It is on line 1422 of 'install.sub' of the 7.1 bsd.rd. As reported in my other mail, adding "@" to the regex, as well as eliminating the "=" from the password solved it and I was able to install.
Re: 'not a valid hostname' error in 'bsd.rd' when using ,htaccess authorization
At about line 1422 of the install.sub the hostname is checked with a ksh specific pattern: cat -n install.sub | sed -ne '/?(http/p' 1422 ?(http?(s)://)+([A-Za-z0-9:.\[\]_-])) With sed(1) I added "@" to the pattern cat -n install.sub | sed -ne '/?(http/p' 1422 ?(http?(s)://)+([@A-Za-z0-9:.\[\]_-])) And now the the server name validates as OK: Location of sets?

'not a valid hostname' error in 'bsd.rd' when using ,htaccess authorization
I am testing autoinstall for a VPS hosted in a datacenter. By using an OpenBSD native VM on my desktop I got all my issues with 'install.conf' and 'install.site' solved. To provide some access control I created an '.htaccess' file for my local httpd server at 192.168.222.242 and for my external webserver xyz.nl The retrieval of 'install.conf' as well as the autopartitioning template are successful: Response file location? [http://192.168.222.10/install.conf] https://wodan:=ilovefreya=@xyz.nl/install.conf Fetching https://wodan:=ilovefreya=@xyz.nl/install.conf Performing non-interactive install... Terminal type?

(disk http nfs or 'done') [http] http HTTP proxy URL? (e.g. 'http://proxy:8080', or 'none') [none] none HTTP Server? (hostname, list#, 'done' or '?') [192.168.222.242] wodan:=ilovefreya=@192.168.222.242 'wodan:=ilovefreya=@192.168.222.242' is not a valid hostname. The same error occurs when I want to install the custom site* sets from my non-local xyz.nl server HTTP Server? (hostname, list#, 'done' or '?') [192.168.222.242] wodan:=ilovefreya=@xyz.nl 'wodan:=ilovefreya=@xyz.nl' is not a valid hostname. So using an username and password for .htaccess control is accepted by bsd.rd for the 'install.conf' and autopartioning template, while it errors out when dealing with the install sets. The password '=ilovefreya=' has a leading and trailing '='. Tomorrow I will eliminate those '='s and see whether that helps. Adriaan van Roosmalen

Re: What happened when 5.5 met my old reliable box
>From the OpenBSD FAQ: At the boot loader prompt, enter boot> *set tty com0* This will tell OpenBSD to use the first serial port (often called COM1 or COMA in PC documentation) as a serial console. The default baud rate is 9600. You set the speed higher by first typing "stty com0 19200" This is documented in the boot.conf man page. On your workstation you can use tip(1) as terminal emulator. You can easily record the session to file by creating a ".tiprc" file: beautify record='LOGS/serial-log.txt' script verbose Create the LOGS directory, add yourself to the dialer group. With something like"tip -v -19200 tty00" you can then start tip. If you have an USB->Serial converter you need to use ttyU0 as mentioned in ucom(4) On Tue, Dec 16, 2014 at 7:09 AM, Rod Whitworth wrote: > > On Tue, 16 Dec 2014 00:16:52 -0500, Ted Unangst wrote: > > >On Tue, Dec 16, 2014 at 16:05, Rod Whitworth wrote: > >> I tried 5.5 - crashes there too. > >> > >> 5.4 and earlier work well. > >> > >> Clues?

