Libressl and python2.7

2014-12-21 Thread Alan Cheng
Hi,
How can I use libressl with a python2.7 programm on current?

The python program use import OpenSSL, and I tried replace OpenSSL with 
Libtls and Libressl, but none can be found. 

Searched Misc, Tech and FAQ, didn't find anything helpful.

Thanks.

Re: Libressl and python2.7

Thanks Benjamin. Ssl works.
But now I got a new eorror: OpenSSL.crypto.Pkey() function not found.

Tried help(ssl) but found that module does not provide any  crypto related 
functions. Is there more modules to be imported or anything? 

Thanks!

Re: OpenBSD as NAS

2013-03-28 Thread Alan Cheng
I did this on a similar hardware (Atom d525 + 4G + 100M LAN + 1 SATA2
drive) a few weeks ago with OpenBSD AMD64 snapshot, but now I switched to
Ubuntu due to file copy performance issue. I can get around 10MB/s on
OpenBSD, but around 20MB/s with Ubuntu on the same hardware.

One major difference here: my NAS is not for disaster, it's simply for file
sharing.  All data is  back'ed up somewhere else. It's also my wireless AP,
btw.

I'll be glad to know if there is any tips/advices to get better file copy
speed on a OpenBSD NAS.

Re: virtualization

2013-01-05 Thread Alan Cheng
I've been using virtualbox to run OpenBSD for over 2 years and I'm happy
with it. The only issue I had is when I have more than 3 snapshots for a
guest OS (OpenBSD or others) and its hard disk is  20+G, VM export seems
not work.

I tried VMWare Workstation and it works great too for OpenBSD, but since
Virtualbox does not cost any money, I stick with it.

kill a stale user session?

Hello all,

I'd like to kill an stale user session, but could not find a way to do
that. Seems like there is no process attached to that ttyp4 any more. It's

Any advice appreciated.

yeah.
I upgraded it from 5.0 to snapshot, but just found there is no

with thunar still in 5.0. That's very likely the cause of  library

unusual. will give it another try.

I'm sorry, but this hardly sounds like the system freezing to me. On the
other hand, it sounds from what you are reporting, that the X server (on
an X application, such as the window manager) is misbehaving.

You might want to check for the state of your `num lock' key, and look
for a process in an unnatural state in a ps output.

I can't help with your problem but if you run the window manager with
startx, the output of startx is always very useful. Run startx
with this command:
startx 1startx-output.log 21

Also, you can log in your loongson with ssh, execute tail -f

 You'll notice that the OpenBSD folks are charging cover price. That's
 because this is a fundraiser. I don't make anything on these books,

 It'll be available through all the usual online booksellers

  February 2012, 145 pp.
  A guide to what you need to know about SSH. This book will help you
  eliminate passwords on your network, tunnel unencrypted protocols through
  secure channels, build VPNs with OpenSSH, and more. Focuses on the
 OpenSSH
  server, the OpenSSH client, and the PuTTY client. Michael W Lucas is the
  author of Absolute OpenBSD and other BSD books. Helping support OpenBSD,
  Michael is contributing all his author's profits, from orders via the
 main
  OpenBSD order page, back to the project.
  [ Order direct from the OpenBSD website International.]
  /clip
 
  A book like this is great for those of us that have a lot on our plate.
  I can remember a long period when I kind of knew what OpenSSH could do
  but just didn't have the time to parse out the man page to properly to
  forward a browser port or a mail port, to set up a VPN, and I could have
  benefited a lot sooner with a bit more well explained cookbook examples
  at my fingertips.  Then there's that pesky stuff with keep alive and so
  on.  What does it all really mean for the context I was having trouble
  with?
 
  Hey, I wonder if Michael has anything to say about the safety of even
  using OpenSSH variants on a different operating system to access one of
 my
  OpenBSD boxen.  I'm looking forward to read my own copy.
 
