powerdown does not work with acpi
Hello misc.
I use 4.3-current on an asustek laptop. For use acpi, I have to disable
apm (via UKC). Powerdown works perfectly with GENERIC and apm. However,
it does not work with GENERIC and acpi (I have to disable apm for acpi
works).
With GENERIC.MP, powerdown does not work.
When I say powerdown does not work, it means the machine always
reboot... When I do a powerdown, the machine halt... and reboot,
whitout any messages. It's a little problem for me, if I can't halt my
machine.
See my dmesg:

You can set up squid to do the proxying without authentication, set up pf to deny all traffic to the squid instance and set up authpf rules to allow all authenticated users passage to squid. http://www.openbsd.org/faq/pf/authpf.html Hope this helps.

My R61 has got the same card, it's supported in 4.3, to the extent that I have the full panel resolution correctly detected. However, X is slow, really slow. And there's no acceleration for anything, including no xvideo mode. xvidtune doesn't allow any other mode but the native mode. So, depends what you intend. Basic desk work with `normal apps' like xterm: no issue. Fast stuff with accelerated graphics, video -> stay away Maybe nouveau will be better. It's so fucking hard to find a correct laptop where most everything will work correctly these days...

He's expressed nVidias unwillingness to deal w/ the issues in the drivers and we know from before that nVidia will not give us docs. So they deserve only be ignored, both on mailinglists and by you who are considering getting a new graphics card or computer. So let's kill this discussion off by concluding that when you buy a new computer or graphics card you should get it with other graphics then Nvidia. Regards Johan M:son

As is pretty typical for a vendor-provided "open-source" driver, it is not code that can be properly maintained without vendor support. It may be "open source" but it is not truly Open.

Re: Nvidia Quadro NVS 140M
He said that the clock on the chip is running in the lowest possible speed during boot and he added that clock settings won't be added to the open source driver. Setting a registry somewhere is obviously is a major IP hurdle to overcome. Stay away from this thing. I swear I have the fastest possible laptop to only run at PII speeds when compiling code. Text scrolling is super slow and consumes the cpu at 100%. I can not code on the box because of that so I tend to run it either over the network or without X. It is an awesome laptop when not in X.

cron - setusercontext failed for root
I'm setting up an embedded system from scratch with OpenBSD. The system is VERY much stripped down to the absolute necessary files only. I have troubles using cron: in /etc/crontab I have: --- SHELL=/bin/sh PATH=/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin HOME=/tmp/log */1 * * * * root /bin/sh -c "echo DEBUGMARKER>/tmp/console" --- I have an entry for root in /etc/passwd (and master.passwd respectively). Nevertheless, when cron starts, I get this: --- # /usr/sbin/cron -n -x sch debug flags enabled: sch [9538] cron started [9538] GMToff=7200 [9538] Target time=1209315180, sec-to-wait=28 [9538] tick(53,16,26,3,0) user [root:0:0:...] cmd="/bin/sh -c "echo DEBUGMARKER>/tmp/console"" [9538] Target time=1209315240, sec-to-wait=60 log_it: (root 14005) CMD (/bin/sh -c "echo DEBUGMARKER>/tmp/console") setusercontext failed for root log_it: (root 20135) MAIL (mailed 31 bytes of output but got status 0x0001) [9538] Target time=1209315240, sec-to-wait=59 --- The problem seems to be: "setusercontext failed for root" Why is this so and what can I do to solve this?

One task in the init-script is to start crond which is just there to do some cleanups regularly. Help will be appreciated! T.

