Re: QEMU crashes
Just out of curiosity, humor me, run qemu as root with the following added options: -net nic,vlan=0 -net tap,vlan=0 I've observed that at some point user mode networking has started segv'ed on amd64 when running any qemu guest, and am sorry to report I have not yet tracked down the source of the issue..

That is not the right way to do it, but probably didn't hurt too much. amd64 is not an upgrade, you should have done a clean install. > Am I allowed to run a guest like Win98 on host running amd64?

I've been running qemu on amd64 for a long time without issues. guests are openbsd (i386 and amd64) and freedos.

QEMU crashes
I've been using qemu to run a Win98 guest on i386 host for about a year. On Aug.2, I installed an i386 snapshot that was a few days old. Since then, I've been running a Win98 guest on qemu-0.9.1p3 with no issues. Sometime over the past 12 months I realised I could be running amd64 on my Core2Duo processor; so (using purchased cdrom's) I made the switch to 8.4 amd64 release over the weekend. Not sure if I did it correctly; but I did it as an upgrade, then deleted and added all packages. Seems to be working fine so far; except for some problems with qemu. I notice that both -no-kqemu and -kernel-kqemu result in "invalid option". Am I allowed to run a guest like Win98 on host running amd64? It seems to work ok when running a couple of apps (win & dos); as long as there is no network access. The Win98 guest system crashes (segmentation fault, core dumped) when I access internet from the guest. This can be either accessing a website with IE or running pscp (an scp program for windows, from makers of PuTTY). Ping does not cause guest to crash. Ping to 10.0.2.2 (host) works (time is 1ms). Ping to internet ip address results in "Request timed out". Ping to name does manage dns lookup; but still gets "Request timed out". When the Win98 guest crashes; my mouse pointer goes with it. I'm using icewm. I manage to shutdown other apps with keyboard shortcuts; then restart X. Is there a way to get mouse pointer back? kqemu is not installed. I don't know what other information about this issue to include here. I'm not sure if a dmesg is appropriate; but here it is: OpenBSD 4.4 (GENERIC.MP) #1812: Tue Aug 12 17:22:53 MDT 2008 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/src/sys/arch/amd64/compile/GENERIC.MP real mem = 3206639616 (3058MB) avail mem = 3109740544 (2965MB) mainbus0 at root bios0 at mainbus0: SMBIOS rev. 2.4 @ 0xe0010 (68 entries) bios0: vendor LENOVO version "7IET30WW (1.11 )" date 07/13/2007 bios0: LENOVO 8744J2U acpi0 at bios0: rev 2 acpi0: tables DSDT FACP SSDT ECDT TCPA APIC MCFG HPET SLIC BOOT SSDT SSDT SSDT SSDT acpi0: wakeup devices LID_(S3) SLPB(S3) LURT(S3) DURT(S3) EXP0(S4) EXP1(S4) EXP2(S4) EXP3(S4) PCI1(S4) USB0(S3) USB1(S3) USB2(S3) USB7(S3) HDEF(S4) acpitimer0 at acpi0: 3579545 Hz, 24 bits acpimadt0 at acpi0 addr 0xfee0: PC-AT compat cpu0 at mainbus0: apid 0 (boot processor) cpu0: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU T7200 @ 2.00GHz, 1994.62 MHz cpu0: FPU,VME,DE,PSE,TSC,MSR,PAE,MCE,CX8,APIC,SEP,MTRR,PGE,MCA,CMOV,PAT,PSE36,CFLUSH,DS,ACPI,MMX,FXSR,SSE,SSE2,SS,HTT,TM,SBF,SSE3,MWAIT,DS-CPL,VMX,EST,TM2,CX16,xTPR,LONG cpu0: 4MB 64b/line 16-way L2 cache cpu0: apic clock running at 166MHz cpu1 at mainbus0: apid 1 (application processor) cpu1: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU T7200 @ 2.00GHz, 1994.34 MHz cpu1: FPU,VME,DE,PSE,TSC,MSR,PAE,MCE,CX8,APIC,SEP,MTRR,PGE,MCA,CMOV,PAT,PSE36,CFLUSH,DS,ACPI,MMX,FXSR,SSE,SSE2,SS,HTT,TM,SBF,SSE3,MWAIT,DS-CPL,VMX,EST,TM2,CX16,xTPR,LONG cpu1: 4MB 64b/line 16-way L2 cache ioapic0 at mainbus0 apid 1 pa 0xfec0, version 20, 24 pins ioapic0: misconfigured as apic 2, remapped to apid 1 acpihpet0 at acpi0: 14318179 Hz acpiprt0 at acpi0: bus 0 (PCI0) acpiprt1 at acpi0: bus 1 (AGP_) acpiprt2 at acpi0: bus 2 (EXP0) acpiprt3 at acpi0: bus 3 (EXP1) acpiprt4 at acpi0: bus 4 (EXP2) acpiprt5 at acpi0: bus 12 (EXP3) acpiprt6 at acpi0: bus 21 (PCI1) acpiec0 at acpi0 acpicpu0 at acpi0: C3, C2 acpicpu1 at acpi0: C3, C2 acpitz0 at acpi0: critical temperature 127 degC acpitz1 at acpi0: critical temperature 100 degC acpibtn0 at acpi0: LID_ acpibtn1 at acpi0: SLPB acpibat0 at acpi0: BAT0 not present acpibat1 at acpi0: BAT1 not present acpiac0 at acpi0: AC unit online acpithinkpad0 at acpi0 acpidock at acpi0 not configured acpivideo at acpi0 not configured acpivideo at acpi0 not configured cpu0: unknown Enhanced SpeedStep CPU, msr 0x06130c2806000c28 cpu0: using only highest and lowest power states cpu0: Enhanced SpeedStep 2000 MHz (1340 mV): speeds: 2000, 1000 MHz pci0 at mainbus0 bus 0: configuration mode 1 pchb0 at pci0 dev 0 function 0 "Intel 82945GM Host" rev 0x03 ppb0 at pci0 dev 1 function 0 "Intel 82945GM PCIE" rev 0x03: apic 1 int 16 (irq 11) pci1 at ppb0 bus 1 vga1 at pci1 dev 0 function 0 "ATI Mobility FireGL V5250" rev 0x00 wsdisplay0 at vga1 mux 1: console (80x25, vt100 emulation) wsdisplay0: screen 1-5 added (80x25, vt100 emulation) agp0 at vga1: no integrated graphics drm at vga1 unsupported azalia0 at pci0 dev 27 function 0 "Intel 82801GB HD Audio" rev 0x02: apic 1 int 17 (irq 11) azalia0: codec[s]: Analog Devices/0x1981, Conexant/0x2bfa, using Analog Devices/0x1981 audio0 at azalia0 ppb1 at pci0 dev 28 function 0 "Intel 82801GB PCIE" rev 0x02: apic 1 int 20 (irq 11) pci2 at ppb1 bus 2 em0 at pci2 dev 0 function 0 "Intel PRO/1000MT (82573L)" rev 0x00: apic 1 int 16 (irq 11), address 00:1a:6b:6b:20:6c ppb2 at pci0 dev 28 function 1 "Intel 82801GB PCIE" rev 0x02: apic 1 int 21 (irq 11) pci3 at ppb2 bus 3 wpi0 at pci3 dev 0 function 0 "Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG" rev 0x02: a

