Re: Integrating "safe" languages into OpenBSD?
I've always subscribed to the idea that too much safety results in too may idiots, and the same is true for all these "safe" programming languages. "Oh I don't have to write any form of bounds-checking, because the language will do it for me." To add further insult to injury, if the language's bounds checking kicks in first your program may do something worse than just corrupting its own memory. In my experience, apps written in these "safe" languages (usually web apps or bloatware) actually have been the most bug-ridden and bloated.

ed(1) text editor issue with Spanish accents
Hello, I've noticed something unexpected when entering an accent character alone (´) and then deleting it in ed(1) in xterm(1). Instead of deleting it, it creates another character which is seen as an inverted exclamation (?) in the font 'misc-fixed'. How to reproduce: $ uname -a OpenBSD foo.my.domain 6.2 GENERIC.MP#1 amd64 $ locale LANG= LC_COLLATE="C" LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 LC_MONETARY="C" LC_NUMERIC="C" LC_TIME="C" LC_MESSAGES="C" LC_ALL= $ #Let's append the ´ character in ed(1) $ ed -p"> " > a ´ Now let's delete with a backspace, return to create a newline and a dot to stop appending, and then print: $ ed -p"> " > a . > p (?) (The (?) is a simulation of the font character that misc-fixed shows to the terminal.) Whenever I use more(1) or less(1) to view it, it shows: $ more test.txt I have to add that I tested this with urxvt and ed(1) prints an  character, but more(1) and less(1) keep printing . When not using X this can't be reproduced. This is reproducible with xterm(1) and urxvt(1) in cwm(1) and fvwm(1). I've tested this in Linux and FreeBSD and this behaviour is not reproducible. Thank you, A

renice and network forwarding
Hello all, just wondering if anyone else has tried using renice to de-prioritise other processes in an effort to give more cpu time to packet forwarding in the kernel ? While Im certain that there significant risks to system stability and other functionality of the system if one were to carpet bomb the process list pids with renice 20. Perhaps the current defaults are for general purpose systems ? Perhaps other network Administrators have tweaked background processes where a system was a single purpose system such as a Router, Firewall or Bridge. Also is the softnet process (as seen by command top -SH) only interrupt handling of packets ? or does it cover processing (e.g. forwarding if enabled ) (either bridging or routing depending on network config) any advice welcome ... Thanks Tom Smyth
Multicast in OSPF with shared interface addresses
I joined a VPN network (dn42) to learn BGP and such and decided to do so with OpenBSD, which I'm also learning. Most peers are Linux machines and they re-use their address on each VPN tunnel as a /32. I have been successful doing the same until I decided I needed ospf for my internal routes. openospfd sets the interface (identified only by its IP) as the multicast source. Since several tunnels have that address, it sets it incorrectly. A brief look at Linux headers show that their newer ip_mreqn struct includes an interface index since Linux 2.2. Perhaps this is a useful inclusion in the OpenBSD kernel so that userland can pick the interface correctly? For now I've worked around this by assigning /31 aliases in 192.168.0.0/16 to the interfaces. But I'm curious what others are doing that use OpenBSD as a router, as it's all fairly new to me. I'm reading that OSPF could also have unicast neighbors setup, but OpenOSPFd doesn't have this feature.
Re: Integrating "safe" languages into OpenBSD?
And on top of what Theo said: rewriting stuff in "safe" languages doesn't reduce the need for mitigations *anyway*. Nobody's rewriting all of the ports tree in memory safe languages.
Re: KVM / Proxmox Hosted OpenBSD Boxes Multiqueue Virtio Query
Stefan, All, Thanks for your Response, the reason I was asking was I was experiencing some packet loss on a sub 1Gb/s Connection, on a setup where by I had 70vlans on one interface and these vlans were subsequently Bridged onto another virtio Interface I added in an additional Virtio Interface, and split the 70 Vlans across 2 interfaces ie I had 35 vlans on 2 virtio interfaces and then the 70 vlans were bridged onto a third virtio interface. This seemed to reduce the loss that I had.

> As a response to this, Theo asked rhetorically "Where's ls, where's cat, > where's grep, and where's sort?", implying that noone so far bothered to > write implementations of even the basic unix utilities in such a > language. I wasn't implying. I was stating a fact. There has been no attempt to move the smallest parts of the ecosystem, to provide replacements for base POSIX utilities. As a general trend the only things being written in these new languages are new web-facing applications, quite often proprietory or customized to narrow roles. Not Unix parts. Right now, there are zero usage cases in the source tree to require those compiler tools. We won't put a horse into the source tree when society lacks cart builders. > This brings me to the question, what if someone actually bothered? So rather than bothering to begin, you wrote an email. Awesome. Yes, now I am implying something: you won't bother to rewrite the utilities. And I understand, why would anyone bother? It took about 10 years for gnu grep to be replaced sufficiently well in our tree. This stuff doesn't happen overnight. However there is a rampant fiction that if you supply a new safer method everyone will use it. For gods sake, the simplest of concepts like the stack protector took nearly 10 years for adoption, let people should switch languages? DELUSION. > Under what conditions would you consider replacing one of the > current C implementations with an implementation written in another, > "safer" language? In OpenBSD there is a strict requirement that base builds base. So we cannot replace any base utility, unless the toolchain to build it is in the base. Adding such a toolchain would take make build time from 40 minutes to hours. I don't see how that would happen. > Note that with Cgrep and haskell-ls, there do in fact exist > implementations/analogues of two of the mentioned utilities in a > memory safe language (Haskell). Are they POSIX compliant? No. They are completely different programs that have borrowed the names. By the way, this is how long it takes to compile our grep: 0m00.62s real 0m00.63s user 0m00.53s system Does Cgrep compile in less than 10 minutes? Such ecosystems come with incredible costs. For instance, rust cannot even compile itself on i386 at present time because it exhausts the address space. Consider me a skeptic -- I think these compiler ecosystems face a grim bloaty future.
Integrating "safe" languages into OpenBSD?
Hi, I recently watched a recording of Theo's talk on pledge at EuroBSDCon 2017, in which the question of memory-safe languages and their practical usefulness came up. Specifically, someone in the audience criticized the approach taken by OpenBSD, which (as I understand) accepts that all software is broken and mitigates the damage caused by various classes of exploits through techniques like ASLR, and suggested that instead one should stick to "memory safe languages" to avoid these exploits altogether. As a response to this, Theo asked rhetorically "Where's ls, where's cat, where's grep, and where's sort?", implying that noone so far bothered to write implementations of even the basic unix utilities in such a language. This brings me to the question, what if someone actually bothered? Under what conditions would you consider replacing one of the current C implementations with an implementation written in another, "safer" language? Note that with Cgrep and haskell-ls, there do in fact exist implementations/analogues of two of the mentioned utilities in a memory safe language (Haskell). Best, Nicolas Schmidt

It is a little bit off topic, but I dare to ask: what combination are you using, like email client and misc@ configuration( i.e, daily digest, individual emails, etc.)? I am sorry for the off topic.

Re: Chip cheaper than chips
The bug on Atom C2000 was solved in the new C3000 series. It was a minor bug anyway. I have no evidence that the management engine is part of the new chip. It is an expensive extension that Intel would not include for free. Besides, if available, I think I would use it!