Re: chroot issues with accessing /dev/ entries
I am setting up an embedded system that's supposed to run from RAMDISK only. You really should not do this. The RAMDISK kernel uses the SMALL_KERNEL option, and this can have all sorts of unknown effects. I appreciate you comment, but it seems I'm missing something or there's a misunderstanding. I don't see the connection between using mount_mfs and the ramdisk kernel. I don't think I'm using a ramdisk kernel. I'm using a self compiled standard kernel, only I am creating a ramdisk with mount_mfs in my init-script, copy my stuff into that ramdisk and chroot to it. I don't see there's anything wrong with this?
Solved: Re: chroot issues with accessing /dev/ entries
OK, thank you, that got me onto the right track, now I think I know what the problem is: mount_mfs. /sbin/mount_mfs -s 9 swap /mnt Is there a way to have devices under that mountpoint? Of course, just mknod(8) them (each time after creating the mfs), Thanks everybody for your help. For whatever reason it did not work (for me) to just copy (pax) the /dev/* files from / to my ramdisk-mountpoint (/mnt). The files were there but always caused a "failed to open" error when used from within the chrooted environment. It also did not work to first chroot and then (within the chroot environment) create the files with mknod. What worked was first creating the files with mknod and then chroot. I don't know why this is so, but I'm happy with it.

RAID 0+1
I'm looking to set up a test unit this summer to try RAID 1+0 or 3+0. The goal is to be able to stream data quickly but tolerate loss of at least one disk at a time. It looks like there are three options supporting at least RAID level 0 and 1, can/should any of these be stacked yet? softraid http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=softraid raidframe http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=raid ccd http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ccd It looks like one disk (or CF) is needed for a base OpenBSD system, and the other 4+ for RAID. Is that the best way to ensure unattended booting? Also, what kind of data would you want back on the tests? It's early enough that I can work it into the plans. Regards, -Lars

More details on what you did for the upgrade might also be interesting, as a fair number of people (including me) have upgraded their DHCP servers from 4.1 (and before) to 4.2 to 4.3 without reporting this problem, so my guess at this point is either something strange was done during the upgrade process or the problem is not directly related to the upgrade. There isn't much to dhcpd: dhcpd.conf and /usr/sbin/dhcpd are about it. Some other files launch it, but if it is running, it will be mostly those two files. dhcpd was replaced in the upgrade process, dhcpd.conf /should/ be untouched. Looking at the dates on those files will tell a few things, I suspect. Nick.

I can only speak of raidframe as its the only one I've used. If you mean for attaching the array automatically then as mentioned in the manpage make sure your raid config file is in /etc, it'll be picked up by the rc script + a fstab entry.

vpn, isakmpd, and X509 certificates
Hello ports@, I'm a happy user of sane OpenBSD IPsec. There is one thing that I haven't been able to figure out yet though. I want to simultaneously connect to two IPsec servers, both of which are OpenBSD boxes and both of them use X509 certificates. These two servers are managed by different administrators and are absolutely unrelated. Hence, their X509 certs are created with different CAs. In both cases, I haven't been given opportunity to provide my own CSR for them to generate my certificate. Hence, I'm given two pair of keys/certs for each server. Basically, the two CSRs are signed using two different private keys. What this means to me is that I need to have two separate /etc/isakmpd/priavte/local.key for each server. I believe that /etc/isakmpd/priavte/local.key is glued in isakmpd and I have no way of specifying a separate local.key for each server I'm connecting to. Am I missing something? By the way, I obviously use ipsecctl(8) to configure IPsec. Thanks in advance.

Damnit, my T61 will arrive next week, and I didn't know how serious this issue was when I ordered the laptop =( I may be stuck with it, since Lenovo takes almost a month to deliver a laptop here in Brazil, and if I decide to change the motherboard, I wouldn't like to even think about the time it would take. How about using the vesa driver instead?