You could use a Makefile to concatenate a pf.conf from separate files.
This can give more flexibility than provided by "include" :
-
$ cat vlan500
#macroes
DB="192.168.0.10/32"
Webserver="192.168.1.20/32"
#macroes_end
# --- vlan500
block log on vlan500
pass in quick on vlan500 inet proto tcp from $Webserver to $DB port 3306
pass out on vlan500
$ cat vlan1000
#macroes
DB="192.168.0.10/32"
#macroes_end
# --- vlan1000
block log on vlan1000
pass in quick on vlan1000 inet proto tcp from any to $Webserver port 80
pass out on vlan1000
$ cat Makefile
pf.conf: macroes_unique vlan500.conf vlan1000.conf
cat ${.ALLSRC} > ${.TARGET}
vlan1000.conf: vlan1000
sed -e '/#macroes/,/#macroes_end/d' ${.ALLSRC} > ${.TARGET}
vlan1000.mac: vlan1000
sed -ne '/#macroes/,/#macroes_end/p' ${.ALLSRC} > ${.TARGET}
vlan500.conf: vlan500
sed -e '/#macroes/,/#macroes_end/d' ${.ALLSRC} > ${.TARGET}
vlan500.mac: vlan500
sed -ne '/#macroes/,/#macroes_end/p' ${.ALLSRC} > ${.TARGET}
macroes_unique: vlan500.mac vlan1000.mac
echo "# Macro definitions" >${.TARGET}
sort -u ${.ALLSRC} | sed -e '/#macroes/d' >> ${.TARGET}
clean:
rm -f *.conf *.mac macroes_unique
$ make clean
rm -f *.conf *.mac macroes_unique
$ make
sed -ne '/#macroes/,/#macroes_end/p' vlan500 > vlan500.mac
sed -ne '/#macroes/,/#macroes_end/p' vlan1000 > vlan1000.mac
echo "# Macro definitions" >macroes_unique
sort -u vlan500.mac vlan1000.mac | sed -e '/#macroes/d' >> macroes_unique
sed -e '/#macroes/,/#macroes_end/d' vlan500 > vlan500.conf
sed -e '/#macroes/,/#macroes_end/d' vlan1000 > vlan1000.conf
cat macroes_unique vlan500.conf vlan1000.conf > pf.conf
$ cat pf.conf
# Macro definitions
DB="192.168.0.10/32"
Webserver="192.168.1.20/32"
# --- vlan500
block log on vlan500
pass in quick on vlan500 inet proto tcp from $Webserver to $DB port 3306
pass out on vlan500
# --- vlan1000
block log on vlan1000
pass in quick on vlan1000 inet proto tcp from any to $Webserver port 80
pass out on vlan1000
---
So the Makefile collects macroes defined in the vlan500 and vlan1000
files and after eliminating any duplicates, stuffs them into the
"macroes_unique" file.
The "vlan500" and "vlan1000", after stripping the macroes, become
"vlan500.conf" and "vlan1000.conf".
The "pf.conf" Makefile target then concatenates the "macroes_unique"
and the vlan*.conf files to the final pf.conf.
BTW http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/pmake/index.html
has a nice HTML version of the BSD make documentation.

"The siteXX.tgz file set is, like the other file sets, a gzip(1)

The Fine Manual page for tar describes the "-p" option as:
" Preserve user and group ID as well as file mode regardless of the
current umask(2)"
So it just works like advertised ;)
To deal with the permission there are a few possibilities
Adjust the permissions, owner or group in the install.site script. Or
do this before tarring up the siteXX.tgz file.
Or because patch(1) does not alter permissions, use it in the
install.site script:
# -
echo --- patch script for: sudoers --- BEGIN
# --- edit the following line if needed
FILE=/etc/sudoers
#FILE=$( basename ${FILE} )
patch -b -p0 ${FILE} < ${FILE}
# put complete file here
END

Because as explained above, the siteXX.tgz file is untarred using "-p".
I use the following install.site script template, which sources the
actual postinstall script with the sh "." sourcing command, here for
the gutenberg host.
#!/bin/sh
INSTALL_LOG=./var/log/install.report
install -m 660 /dev/null ${INSTALL_LOG}

