Are you _sure_ mount -t msdos does not work from bsd.rd (the CD),

 Thanks, with these values the system doesn't freeze anymore and
 I can send data from one port to another.

 The speeds will almost certainly be wrong, you'll probably need to
 cu -s 4800 to get a 9600 baud connection with this (the divisor should 
 be 400 * 16 but I couldn't get this to work, for more info see
 http://marc.info/?l=openbsd-techm=126446213208560w=2).
 
 I may have datasheets for this somewhere...you can learn some things
 from the linux driver too, they have some fancy stuff to work out how
 many ports the devices have, etc.

 I tried to look at drivers/serial/8250_pci.c at one point, but couldn't
 find anything special for these oxford cards. (I also didn't realize that
 first_offset = 0x1000, .uart_offset = 0x200 maps into 0x1000/0x1200 on
 OpenBSD, so I probably missed other things too.)

Look for pci_oxsemi_tornado_init(). Unfortunately I don't have my card
available for hacking on, it's running as an active console server in a
colo ~5 hours away.

You're making this far more complicated than it needs to be.

Run Windows 7/Vista. Download EasyBCD - http://neosmart.net/dl.php?id=1

Run it as admin, add the OpenBSD partition to the boot menu. Done!

Hello

I haven't been following the latest openbsd development very
closely...shame on me :-(

I just wanted to know how the current development of opensmtp is going?
Is it ready for prime time or still considered as to early in development?

cannot reboot system with softraid(4) volumes

2011-03-08 Thread Mattieu Baptiste
Hi all,

I know this setup might not be fully supported but I wanted to report this.

On my Sun Fire V240 I have two softraid(4) volumes:
- sd4 (UUID a45b5629cc97897e), RAID1 for : /tmp, /var, /usr, /home
- sd5 (UUID 5cd55a71b5790766), RAID0 for data.

My /etc/fstab is as follows:
438d5c40.b none swap sw 0 0
/dev/sd0a / ffs rw,softdep 1 1
438d5c40.a /altroot ffs xx 0 0
a45b5629cc97897e.h /home ffs rw,nodev,nosuid,softdep 1 2
a45b5629cc97897e.d /tmp ffs rw,nodev,nosuid,softdep 1 2
a45b5629cc97897e.g /usr ffs rw,nodev,softdep 1 2

5cd55a71b5790766.k /var/www/ftp ffs rw,nodev,nosuid,softdep 1 2

When I try to reboot the machine, it stalls at:

The only way to reboot the machine is via ALOM.

Error when installing miniroot in a CF Card

Hi
I'd like to cutting OpenBSD4.8 to be installed in a 32M CF card, I have
viewed OpenBSD's faq manual, but there are not a lot of explanations about
miniroot,when executing the install.sh file under miniroot, i got a lot of
mistakes, please provide for me the detailed implementation methods, hoping
to get more information.

Here are the error messages followed !

It is not clear from your narrative what is the device node for your hard
drive.  The FAQ boldly warns following the dd(1) command:

 Note: this is a really good time to remind you that blindly typing
 commands in you don't understand is a really bad idea. This line will
 not work directly on most computers. It is left to the reader to adapt
 it to their machine.

There is no way that the FAQ can anticipate whether users will have IDE,
SCSI, or SATA hard drives, so some investigation must occur on your part to
determine whether the hard drive used is wd(4) or sd(4).  One of the easiest
ways to find the answer is to search through the output of dmesg(8).  On my
older Thinkpad, I get:

$ dmesg | grep sd

...which gives details on a USB flash drive which had been attached at one
time, and:

$ dmesg | grep wd
wd0 at pciide0 channel 0 drive 0: HTS541060G9AT00
wd0: 16-sector PIO, LBA, 57231MB, 117210240 sectors
wd0(pciide0:0:0): using PIO mode 4, Ultra-DMA mode 5
$

...which is my actual hard drive in my laptop.  What you will find may be
entirely different (including the appended number to the end of the
device...), but the driver reported must be reflected in the dd(1) command
used.  If I wanted to create the PBR for my laptop, I would use the
following:

# dd if=/dev/rwd0a of=openbsd.pbr bs=512 count=1

If I were to blindly ( incorrectly) run the command stated in the FAQ, I
would get the error Device not configured.  You mention device busy.
Did you run this command as root (which is the meaning of the # shell
prompt...)?

