2009-04-02 Thread Theo de Raadt
This guy some of you think is so honest.  He's filtering port 25
from cvs.openbsd.org.

For what reason would he do that?

Today was the first time I tried to mail him, cc'd to misc@openbsd.org,
in a couple of months.

So what's that all about?  He's so honest, some of you think, because
he bought you a beer.

I have been in commuinication with a few people who have told me

project, collected at European conference tables -- and that this
money has not made it to the OpenBSD project.  These reports are not
coming from people who gave these donatiosn, but from people who
collected them at tables and gave them to Wim to give to the project.

   Hello
  
   Could somebody please tell me how to use a dvd-rw as user?
   I'am trying to install Slackware using qemu, and the dvd does not
   work properly, it works well as root. I've tried adding the user
   to operator group, users group, and declaring it at fstab without
   optimum results.
 
  by default root can read and write /dev/rcd0c.  operator group can
  only read.
 
  you need to be able to write to /dev/rcd0c to put a filesystem on
  a cd/dvd.
 
  you can change the permissions on /dev/rcd0c or use sudo.
 
  Using sudo is a great way to handle this situation, but this depends
  on how much you trust the user, and whether or not you can properly
  configure /etc/sudoers with visudo.
 
  NOTE: Jake only said change the permissions but he did not say to
  change them permanently on disk. Of course, changing permissions
  permanently on disk is an option, but in many situations it is not
  the best option.
 
  If as root you fumble-finger the chown/chmod command on your
  devices, stuff a user into the wrong group, or don't fully
  understand all the esoteric issues involved in device permissions,
  you could easily be in a world of hurt.
 
  If you really want to go the route of changing permissions on a
  workstation, the best way to do it is using the existing features
  available /etc/fbtab to change permissions on devices automatically
  and temporarily at user login and logout. See man fbtab for details.
 
  This exact situation of an unprivileged local user needing access to
  devices is the reason why fbtab exists.
 

 Reading fbtab(5), it seems that it changes the device permissions
 whenever any matching user logs in. So what happens if two users log
 in (say, one on the first virtual term, one on the second)? Does the
 second get control of all the devices and the first is just out of
 luck?

It depends on how you configure things. It's just a chmod, so you could
set the permissions however you want (owner/group/everyone). At times
you would *want* the other guy to be out of luck.

The tty(4) used to login, is the trigger for fbtab to the change the
permissions. If you look at your /etc/fbtab file, you'll find you're
already using it.

If you log into the first virtual terminal (i.e. the default), you're
on /dev/ttyC0. If you log into the second virtual terminal, you're
on /dev/ttyC1, and so on. Though they are called Virtual Terminals
and you've got a number of them, they are, in essence, device files
associated with hardware terminal ports. Yes, the names, hardware
versus virtual, do seem a bit contradictory until you read `man 4 tty`
and think about it.

The Virtual Terminals (normally) all use the same single of user
interface equipment (keyboard, mouse, ...), but the equipment is only
tied to one virtual terminal at a time. Yep, by switching virtual
terminals, you're basically reassigning control of the equipment from
one hardware terminal port to another.

You might be doing something highly improbable, namely you are
successfully running a Hydra System (i.e. multiple keyboards, mice,
monitors, ... all connected to one system) -- If you've got that
working, please tell me how. (; -- In this case you could have two
different people logged in *locally* via UI equipment. Sadly, I do not
recall how tty(4)'s and/or virtual terminals are assigned on a hydra
system. I'm fairly certain it still involves the typicall TTY
dial-in port waiting for a connection/login (via getty), but I do not
recall (and can't find) the details on how the hardware gets assigned.

In contrast, if you log in remotely via ssh, you use a pseudo
terminal (pty(4)), so the local keyboard, mouse and whatever are not
assigned. Again it might seem contradictory, but if you're running the
X Window system, and you start an xterm window, the xterm is also
assigned a pseudo terminal --the reason being is the keyboard, mouse
and whatnot are *already* tied to the Graphics Virtual
Terminal (/dev/X0 typically assigned to CTRL-ALT-F5) and the X Server
is responsible for passing keystrokes to the xterm window.

Yep, when you start X Windows, you actually switch virtual terminals,
so the keyboard, mouse, monitor and whatever get reassigned to it. If
you look at the default /etc/fbtab, you'll see it handles the
reassignment of the your mouse device (/dev/wsmous /dev/wsmouse0). I do
not personally know why only the mouse is reassigned to the X/Graphics
virtual terminal via fbtab and your keyboard and monitor are not, but
there is probably a good reason for it... ---I like to believe said
good reason is sitting quietly, waiting, in a very large pile of good
reasons that I do not know and need to discover. (;

 On a the lower and fundamental levels, solid state storage does not have

 (SSD's) currently available have been designed for the sake of selling
 into existing markets where being ass-backwards compatibility is,
 unfortunately, a requirement.

eh, that's just this generation.
They've been available in some seriously kick-butt (for the day)
formats for literally decades on various platforms...but the price
was high, the issues were complex, and therefore, sales were low
and prices stayed high.