I tried using the installboot from OpenBSD 4.3 installer CD and it worked. I think we may be looking into a regression here.

Re: VPN between Linux and OpenBSD with RSA
If you're using Debian you may have better luck just running OpenBSD's isakmpd on the Debian host. Just read the docs, 'apt-get install isakmpd' and proceed as normal. The standard Debian kernels have the necessary modules enabled by default. I've had success with that approach to a Debian<->OpenBSD IPSec vpn.

VPN between Linux and OpenBSD with RSA
Hi! I'm basically trying to setup a VPN between a linux box (debian) and an OpenBSD one. I'd like to use a RSA for that VPN.

They could have improved since then, but I would recommend evaluating any camera thoroughly before buying it. I used the camera to upload frames to the OpenBSD FTP server every 10 seconds or so, and then used ffmpeg to convert them into avi movie, and presented the archived movies via httpd. Camera would stop the upload for no reason every other day, and I couldn't get it to work. Company's support was not very helpfull either. In the end, I wrote a expect script that would reset the camera every day, which seem to help somewhat, but the issue still remained. Also, make sure that the picture quality is adequate for what you are trying to accomplish: - how does it perform in different lighting conditions (day/night/rain/fog/etc.): e.g. can you read the license plate of the vehicle if you monitoring the parking lot, or can you reliably identify a person based on the camera image. That sort of things are often overlooked :) - how many cameras do you need to cover a particular area: while the field of view may be sufficient to cover the monitored area, resolution/focus is sufficient only in a part of the whole field of view. - consider a camera which could be integrated with a motion sensor, door switch, etc, so it only records when event is triggered. Its not fun skimming through hours of video trying to catch 3 frames when a particular event happened. - cabling (Ethernet/power) and environments housing are also interesting subjects that should be considered up front, before you settle on the desired zoom/resolution/sensitivity Good luck, Alex

Any suggest ? Hi Jeff. For anyone to be able to help you they need, at the minimum, the version of OpenBSD, how you're attempting to 'connect the network drive' and the error message you're getting. I'm sure if anyone needs additional information they'll ask for it. kmw -- Far better is it to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even if checkered by failure, than to take rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, because they live in the gray twilight that knows not victory or defeat.

