No, there is no other way. I've posted a small piece of code some time
ago that estimate the amount of mem needed for doing an fsck during newfs.
Therse days, amd64 is the only platform that increases the limit
(MAXDSIZE) to 8G. Though you venture into untested territory, we
(myself at least) just do not have the hardware to test anything
beyond 2T.

The SEGVs may be related to not having swap. Running OpenBSD in
overcommitted state is not what you want.

A pity, since it does matter what platform you run on. fsck needing a
lot of memory is indeed a known problem, but the SEGVs are not. You
might want to check if they still occur when you have enough swap.

I feel your pain. The I (or i) argument is a GNU extension. You can do something like: $ echo Foo | \ sed y/[ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ]/[abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz] | \ sed s/foo/fuu/g That's pretty much what's explained as "Solution 1" here: http://www.linuxtopia.org/online_books/linux_tool_guides/the_sed_faq/sedfaq4_003.html That FAQ also mentions a couple of alternatives, some of which may be easier (but no longer use just sed). Unless someone actually competent feels that the I argument is a worthy addition to OpenBSD's sed and is ready to submit a diff? (FreeBSD sed appears to have the I argument, btw. No, I'm not saying OpenBSD should become FreeBSD, just that there may be BSD-licensed suitable code out there. Or maybe FreeBSD uses GNU sed -- I haven't checked.) regards, --ropers PS: Incidentally, this is how I wrote my first ever ROT13 command: echo Foo | \ sed y/[ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ]/[NOPQRSTUVWXYZABCDEFGHIJKLM]/ | \ sed y/[abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz]/[nopqrstuvwxyzabcdefghijklm]/

I firewalled a full DS3 (45mbps up/down) with about 800 users behind a Dell PowerEdge 350 (Celeron 600MHz proc), and this was several releases ago, before the last couple rounds of PF optimization. By shuttling a lot of data from the internal network to the DMZ and back to the internal network, we were able to make it show some strain, but otherwise, it did great. Granted, no vpn at the firewall, but for three to five users, you aren't going to be generating that many encrypted packets to worry about. You will be quite fine with your hugely more hardware and smaller user base (=fewer states to track), I'm very sure. You can fiddle with the GENERIC vs. GENERIC.MP and you will find no difference, I'm quite confident -- you will go from "mostly idle" to "almost as mostly idle". Big deal. Since everyone else is suggesting their favorite box they want you to buy to tell them how it works, I'll suggest this...if you are a very small operation, you may well not have racks of equipment. The only major benefit a rack-mount server gives you for this application is rack-mounting. Consider using any ol' desktop system you have laying around. I suspect it will do just fine. My favorite thing about desktops for this application is after power-up, they will be passing packets before a "server" has finished POSTing. If you do have equipment racks already, the 850, 860, or other similar systems will do just fine. Avoid the RAID systems, not worth the trouble (two systems, run CARP) or cost. Buy cheap, upgrade later, IF you see reason. One REALLY nice thing about low-end "servers" and desktops is you can move the disk and change your hostname.* files, and things will Just Work on new hardware. Not so easy with RAID systems. Nick.

Amd64 allows 8G. Increase newfs blocksize to 64k (make sure you don't run out of inodes), that should lessen the memory requirements a bit and make fsck runs a little faster. I have my doubts about OpenBSD as a (backup) file server with large filesystems, there might be a more appropriate OS for the job.

^^
as in, you can see that the speaker header on the mainboard is not
connected? yes, you /probably/ won't get beeps if there is a speaker
header on the board, and it is not connected to a speaker. but some
machines might also send the beep to the audio output lines ...

fsck segfault on a big partition, 4.6
Hi,
So, the short version is that I have a server with OpenBSD 4.6 that can't
fsck its big partition; fsck fails with a segfault every time. If I "ulimit
-d unlimited" before fsck'ing, it just takes a little longer to segfault.
It produces no other output. IIRC, the partition is roughly 6 TB. Two
questions then: is there any way through this that doesn't involve
newfs'ing the partition, and is there a "right" way to do a partition of
that size in OpenBSD given fsck's 1G hard limit?
The longer version: this is a backup server running backuppc for a
corporate client ("large enough number of workstations") that does research
work ("some really big files"). I _thought_ I had read the big filesystem
FAQ carefully, but somehow missed that fsck simply couldn't handle anything
over 1TB without doing funny things during the fs setup. So, this
particular partition was backuppc's data directory, and it was set up with
the default block sizes. Also possibly noteworthy: there's no swap, the OS
and other partitions are all running off of a USB flash drive for various
reasons.
If I have to wipe the partition and start over, it's not a disaster. This
was a newer server, the old backup server was still online and still had
some disk left, so I get to keep my butt out of a sling. But, if I'm going
to have to do that, then I also need to consider whether it might just be
better to use a different OS. (No foul intended, I'm a big fan of OpenBSD,
but it just might not be the right tool for this job.)
There's no dmesg attached because I'm not on-site with the server at the
moment, and because AFAICT this is a known problem.
Thanks,
- R.