(back in the mid 1980s, I used a mainframe at school with a Solid
State Disk system for swap, as a way around limited physical RAM
capabilities in the system.  I hate to say this, but I think it was
a whopping 16M in size (though there may have been several of them).)

(side trip: anyone under 40 remember bubble memory?  don't answer
that on list, please...)

The new generation of stuff is mindless and simple...and sells like
hotcakes, and the price has therefore dropped to the point where it
sells like hotcakes...on sale.

YES, it loses much of the point to have a disk with no moving parts
that interfaces like a disk with moving parts.  But then, it makes
no sense to have a disk with variable geometry being treated as a
drive with fixed geometry.  But we've had it for 25 years...and
don't wait up for the change...If it greases the wheels and lets
things happen, greatit beats not happening at all.

 Though my employers would shoot me for violating an NDA, and Theo
 would shoot me for signing an NDA in the first place, for me it's tough
 to make a living with out them, so I have to be vague and leave out
 important details.
 
 There are efforts afoot to abandon the limitations and organization of
 rotational storage, so both existing disk layout tools such as fdisk
 and disklabel, and even file systems, will eventually need to change to
 benefit from new technology.

actually, more file systems and boot loaders than disk layout tools.
The disk tools are pretty much a bunch of sectors thing, and have
been for quite some time now.

 The whole concept of sectors, 512 byte or otherwise, on solid state
 storage systems/devices is really just a sad kludge. The concept of a
 disk controller is already out dated and will soon be abandoned.

well..flash memory still has pages or similar that have to be cleared
and rewritten, at least according to my (non-ECC) memory...So, kinda
sector-ish.

Really, I'd think the idea of sectors has been more of an OS construct
than a hardware construct for a long time.  Back in the Amiga days
(again from non-ECC personal memory), they were loading entire tracks
from the floppy into RAM at a time, rather than sector-by-sector, in
large parts because once you got over 100k of RAM or so..you could.

I don't think you will see OSs allocating disk space on one-byte
boundaries any time soon.  I could be wrong...but I've seen some OSs
that managed to handle data on subdivided blocks...and eventually
they decided it wasn't worth the effort.  As disk size has grown,
trying to save a few K here and there through added complexity
is highly questionable...

 The following is publicly available information, is nearly two years
 old, is still using ass-backwards compatibility, and is obviously quite
 a few redesign revisions behind reality, but it should give you
 an idea of where the storage world is headed:
 http://www.tgdaily.com/index.php?option=com_contenttask=viewid=34065

Former employer could have used some of those for a poorly written
app they seemed to be stuck with.  At one point, we were looking
at some $250,000 battery-backed RAM disks.  Cost was the killer, but
it wasn't a quarter million? HAHAHHAA!  NO FREAKING WAY, much more
hm.  don't think we can justify that now.  However, the guy who
fired me sunk many times that into some very bad solutions to the
problem.

Another problem all there will be with going in a new direction
is that it is a multi-prong problem -- storage HW, computer HW and
OS all have to support whatever is done.  The fact that you are
signing NDAs causes me to believe it is going to be a specialty
combination of HW and SW for some time...

'course, I spent about 20 years hoping that One Day the IBM XT/AT
abomination that we've been stuck with would be replaced.  I think
I've given up.

holding the OS, but I am guessing you meant I cannot have 2 drives in
mirror, built with softraid and bioctl, that the OS is on?

Many Thanks

No. I meant what I said. You have wd1b and wd2b clearly stated in your
config file, /root/raid0.conf. Unless you've already disklabel'd
the wd1 and wd2 disks to have a 'b' partition, then something is
terribly wrong.

There is a very good reason why many people around here have a bad view
of how-to documents. Theses supposed how-to documents you find on
the web are often completely wrong. OpenBSD strives to have accurate and
useful documentation in it's manuals. You should always start by reading
the OpenBSD manuals first.

$ man raidctl

If you *only* want to do RAID 1 (mirroring), and you are not booting
to the volume, you might be better off looking at `man softraid` --This
is the new RAID functionality being built into OpenBSD. Using softraid
will save you from building a custom kernel with RAIDframe support,
but be sure to read the CAVEATS section of the softraid man page to make
sure softraid fits your needs.

Hello,

You didn't specify -L/usr/local/lib in your compilation flags (which is
where libdb.so.* resides, and which is why you can't find it). You
should add /usr/local/include as extra include directory, and
/usr/local/lib as extra library directory when running the ./configure
script.

Cheers,

 Install 4.4 i386 on to sd0

Your 2 x 1 TB Seagate hard drives seem to be sd0 and sd1.

