'cdio play' tells the cd drive to play an audio CD and send the analog music on the analog outputs. obviously won't work if the analog outputs aren't connected to the soundcard. 'cdio cdplay' reads the disc and sends digital audio data to the sound card. that should work everywhere. -- jake...@sdf.lonestar.org SDF Public Access UNIX System - http://sdf.lonestar.org

I made such a change somewhat recently. do people want these beeps? -- jake...@sdf.lonestar.org SDF Public Access UNIX System - http://sdf.lonestar.org

unless by months you mean over a year ago, I doubt it has anything to
do with the code, since ac97/emu mixer stuff hasn't changed in the
last 16 months.

Please also include pcidump -vv output Can you look if you get something in /var/log/Xorg.0.log after the reboot? if not, can you set up a serial console, log in as root through it and run "script Xorg -verbose 4" and send the typescript here ?

Thank you all for your help, like Jacob supposed, I misunderstood the entry of openprinting.org and the usage of the foomatic-engine-db. With Jacob's explanation everything worked instantaneously.

ACPI suspend/ resume on IBM T60 not working
I'm using the latest snapshot on an IBM T60 laptop; suspend / resume
don't seem to be working. Typing "apmd" and then "apm -z" from my
window manager's xterm tells me "System will enter suspend mode
momentarily." and nothing happens. Typing "zzz" tells me "Suspending
system..." but nothing really happens.
Here is my dmesg. Thanks for any help.

Has someone else noticed this kind of behavior with this chipset? >>> watch "systat vmstat" then ping -f it from another machine. >>> what irq is triggering? is it associated with the et(4)? >>> is it the same for both et? >> It seems that sometimes a packet goes through the interface, but many >> seconds (40+) after it has been sent. >> It's the same for both interfaces. > > watch "systat vmstat" then ping -f it from another machine. > what irq is triggering? is it associated with the et(4)? > or is it a different one? > I tried watching "systat vmstat" during a ping -f and it showed nothing about et interfaces. So I forced the arp address on the other PC to be sure packets would be sent to the good mac (since arp replies did not even come). This resulted in the exact same behaviour, nothing in systat. Packets seems to go to the interface tough as the network light on et interfaces did light on continuously during my ping -f (and 1 each second during a normal ping). Best Regards
fstat regression
When running the fstat command on a file, it no longer restricts reports to the specified file, e.g. fstat /var/log/messages This used to return a line referencing syslogd, now it returns all of the internet, internet6, kqueue, pipe, route, and unix sockets open on the system as well. This worked in previous releases, and in snapshots up to at least OpenBSD 4.5-current (GENERIC) #41: Sat Jun 6 13:27:32 MDT 2009 Based on the timing, I'd guess this is related to changing fstat to use the new kvm_getfile2 interface. http://marc.info/?l=openbsd-cvs&m=124434434417337&w=2 Navan

log rotation
Hi Folks, I use syslog-ng, for which newsyslog seemed to have a few shortcomings. Also, I didn't like the way newsyslog processes each file to be rotated individually, sending a signal to syslogd each time, instead of doing all the rotations, and then sending a single signal. yeah, I read that syslogd doesn't care, and the method doesn't present any significant load on the system or syslogd. I guess I'm a pedant. Anyhow, I wrote a perl script to batch all the rotations. It isn't nearly as clever as newsyslog (rotation based on size, etc). It simply rotates when called. For anyone who's interested, the script can be found at: http://www.unix-wissen.de/OpenBSD/rotate-logs.pl cheers, Rob Urban

routing/network question
Hello,
I ran into an interesting problem trying to port some code to linux
and thinking about it a bit, I am not sure which has the more
desirable behavior: linux or openbsd.
Say host "h1" starts exchanging some packets with host "h2", which is
on a remote network ("n2"). As this is going on, "h1" establishes a
ppp connection where "h3" is the remote end point (and also in network
"n2"). There is a route added for "n2" with gateway "h3". so from this
point on, any traffic to any host within "n2" will/should go through
the ppp interface. right?
netstat -rnfinet shows:
...
1x8.18x.200/23 1x8.18x.201.136UGS00 - 8 ppp0
1x8.18x.201.1361x8.18x.201.132UH 10 - 4 ppp0
...
Where 1x8.18x.201.132 is the local ip assigned to "h1" via ppp and
1x8.18x.201.136 is the remote host ("h3") ip (and gateway for "n2").
Sending further packets, using the same socket descriptor, from "h1"
to "h2" should go through which interface? the ppp interface or the
real physical interface which was being used prior to the ppp
connection (xl0, etc.)?
openbsd and linux seem to behave differently (a shocker, I am sure).
in linux, any further traffic between "h1" and "h2" is now routed
through the ppp interface. however, in openbsd the packets continue
being sent over the same initial interface.
to solve the (my?) "problem" on linux, i have to add a static route to
"h2" specifying the default gateway for "h1's" network (not "h3").