* If I boot with the cd rom neither msdos nor ntfs are available so I
 can't write the .pbr file to an accessible place from windows.
 * If I boot with the cd rom and write the .pbr file in the bsd filesystem,
 I can't read it from windows 7 (I couldn't find a program to mount bsd
 filesystems which works with windows 7).


You haven't thought through the ramifications of the MBR active flag.  The
MBR contains entries for four possible primary partitions.  Only one of them
will be marked active.  When the system is next booted, the BIOS will search
through these four entries to determine which primary partition will be
searched for an operating system.  Boot managers are simply elaborate
gimmicks to easily set the active flag.  fdisk(8) can be used to change the
active partition.  In fact, you could use OpenBSD's fdisk(8) to change the
MBR's active flag to next boot Windows,  bcdedit (as I recall...) within
Windows to change the active flag to next boot OpenBSD, but this is
laborious.

If you chose whole disk when prompted with the following question during
installation:

Use (W)hole disk or (E)dit the MBR?

...the active flag will have been set automatically for OpenBSD's
partition.  If (E)dit is chosen, you can set it manually to whatever
partition you wish.  Also, if you chose whole disk, I can only hope you
backed up your Windows partition as it may not be there now.

Studying the FAQ before attempting multibooting as a newcomer is required.
Thinking is too.


 Does anybody have a solution to any of these problems or a 4th way?


The biggest problem seen in your message is a failure to grasp the nuances
of the boot process or the needed commands.  You can overcome this, but it
will require attention to detail  tenacity.

 I had the impression that the command:

 C:\Windows\system32 bcdedit /set {0154a872-3d41-11de-bd67-
a7060316bbb1}
path \openbsd.pbr

 requires that the openbsd.pbr file is at located at the root of c:\. Am I
 wrong?

This is correct.  As I recall, Windows 7 has less restrictions on where the
PBR is located, but for the purpose of the FAQ, putting the PBR in C:\ is
fine.  bcdedit simply needs to be instructed as to its location.

Also recognize that the GUID used in the commands issues on your computer
are system-dependent.  Don't simply cut-and-paste from the FAQ.  Doing so
will result in a misconfigured boot manager.

Good luck.

Ideas for securing OpenVPN on an OpenWrt router

2011-03-08 Thread erikmccaskey64
ok, i putted an OpenVPN server on port 1194 on an OpenWrt 10.03 router.
https://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=xEZTvnhT
http://pastebin.mozilla.org/1138443


Questions: what could i do to increase security regarding this OpenVPN server? 
- i mean on server side!


1 - i sed 's/1194/5/' the port number to a higher one - it's against the 
automated robots, ok!
2 - iptables? i should only allow ip ranges [on the input chain] that i will 
use in reality? - ok!
3 - if i don't use my router - e.g.: when i'm sleeping i just turn it off.
4 - ? what else?? Plese write down you're idea/solution!!!


OpenWrt isn't OpenBSD, so from the ps command i can see that the OpenVPN is 
runned by root. it's not so secure. How can i make it more secure?

I've used it on my personal e-mail server since December, and it's
worked just fine, no issues, crashed, nothing unusual.

It also took only a very short while to configure and the doc had
everything I needed (as usual with OpenBSD).  In case you haven't read

Hi,

Just to clarify a bit:

1- there's been no it's ready to go announcement because it's not ready
   to go. it works for many setups but there are a few showstoppers, like
   aliases expansion working in a funky way for instance.

2- I fixed a lot of stuff in various areas, entirely rewrote others, it's
   getting closer to a state where I would stop discouraging people from
   running it to handle their real mail. I cannot commit my changes for
   the time being because I'm not done, there are various changes that
   cannot be commited separately otherwise it breaks smtpd.

2- the repository mentionned on the blog is not opensmtpd, it is my own
   sandbox with code i'm experimenting to see if it's worth making into
   opensmtpd. it contains failed experiments, some good ideas, but it's
   not a working tree so don't waste your time on it. also, code from it
   can't be brought back to opensmtpd so it's going to be removed.

restore wants a new tape but none exists!