But in your configuration, you refer several times to other devices:

 disklabel -E wd1
[...]
 /usr/mdec/installboot -v /mnt/boot /usr/mdec/biosboot wd1
[...]
 disklabel wd1  /root/disklabel.wd1
 disklabel -R wd0 /root/disklabel.wd1
 raidctl -a /dev/wd0b raid0

I guess that your problem is here. Replace every 'wd' devices with 'sd'.


Chris Harries a icrit :
 Afternoon,
 
 Well on an i386 system with 2 x 1 TB Seagate hard drives, I generally follow
 this method from what I know and have learnt:
 
 Install 4.4 i386 on to sd0
 Reboot
 
 Patch source tree to 4.4 PATCH:
 cd /usr/src
 mount /dev/cd0a /mnt
 tar -zxvpf /mnt/src.tar.gz -C /usr/src ./sys
 umount /mnt
 cvs -qd anon...@anoncvs.ca.openbsd.org:/cvs get -rOPENBSD_4_4 -P src
 
 Create new kernel with patches:
 cd /usr/src
 cvs -d anon...@anoncvs.uk.openbsd.org:/cvs up -Pd
 make -k cleandir
 rm -rf /usr/obj/*
 make obj
 
 
 cd /usr/src/etc/mtree
 install -c -o root -g wheel -m 660 special /etc/mtree
 install -c -o root -g wheel -m 444 4.4BSD.dist /etc/mtree
 mtree -qdef /etc/mtree/4.4BSD.dist -p / -u
 cd /usr/src/etc
 env DESTDIR=/ make distrib-dirs
 
 cd /usr/src/sys/arch/sparc64/conf/
 config GENERIC
 cd ../compile/GENERIC
 make clean  make depend  make
 cp /bsd /bsd.old
 cp bsd /bsd
 chown root:wheel /bsd
 reboot
 
 cd /usr/src/
 make build
 cd /dev
 cp /usr/src/etc/etc.sparc64/MAKEDEV ./
 ./MAKEDEV all
 
 Sysmerge
 reboot
 
 Now we have a full patched system, add raidframe:
 cd /sys/arch/i386/conf
 cat  GENERIC.RAID  EOF
 include arch/'uname -m'/conf/GENERIC # include GENERIC configuration
 option RAID_AUTOCONFIG # automatically configure RAIDframe arrays on boot
 pseudo-device raid 4 # RAIDframe disk driver
 EOF
 
 Re-create the kernel with patches and raidframe:
 config GENERIC.RAID
 cd ../compile/GENERIC.RAID
 make clean depend  make
 cp /bsd /bsd.noraid
 install -o root -g wheel -m 644 bsd /
 
 Test it boots ok, no problems. Now on to raidframe:
 fdisk -i sd1
 Yes to the MBR question
 
 disklabel -E wd1
 Create 512mb A: 4.2BSD
 Create *(rest of space) d: RAID
 
 Create new filesystem and mount:
 newfs sd1a
 mount /dev/sd1a /mnt
 cp /bsd /usr/mdec/boot /mnt
 /usr/mdec/installboot -v /mnt/boot /usr/mdec/biosboot wd1
 umount /mnt
 
 Create raid0.conf
 cat  /root/raid0.conf  EOF
 START array
 1 2 0
 
 START disks
 /dev/sd2d
 /dev/sd1d
 
 START layout
 128 1 1 1
 
 START queue
 fifo 100
 EOF
 
 raidctl -C /root/raid0.conf raid0
 raidctl -I 0904020 (the date) raid0
 
 Check and add arrays:
 raidctl -s raid0
 raidctl -A root raid0
 
 At this point, everything seams as expected
 
 Create radi0's partitions:
 Disklabel -E raid0
 
 A: 5G / 4.2BSD
 B: 2048M swap
 D: 50G /var/mysql 4.2bsd
 E: 500G /var/vmail 4.2bsd
 F: 10G /var   4.2bsd
 G: 1G /tmp4.2bsd
 H: 10G /usr   4.2bsd
 I: 10G /home 4.2bsd
 
 Create the new filesystems:
 For x in a d e f g h I; do newfs raid0${x}; done
 
 Seams to work fine.
 