For a local snapshot ftp server in my LAN, I use a table with
'approved' ftp servers and only allow passive ftp to these servers.
The table can be updated with pfctl if needed.
table {
ftp.openbsd.org
ftp.eu.openbsd.org
anga.funkfeuer.at
ftp.wu-wien.ac.at
ftp.nluug.nl
ftp5.usa.openbsd.org
ftp3.usa.openbsd.org
obsd.cec.mtu.edu
}
# -- sysctl
# net.inet.ip.porthifirst=49152
FTPfirst = 49152
# -- outgoing passive ftp
pass out quick on egress inet proto tcp from egress to \
port ftp
pass out quick on egress inet proto tcp from egress port >= 1023
to port >= $FTPfirst
For a less rigid approach you could define an anchor and in case you
want to do ftp, populate
the anchor with a variation of the the above rules:
pass out quick on egress inet proto tcp from egress to any \
port ftp
pass out quick on egress inet proto tcp from egress port >= 1023
to any port >= $FTPfirst
After finishing ftp you flush the rules from the anchor.
I know this is not exactly what you asked for ;)

IIRC there is a setup program, which is a little bit confusing, and you have to edit protocol.ini and another *ini file. And you need a driver for your NIC. NIC's from that time came with a floppy with drivers for Microsoft Client or Lan Manager. Adriaan Adriaan IIRC these are self extracting

The MBR has only 4 slots for partitions. If you only would use primary partitions you can have maximum 4 of these. You also can have a single extended partition, combined with 0 to 3 primary partitions. You cannot have multiple extended partitions. If you need to run Linux, it would be best to create 2 logical partitions within the extended partition for Linux. One logical for the Linux system and the other for Linxu swap. That would free up the current primary ReiserFS.partition. While Linux can boot from a logical partitions inside an extended one, the BSDs only can boot from a primary partition. So besides Linux you could install 3 other operating systems that need a primary partition. A possible complication would be a "suspend-to-RAM" partition which possible would take away one, only leaving you with only 2 primaries. I never owned a laptop, nor did I use suspend-to-RAM so I leave that issue to others ;) =Adriaan=

I noticed the binary snapshot X installation file sets are absent from the snapshots during the last few days. Do you mean those? But X snapshot file sets were not being built daily. There have been some minor issues with the transition from 4.1-current to 4.2-beta. Maybe the i386 X snapshot file sets suffer the same fate ;) [snip] =Adriaan=

Also, when attempting to access my webserver via DNS from another site, no DNS queries came through to my server while monitoring the dump information on rl0 (my nameserver's nic). Does tcpdump on the external NIC of your OpenBSD firewall show any DNS requests coming in? Doing a A record seach for www.theamericanbray.com at http://www.squish.net/dnscheck/ gives the following result: 50.0% of queries will end in failure at 64.142.102.9 (a.ns.theamericanbray.com) - query timed out 50.0% of queries will end in failure at 64.142.102.10 (b.ns.theamericanbray.com) - query timed out Keep in mind that you have to perform test from the outside as described in http://openbsd.unixtech.be/faq/pf/rdr.html#reflect Did you do the tests suggested in the section "Checking addresses of your computers" of http://cr.yp.to/djbdns/run-server.html ? =Adriaan=

The time that I had a similar issue, where tcpdump on pflog0 didn't show anything, turned out to be a routing issue. I had a authoritative-only nameserver in a DMZ and forgot to set it's default route to the IP address of the DMZ NIC of the OBSD firewall. It didn't know how to route ihe replies to the outside and hence nothing showed up on pflog0. tcpdump is not limited to pflog0, you also can run it on a normal interface. ;) SSH in on the nameserver and run tcpdump on it's NIC tcpdump -ni fxp0 port domain Check if you see a DNS request coming in =Adriaan=

I have an old IBM PC Graphics printer (dot-matrix) attached to my debian box but everyone there seems to use CUPS. I could just as easily connect the printer to my OBSD box. The last time I used this printer to print postscript was a few years ago. It was connected to a debian box running LPRng but debian's gs did't have a driver that would work. I ended up using foomatic and gs-esp with the ML 320 driver. foomatic and cups seems like going overboard for something so simple. So what do OBSD people use? Have a look at apsfilter. Simple to install as a pre-compiled binary package. apsfilter needs ghostscript as well as a2ps. There one small thing you may have to fix. a reference to gawk in the SETUP script.

