to create binary patches. I wrote a script
below that automates most of the process. I have been using this script
for a while and it works pretty good. The good thing about this is that
it only creates a binary patch of executables and files that were
affected by the source patch. This also has the benefit of touching only
a small portion of the installed system, which can be helpful when you
are monitoring for trojan horses.
The alternative, which someone else mentioned, is just make a release.
This is straightforward and officially supported. See release(8).
Is there any way other than tar - scp - untar after compiling libssl?

BIND and /var/arandom missing fix
I have a server running OpenBSD 4.2-current and acting as a name server. It always has these messages in the /var/log/daemon file upon startup: Oct 27 05:51:38 racine named[3780]: could not open entropy \ source /dev/arandom: file not found Oct 27 05:51:38 racine named[3780]: using pre-chroot entropy \ source /dev/arandom That never bothered me, until I needed to use Men and Mice DNS Server Controller management tools on my OBSD name server, but that is another story. Just creating a /var/named/dev/arandom file won't work, since the partion is mounted as nodev as shown below /dev/wd0a on / type ffs (local) /dev/wd0e on /home type ffs (local, nodev, nosuid) /dev/wd0f on /tmp type ffs (local, nodev, nosuid) /dev/wd0g on /usr type ffs (local, nodev) /dev/wd0d on /var type ffs (local, nodev, nosuid) ^ so I thought I would try creating a separate partition for /var/named/dev and not using the nodev parameter I had used all of the drive during inital installation, so I -went into disklabel -E wd0 - noticed how much space each cylinder took up - checked to see how large the swap partition was with a 'p m' - deleted the swap partition, and recreated it 2 megabytes smaller - created a new partition 2 megabytes in in size - saved the results - modified /etc/fstab to mount the new partition as /var/named/dev without the nodev option $ mount /dev/wd0a on / type ffs (local) /dev/wd0e on /home type ffs (local, nodev, nosuid) /dev/wd0f on /tmp type ffs (local, nodev, nosuid) /dev/wd0g on /usr type ffs (local, nodev) /dev/wd0d on /var type ffs (local, nodev, nosuid) /dev/wd0h on /var/named/dev type ffs (local, nosuid) rebooted the computer -created the devices in /var/named/dev cd /var/named/dev /dev.MAKEDEV random ls -l shows $ ls -l /var/named/dev total 0 crw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 45, 4 Oct 27 05:53 arandom crw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 45, 3 Oct 27 05:53 prandom crw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 45, 0 Oct 27 05:53 random crw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 45, 1 Oct 27 05:53 srandom crw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 45, 2 Oct 27 05:53 urandom now when I start BIND via the named command, the messages about /var/arandom missing no loger appear in /var/log/daemon.

Wireless problems.
Hiya. I connect to the internet via a wireless LAN. I prefer to use dhcp and let the server assign an ip, etcetera. This is simple to do with OpenBSD. echo dhcp > hostname.device The problem is the other networks in the area. When I boot, my wireless finds the first available (so it seems) access point available that will cough up anything and attach itself. Other than communicating with other WLAN operators and asking them to set MAC access control (if I can find out who they are) an option is to manually configure OpenBSD to use a specific gateway, etcetera. The problem with that is that many people use the same address for their server (perhaps the only private address space they know). Again I could specify a domain, however, the chances of this being duplicated are reasonable considering the number of WLAN's that are not public and also mainly Windows boxes (same goes for IP space). The way that we work it out is mainly through SSID. Generally we see the same WLAN's as the others and use the SSID to determine which network to attach to. Is it possible to specify an SSID to access at the exclusion of others? Otherwise, can anyone see a solution? Best wishes, David

It's well documented, supported and works great. If you don't want to build your own release and you trust me, you can use the filesets from ftp://ftp.su.se/pub/mirrors/openbsd_stable/4.2-stable/i386/ These are built from the stable tree after the SSL-patch was made available.

And by making security updates more difficult, you think you have improved security, right? As you have demonstrated, you have not. If an attacker can use your system's compile tools, they can also install the compile tools. But it DOES take you longer to do all you can to keep them out in the first place. > I would thus need to pre-compile libssl on a 4.2 buildhost > and deploy it onto the firewalls.

Oh, geee. You think you're so unique that you were the first one to think of this and that you're the first one to ask for hand holding? It _HAS_ failed before. Many, many, many times. My todo list has been on the web for over 6 years. It has given us one or two developers, but mostly it has gotten me shitpiles of mails asking for holding hands. Probably around 20 people I spent hundereds of hours on, giving advice, explaining things, helping debug, holding hands. The total result of committed code: 0. Maybe, just maybe it made me slightly bitter. People say that they'll do things because it makes them feel good and like they are participating. But actually doing stuff is work, so that's not interesting. //art

He must have meant replacing /dev/wsmouse1 and /dev/wsmouse2 with /dev/wsmouse. If you are not sure about the format of xorg.conf , then you can get several samples from google. The idea is that OpenBSD multiplexes mouse movements into /dev/wsmouse. So you don't have to explicitly tell Xorg about it. Read wsmouse(1) and wsmux(1) for details. Best, Girish
