Re: multilink VPN
James Mackinnon wrote on Friday, May 29, 2009 6:25 PM Hi All Thanks for your feedback. The guy regarding the cisco is a CCIE so I tend to accept his statements quick enough.. In VPN, I am referencing it in general terms in the creation of a private network over a public network of course. I would go with MPLS or another technology, however again, not 100% failsafe. Their application is a thick app which has allowances for network drops, however, the data is a real-time life and death type of solution in that they are a security monitoring company with multiple sites to which access data in 1 location. This is what I must ensure stays up because staff must be able to handle the alarms.. Roughly 1 million alarms a day go through this network, thus, any outage can result in dropped alarms.. Our solutions in both facilities also offer some allowances for drops by caching an alarm until network return, however applications failures are also bad in this case. At first, I was looking at BGP, and in the past have used it, but with convergence time on a net down situation, it doesn't come close to the time required. Personally, I think any solution that can rebuild in 10-30 seconds is a very solid solution. If they are not happy with that, I could recommend a very expensive alternative but that won't fly. Stuart, do you know of some sources I should review on your mentioned idea. I am also looking at multi-segmenting the locations systems and having their applications account for loss to failover to the second IP. fun little project, very small to almost nil budget is the challange. Cheers If it absolutely has to be up, OpenVMS

amd64/grub package?
I've just installed OpenBSD 4.5, first on an i386 system and then on an amd64 machine. Both installations are dual-boot with Windows XP. The i386 machine, which I worked on first, was pretty straightforward -- I made a grub boot floppy so I was able to boot the system after installation, installed the grub package, made the /grub/menu.lst file, ran grub-install and I was done. When I proceeded to work on the amd64 system, after the OpenBSD installation I was a bit surprised to find that there is no grub package available for that architecture. I worked around it by copying (with tar) the /grub directory from the i386 machine to the amd64 system (which was up and running, courtesy the boot floppy). I was then able to write the mbr with the grub 'setup' command, issued from the grub command line after booting from the floppy and all was well. (Note that everything was done on the amd64 machine with the 32-bit version of grub. Works fine.) But if I hadn't had the i386 machine available, things would have been more complicated, though I'm sure ultimately solvable (i.e., by building grub from the source). I did consider using the multi-boot method involving ntldr suggested in the installation doc. But in my case, the mbr installed by Windows XP was long gone, because both systems were previously setup dual-boot with Windows and, first, Linux, and then FreeBSD. So, at the time of the OpenBSD install, what I had in the mbr was whatever FreeBSD puts there. I booted the XP CD to try to restore the mbr and ran into problems on both machines, the details of which I will spare you other than to note that it is, after all, The World's Most Annoying Operating System. So the documented method immediately presented problems in my case (yes, I'm sure I could have found a copy of the XP mbr somewhere on the network and could have dd'ed it to the disk). So, I'd like to ask why grub is apparently unsupported on the amd64 architecture? And I would suggest that grub provides a simple solution to dual-booting OpenBSD on a system that had been previously dual-booted with Windows and something else and where the Windows version of the mbr is no longer present. I'd be happy to provide the documentation for the procedure to add to the install guide, if the developers are interested. As an aside, I should mention that the bsd.mp kernel hung (once) during startup with the USB floppy drive from which I booted still present. I solved the problem by unplugging the floppy drive after grub got me to the OpenBSD bootloader. This was not an issue on the i386 system, on which I use the bsd kernel. I will investigate this further and provide a bug report if I can reproduce this and it therefore seems appropriate. /Don Allen

The two computers are less than six feet apart. I can actually connect and (e.g.) ftp to get a file over the network...but only for a few seconds before the link goes dead. Once it lasted for almost half a minute. And that's only if I use a static IP on the iMac; dhcp is never able to get a lease. I've tried everything I can think of -- different channels, 802.11b and 802.11g, different USB ports (including the built-in USB 1.1 port on the back of the laptop), WPA on and off, moving the antenna and computer around, with and without an IP assigned to the interface (using a bridge), DHCP running and not, and probably more. All scenarios give the same symptoms: I can make the connection, but it goes away after a few seconds. I've tried looking in /var/log for clues, but I couldn't find anything. No console messages show up.