  Yes, this book has already been out in electronic form for a bit, but
  myself I spend too much time looking at screen and I still like the
  physical experience of handling a book.  Besides, the printed version
  already benefits from reader corrections to the electronic edition.
 
  Michael has been very gracious with timely help to enable the main
 OpenBSD
  website to be the first to offer it, It will be available everywhere
 soon,
  but we do have a jump on it this time.  It's been so long for us since we
  last enjoyed Michael's style that we enjoyed in Absolute OpenBSD, I am
  really happy to see him come back to us with this new volume.
 
  There will be a slight delay before the first copies arrive and can be
  shipped, but the order site is already set up.

 fdisk and disklabel aren't really optional in that sense.
 Every disk (at least on PC derivates) should have one A6 partition,
 and a disklabel to match the area inside that fdisk partition.

 You can fake around it in various ways, but there is seldom a real
 need to, so why bother doing it in odd ways? It will perhaps bite you
 in the long run to do it in non-standard ways.

  errors in apache error log like below.
  It happened on both built-in apache 1.3 and apache-httpd (2.2.20) in
 ports.
  I even tried compile apache2 using source files from ubuntu,  as the same
  app works fine on ubuntu 11.04 + apache2 (2.2.17), it didn't help either.
 
  Any insight or suggestions?

Re: OpenBSD 5.0 released Nov 1, 2011

2011-11-01 Thread Alan Cheng
Thanks!  and Yeah!

On Tue, Nov 1, 2011 at 10:38 PM, Theo de Raadt dera...@cvs.openbsd.orgwrote:

 
 Nov 1, 2011.

 We are pleased to announce the official release of OpenBSD 5.0.
 This is our 30th release on CD-ROM (and 31th via FTP).  We remain
 proud of OpenBSD's record of more than ten years with only two remote
 holes in the default install.

 As in our previous releases, 5.0 provides significant improvements,
 including new features, in nearly all areas of the system:

  - Improved hardware support, including:
o MSI interrupts for many devices, on those architectures which can
  support them (amd64, i386, sparc64 only so far).
o A new dma_alloc(9) API makes it easier for kernel code to allocate
  dma-safe memory.  Many drivers (especially network drivers) and
  subsystems (in particular scsi and the buffer cache) were adapted
  to use this.
o As a result, big-memory support has been enabled on all possible
  architectures.
o The rather rare bce(4) driver now copies mbufs all the time, to cope
  with the hardware having a 1GB limit.
o Added hds(4), a driver for Hitachi Modular Storage SCSI devices.
o Added myx(4), a driver for the Myricom Myri-10G 10GB Ethernet devices.
o Added dfs(4), a driver for Dynamic Frequency Switching on some macppc
  systems.
o cardbus(4) and pcmcia(4) support on sgi.
o Suspend/resume support on Loongson Yeelong laptops.
o Interrupt handlers for bnx(4), em(4), ix(4) and sis(4) have been
  improved reducing overhead and increasing performance.
o New acpitoshiba(4) driver providing ACPI support for Toshiba laptops.
o Added nvt(4), a driver for the W83795G and W83795ADG hardware monitor.
o Added support to sdhc(4) for the Ricoh 5U823 SD/MMC controller.
o A new fw_update(1) tool to install and update non-free firmware
 packages.

  - Generic network stack improvements:
o Added support for sending Wake on LAN packets using arp(8).
o Permit turning Wake on LAN support on/off using ifconfig(8).
o Added Wake on LAN support to xl(4), re(4), and vr(4).
o Allow ftp-proxy to proxy across rdomains.
o The IPv4 stack will no longer accept ICMP redirects when
  acting as a router.
o By default the IPv6 stack will not process ICMP6 redirects.
  rtsol(8) will turn it back if -F is used.
o Reworked large parts of the dhclient(8) options processing for better
  interoperability.
o Fixed carp(4) to work in IPv6 only setups.
o Make it possible to bind(2) to the local network broadcast address
  on datagram and raw sockets.
o The default multicast reject route is now ignored if the UDP socket
  uses the IP_MULTICAST_IF socket option.
o Make gre(4) work between systems in the same LAN.
o Removed the link1 mode special addressing mode on lo(4).
o New net.inet.tcp.always_keepalive sysctl, effectively enabling
  SO_KEEPALIVE on all TCP sockets.