 Mount and copy RAID:
 mount /dev/raid0a /mnt
 cd /mnt
 mkdir usr tmp home var var/mysql var/vmail
 mount /dev/raid0d /mnt/var.mysql
 mount /dev/raid0e /mnt/var/vmail
 mount /dev/raid0f /mnt/var
 mount /dev/raid0g /mnt/tmp
 mount /dev/raid0h /mnt/usr
 mount /dev/raid0i /mnt/home
 
 Transfer raid:
 d /mnt
 tar -Xcpf - / | tar -xvpf -
 rm /mnt/etc/fstab
 cat  /mnt/etc/fstab  EOF
 /dev/raid0a / ffs rw 1 1
 /dev/raid0d /var/mysql ffs rw 1 2
 /dev/raid0e /var/vmail ffs rw 1 2
 /dev/raid0f /var ffs rw 1 2
 /dev/raid0g /tmp ffs rw 1 2
 /dev/raid0h /usr ffs rw 1 2
 /dev/raid0i /home ffs rw 1 2
 EOF
 
 Umount partitions and reboot:
 umount /mnt/*; umount /mnt
 halt (reboot)
 
 boot boot sd1a:/bsd to boot to 2nd hard disk
 
 Check, mirror, hot add, reconstruct:
 mount  uname -v  raidctl -s raid0
 disklabel wd1  /root/disklabel.wd1
 disklabel -R wd0 /root/disklabel.wd1
 raidctl -a /dev/wd0b raid0
 raidctl -vF component0 raid0
 
 And there is hangs, and displays
 
 RECON: initiating reconstruction on row - col 0 - spare at row 0 col 2.
 Quiescence reached...
 
 How does this differ from what you do?
 
 Many thanks, again
 Chris

 Hello Chris,
 
 Before setting up your mirror, I recommanded you to read RAID options
 for OpenBSD from the OpenBSD FAQ
 (http://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq14.html#RAID) and then the following
 manuals (which I did when I teached myself making a RAIDFRAME mirror on

 With the same steps, my configuration is working on 4.3  4.4 (amd64).
 
 You can also *precisely* describe your steps (commands and traces), and
 in this case, I could easely help you.

 Thank you for your advice Alexis, I have now tried to do this using wd2d and
 it does indeed make sense. I am still having problems however. Everything
 seams to go fine, to what the 2 guides I am following suggest, but when
 reconstructing the data is where I get stuck!
 
 When running raidctl -vF component0 raid0 I see
 
 RECON: initiating reconstruction on row - col 0 - spare at row 0 col 2.
 Quiescence reached...
 
 And that is where it stops, just sitting there. I am guessing when you do
 the command it brings up a bar of how much it has reconstructed with maybe
 an ETA, but I don't see this, no hard drive light flashing.
 
 Befor that command I do
 
 disklabel wd1  /root/disklabel.wd1
 disklabel -R wd0 /root/disklabel.wd1
 raidctl -a /dev/wd0b raid0
 
 Which seams fine with me. Did you following a guide to teach your self this?
 I have tried reading over man raidctl but it's now showing me anything more
 then I know already and what I am not doing correct to cause this
 reconstruction to just hang...? Any ideas

Hello Chris,

Before setting up your mirror, I recommanded you to read RAID options
for OpenBSD from the OpenBSD FAQ
(http://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq14.html#RAID) and then the following
manuals (which I did when I teached myself making a RAIDFRAME mirror on
4.2) :

* raid(4),
* raidctl(8),
* newfs(8),
* disklabel(8),
* fdisk(8),
* boot(8),
* installboot(8),
* dd(1),

With the same steps, my configuration is working on 4.3  4.4 (amd64).

You can also *precisely* describe your steps (commands and traces), and
in this case, I could easely help you.

Best regards,

Chris Harries a icrit :
 Thank you for your advice Alexis, I have now tried to do this using wd2d
and
 it does indeed make sense. I am still having problems however. Everything
 seams to go fine, to what the 2 guides I am following suggest, but when
 reconstructing the data is where I get stuck!

 When running raidctl -vF component0 raid0 I see

 RECON: initiating reconstruction on row - col 0 - spare at row 0 col 2.

 And that is where it stops, just sitting there. I am guessing when you do
 the command it brings up a bar of how much it

The only thing I can think of is that you could get what you

Same previous swap between 'b' and 'd' partitions. If it is not a
copy/paste issue while writing your email, try:

raidctl -a /dev/wd0d raid0

or

raidctl -a /dev/sd0d raid0

 Ah, my appolgiest, stress is kicking in. They should all be sd's, they where
 wd but I changed my BIOS to have AHCI or something, and they changed to sd,
 the motherboard has onboard RAID but with it turned on OPENBSD doesnbt work,
 so its either off or AHCI, it doesn't seam to effect it with it on other
 then changing device letters so I left it on. But I get the same results
 weather I use AHCI or not just using sd0 sd1 or wd0 wd1.
 
 So, sorry, just a typo there!

You can assign priorities and also assign queues using bandwidth keyword for

You can find more examples on PF FAQ page.

Re: Donations (was, sadly, European orders)

2009-04-02 Thread Theo de Raadt
 Having some sort of Report once a year about Donation Money or even also the
 CD and Shirt Sales money and where it goes would help to shut up even the
 most ignorant. Reports possibly ala' FreeBSD Foundation; but if not, not; i
 personally have no doubt that you are the last Guy how would enrich himself
 on Money donated to OpenBSD, screw that.