Atheros AR5424/2425

those cards, everything works fine but wireless. I got kernel panic in
ar5k_channel() (ar5xxx.c:1110), so I tried to add ar2425-specific channel
setting function. Panic now disappears, but the system freezes when SIMR2 is
being written 3rd time (ar5212.c:1250). Can anybode help me with it?
diff and dmesg attached.

bsd.rd doesn't boot on a Lenovo Thinkstation S10
Attempting to boot my Thinkstation S10 with a cd made from amd64/install45.iso results in uhci3: host system error uhci3: host controller process error uhci3: host controller halted The machine has a quad-core Intel processor, 4 Gb memory, 2 146 Gb SAS drives on an LSI raid controller set up as a raid 0. It's plugged into a Raritan Switchman KVM. I had no trouble installing Linux and later FreeBSD on this machine. From what I've seen thus far of OpenBSD, I prefer it to anything else. But this is obviously a showstopper if I can't boot the install cd. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks -- /Don Allen

Re: PPTP vpn with OBSD gateway (outgoing)
There's a tickbox on the windows vpn client to tick. It's quite well hidden. To get to it, do properties on your VPN connection, then click the networking tab. Then do properties on the TCPIP protocol, then click advanced and select the Use Default Gateway On Remote Network Option. It's handy to not have this ticked if you want all your non work traffic to go out via your normal connection, but in this case you want it ticked.

Re: PPTP vpn with OBSD gateway (outgoing)
I've had a quick look at a virtual winxp I've got and it does seem to be the default unfortunately. I'd recommend quickly checking what the vpn client has selected and at the same time check that the routing from your web server can actually get back to the ip address that your vpn client is given. It's also worth checking if there's any firewall rules the other side has that could be interfering. Once you've got a vpn tunnel established through your openbsd firewall the openbsd firewall has no control over what is happening within the tunnel. The error is then either on your machine or on the thing you're trying to connect to the other side. It might be worth (and I will wash my mouth out with soap) trying using Internet Explorer instead of Firefox just in case it's your firefox browser having the problem. ( a quick telnet to port 80 on the webserver would also prove connectivity). I have assumed that you're doing a pptp tunnel to a windows server and only going through the firewall - not starting or terminating the tunnel on the firewall. If you are then the issue is with your openbsd firewall and you'd need to add routes and rules into that. Hope some of this helps.

SMTPD TLS Authentication?
Hello SMTPD Gurus, I have noticed some TLS based authentication stuff in the smtpd.conf(5) man page. I don't see more details about how it works, though. How far along is the TLS based stuff? I'd like to test smtpd with my email server on my local machine, which operates as a client to my sendmail based server remotely via TLS Authentication. Is this in their yet, or does the TLS work differently right now? Thanks! And, sorry for bugging you if this should be obvious. -- Aaron W.

Examples: - OpenBSD wireless connectivity (as a client) - OpenBSD wired connectivity - Mac wired connectivity - Mac wireless connectivity (to a different WAP) - etc... I've done as much of that as I can -- or, at least, as much as I can think of. The two computers have no trouble talking to each other over wired ethernet. Indeed, for several seconds, they communicate just fine over wireless -- my problem is that it only lasts for several seconds, after which the entire wireless connection is dropped and the iMac is no longer associated with any network. I don't have any other hardware to test with. I've thought of and tried a couple other things since this morning. There's one of those infamous ``linksys'' networks somewhere in the vicinity, but apparently not nearby. I was able to connect to it from the iMac a while ago and do a bit of (very slow) surfing, and even open an ssh session back to the laptop. I can't seem to re-connect to it now, and I haven't been able to connect to it from the laptop. There are a couple other networks in the area that aren't using any form of wireless security, but they have official-sounding names like ``ASUEMPLOYEE.'' I can connect to them from either computer -- and the connection doesn't go away -- but no DHCP servers will talk to me. I've also tried setting up the laptop in both ibss and ibss-master mode. With ibss-master, ifconfig always reports ``no network.'' However, if I set the iMac up as an ibss-master, I can connect to it from the OpenBSD laptop, get a DHCP lease from it, and ping the iMac. So, it seems that everything works except for sustaining a link from the iMac to the OpenBSD laptop as a hostap for more than several seconds. Surely I must be missing something obvious?
