Not able to boot from softraid :(
Hello everybody. I'm trying to install OpenBSD 6.3 on softraid. My configuration is simple: Asus z170-k motherboard, with i7-6700 cpu, and 16 gb ram. no external vga or other cards, just this. I have 2 similar 750 gb disks. I have succesfully booted bsd.rd in uefi mode, then with shell i did: cd /dev sh MAKEDEV sd1 sd2 fdisk -iy -g -b 960 sd0 fdisk -iy -g -b 960 sd1 then with disklabel -E sd0 i created layout with one RAID type partition. then cloned this layout to second drive. After that i have created bioctl -c 1 -l sd0a,sd1a softraid0 sd2 was created successfully. i than type "exit" and installed openbsd on sd2 disk, using gpt. The installed system boots, but the last line i see is: wskbd0 at pckbd0: console keyboard, using wsdisplay0 that's all. my keyboard not working and boot process stops. I have tried to boot without inteldrm but nothing changed except resolution. Is there i done something wrong?

pf: matching untagged traffic
Hi, Is it possible for pf to match traffic that has not been tagged? It seems possible to match a tag, or traffic that lacks a particular tag but I can't see any way to match traffic that has no tag at all? Any clues? Context: I'd like to tag at input particular traffic for specific outbound processing but have a catch-all for everything else. -d

Re: Adding New Commands to BGP Looking Glass?
Sorry for the replies in quick succession, I just wanted to thank you- yup, those commands got "mtrace" to appear! :D Now all I have to do is configure the bgplg.h file to make the mtrace command work properly, should be easy peasy Thanks again dude! -- Sent from: http://openbsd-archive.7691.n7.nabble.com/openbsd-user-misc-f3.html
Re: Adding New Commands to BGP Looking Glass?
Thank you for the reply, Okay that's good to know- I'm getting a couple errors but I can probably iron them out. So do I need to do that set of commands every time I add something new to the "bgplg.c" file? Should those commands detect "mtrace" automatically or do I need to do something else?

Perl , divert-to and getsockname
Hello,
I m trying to use divert-to and Perl to manage in one place incoming packet,
keeping the destination address intact
As man says :
--
divert-to host port port Used to redirect packets to a local socket
bound to host and port. The packets will not be modified, so
getsockname(2) on the socket will return the original destination
address of the packet.
--
OI::Socket in perl do
sub recv {
@_ == 3 || @_ == 4 or croak 'usage: $sock->recv(BUF, LEN [, FLAGS])';
my $sock = $_[0];
my $len = $_[2];
my $flags = $_[3] || 0;
# remember who we recv'd from
${*$sock}{'io_socket_peername'} = recv($sock, $_[1]='', $len, $flags);
}
But RECV read a buffer, that could be multiple incoming data.
--
any call to getsockname(2) reply 127.0.0.1 which is the bind i pass
to the UDP socket ,
which is kinda normal .
i did `pass on ingress proto udp divert-to 127.0.0.1 port 1234`
So far I do not see how i could make this work. And relayd use divert
socket, is there
an example of this somewhere ?
Best.

24.7. amd64 snapshot (install kernel) causes panic

POWER9 hardware donation
I'm offering my brand new IBM 9006-22P with two 16-core 2.9GHZ CPUs to the OpenBSD project for free. Who can make the hardware port happen? Serious attempts only.
Questions about crypto and USA laws, concerns today
I don't watch any news on TV and for the most part only read headlines that show up on my phone despite the fact I don't want them. What is going on overall with the US and cryptography? I recently joined an organization that has legitimate concerns about privacy, so I thought I'd ask those who know and have history with this issue. Get a lawyer doesn't seem like very useful advice, since all of this seems to be in the process of change at the upper levels of US government. How does the outlook appear to be right now? I was young when all the original BS was going on with exporting cryptography, so my memories aren't very useful. I haven't searched anywhere yet, since I wanted to know if the old topics about this on the lists are still good references or have things changed too much to be very useful? As a side note, the organization has just put up a new website running on software they own and are still in the process of getting completely working. They are using nginx and wordpress. I don't know any more than that. Thanks for any response. I do consider this on topic for OpenBSD since things are concerning here in the USA. Chris Bennett

Re: POWER9 hardware donation
Hi, I'm working on a powerpc64 port, I've been at it 2 weeks non-stop. I don't know if I'll finish. But I gotta say hey! this is a generous offer. Since I'm focusing on the big endian machine byte order and on PowerPC 970's it would need to be ported again to little endian afaik. If it's possible to run on a Power9 in big endian mode this would be cool. I believe I am not worthy of such a machine and only worthy if I port OpenBSD to my PowerPC 970FX cpu. Let's take our time and wait to see if I or anyone else moves in a positive direction in this area. BTW I've been working on a cross-compiler to powerpc64 today. I used kevlo's riscv cross compiler port and modified it. Unfortunately I started before sunrise and it's sunset now and i haven't managed to get cross-gcc working. I may succeed tomorrow.

Re: POWER9 hardware donation
Fulltime work on a port definitely qualifies as a serious attempt. It is almost impossible to say for sure you can manage such a port. All I want is that this beauty is actively used for OpenBSD. Otherwise I'll keep it for my own developments or reuse the CPUs in a Thalos workstation if that's even possible. And, yes the POWER9 architecture can run both in big- and small endian mode. Let's wait a bit more and see who's most "qualified" to take the task. I live in The Netherlands b.t.w. so shipping from there. On Tue, Jul 24, 2018 at 9:21 PM, Peter J.