Out of donations received by me, a rough accounting. I am estimating
parts of it because I cannot make time to dig through the file.

c2k8
[the foundation paid for the hackspace/sleepspace]
~7 developers had their travel paid, $11,000

p2k8
11 developers paid their own travel
2 had their travel paid from donations - $1800
hotel - a bit less than $5000, if I recall

h2k8
11 developers paid their own travel
5 had their travel paid from donations - $4000
hotel - a bit less than $8000

n2k9
16 developers paid their own travel
3 had their travel paid from donations - $3000
hotel - a bit more than $8000, if I recall right

c2k9
[the foundation will pay for the hackspace/sleepspace]
6 developers flights already paid - $10,000

Anyone upset about their donations being spent that way?  If you want
to know how we all benefited from the spending donnation money on the
hackathons please look at http://www.openbsd.org/plus.html and follow
the release links at the top to; bracket the hackathons before the
release, and you can guess what happened at a particular hackathon.

I don't know how big people think the donations are, but sure, it is
substantial.  Yet it is not as much as these amounts above.  The
remaining is paid out of my salary, and yes, my salary is CD sales
dependent.  And yes, everyone including Nadine thinks that is a
ridiculous situation, but so it is.

As can be seen above, other expenses are handled by the OpenBSD
Foundation, which is financially entirely independent of me.  I have
no say over what they do.  Like you all, I can simply thank them for
accepting contributions in the way they are fiscally permitted to, and
then helping to pay for the things which they deem worthy.  For
instance, the big hackathons are run by them.  Hopefully some smaller
ones eventually, too.

When you see me in another thread mentioning that Wim only
transferring 1000+2402 EUR donation money to the project for the last
5 years or so, you can get a clearer picture.  Since all the other
things he bought for OpenBSD over the the last 5+ years have now been
charged back to the Computer Shop, it is just not plausible that this
is the sum of donations from Europe.  Is Europe that cheap, or is
there another explanation?

A note -- this money is received as gifts.  Then it is spent against
project things, and each expenditure of course it generates a receipt.
But that receipt cannot be written off against anyone's taxes.  And it
isn't.  Doing so would be fraud.  It isn't an expense since there is
no income.

It is a zero sum game, except for the Aeroplan points :)

If your ISPs follow best practices and filter the traffic you send
(to prevent attempts to spoof packets), you won't be able to do this.
If they don't, then maybe they will start doing this sometime and
cause you problems in the future.

But you can have a separate hostname pointing at the address of
the second line, or just use the ip address in the URL, and punt
off certain traffic to the other line that way.

For this you'll want to use reply-to PF rules so that requests
arriving on one line have the replies sent out the same line rather
than to wherever the default route points. It's something like the
load balance outgoing traffic example in the PF FAQ in reverse.

You  sort of can on the outbond side by using the route-to option and using
multiple matching interface/gateways.

Route-to { if1 gw1, if1 gw1, if2 gw2 } round-robin...

This would prefer if1 over if2 for 2/3 the traffic.

Sorry if the syntax isn't quite right as I sent this from my phone.  Also be

I don't care what the project does with my money; it was a gift, a

However, when I buy a CD-set it is not for the product (that's

case with KD85, I really appreciate Theo taking the time to
explain the situation.  He does not have to, but doing so is,

At any rate, this whole thing does not change anything for me.
I just feel sad for the OpenBSD project that they did not get
what they expected from CD sales in Europe.

OpenBSDEurope - is this a new seller covering Europe now Wim has been 
dropped as supplier?  If I buy from this seller will the money be going

OpenBSDEurope is a new UK-based seller who has showed up; keen to do
business now that there is space for new seller.  They are not
associated with OpenBSD directly, except I gave permission for the
word OpenBSD to be used by them in that way.  Almost all resellers we
are talk to are actually offering or insisting on pre-payment for
shipments to them, which stands in stark contrast to the way Wim did
business (requesting payment on just the actual production cost of the
CD, to avoid paying VAT on the real price, and then retaining the
payments for roughly 5 years).

Some of the existing European distributors will still get their
product from Wim this time around, since Austin convinced me that we
should still give Wim a quantity.  This is to avoid shock to the
buyers at the end of the chain, ie you.  To me, that's like feeding 
a dog who just bit your leg, but we also feel for you customers who's
credit cards Wim charged before we even have manufacturing done.

Same as with any other reseller who does clean business, 60% of the CD
sales will go to the Computer Shop.  Then Computer Shop will then
support the project out of the proceeds on very clear terms that we
have come to agree with over the years.  This part works very well,
thanks to Austin's dilligent attention to detail.

All the other resellers have been legit and good (well, there was one
other smaller one that caused trouble for a bit).  Buying from Wim,
much less than 60% per CD has made it back to the project over the last
decade.  I shudder to think of the value.  Austin is still calculating
the full losses we have encountered.

