The NSA's mandate is to protect American computer systems from attack.
 It's perfectly reasonable to believe their contributions are honest
and legitimate.

Note that the NSA's work on DES, which was rumored to have been
backdoored by them, actually proved to strengthen it against
differential cryptanalysis.

It has indeed. But it remains unknown if it facilitated another

OpenBSD's security isn't affected at all if we, as users, insist on it.

It's the proven record.

While others get new GUIs with each new release of their OS of choice,
we get tmux, and security fix of a remote vulnerability of a non-base
package within 2 hours since it became known.

We, non-technical users, see the no-nonsense attitude of devs on this very list.

I haven't seen any tooting here, devs are busy with more important
work than to campaign that our OS of choice is of different league
from any other.

We already know that.



GPT Partition Table support

2009-11-20 Thread Alex V. Breger
Hello

What is the current status of GPT support in OpenBSD?
Are there any patches for 4.6?
Both NetBSD and FreeBSD can use GPT.

Is there a way to convert gpt to mbr?
How can I read and dump GPT from some harddrive using OpenBSD?

Re: Hardware versus Software RAID

Darrin Chandler wrote:

If you're doing RAID for redundancy/safety then there are some things to
consider:

* hardware RAID w/ good controller can be very fast and reliable

* if your RAID controller goes out then your data is unreadable unless
  you have a backup controller!



Actually, this is not true of RAID 1.  I just tried it on a very similar 
server to Mauro's with RAID1 configured through mpi.


A couple of things on this version of the firmware--initially configuring the 
raid is done through the bios and on a pair of 10K 73GB U320 drives it was 
slow.  I started at about 10 am yesterday and it was still chugging along when 
I left at 6:30 but it was done when I got here this morning.


I failed a drive (*NOT* with a nail gun, though, I just removed it ;-) and 
bioctl correctly showed the drive as failed and the raid running as degraded. 
 I  re-inserted the same drive but I was unable to find any magic bioctl -R 
that would kick off a rebuild.


I shutdown that server, removed the failed drive and inserted it into another 
identical SuperMicro.  System booted, noted an unclean shutdown, ran fsck and 
  was at login in short order.


So, just for fun I shutdown the second server, took its drive and reinstalled 
in the second slot of the first again and fired it up.  As the system booted 
the second drive's light lit solid on so I suspected a behind the scenes 
rebuild was going on.  When I got logged in bioctl -v mpi0 shows both drives 
online, and the raid status is Rebuild.


Jeff

Here's my dmesg (system with both drives installed):

[[about running firefox as root]]
 It's the easiest way to nice it to -10...

I have two reactions to this.  First, the unimportant one:
Nice it to a negative number!  Way too many sites confuse it enough
to trigger infinite or near-infinite loops, so I keep it niced to a
*positive* number (currently +6, though I've used +10 in the past)...

Now the important one:  To me, the obvious way to nice firefox (or
anything else with a /bin/sh startup script) to -10 is to use a setuid-root
perl script to either renice itself before invoking the usual firefox
startup script, or to renice the firefox binary after it starts running.
I'm sure Ted thought of this... so I'm wondering why he rejected this?
In particular, assuming the programmer RTFM perlsec, is there a security
risk for setuid-root perl scripts that I've missed?

 Actually, this is not true of RAID 1.  I just tried it on a very similar  
 server to Mauro's with RAID1 configured through mpi.

Ah, that makes perfect sense for RAID1. Good catch.

Even so, I think the test you did is a very good thing to see if a given
controller behaves correctly for RAID1.

 A couple of things on this version of the firmware--initially configuring 
 the raid is done through the bios and on a pair of 10K 73GB U320 drives 
 it was slow.  I started at about 10 am yesterday and it was still 
 chugging along when I left at 6:30 but it was done when I got here this 
 morning.

 I failed a drive (*NOT* with a nail gun, though, I just removed it ;-) 
 and bioctl correctly showed the drive as failed and the raid running as 
 degraded.  I  re-inserted the same drive but I was unable to find any 
 magic bioctl -R that would kick off a rebuild.

 I shutdown that server, removed the failed drive and inserted it into 
 another identical SuperMicro.  System booted, noted an unclean shutdown, 
 ran fsck and   was at login in short order.

 So, just for fun I shutdown the second server, took its drive and 
 reinstalled in the second slot of the first again and fired it up.  As 
 the system booted the second drive's light lit solid on so I suspected a 
 behind the scenes rebuild was going on.  When I got logged in bioctl -v 
 mpi0 shows both drives online, and the raid status is Rebuild.

IBM 305 server and 4.6

2009-11-20 Thread J.D. Bronson
I have a very odd thing happening and I am looking for anything I may 
have overlooked while troubleshooting...


(2) identical IBM 305 (8673-82x) machines equipped 100% the same
with dual onboard BGE gig NICs. Nothing else extra added.
Bios is same and options are setup exact.

Basically machine #2 is just a 'ready' backup for machine #1
and typically I build the OS on Machine #1 then 'clone' an identical
drive - toss it in machine #2 and test it. Usually thats never any issue.