Re: PowerEdge 850 for a small office firewall
I am running an embedded 533 MHz with 256 MB memory and it is woefully inadequate for an office setting. Even for a home setting which wants stuff like snort running as well. I would WAG atleast a 2 GB memory and the Atoms max out at that...? If the firewall will be doing other stuff like snort, vpn, dns, dhcp, nat, (I am talking pfSense here), then 2 GB is rather short and I'd like to see a beefier CPU as well. So, the question really is what all are you going to be doing with it?

Yep, very simple to do if the console is redirected to com0:
#include
#include
#include
#include
#define FREQUENCY 2000
#define DURATION 50
int main(void) {
int spkr;
tone_t tone;
tone.frequency=FREQUENCY;
tone.duration=DURATION;
spkr = open("/dev/speaker", O_WRONLY, 0);
ioctl(spkr, SPKRTONE, &tone);
close(spkr);
return 0;
}
With a little effort you could make this so that you can define it on
the command line.
Or you could go by a previous suggestion and make it play a little
song by piping a text file into /dev/speaker.

ACPI not working on ASUS motherboard with AMD Phenon II
Hi,
I have a computer with ASUS M4A785TD-V motherboard and
AMD Phenom II X4 965 processor. Booting it with recent
amd64 snapshot stops at acpihpet. Screenshot:
http://iki.fi/tero.koskinen/acpi-dmesg.jpg
Does anyone have any idea what is going on?
Booting the kernel with acpi disabled works.
I also tried to enable acpi itself, but disable
other acpi* stuff, like mentioned in message
http://marc.info/?l=openbsd-misc&m=124679815402843&w=2
but, had no luck. (Kernel usually stopped at ioapic.)
Partial acpidump can be found from
http://iki.fi/tero.koskinen/acpidump.phenom
Partial because, acpidump dies at one point:

Re: way to help: laptops and weekly
Perhaps this is an application for /usr/bin/batch? @reboot batch -f /etc/fortnightly now + 1 hour Could it be beneficial to break up /etc/weekly into separate tasks, where the parent script can tell when each task last completed, and only re-run a task if it's been 6+ days since that task last ran through to the end? I've used $RANDOM in similar cases to what Lars Nooden discusses, and also like his suggestion to check 'apm' and not launch housekeeping tasks when solely on battery power. Kevin

To avoid this sort of problem, IMHO we need a way for a human to tell the software that "now is an ok time to do system maintainance stuff". Perhaps a new option to /sbin/shutdown? System maintenance, IMO, should be invisible to the user unless it requires input. Shutdown is a poor time to run maintenance because it's (probably) run more often when something needs to be done to the machine or the user has to go somewhere in a hurry. I like the ideas of running it say half an hour after startup, and also on a more regular basis *if* it's not been run early during the morning and the hardware is fast enough. That covers the cases of quick information retrieval, urgent hardware swapouts and doesn't annoy users who leave the computer on when the job is normally scheduled to run. PK

As it's a mini PC, I did not know if it was normal or not. Speaker is certainly not wired. Thanks for the help. I just want to add a beep in rc.local because I mounted a NAS server and as no screen wired, the beep will give information that system has been completely loaded.