So go ahead, buy from OpenBSDEurope.  They're new, keen, and best way
for me to be here in a year saying they are legit is for people to
find out.

Those of you who cancel orders with Wim and move to another seller
who they know is not ordering from Wim?  Well, it is your call :-)

There is no need to do such contracts with resellers who --

or
b) pay on standard net-30 or such terms

but more importantly
c) don't get trusted to take donations for the project
d) don't get to do double accounting for things they spend

   also deduct the receipt against their taxes
e) don't get to withhold payment for many years

i) print other things they were not granted the rights to
   do and then keep the profits
j) then _transfer_ the artwork to other people for making

The situation is less favorable for these new resellers but it also
means noone can be taken advantage of.  They also cannot do what Wim
did to us.

Don't worry.  These are regular resellers.  And I am very happy to
see them show up!  Welcome, Liam!



Re: Donations (was, sadly, European orders)

2009-04-02 Thread Marti Martinez
Does anybody here remember the sound and fury quite a few years back
when Theo (or someone) posted a picture of his new bike shortly after
a release -- I can't seem to find it in the archives. Anyhow, it's not
all that important. The point is that suckers like me -- I've made a
couple of paltry donations, but mostly I've just taken years of
awesome code from Theo and the other developers -- really don't have
any say in how the project operates. Giving money to OpenBSD doesn't
put you on the board of directors -- hell, it doesn't even make you a
share holder.

You give your *donations* to Theo and expect -- in good faith -- that
he'll spend them wisely to further OpenBSD development; this doesn't
entitle you to demand reporting on exactly how they're spent. If you
don't like it, then stop donating. When it comes to his *salary*, Theo
is entitled to spend his money however he damned well pleases -- being
an open source developer does not condemn one to a life of asceticism
(not that hiking/backpacking/mountain biking is exactly an extravagant
lifestyle anyhow).

It's a shame that there's a rift between Wim and Theo -- I've never
dealt with Wim on any level, but like pretty much everyone else here
has had good impressions about him over the years. I could hope that
this issue will be resolved to everyone's satisfaction, but I'm
realistic about Theo's abrasive nature, so I'm not holding my breath
;) Regardless, the project will no doubt move forward, and beer-loving
Europeans (and Americans)* will no doubt still be able to get the
software one way or another and give their money to the project in
some form or fashion.

 There are people being misled that I pay for this extravagant
 lifestyle out of donations.  Hah.  Shame on those people who spread
 that rumour, and also shame on those who are so easily deceived.

 I hike near conferences that I am invited to; flights paid for.  I
 hike near hackathons that I must attend with developers -- hackathons
 tend to be near hiking areas but I am not alone in preferring this
 (our hackathon locations are otherwise chosen for cheap accomodation
 with free internet2... perhaps internet2 usage is correleted to good
 terrain..).  Once a year I pay with my hard earned salary for a trip
 to hike somewhere.  Then one further time a year I use the reward
 points -- from all my other flights and hackathon hotel bills and
 developer flights paid with donation money -- to get to another hiking
 destination.

 Yes... I have to take time off to do this, but as many of you know
 when I get back from a trip I go through all the thousands of mails I
 received and the project moves on.  And between hikes in a foreign
 country I find insecure ways to partially get in touch a bit and some
 developers really hate that.  I work hard.  When I don't hike, and
 especially during pre-release times, I sometimes don't get outside for
 days at a time except on forced 10km runs.

 Extravagant?  No.  Just a life choice.

 I have had people accuse me privately of this.  I hope others are not
 so easily deceived.

 Trust me, with the OpenBSD donations are a loss.  Just look at this
 page, and estimate the hotel bills:

http://www.openbsd.org/hackathons.html

 After you estimate those numbers, where would I find money to spend on
 even a slurpee?  Gimme a fucking break...  Donations help a lot, but
 they are not the whole picture.  That is why we are so eager -- as a
 project -- get the money that Wim has taken from us, because it will
 help OpenBSD run more hackathons.  The systems code you are running,
 almost half of it came from hackathons.

 If I can give him that and he can continue to provide this wonderful
 product for free, I'm happy to help him live his lifestyle (even if
 he doesn't play well with others at times).

 It's a deal.

 It's too bad the project
 doesn't have greater financial backing to allow more development of
 the OS goodness we enjoy--and also allow more OpenBSD people to live
 a Theo-like lifestyle, if they so choose.

 Others are trying to do it too, but they are just more quiet about it.

 And then there's the other catagory... the breeders...

Hi,

I have pre-ordered 4.5 on CD, and have been reading the FAQ's,
man pages, mailing list archives, etc for some background on how to
keep the system up to date once installed.