2011-03-08 Thread Jeff Ross

On OpenBSD -current (although this has happened before).

While restoring from file today I ran across this.  At this point I've 
already done the level 0 and level 1 restore.


root@slony:/var/www $ restore -i -f /backup/2.var_www
restore  add *
restore: ./logs: File exists
restore: ./wykids: File exists
restore: ./wykids/login: File exists
restore  extract
You have not read any tapes yet.
Unless you know which volume your file(s) are on you should start
with the last volume and work towards the first.
Specify next volume #: 1
restore: ./logs/old_pglogd_fifo: cannot create fifo: File exists
restore: ./logs/pglogd_fifo: cannot create fifo: File exists
Mount tape volume 2
Enter ``none'' if there are no more tapes
otherwise enter tape name (default: /backup/2.var_www) none
You have read volumes: 1
Specify next volume #: none
Volume number invalid: none
Specify next volume #:

and so on and so until I ctrl-c out.

Is this worthy of a bug report or is there a peback afoot here?

Thanks,

Jeff Ross

Unlikely to be a bug more likely that you did a dump of a file system
that was changing while the dump was in progress.  This breaks the
backup and produces the sort of symptoms you are seeing when trying to
do a restore.

802.11n

2011-03-08 Thread Hugo Osvaldo Barrera
I know that 802.11n is not supported yet, however, I was wondering:

Is anyone working on this?
What needs to be done to add support to n?  I'd like to contribute if
possible, I don't mind if it's a LOT of work, but I will probably get
stuck if it's very complicated.
Does just ieee80211(9) need to be modified, or do drivers need to be
updated as well?  (I feel modifying drivers is really out of my league
as far as programming experience goes)?

 Unlikely to be a bug more likely that you did a dump of a file system
 that was changing while the dump was in progress.  This breaks the
 backup and produces the sort of symptoms you are seeing when trying to
 do a restore.

I don't know about the rest of you guys, but to me that sounds exactly
like a bug... especially since nothing is mentioned of such behaviour in
the dump man page.

Well, you would have to totally redo the guts of dump if you want to
fix this well known behaviour.  Dump scans and writes the meta-data
first and then writes the data for the files.  If you have ever used
restore you would note that it builds the directory structure first and
then puts the data back.  Dump comes unstuck when the file system meta
data changes during the backup - when files are added or deleted.  The
safest way to do a dump is when the machine is in single user mode for
this very reason but many people play fast and loose because they cannot
wear the outage for a backup, in that case you must quiesce the file
systems as best you can.  Really, this is well known unix sys admin
procedure.

Have a go at fixing it, by all means, but note that people _like_ the
interactive restore mode where you can select the files to restore by
browsing and would find it unacceptable to wait for a full tape scan
before they can perform this task.  It will be interesting to see how
you go about handling files appearing and disappearing during the
backup.

gt; OpenWrt isn't OpenBSD, so from the ps command i can see that the
OpenVPN is runned by root. it's not so secure. How can i make it more secure?

In addition to the above mentioned:
Use tls-auth
Use tls-remote
Use user/group
Use udp
Use certificates as well as username/password authentication.
Use mutual authentication (both client and server)
Use strong ciphers, encryption keys and dh parameters.

secure your server (host)
read the documentation

Re: OpenBSD 4.8 HP ProLiant DL360 G7 Install OK?

2011-03-08 Thread rancor
We are running stock OpenBSD 4.8 on several DL360 G6 and G7 and a
additional HP NC364T PCI Express Quad Port Gigabit Server Adapter. We
are running them in pairs as a firewall cluster with pfsync and carp
and also as stand alone as a router but we have problem with random
freezes. We have tried both AMD64 and i386, all patched up to latest
errata but we can't make them work stable. Now are we using VMware
ESXi as a layer between the hardware and OpenBSD and every thing works
just perfect, not a single freeze since we did this .. work around

Our bug report on this matter:
http://cvs.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/query-pr-wrapper?full=yesnumbers=6321

Since we don't know how to resolve this our future with OpenBSD is
most unsure, we have more then 50 installations on different platforms
and it's only G6 och G7 that are causing any problem.

It's hard to say if it's only us since I never hear anything about
this issue but we sure feels alone.