Re: "X -configure" command reboots machine
Hi Matthieu, thanks a lot for your message. After running memtest, I installed 4.2 yesterday again just to make sure that the laptop does work (someone suggested a memory problem), it does work fine with 4.2, so I am in the process of re-installing 4.5.

Re: "X -configure" command reboots machine
Hi Tenoch, I'm the proud owner of several early P1-class systems like that, PCI interrupt routing is always.. sketchy. Some other options you might wish to try: * Look in the BIOS for a setting similar to "Plug & Play OS", set that option to "No".. this will force the BIOS to setup some hardware prior to passing control over to OpenBSD. * Try a 4.5-CURRENT snapshot, some related changes were made that might help things. Good luck.. -Brynet.

Change source IP to enable pass through VPN
I would like to change the source IP that applications use when making connections for my backup. I have 2 firewalls, one at home, one in colo, each with a LAN segment behind it, the LANs are connected via IPSec.conf vpns between the firewalls. The home public IP is dynamic so I was not able to make my SA specific between the public ips only from lan to lan. I am trying to do backups of the colo firewall to a thumb drive in the home firewall via the LAN ip of the home firewall however when the colo tries to connect(via nfs in this case) to the home it sources from its public IP which is not in the SA. I have the same problem going the other way as well. Is there a way to force my backup script to source from or appear to source from the LAN ip instead of the WAN ip? Thank you, Lawrence

There are numerous ways around this, most of which probably involve
more common sense. Unfortunately, you haven't told us what sort of
backup software you're using so it's hard to make good recommendations
for your existing setup. If your backup software will allow you to bind
to the internal address of your home firewall, that's the way to go.
Otherwise you might be able to get it working with some sort of port
redirection (bouncing off the internal interface). But again, without
more details it's impossible for me to give you concrete examples.
Personally, I just "pull" my server backups using dump-over-ssh. This
works great for me. I've rebuilt my entire server within the past year
using these backups so I guarantee this process works as advertised.
Here is the script I use:
#!/bin/sh
# DayOfWeek

DATE=`date +%Y%m%d`
ssh r...@server "dump ${DOW}ufa - / | /usr/local/bin/bzip2" | \

My current method is just a dump script that pushes the backup to the
remote firewall opposed to pulling. I believe your script would work
just fine for me since the pulling firewall is dynamic.
I did try port redirection with PF but that didnt seem to work very
well, it seemed to be doing the nat after the ipsec filter, so it was
changing the source address but the packets were not hitting the ipsec
tunnel.
Perhaps I will try setting up a /30 network between the firewalls and
set up a gre tunnel between.
Thank you for the sample script.

Multipath routing and ftp-proxy
Hi, It occurs to me that multipath routing (http://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq6.html#Multipath) might not play nicely with ftp-proxy on a firewall because passive ftp sessions could multiplex the data and control connections via different ISPs. My assumption here is that if you're using multipath routing and 2 ISPs then your NATting, so the ftp server on the Internet would see the control connection from one ISP and the data connection from another, leading to failure. Is this a correct analysis or am I missing something? Karl Free Software: "You don't pay back, you pay forward." -- Robert A. Heinlein
Weighted round robin
Hello, I was wondering about how to achieve some kind of weighted round-robin with OpenBSD... So far, we can achieve some limited weighted round-robin by using rdr's with lists, and repeating the stronger nodes in the list. (Is there a limit to the number of nodes in a list??) This is what we use on our webserver pool. Having this kind of control is necessary, since pretty much every unused machine we have ends up in the webserver pool to meet growing demand. The only sad thing is that we can't use relayd to automate removal of failed nodes, because we don't use tables. We're planning to resort on a scripted solution to generate a ruleset based on our own host checks (using rdr lists, anchors, etc.) . But before taking this path, I was wondering if people on misc@ had found clever ways of achieving the same result without too much scripting. Thanks in advance, -- Pascal

Can anyone confirm that these drives specifically work OK. I assume that they will just operate as a standard st device but would like to be sure before spending the cash. Thanks Need a Holiday?