PowerEdge 850 for a small office firewall
Hi all. I'm in the process of planning an upgrade to our office firewall, and am happy that I get to use OpenBSD -current. :-) The hardware I'm considering is a Dell PowerEdge 850 server with four GbE NICs (two built-in and two on an expansion card) We have 25 people on a private IP subnet NATed to a handful of public IPs We'll be using a high-speed cable modem connection - 50 Mbps down/10Mbps up - as our primary Internet link, with a slower aDSL link as a backup. In addition to the PF firewall I want to use the box as an (bridged) OpenVPN endpoint for 3-5 folks. - So I was hoping to learn if others on the list are using a PowerEdge 850 for this type of firewalling scenario, and to hear any anecdotes about the 850s in such a dual application. Specifically I'm wondering about the Pentium D CPU on the 850. I know an MP Kernel won't help with PF (and may actually hinder things), but perhaps an MP Kernel might help with a PF and OpenVPN combination? Maybe I should run a Generic, rather than Generic-MP, kernel even though the chip is dual core? If you are happy with your PowerEdge 850 firewall, perhaps you'd be willing to share your hardware configuration? or perhaps there is another hardware configuration I should consider? (I'll be buying the box on eBay or Craigslist, and have a slight personal bias toward Dell servers) Thanks in advance for any input, advise or opinions.

What you call negligible is the fact that email being written into the queue from a remote machine will be lost from either disk or controller write-back cache during a crash. I don't know if that's important or not in your case. Maybe the email(s) that will be lost will not be important. How can we tell? How can we back up email while it's being sent from remote machines?

This needs some tweaking, because sometimes "shutdown" really means "I want this laptop to shutdown *now* so I can put it in the padded/insulated carrycase for without the laptop overheating." or even "I want this laptop to shutdown *now* so all encrypted filesystems are unmounted and inaccessable, and all memory contents safely decayed, before I go through $COUNTRY customs." To avoid this sort of problem, IMHO we need a way for a human to tell the software that "now is an ok time to do system maintainance stuff".

I have several of these systems. They do not run OpenBSD, so I can only speak to the hardware: The hardware is excellent. It's easy to work on; it's stable; it has decent introspection via the BMC. It has a couple minor, but very nice, fixes over the X4150s (mostly to do with button placement and some internal cabling). I have had zero problems with these systems. They're solid, and they fly. You can pick up RAM cheap from crucial, and get disk sleds from memoryx (541-2123) so you don't have to pay disk markup. I do not use the SAS RAID card, and couldn't speak its being supported by OpenBSD regardless. (I have a J4200 plugged into the non-RAID SAS card, because ZFS > hardware RAID.) You may find that you'll need to disable some of the em(4) ports so you can get access to the Service Processor. I run OpenBSD on my X2100 M2s and have to disable bge* (via config(8)) so I can get at the SP. Just something to keep in mind when provisioning. Cheers. -- bda cyberpunk is dead. long live cyberpunk.

Sun Fire x4170
Hello, Anyone has any experience with this Sun box? I'm looking for decent hardware to run OpenBGPd over a 1 Gbps Internet transit. It's an Intel Xeon 5520 quad-core with an Intel 5520 chipset and ICH10R, I guess no problem here. It comes with 4 gigabit ports (Intel 82575EB) which should be fine em(4). I'm wondering if the Sun Storagetek SAS RAID card is supported though, the technical specs talk about it as being "LSI-based". Is this supported? thanks Luca

Re: OpenVPN problem.
Hi Simen. Then 10.0.8.1 and 10.0.8.2 are allocate by openvpn server and in the client are 10.0.8.6 and 10.0.8.5 they appear in ifconfing of tun0 on client and server side in this form: 10.0.8.1 -> 10.0.8.2 10.0.8.6 -> 10.0.8.5 My purpose is to study VPN with openvpn and i've not a remote place to get this setup and then I've reproduced a little reality. Simen Stavdal wrote: Ciao Alessandro, So, from the server, the client gets allocated 10.0.8.5/32 (btw, probably a minor thing, but in your server conf file, you have a mismatch on the host/mask when you push the routes- it reads push "route 10.1.1.1 255.255.0.0" while it should read 10.1.0.0) (doesn't seem to bother the client too much, but it might be worth a try to correct it). Also, on the server side routing table, you have the following : 192.168.7/24 10.0.8.2 UGS0 175 - 8 tun0 Where is 10.0.8.2? This is from the pool of client addresses, but does not exist anywhere? You also have som route statements in your server conf file, like this one : route 192.168.7.0 255.255.255.0 It doesn't have a gateway, and is not locally connected This tells the client host to route 192.168.7.0 to nowhere (even though it is locally connected on the client side). On my config, the client side routing table looks like this (windows host) : 10.10.177.0255.255.255.0 10.10.177.5 10.10.177.6 1 10.10.177.4 255.255.255.252 10.10.177.6 10.10.177.6 30 Also, the two hosts are not connected with public addresses, can I ask why you want to use NAT between to RFC1918 networks that don't overlap?