Re: POWER9 hardware donation
Actually, POWER9 is bi-endian and can switch between BE and LE at runtime. BE actually has a very slight performance advantage in some cases. Linux is the only OS that appears to be doing much LE stuff on POWER, other OS development that I'm aware of is all BE focused. I know that Timothy Pearson at Raptor Engineering has an open offer to provide remote access to POWER9 systems for the purposes of OS porting, if access to a machine is the problem. Peter, I'm sure that he'd give you access to one if you wanted. Also, for anyone interested in POWER who has already looked at the Talos II when it first came out and didn't get it because of the price -- it might be worth another look, there's a Lite variant available now at a lower cost than the original Talos II, as well as a limited number of "Special Developer Systems" ( https://secure.raptorcs.com/content/TLSDS1/intro.html ) that are being sold complete for US$1600, intended as a way for kernel / software developers to get a box for doing kernel dev / compiling cheaply. (They have an older stepping of the processor that doesn't support virtualization and spectre/meltdown mitigation, but any Sforza Power9 processor can be dropped in later) I grabbed one of those myself when they first went on sale and it will be arriving tomorrow. I'll be able to test stuff and maybe do some debugging on my end. (I don't work for Raptor Engineering, but I own two of their machines now and am thoroughly enjoying the hardware, and am very enthusiastic about POWER9 in general.) Regarding Pascal's offer in the OP, the 9006-22P is also an OpenBMC based machine (as opposed to a FSP based machine, so it and the Talos II should be nearly identical in how they appear to the OS, so any work on OPAL bits will work for both at the same time.

Since you're talking about donating a physical machine, I think that it might actually be a good candidate for a build box. Have you asked Theo directly yet?
Re: Questions about crypto and USA laws, concerns today
Hi Chris, Im not a Lawyer, But basically you cant export cryptographic technology from the US, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Export_of_cryptography_from_the_United_States If you want to ship a firewall to an overseas office (for a VPN) Im not certain it would constitute exporting. as you are not selling it, (Get legal advice on this) also host countries (particularly ones with large powerful intelligence organizations generally have restrictions on what Cryptographic kit can come into that country... Im not aware of any restrictions on Cryptography coming into the US https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Restrictions_on_the_import_of_cryptography ...

I am definitely not any kind of expert on this (including about export rules), but I read the news frequently. For privacy, I have been under the impression that federal law enforcement and legislators mostly were grasping the idea, that encryption backdoors would cause more harm to the public, than good for law enforcement. And it seems reasonable to hope that encryption for privacy will remain legal. But future federal policy or legislative details are very hard to predict right now.

You need it licensed to export each product type. Even if it has come from abroad you then need it licensed to export it back out, lol.

Problem from OpenBSD User
Hello, OpenBSD developers. I like OpenBSD very much because of its security and stability. But, as an UNIX-like system, it has some traditional problem such as no integrated graphical operating environment (not means X but a completed desktop environment system like Gnome). So, I tried to install the Gnome software. Although I tried hard to install and run Gnome, I always get a "Failed connect to system bus: No such file or dictionary." error message. So I want to ask you to give me a practical way to install the desktop environment on OpenBSD 6.3 and furthermore, advise you to integrated desktop environment into the system for making the system easier to use.

Re: A problem from user
I will beat others to the punch and say you were looking for Ubuntu not OpenBSD. OpenBSD is plenty easy to use, but the type of easy to use you describe with a full desktop environment is not the target. However installing gnome is simple enough. Several sites exist describing it. I am guessing from your output though you have not setup dbus which is required for gnome. You will need to add that to you /etc/rc.conf.local Ken On Wed, Jul 25, 2018 at 01:49:44AM +, ??? ?? wrote: > Hello, OpenBSD developers. > > I like OpenBSD very much because of its security and stability. > > But, as an UNIX-like system, it has some traditional problem such as no > integrated graphical operating environment (not means X but a completed > desktop environment system like Gnome).

So much that email comes from outlook.com . Known pros on proper setups :-) https://bsdly.blogspot.com/2018/02/a-life-lesson-in-mishandling-smtp.html But, as an UNIX-like system, it has some traditional problem such as no integrated graphical operating environment (not means X but a completed desktop environment system like Gnome). So, I tried to install the Gnome software. It's not a problem. It's a feature. In any case you failed right on start because of not reading documentation which clearly states that there are 3 graphical environments available in OpenBSD https://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq11.html Although I tried hard to install and run Gnome, I always get a "Failed connect to system bus: No such file or dictionary." error message. So I want to ask you to give me a practical way to install the desktop environment on OpenBSD 6.3 and furthermore, advise you to integrated desktop environment into the system for making the system easier to use. Ok. So you pick up Gnome, install it and then you did not read messages which it showed to you after install what else needs to be done. How is that Unix-like problem? Start in /usr/local/share/doc/pkg-readmes Sobin Besides you obviously skipped this one too https://www.openbsd.org/mail.html

I have what I feel to be a profound idea that is in need of someone with a strong resume. I have a patent. I want to use it to enable users to get tested for sexually transmitted diseases, then use iris scanning smartphones to compare their disease sets. There is a strong epidemiological component that the US National Institutes of Health could like. I am applying for grants. I have multiple HIV prevention scientists willing to help me with this. At the end of he grants, I feel, is likely to be strong possibility that we could use an existing mechanism to force the health insurance companies to cover their customers for these services, and cover it FOR FREE! The government doesn't consider costs when it makes this decision. Also we could DOMINATE the dating app world by either making our app that is free and contains the functionality of identifying other users who won't transfer disease or plugging into tinder, match, and Grindr! 816-517-1996
