As far as I can tell it is not a joke.  The people entering the
serial numbers might have been wintel users and thus not too bright.
Seagate's quality control dept is clearly missing in action lately.

The idiots in charge of most companies don't care about quality control.

Sigh.  I could easily go on a major rant here, but it wouldn't do us
any good.  Anyone have information or ideas that could get us closer
to a solution?

Re: Fujitsu-siemens machine freezes

[BOG BOG]

Hello,

I have followed your suggestions regarding -current.

amd64 -current (GENERIC.MP) does no longer hangs when trying to detach re0, but 
now, re0 is sometimes detected correctly and sometimes not:

I give the messages in both cases:
Failure:
re0 an pci2 dev0 function 0 "Realtek 8168" rev 0x02: RTL8168C/8111C (0x3c00), 
apic2 int 16 (irq 11), address 00:19:99:54:31:7f
re0: PHY write failed
re0: PHY write failed
re0: no PHY found!
re0: reset never completed!
re0 detached

Success:
re0 an pci2 dev0 function 0 "Realtek 8168" rev 0x02: RTL8168C/8111C (0x3c00), 
apic2 int 16 (irq 11), address 00:19:99:54:31:7f
rgephy0 at re0 phy 7: RTL8169S/8110S PHY, rev. 2

the controller is: 10/100/1000 MBit/s Realtek RTL8111C, so i think the kernel 
sometimes initializes the controller with a driver and sometimes with a 'close 
enough driver', and in the later case it works.

i will also try tonight a freshly backed i386 release, which initially failed 
to build due to a link error(but the kernel and userland completed flawlessly), 
however a second attempt with a new update from cvs completed successfully.

i'll let you now the results.

thank you for your support,

bogdan

p.s.
please let me know if somebody needs the port 8283 opened anymore.

nc -w with -z does not seems to work.

[Rajkumar S]

Hi,

I am using Openbsd 4.4 GENERIC#1021 and nc to check if a port is open or
not. The command I use is

#  /usr/bin/nc -z -w 2 192.168.1.10  80

The command works fine if 192.168.1.10 is up, but if ip is non existing it
takes about 1m15sec to exit.

# time /usr/bin/nc -v  -z -w 2 192.168.3.96 80
nc: connect to 192.168.3.96 port 80 (tcp) failed: Connection timed out
1m14.99s real 0m0.00s user 0m0.00s system

Help says  -w is timeout for connects and final net reads, so nc should exit
after 2 seconds, and it does exit when tested under linux, but not under
openbsd.

Am i doing some thing wrong or is this a bug in nc ?

You haven't included an error in your message above.  In fact, the
message you did include is from your server connecting to Dell.  Your
server being the sending machine, and Dell the receiver.
"STARTTLS=client" is the clue there.

The "verify=FAIL" bit simply means your server could not verify the
certificate from smtp.ins.dell.com for whatever reason (misconfigured CA
path, self-signed cert, etc).  It doesn't indicate delivery failure.

There is nothing wrong with your configuration.  That particular Dell mail 
server is talking to your mail server in that particular way (TLS/SSL) with a 
self-signed certificate.  It simply means that the conversation is encrypted 
by that the verification of the communication partner cannot be validated with 
a certificate authority.  You are mis-reading the log message.

http://www.sendmail.org/~ca/email/starttls.html

Here is an outbound email from one of my servers...

Jan 28 08:46:47 chromatic sm-mta[18018]: STARTTLS=client, 
relay=meleagros.siemens.com., version=TLSv1/SSLv3, verify=FAIL,

And one inbound...

The relay is simply the the partner in the transaction.

I'm afraid that the answer to that is:
/usr/X11R6/include/X11/keysymdef.h

where you strip the XK_ from the name to get what you want. X is not
very friendly when it comes to that. That information could have been
found in:
man 3 XStringToKeysym
which i'll admit i would not have expected you to find, X docs are not
good.

bind M-period unmap

that list can be found in /usr/X11R6/include/X11/keysymdef.h which is
less than optimal.  i'm not sure we want to fully document that in
cwmrc(5) though; it would be nice if X did so, but i'm afraid it is not

i'm not sure yet about how to document this stuff.

ral(4) questions

[Anthony Roberts]

Hi,

I've been having issues with ral(4) wifi cards, and in going through misc@
archives I've seen similar issues reported by others: the card tends to
stop working under load, down/up can sometimes fix it temporarily.

I also noticed that several of the people reporting this issue have rt2561
cards, which is the same chipset my existing cards have. I am curious if
anyone knows of a version of this chipset that doesn't suffer from this
problem.