Re: I am not a geek ;)
Hello, Yes this is Samba on the server. As suggested by Kevin I am using OpenBSD 4.4. I try to connect via the assistant of network drive : - distant location connection assistant - add a network drive - Microsoft network drive then after filling data (server name etc ...) I get an eeror. The connection was possible using same tool on a Linux distro and even from the other computer running Xp this works. 2 points : - connection requires password but here it breaks before asking me password - is the reason why it does not work the fact that it's a NTFS file system on the NAS (I don't think so as the protocol only is seen on BSD, not the file system used on the local NAS server itself).

Dell e4300 decent pentest laptop?

Does anyone have experience getting OBSD working on a e4300 or the Mobile Intel GS45 Express Chipset? Any recommendations on Expresscard gig network cards? Any recommendations on OBSD compatiable dial gig network laptops? Thanks.

Re: DLZ support in BIND
Hello again, I got DLZ support run in OpenBSDs BIND version, but there are some things to do for the maintainer. First a config.dlz.in or better all contrib/dlz files from a stanard BIND version are needed. Even if a config.dlz.in exists it won't work. I had to rebuild the configure script with autoconf. (It seems configure.in was correctly patched but without running autoconf after it.) I also had to remove the lcrypt compiler switches. They aren't needed on OpenBSD. At least I had to search lcg.h in OpenBSD 4.2 (it was removed in 4.3). The lcg.h functionallity should be replaced by the new 4.3 by someone. After this steps I was able to recompile BIND with DLZ support. I tested it and it works normally so far but I classify the above steps as bugs. Quoting [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Hello, I'm going to recompile openBSDs BIND Version to enable DLZ support. It's: http://bind-dlz.sourceforge.net/ I know DLZ is built in and in general should be enabled by using compiler flag --with-dlz-xxx or refering to the changelog by using --with-dlz-xxx=yes. Both doesn't work what means I get a "checking for DLZ...no" output at configure. In configure and configure.in a config.dlz.in file is called but I don't know anything about the file or the format. It's not documented in the net or in local docs. How can I find out more about the file, are there docs? Internal the first problem is USE_DLZ is set to an empty value (I got this from the config.log). Referring to the configure script config.dlz.in is used to enable USE_DLZ, but how?

Re: USB CD-ROM support
I've tried USB booting, while my BIOS supports it (the boot process starts) the installation hangs at the OpenBSD prompt. It just sits there indefinitely if I leave it. I've also tried PXE booting with VERY limited success. I get it to pull the pxeboot file over tftp, but after that it just can't find the kernel file (bsd.rd or just bsd as I recall). I've read countless articles/howtos/faqs and still haven't been able to get the pxebooting working. This would be a good option, perhaps someone can point out what I was doing wrong? DHCPD server setup: CentOS 5.2 dhcpd configured to point to file 'pxeboot' tftpd with server root at /tftpdroot and all files (pxeboot, bsd, bsd.rd etc) placed in here When I try booting the machine that I want OpenBSD on, it loads the pxeboot file (I see this in the logs) but it keeps timing out looking for the kernel file bsd (there aren't any log messages that tell me anything here). It's my understanding that all the files needed to boot using PXE should be placed in the root of the tftp server. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I know it's not a direct answer to your question, but OpenBSD's PXE installation is extremely easy to implement. It is probably the best option you have at the moment.

Not sure if it is still true, but the installXX.iso files were made in a separate step from the rest of the snapshot, so the MD5 numbers for it may not always be accurate The snapshot distribution process is also very time consuming, when you look at the size of the individual snapshots, they take a while to get to the master distribution site and from there, a while to get to the mirrors. That's especially true of the installXX.iso file, since they are particularly large, so it is very possible the file will change mid-transfer. It's one of those things I never thought much about until I started helping run a mirror...it takes a really long time to "fill" a mirror! In short: if you are paranoid, use the *.tgz files, not the installXX.iso, and THEN look at the MD5 files. If you see some that match and some that don't, you probably got a mid-transfer change, go back and try again an hour or two later. Nick.

You should mount /dev/sd0a on a directory , then copy the two boot files, the /usr/mdec/boot and /usr/mdec/biosboot to the root like this. # mount /dev/sd0a /mnt # cp /usr/mdec/b* /mnt And then you should run installboot like this. # ./usr/mdec/installboot boot /mnt/biosboot sd0 Try this. It might work. ;) Best of luck! > I have grub currently installed on MBR. OpenBSD is on > linux's /dev/sda2. Does anyone know what could be wrong?