I understand I could follow stable, or current. If I follow stable,
are security updates for ports and packages released to stable, or
just updates to the core release?

I know I could get updates to both core release and ports if I follow
current, but as this is going to be a production server, I would not
feel comfortable running it in on current.

What is the best practise within OpenBSD to keep both the core
and ports/packages up to date security-wise on the 4.5 release?

Thanks,


Al.


The ports -STABLE tree is no longer supported, so what is there on
release is what you'll run. Due to the modifications to the OpenBSD
compiler and other security measures in the system even the -STABLE
ports are better protected than on other systems. If an exploit is
found in one of the ports as it is built/run on other systems, the
exploit will often fail on OpenBSD.

*outside* of the official openbsd project some ports for -STABLE are
updated by people who have an interest in doing specific security
updates to specific ports. You can find the *unoffical* patches here:

http://openbsd.rutgers.edu/

The above requires you to learn how to build your own software within
the ports tree, rather than the typical (and suggested) route for new
users to use the available packages (i.e. pre-compiled ports).

If you're starting off, just stick with following -STABLE until you
learn the system. It's the best way to keep things simple while you're
learning, and it's also a great way to keep things simple when running
production servers.

comes to a grinding halt, the last thing being becoming unresponsive to

different hardware, but are intel or AMD CPUs. I've seen this for a
long time (years), but have no way to reproduce it, and also no way to
catch debug info in the actual cases (eg. boot crash doesn't do
anything), and therefore not reported it, since you don't want
incomplete bug reports. I was so far unable to detect a pattern. A
machine usually runs fine for months, then takes a few hours or up to
2-3 days, to get into that state. If it happens, I can usually only
press the reset button.

If I may have a wish granted, then please, pretty please, try to keep

 For what reason would he do that?

I don't know, either, but since he's allegedly on the road, it might be

Re: FW: raidctl -vF component0 raid0

2009-04-02 Thread Alexis de BRUYN
From raidctl(8) :
-A root dev
[snip]
All components of the set must be of type RAID in the disklabel.
[Snip]
the RAID set must have its `a' partition (aka raid[0..n]a) set up.


 raidctl -A root raid0

 At this point, everything seams as expected

 Create radi0's partitions:
 Disklabel -E raid0

[snip]

 Create the new filesystems:
 For x in a d e f g h I; do newfs raid0${x}; done

 Seams to work fine.

Now that your components are of type RAID, you must create your
filesystems before making the RAID set auto-configurable:

raidctl -A root raid0

and then:

For x in a d e f g h I; do newfs raid0${x}; done

I also noticed:

 Install 4.4 i386 on to sd0

 Afternoon,

 Well on an i386 system with 2 x 1 TB Seagate hard drives, I generally
 follow
 this method from what I know and have learnt:

 Install 4.4 i386 on to sd0
 Reboot

 Patch source tree to 4.4 PATCH:
 cd /usr/src
 mount /dev/cd0a /mnt
 tar -zxvpf /mnt/src.tar.gz -C /usr/src ./sys
 umount /mnt
 cvs -qd anon...@anoncvs.ca.openbsd.org:/cvs get -rOPENBSD_4_4 -P src

 Create new kernel with patches:
 cd /usr/src
 cvs -d anon...@anoncvs.uk.openbsd.org:/cvs up -Pd
 make -k cleandir
 rm -rf /usr/obj/*
 make obj


 cd /usr/src/etc/mtree
 install -c -o root -g wheel -m 660 special /etc/mtree
 install -c -o root -g wheel -m 444 4.4BSD.dist /etc/mtree
 mtree -qdef /etc/mtree/4.4BSD.dist -p / -u
 cd /usr/src/etc
 env DESTDIR=/ make distrib-dirs

 cd /usr/src/sys/arch/sparc64/conf/
 config GENERIC
 cd ../compile/GENERIC
 make clean  make depend  make
 cp /bsd /bsd.old
 cp bsd /bsd
 chown root:wheel /bsd
 reboot

 cd /usr/src/
 make build
 cd /dev
 cp /usr/src/etc/etc.sparc64/MAKEDEV ./
 ./MAKEDEV all

 Sysmerge
 reboot

 Now we have a full patched system, add raidframe:
 cd /sys/arch/i386/conf
 cat  GENERIC.RAID  EOF
 include arch/'uname -m'/conf/GENERIC
 option RAID_AUTOCONFIG
 pseudo-device raid 4
 EOF

 Re-create the kernel with patches and raidframe:
 config GENERIC.RAID
 cd ../compile/GENERIC.RAID
 make clean depend  make
 cp /bsd /bsd.noraid
 install -o root -g wheel -m 644 bsd /

 Test it boots ok, no problems. Now on to raidframe:
 fdisk -i sd1
 (Yes to the MBR question)

 disklabel -E sd1
 Create 512mb A: 4.2BSD
 Create *(rest of space) D: RAID

 Create new filesystem and mount:
 newfs sd1a

In a nutshell, no you can't.