I've been using/testing the vesa driver for about a week now with my (older) 6200 PCIex, as I was experiencing similar sporatic lockups in X. My only issue with the vesa driver is support for running mplayer in full screen mode.. no problems other than that. cheers, ~Jason
Re: Nvidia Quadro NVS 140M
> It's so fucking hard to find a correct laptop where most everything will > work correctly these days... Generally, the best-supported laptops on OpenBSD are the Lenovo ThinkPads. Detailed specifications of the individual chipsets in current ThinkPad models can be found at ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/pc/pcinstitute/psref/tabook.pdf Before purchasing a ThinkPad, it is prudent to compare the chipsets in those specifications to the list of OpenBSD-supported chipsets at http://www.openbsd.org/i386.html (or at http://www.openbsd.org/amd64.html if you plan to run 64-bit OpenBSD). The two most commonly-encountered incompatibilities are with the wireless and with the graphics chipsets. OpenBSD does not support the Atheros wireless chipsets in current ThinkPad models--but the Intel wireless chipsets (currently Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG, and Intel Wireless WiFi Link 4965AG) are supported. The graphics chipsets supported by the intel driver http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=intel also work well with OpenBSD. NVIDIA and ATI graphics chipsets have suffered from various incompatibilities with OpenBSD (but it is hoped that support for ATI will improve now that specifications for their graphics chipsets are available to the open source developers who write the drivers). If you are overwhelmed by the number of different ThinkPad models, then you should be aware that Lenovo designs some ThinkPads for compatibility with SUSE Linux. A link to a list of those Linux-compatible models is available on the Lenovo notebook main page at http://shop.lenovo.com/us/notebooks/ Although compatibility with SUSE Linux is no guarantee of compatibility with OpenBSD, the hardware-compatibility issues present in both operating systems are similar enough that this list can be a useful place to start looking for an appropriate model.

Great idea, I just systraced isakmpd and it does look for srcid of the local peer, which in my case is FQDN. Notice that if your FQDN is for example level1.blah.org, the key should be placed as "/etc/isakmpd/private/level1.blah.org" *without* .key extension. here is the relevant part from systrace: native-fsread: filename eq "/etc/isakmpd/private/level1.blah.org" then permit native-fsread: filename eq "/etc/isakmpd/private/local.key" then permit

Re: mrxvt and ksh issue
Hi, Thanks for your info! I have try using mrxvt various -hold and nothing helps me. It does not solve the problem of "zombie" kshs with Ctrl+Alt+Backspace. I still think this is a bug. I tried to find some answers and I found a interesting conclusion in the book "Unix power Tools" (O'Reilly) in chapter 38.16 (last paragraph). I paste the text. "So, to get rid of a zombie, you must wait for it. If you have already done so or if the process' PPID is 1, the process is almost certainly stuck in a device driver (42.1) close routine, and if it remains that way forever, the driver has a bug." Keep investigating. Jesus- Antoine Jacoutot escribis: Hi. Sorry, a bit late on this but I've been busy. Did you have a look at the '-hold' option? >From what you've been saying, disabling it should solve your problem. -hold mask Hold the tab open after the child process in it exits. mask is the mask of flags which control weather the tab will be held open based on the exit status of the child process. If the lowest bit (0x01) of mask is set, then the tab will always be held open after the child exits. If the next bit (0x02) is set, then the tab will only be held open if the child exits abnormally (e.g. via abort(1)). If the third bit (0x04) is set, then the tab will be held open if the child exits with non-zero status. NOTE: In previous versions of mrxvt this was a boolean option. For backward compatibility, the value of True, On, Yes will be treated as 1 and anything illegal will be treated as 0. The default is 0x06. [holdExit]

Ah, it was pointed out offlist that I didn't look far enough back in the history of the driver, this is only the recent work (basically adding ids and a few smaller changes), the original driver is not from them.