TIA for any advice. :)

I recently set up a wireless access point on a machine that already had a
wired access point on it. At first I had a similar situation to yours. I
could "connect" to the access point, yet could not pass info to and from the
web. That is, my wireless machines were getting an IP address, but the the
gateway address was wrong . . . it was from the wired access point.

The problem was how I set up my dhcpd.conf. I had both the wired and the
wifi subnets in the same *shared network* block. To fix this I set up two
shared network blocks, one for the wired and the wireless.

IMO, thats best way to start it for now. This also allows to create
the socket in a private directory (by using -s option and the
exporting the AUDIODEVICE environment variable).

somewhat ugly, but yes, that's the expected behaviour. Each aucat
process will become the client of the previous one, because it
doesn't check if there's already anoter process running.

Problems with ath wireless on 4.2

[Adam Retter]

Hi there I am hoping someone can help me with a weird wireless problem...

I have a Soekris net4801 with an Atheros AR5212 mini-PCI card and
OpenBSD 4.2 installed - I am trying to use the Soekris as an Access
Point amongst other things.

I setup the Atheros card with the hostname.ath0 file, containing -

up inet 192.168.0.254 netmask 255.255.255.0 media autoselect mediaopt
hostap mode 11a nwid MY_NET nwkey mykey12345678

Now from my laptop (192.168.0.251) I can see the MY_NET Wireless
network and connect to it fine (excellent signal strength), however at
a first glance I dont seem to be to send any data forwards or
backwards?!? I cant ping either machine from the other.

However "route show" on the Soekris does show an entry for the laptops
192.168.0.251 address so there must of been an interchange of arp
traffic, and the arp table (arp -a) shows the laptops IP address and
MAC address -
? (192.168.0.251) at 00:1b:77:a8:66:f4 on ath0

On the laptop (Windows XP), the arp table does have the Soekris IP in
it but its marked as invalid -
192.168.0.254   00-00-00-00   invalid

Now I dont understand how I can connect to the wireless network and
have the arp tables on each machine know about the others IP addresses
but yet am unable to send any tcp/ip traffic forwards and backwards. I
have disabled pf with "pfctl -d" to test this as well, with no change
in result.

Is there some configuration I have missed to enable tcp/ip on the ath0
interface? or any suggestions about what the problem may be?

Thanks

Problem with isakmpd, PAYLOAD_MALFORMED and packet lengths

[Martín Coco]

Hi misc,

I've been trying to configure the following IPSec client using
certificates, but with no success. I want to use it a roadwarrior setup:

http://www.ncp-e.com/en/vpn-szenarien-produkte/vpn-produkte/secure-entry-client.html

Of course, I'm using isakmpd on the OpenBSD side (4.3). I did manage to
get it working with PSK though. The problem is reported on the client
side like this (error line):

Ike: phase1:name(NCP test) - error - PAYLOAD_MALFORMED

isakmpd reports that phase 1 has finished though:

203820.350607 Default isakmpd: phase 1 done: [snip]

There are a couple of odd things that I'm noticing. When I run isakmpd
to dump everything to /var/run/isakmpd.pcap, I then review it with
tcpdump, one of the packets is like this (I've changed the IP addresses
to ficticious ones):

18:40:45.034602 200.1.2.3.500 > 190.1.8.1.500: [udp sum ok] isakmp v1.0

It seems to be of 204 bytes.

I got this very same result when capturing on the physical interface of
the VPN gateway, but I can't find the pcap file right now. So there's
nothing in the middle changing this value. Also the Flags fields seem to
differ.

Also, right now, for some reason, the client is trying to use udpencap
(it wasn't in the previous example), and I'm getting udp checksum
errors. I did get the certificates authentication working with
thegreenbowclient, but couldn't get it to work when using Windows Mobile
(my real objective), so I'm moving on with this one (by the way, did any
of you have any luck configuring thegreenbow using Windows Mobile with a
OpenBSD VPN gateway?).

So I really don't know if isakmpd is messing with the packets somewhere.

Here's my isakmpd.conf file:

do you mean that "route -n flush" does not flush the routing
table?

make sure you're on recent and in-sync base and kernel, and 
show us the routing table before and after the flush, as well
as the output of the flush command.

if you haven't looked for a while, things may work a little
differently to how you're used to; the kernel routing table
supports route priorities nowadays (i.e. you can have
multiple routes showing up, only the routes pointing at
active interfaces are used).

I use rtorrent.  This is a console based client , check the ports.  It
works fine and has many features and views.  The only problem I have
with it is that everytime you start the client it rehashes all of your
files.  It does this even if the option to rehash complete files is
set to off or no in the .rtorrent.rc file in ~   which can a pita if
you have some huge files.  I typically keep it running all the time so
this isn't really THAT much of an issue for me.