  - Routing daemons and other userland network improvements:
o bgpd(8) no longer bumps the rlimits: the rc.d framework respects
  login classes which is a much better solution.
o Correctly set the network filtersets on reload in bgpd(8).
o The routing socket is now sending RTM_DESYNC messages if the
   socketbuffer overflows.
o Allow ospfd(8) to send out LS updates and other messages
  larger than the MTU.
o Fixed nexthop calculation in ospfd(8) for directly connected P2P
 links.
o First bits to support opaque LSA in ospfd(8).  Only basic redistribute
  logic and LSDB handling for now.
o Creating new interfaces will no longer cause a fatal error in
 ospf6d(8).
o ospf6d(8) handles link-state changes better.
o Better loopback handling in ospf6d(8).
o No longer install extra multicast routes in ripd(8) and ldpd(8).
o Make kqueue(2) work with sosplice(9).
o Enabled sosplice(9) in relayd(8) for TCP.
o Added support for divert-to which provides some benefits over
  rdr-to in relayd(8).
o Reload support in relayd(8) has been fixed.
o Fixed trap sending in snmpd(8).
o Make ping6(8) compare minimum amount of bytes between what
  was received and what was sent out.
o Make traceroute(8) with type-of-service setted (-t) display
  a message if the returned packet has a different tos type.
o Added the socket splicing fields of struct socket to netstat -vP
 output.
o tcpbench(1) now uses libevent and supports both TCP and UDP modes.
o TCP socket buffer sizes can now be displayed using the netstat(1) -B
 flag.
o tcpdump(8) can now filter on icmptype and tcpflags.
o bgplg(8) now supports show ip bgp peer-as.

  - pf(4) improvements:
o Make pf(4) reassemble IPv6 fragments.  In the forward case, pf
  refragments the packets with the same maximum size.
o Allow pf(4) to filter on the rdomain a packet belongs to.
o Make

 What are you trying to do though? Working with x86 in real mode and dealing

I'm trying to learn how kernel (or OS) works.
I went through a couple of books on OS design and implementation and think I
know some general rules on OS, now I'm reading the source code to learn the
details.

Thanks Daniel for the explanation.
I went over the links you posted, and that gives me a better understanding
of what the 1:  is and local labels in general.

A follow up question, though:
So ljmp $BOOTSEC, $1f is used to set seg:offset to 07C0:. While
$BOOTSEC is defined to be 07C0, why $1f is guaranteed to be , isn't
it something volatile?

Thanks Bryan. Your explanation makes things a lot clearer to me.
As mentioned in my reply to Daniel, I not cannot figure out why $1f will
be .

 One of the first things an MBR does is do a long jump from where the BIOS
 loaded it.

 The thing is, often you can't trust the BIOS to do the right thing, the x86
 in
 16-bit real mode uses segmented memory, so you may be at :07C0 or
 7C00:
 depending on the implementation. If you read the comment higher up you'll
 see
 they perform a long jump to normalize the Code Segment to 07C0, offset 0.

 :07C0 and 7C00: technically resolve to the same address, but
 enforcing
 segment:offset (cs:ip) just makes things consistent.

 The references to :1 is a local label, used for relative addressing, 'f'
 meaning forward and 'b' meaning backward.

 http://sourceware.org/binutils/docs/as/Symbol-Names.html

 Most MBR's are OS-independent, they relocate, parse partition table, load
 the
 PBR/VBR to 7C00 and perform a ljmp to it.

 Hope that helps,