Redirect traffic based on sub-domain?
Hi, Is it possible to have PF redirecting traffic based on sub-domains? I.e. I want traffic to a.mydomain.nu to be redirected to machine 'a and traffic to b.mydomain.nu to be redirected to machine 'b'.' /Markus
Acer Aspire 3004WLCi and 4.3
Got my 4.3 cd's 4 days ago :) Thanks for a great system.
I have installed 4.3 on this laptop and have a few problems:
1). using pkg_add to install packages from cd is very slow:
it took over 5 minutes to install firefox and over 10 minutes to install
abiword.
2). "startx" takes a minimum of 80 seconds to load fvwm, and over 2 minutes to
load windowmaker. I have tried with no /etc/X11/xorg.conf, with the sis driver,
and then finally with the vesa driver. Not enough time difference to mention.
3). After running X, it takes 10 minutes for Firefox to load and bring up the
initial screen/url. Just to start firefox, type in my webmail url, check mail,
logout, and shutdown firefox takes 19 minutes (I've tried that 3 times).
When loading, firefox uses 95% cpu according to "top".
4). I noticed while trying to install packages, perl uses over 90% cpu, and
that is installing from console without X running.
5). Creating keys on first boot too so long I left the room after 5 minutes and
kept checking till about 15 minutes when they were finally made.
This all has happened after a fresh install. FWIW- FreeBSD 7.0 won't even
install on this laptop.
I have tried installing 4.3 before and after FreeBSD in case I did something
wrong during installation. During installation I installed all packages
(including x*.tgz).
Any help appreciated on fixing this.
I have never tried installing any bsd on a laptop till trying this one. Is
there something I need to know to do first?
btw- I installed 4.3 on a 500mhz Dell Optiplex GX1 and it is great :)
The machine is AMD 1.8ghz with 512 megs ram. OpenBSD partition is 12 gig.

As far as language, you should look for something that looks "fun" to you. Language's are really all over the place, it really depends on what looks like you are going to want to develop in it. Perl is popular as it is on nearly every *nix system in the world (it is also what the pkg_* tools are written in), Ruby is popular with its Ruby on Rails web framework (there is a lot more to Ruby than Rails fyi) and finally Python which is popular and I would recommend. But what matters to me may not matter to you. Take a look at some tutorials and find something that you _want_ to program in. (Sorry Sam for the spam). -- # Curt Micol

Not sure if relayd will do it, but certainly apache and pound would both do it. Otherwise, you'll need an application reverse proxy if you're not talking about http/s. If you're talking about general TCP/IP traffic - think about what a domain name or FQDN is - at the packet level, is the FQDN part of the 3 way handshake? -- http://www.glumbert.com/media/shift http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tGvHNNOLnCk "This officer's men seem to follow him merely out of idle curiosity." -- Sandhurst officer cadet evaluation.

Re: RAID 0+1
Lars NoodC)n wrote: I'm looking to set up a test unit this summer to try RAID 1+0 or 3+0. The goal is to be able to stream data quickly but tolerate loss of at least one disk at a time. It looks like there are three options supporting at least RAID level 0 and 1, can/should any of these be stacked yet? softraid http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=softraid raidframe http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=raid ccd http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ccd It looks like one disk (or CF) is needed for a base OpenBSD system, and the other 4+ for RAID. Is that the best way to ensure unattended booting? Also, what kind of data would you want back on the tests? It's early enough that I can work it into the plans. Regards, -Lars Hey Lars, I'm using raidframe with 1+0. From my reading of the raidctl(8) man page it looks like you can compose raid sets from any valid devices, including other properly configured raidframe devices. If you're interested I'll send you my /etc/raid*.conf files. I'm sure you know this but for posterity, read the raidctl(8) man page closely. Everything is in there. Nevertheless, it took me two passes to figure out how to get auto configuration working correctly. As for test results, I'd be interested in throughput performance when a drive is taken out of the pool (failed) and throughput performance while the array is rebuilding once a spare has been brought online.

Re: web development on OpenBSD
Hi there, I was in a similar position to you a few months ago. I decided to go with Ruby on Rails, it's really simple! But to get the most out of it you should buy a book. "Agile Development with rails" is a good one. It might be worth reading a php + mysql tutorial just to see how yucky it is. Kind regards, Timothy.

Otherwise you'll have to use a layer 7 proxy.
symon/symux and syweb PF reporting
Hi, I have symon, symux working and reporting on 2 of the systems. How do I get more graphs for PF ? Currently I only see bytes in/out for PF graph? Thanks