Re: PF problems with many connections.

Hello.
I trying to use OpenBSD under high load and have problems with PF.
When there is very many connections to server in some point other
connections just failes.
I try to use simple test application that creates 1000 connections to
server for 1000 iteration. Maximum number I have observed with pf was
'12' but with 'pfctl -d' all cycle successfully works ('1000').
I try to use following simple test application:
Also I have looked the same when testing 'ab' from apache2
distribution. 'ab -c 100 -n 100' : maximum 9 iteration with pf enabled
and 100 without.
There is instant connection closing if "keep state" is enabled. When
"keep state" is disabled there is following behaviour: in some moment
the program is waiting for reply but do not get it and connection also
close because timeout.
I have looked no problems in tcpdump reports. Also no blocked packets
was in pflog0 interface ('block log all' rule)
I am sure that states limit is not exceed. Now I have
set limit states50
set limit src-nodes 5
set limit frags 32000
And `pfctl -si` have normal values.
'antispoof' and 'scrub' options are not affected. 'set optimization'
make more bad.
I looked the same behaviour in real use: when there is many
connection, in some point they just closed.
Any help will be appropriated. Many thanks.
P.S. Sorry for my bad english.
Study the execellent 3 part series of OpenBSD developer at
http://undeadly.org/cgi?action=article&sid=20060927091645&mode=expanded
If after following his advice, your firewall still does not perform
adequately come back here with a posting of:
1) dmesg to see what kind of hardware you are using
2) vmstat -i output to show the interrupt rate of the NICs
Using 'systat vmstat" will give you a 'live' view of the interrupt
rate and other resources
3) netstat -m output to see the mbuf stats
4) your pf.conf
Others may have additional suggestions of course ;)

Of the X installation file sets I only installed xbase41.tgz because
of the expat libs needed by some binary packages.

Well, OpenBSD's dual system for dealing with software ('base' and
'ports') could be criticized, but unless you want to do that, there is
no more sensible way to do this. The alternative would be to require
someone to install a port before installing X, which makes even less
sense.
Really, this is a non-problem. Just install the whole base system,
including at least xbase, and be done with it.
I follow current by installing binary snapshots and pre-compiled packages.
fetchmail also depends on expat.
Because I don't want the complete xbase41.tgz I just extract the expat libs
and put them in a site41-hostname.tgz
#!/bin/sh
VERSION=41
HOST=diogenes
TARBALL=site${VERSION}-${HOST}.tgz
tar xvzpf xbase41.tgz -C /tmp \*expat\*
tar cvzf $TARBALL -C /tmp usr
tar tvzf $TARBALL

It`s kinda hard to find companies wich do provide such services OR do even just reply (or reply in a accaptable amount of time (wich is NOT 14days and more..)). So if anybody is working for such a company or knows such a company please do read this public request and do let me know. Wanted: My friend is looking for a Server wich has nearly those specifications: - Celeron 2.8ghz (or better of course) - 1GB RAM - 80GB HDD space - OpenBSD 4.0 as OS! (or Linux rescue-system wich allows him to install it) - No fBSD,, no nBSD... OPENBSD... it is CLEARLY a demand! So the Hardware must be supported 100% by OpenBSD - ~200-400gb Traffic - Serval IPs - Tech. contact who do know what they do (!= STRATO for example..) -- Propably the possibility to get special offers - Configurations for other servers - More/less Bandwith on demand to accaptable prices He would be able to pay ~100-150 USD, by Creditcard of his company. Also it would be great if the connection (speed, peering) would be good and not as lousy as at the most providers My friend did send out a request to m5hosting because I told him this company is what he`s looking for. Unfortunaly m5hosting did replied after more then 14 days and now he`s again waiting already for 72 hours and more. This is simply unaccaptable and it is a shame (yeah, sorry) that the company is listed at a openbsd website. I think there`s no need to explain that this is unaccaptable if you wanna open a business and propably do already have customers... It just SUCKS (sorry Mike...) So I would be happy to get such offers or offers with different configurations. if you`re working for such a company this is propably your chance ot get not just one customer. Also m5hosting is allowed to provide a offer. They just would have to write or answer a mail IN TIME (less then 72hrs...). He needs to make some business and not to play a waiting game...