I am unable to do this with OpenBSD 4.6 i386.

Thinking it was a mistake in the 'cloning', I took the drive out of 
machine #1 and put it into machine #2. It boots fine. NIC shows gig 
speed as expected - but while everything seems ok - the machine wont 
communicate with my lan.


I rebooted the network switch in case it was an arp issue. Nope.

I then did a standalone fresh install on machine #2. No issues with 
install or boot, but the same NO NETWORK.


If I install any other OS on machine #2, such as net or free - the 
machine runs and performs fine.


I am at a total loss on this as it makes NO sense whatsoever but don't 
know what else to check.


Anything left to check out that I missed?

Software. If you go hardware you will get married to your hardware's vendor,
which is typically costly and requires you to have +X spares for the
controller. Software is hardware independent (you only depend on the OS).
With hardware RAID you depend on the hardware (to run the RAID) and the OS
(to use the filesystem or volumes on top of the RAID).

Error message from a distant site

2009-11-20 Thread Rod Whitworth
I have an email from a friend which tells me that he is getting a
scrolling screen when he tried to reboot a server that was shutdown as
a precaution due to an approaching severe electrical storm.

The message says; ckbcintr: no dev for slot 1 and I cannot contact
him for a few days because he has gone on a business trip and so I
cannot get him to do anything until he returns.

Can somebody give me a clue about where this message originates and
maybe possible causes. The box is running 4.5 release on i386 and is
just a server for local data storage. It's been stable since its
upgrade to 4.5 back in May.

Until I know where the trigger is likely to be I cannot suggest
anything for him to do when i get him on the phone.

I should have added that Google turned up only one hit for ckbcintr

However I didn't just send that mail and wait for the instant perfect

Just on a whim I  looked at the  dmesg from a similar box and found
pckbc so I have just googled and have lots of hits to examine. 

It does seem that lots of them relate to computers freezing whilst in
service, not at boot time.

I'll go hunt some more but if someone has a solid clue I'll be grateful

Mounting UFS2 (FreeBSD) partition? 2nd try

2009-11-20 Thread Alex V. Breger
Hello

Can OpenBSD read ufs2 partitions? I need only reading, without
writing. I have a backup drive from FreeBSD and want to extract some
information from it.

# uname -srv

# ls -ldi m

# ls -ldi m

ls: m: Bad file descriptor

# umount /dev/sd0j
# file -sk /dev/sd0j
/dev/sd0j: Unix Fast File system [v2] (little-endian) last mounted on

average number of files in dir 64, pending blocks to free 0, pending

Is there any options to set compability or debugging?

Are you installing OpenBSD 4.6 - Release (the official CD)?

I had the same problem with an IBM 335 (don't ask me the differences 
between an IBM 335 and an IBM 305, I will paste my dmesg at the end) and 
I could not figure out the issue, then somebody told me to try a 
snapshot instead, and everything worked fine...


I am still not satisfied with the solution, given that now I must follow 
-current, now...

I have been searching the Changelog, but in vain... (probably it's just me)

Try with a snapshot...

(if it doesn't work, try a different snapshot... It kinds of reminds me 
of Plan9...)

softraid RAID1 rebuild

2009-11-20 Thread Markus Bergkvist
Hi

I had to replace one of the drives in a softraid raid level 1 setup. 
How do I kick off a rebuild? This is apparently not the correct way, or 
something else is broken here...

Re: Hardware versus Software RAID

 I failed a drive (*NOT* with a nail gun, though, I just removed it ;-) and
 bioctl correctly showed the drive as failed and the raid running as
 degraded.  I  re-inserted the same drive but I was unable to find any magic
 bioctl -R that would kick off a rebuild.

 I shutdown that server, removed the failed drive and inserted it into
 another identical SuperMicro.  System booted, noted an unclean shutdown,
ran
 fsck and  was at login in short order.

 So, just for fun I shutdown the second server, took its drive and
 reinstalled in the second slot of the first again and fired it up.  As the
 system booted the second drive's light lit solid on so I suspected a behind
 the scenes rebuild was going on.  When I got logged in bioctl -v mpi0 shows
 both drives online, and the raid status is Rebuild.

I have no idea what magic your raid controller has, but unless it
understands filesystems, this is really asking for trouble.  You have
two similar but slightly different filesystem images.  You are going
to merge them?

I assume/hope the the raid card just picked one drive as the winner
and is going to wipe the other, because that's the only way this could
work.

 I have two reactions to this.  First, the unimportant one:
 Nice it to a negative number!  Way too many sites confuse it enough

 *positive* number (currently +6, though I've used +10 in the past)...

 Now the important one:  To me, the obvious way to nice firefox (or
 anything else with a /bin/sh startup script) to -10 is to use a setuid-root
 perl script to either renice itself before invoking the usual firefox
 startup script, or to renice the firefox binary after it starts running.
 I'm sure Ted thought of this... so I'm wondering why he rejected this?
 In particular, assuming the programmer RTFM perlsec, is there a security
 risk for setuid-root perl scripts that I've missed?