Unless your ISP can bond a pair of connections to a single IP, or load
balance incoming traffic over two IPs. Or if you want to do
round-robin DNS load balancing (bad idea) so some incoming requests
hit one IP, some hit the other. Or if you get your own AS and talk BGP
with your providers.

But you can't take requests in to one IP and send the reply out from
another (think about state). A good ISP won't let you send traffic
over their network from an IP they didn't assign you, so you can't
spoof the from-address of the reply.

So unless you're willing to do some heavy lifting on network configuration,
no.

Instead of mucking about with this, you're better off buying a decent
VPS or dedicated server somewhere with a real network connection.

  So what if it's founder lives a mountain biking/hiking lifestyle?

 There are people being misled that I pay for this extravagant
 lifestyle out of donations.  Hah.  Shame on those people who spread
 that rumour, and also shame on those who are so easily deceived.

 I hike near conferences that I am invited to; flights paid for.  I
 hike near hackathons that I must attend with developers -- hackathons
 tend to be near hiking areas but I am not alone in preferring this
 (our hackathon locations are otherwise chosen for cheap accomodation
 with free internet2... perhaps internet2 usage is correleted to good
 terrain..).  Once a year I pay with my hard earned salary for a trip
 to hike somewhere.  Then one further time a year I use the reward
 points -- from all my other flights and hackathon hotel bills and
 developer flights paid with donation money -- to get to another hiking
 destination.

 Yes... I have to take time off to do this, but as many of you know
 when I get back from a trip I go through all the thousands of mails I
 received and the project moves on.  And between hikes in a foreign
 country I find insecure ways to partially get in touch a bit and some
 developers really hate that.  I work hard.  When I don't hike, and
 especially during pre-release times, I sometimes don't get outside for
 days at a time except on forced 10km runs.

 Extravagant?  No.  Just a life choice.

 I have had people accuse me privately of this.  I hope others are not
 so easily deceived.

 Trust me, with the OpenBSD donations are a loss.  Just look at this
 page, and estimate the hotel bills:

   http://www.openbsd.org/hackathons.html

 After you estimate those numbers, where would I find money to spend on
 even a slurpee?  Gimme a fucking break...  Donations help a lot, but
 they are not the whole picture.  That is why we are so eager -- as a
 project -- get the money that Wim has taken from us, because it will
 help OpenBSD run more hackathons.  The systems code you are running,
 almost half of it came from hackathons.

  If I can give him that and he can continue to provide this wonderful
  product for free, I'm happy to help him live his lifestyle (even if
  he doesn't play well with others at times).

 It's a deal.

  It's too bad the project
  doesn't have greater financial backing to allow more development of
  the OS goodness we enjoy--and also allow more OpenBSD people to live
  a Theo-like lifestyle, if they so choose.

 Others are trying to do it too, but they are just more quiet about it.

  i do not have any problem mounting the dvd, as root or at user desktop;
  the problem is when i do $ qemu -hda slackware.img -cdrom /dev/cd0a
  -boot d -m 128, at this time the dvd has been mounted by root, and it
  fails accessing the dvd.
  
  PS:
  I can read files at the mounted dvd, when qemu fails.
 
 You cannot use the block device node of a mounted device.  Either use the raw
 device, or, unmount it before using qemu. 

Yes, it was the problem, as member of operator group, i had to
umount /dev/cd0a, and then qemu worked correctly.

During the installation, the laptop stop, because of high temperature,
it happened 3 single times. I could not determine which is the cause.
Logs just show high temperature. Compaq V3019US amd64x2 Turion.

Thanks to all of you who help me.

quick question - when we buy CDs, and we donate - does that go

I think if you look through the 140 or so posts of this thread (i.e., the
European orders thread) you'll find your answer, rather than asking Theo
to divulge even more private info.

When you buy a CD from a reseller like Wim, we apparently lose a lot
because his previous debt is still unserviced.

When you buy a CD from a reseller serviced by Wim, we also used to
lose, but more recently we don't lose, and it comes out to around 60%.

When you buy a CD from any other reseller who buys direct from the
Computer Shop, 60% goes to the Computer Shop.

When you buy a CD from the Computer shop, 100% ends up in the Computer
Shop accounts.

OK, so what happens after that.  The Computer Shop deducts the costs
of making the production, which includes the artwork, music, the
actual disk prodution cost, and other parts of the building the
package.  Then they subtract a service fee, shall we say, for
fullfillment of orders and all that kind of stuff.

After that, they pay me a salary, and I suppose, save a bit more in
some other way for the rainy days when CD sales are lower.  Or as they
had to do over the last few years -- they pay extra from a previous
rainy day fund because a distributor has not paid his bills on time.

Yup.  Definately.