This is replacing a SonicWALL device that was working fine from the user's perspective. (I want to replace it because, among other things, I abhor SonicWALL's licensing). I won't post a dmesg unless requested because I think this platform is pretty well known. Hosts on the internal network are able to access the Internet but report that access seems slow. Some operations fail consistently. For example, users can send and receive e-mail e-mails but can't send e-mail with attachments larger than about 20K. I ran a browser-based ADSL speed test from an internal host and found download speeds to be quite good but upload tests fail to complete. I found a few similar problems in the archives but the posted solutions haven't worked for me. I can't see that pf is blocking anything I want passed. At the moment I am running a stripped down pf.conf as follows: # DECLARATIONS: Ext_If="sis0" Int_If="sis1" DMZ_If="sis2" Int_Net="192.168.5.0/24" # OPTIONS: set loginterface $Ext_If # NAT / REDIRECTION: nat on $Ext_If from $Int_Net to any -> ($Ext_If) rdr on $Ext_If inet proto tcp from any to ($Ext_If) port 3391 \ -> 192.168.5.1 port 3391 rdr on $Ext_If inet proto tcp from any to ($Ext_If) port 3392 \ -> 192.168.5.2 port 3392 I think I can rule out things like speed and duplex problems between the Soekris and the local switch because the problem only affects outbound traffic. I tried a few scrub options to no avail but may not have been doing the right thing. I would really appreciate any suggestions on how to troubleshoot this. If I can't get this resolved by Monday morning I'm going to take some heat. Do netstat -in, netstat -s or netstat -ss give any clues?

Anybody considering using any application written in PHP should consider Marc Espie's option about the PHP language ( http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=openbsd-misc&m=114664070319490&w=2 ) - quote - I'm not the maintainer of php itself, but still I have an opinion. I don't like php, from a security point of view. It has an AWFUL track record. Some people will tell you it has seen lots of vulnerabilities because it's in heavy use. Well, I've had a look at the code, it has seen lots of vulnerabilities because it was never designed with security in mind. That said, we provide php because some people may want it. I personally would NOT want to run that on any kind of web server (in fact, I use perl's HTML::Mason as the same kind of framework). I can give you a simple answer though. Yes, php* is vulnerable. Doesn't matter whether you're talking about this vulnerability, or another. There will be another one lurking around the corner. Fixing vulnerabilities in the php code is like sticking a finger in a dike. Great legendary stuff, doesn't really work in reality. -- end quote ---

I interpret it that you need a "pass" before the log ;)
man pf.conf of 3.8 current ---
rdr-rule = [ "no" ] "rdr" [ "pass" [ "log" [ "(" logopts ")" ] ] ]
[ "on" ifspec ] [ af ]
end ---
With the "pass" it gives no syntax errors.
EXT_NIC = fxp0
rdr pass log on $EXT_NIC inet proto tcp from ! self to $EXT_NIC port
tag IN_OK -> $EXT_NIC port ssh
pfctl -s nat
rdr pass log on fxp0 inet proto tcp from ! 127.0.0.1 to 192.168.222.69
port = tag IN_OK -> 192.168.222.69 port 22
rdr pass log on fxp0 inet proto tcp from ! 192.168.222.69 to

Last year I bought a HP Deskjet 3820, but I don't think it is really a current model anymore. It has USB as well as a parallel port Because I don't use color I take advantage of the PCL support of the printer and simply configure it as a Laserjet. I use apsfilter . With "hpijs" it also prints color. =Adriaan=