Hello.

I must be missing something obvious here.

I am trying to unmap keys in cwm. When I press Ctrl + ? I get a little
window pop up which says 'application'. Well anyway, I want to unmap it
(among other bindings), so I put this in ~/.cwmrc:

bind C-? unmap

And it is a no go. Also tried bind C-[63] unmap, which also failed to

Am I doing something obviously wrong here?

Without GUI, a small console client that runs as daemon. Perfect for
remote operation. No need for screen!

And for building .torrent files have a look at the new mktorrent port
(posted some days ago on ports@)

Thanks for noticing the pending category.  Since
src/usr.bin/sendbug/sendbug.c rev. 1.59, the following fields appear to
be missing:
Category
Class
Organization
Originator
Priority
Release
Severity
Submitter-Id

The missing fields apparently result in the report being categorized as
Pending and not being ack'd to the originator.  I didn't notice the
missing fields when making the report.

Per Ray's advice, I reverted sendbug.c to rev. 1.58 and see that those
fields are again available in the mail template.

How does one update the status of the associated problem reports?

I would like to change the following fields in pending/{6036,6037,6057}:
Category:   kernel
Severity:   critical
Priority:   high
Originator: RD Thrush

Although I didn't have a problem with this (quite happy to

Try plugging in a USB keyboard (try each different USB port in turn,

Alternatively try moving the harddrive to a different computer and

Can't boot on macbook

[Christiano Farina Haesbaert]

I can't boot the installation CD with a macbook, with the bsd.rd  
kernel I have the bug #5653.

With bsd.mp my keyboard locks up when it asks for a root device.

It's the last generation of white macbooks.
Any tips ?
Thanks.

Can someone close PR/5965, please? "Autodisabling" wpi gone after 
suggestion (sorry, could not find that message now) to update a few 
weeks ago (there was some work on wpi(4)). Big thanks to all involved, 
BTW. ;)

... Or there is another, better way for such requests?

Hi Jordi:

It's good to have another mirror in Spain. I will test it.
I'm subscribed to the Spanish FreeBSD list too, and recently to this one.

Thanks,

Try installing the gtk-*-cups package to see if it makes a difference.

Firefox and Abiword don't see my printer

[Shagbag OpenBSD]

I'm hoping someone can help me with this problem.  I have an HP LaserJet
1018 printer attached to my linux server on which I am running the p910nd
daemon.  My OpenBSD (4.4-RELEASE) laptop has cups installed and cups can see
the printer (ie. when I look for printers in Firefox at
http://localhost:631I can see the printer listed as operating).  I
have compiled the foo2zjs
printer driver (needed for the HPLJ1018) on my OpenBSD laptop without any
problems.

However, Firefox (File > Print) only shows 'Print to File' in my list of
printers and AbiWord (File > Print) only shows 'Create a PDF document' and
'Generic Postscript'.  Neither gives any option for my HPLJ1018.  I have the
ePDFview package installed on my OpenBSD laptop and, surprisingly, it
recognises the printer and I have no problems printing from it.

Has anyone experienced this problem and knows the answer?  Why does ePDFview
work while Firefox and AbiWord don't?  How do I get them to work?

Kind regards

Thanks for this new mirror.

Understood... I'm looking for a different vendor, too. :-|

Right.

It may well be that some combinations don't work, but at some point,
I'd say that this should fall into the category of "you get what you
pay for". IOW, I can't imagine that doing this kind of stuff right
would cost more than, say, $1 for a drive, and $5 for a motherboard,
and I think that everyone should be prepared to add, say, $50 to a
small server to get these things, ie, (much) less broken designs, imho.
But the bigger problem is that currently there appears to be no way to
add $50, or even $500, to a server, to get these things right because
there seems to be no vendor who offers such stuff.

Hi all,

Finally I've finished the initial rsync process and I've already the 3th
OpenBSD mirror in Spain:

as a ftp server. The available bandwidth is 50Mbps at maximum.

Especial thanks to Janne Jonhansson and Alexander von Gernler for their
advices and help. And thanks also to my company directors board team to
donate the bandwidth to support OpenBSD project.

missing sendbug reports

[RD Thrush]

I've noticed the last three sendbug reports have gone missing, ie. no
ack was received nor was the report logged in the OpenBSD bug tracking
database.

sendbug(1) mails the report to gn...@openbsd.org.  The highest
priority MX for openbsd.org is shear.ucar.edu which received each
report correctly (see appended sendmail maillog).  What happened to
these reports?

FWIW, I've put the local copies of the associated bug reports at
