Re: Libressl and python2.7

[Alan Cheng]

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!

Libressl and python2.7

[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: OpenBSD as NAS

[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

[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.

Re: kill a stale user session?

[Alan Cheng]

Got nothing from  "ps aux|fgrep acheng@ttyp4". No SSHD process to kill
either.

The problem for me is that no process belongs to ttyp4, but "w" still
reports an idle session.

kill a stale user session?

[Alan Cheng]

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
an OpenBSD 5.1 on i386, by the way.

Any advice appreciated.

some output, more will be provided if necessary.

I once used sudosh2 to record all user sessions by setting it as a login

It was on Solaris 10 and forgot whether it can send logs to a remote

Re: xfce4 freeze on Loongson netbook

[Alan Cheng]

With help from many  on and off-list, I finally worked around the freeze
issue, by doing the following:

1. went back to 5.0 release
2. in .xinitrc, use "dbus-lunch startxfce4" instead of just "startxfce4.

Just in case anyone is still interested in this.

Thanks again.

Re: xfce4 freeze on Loongson netbook

[Alan Cheng]

yeah.
I upgraded it from 5.0 to snapshot, but just found there is no
"thunar" package in snapshot. so I'm running everything else in snapshot
with thunar still in 5.0. That's very likely the cause of  library
connflicts.

I'm compiling thunar from updated ports now ...

thanks.

Re: xfce4 freeze on Loongson netbook

[Alan Cheng]

I agree it's an issue with xfce4, the window manager, instead of the entire 
system. will check num lock key. I checked ps before but didn't find anything 
unusual. will give it another try.

good to know there is a model on which xfce4 works. Mine is 8101.

xfce4 freeze on Loongson netbook

[Alan Cheng]

Hello List,

So I'm using a Loongson YeeLoong netbook. I installed XFCE4 without any
issues, But it will freeze after around 15 minutes, even if I do nothing on
it. Starting "terminal" will cause it to freeze immediately.

I can still SSH into this netbook after freeze and everything else seems to
be fine.

This happens back during 4.9 days. It's the same on 5.0 and current
snapshot.

Any insight will be appreciated. and I'll be glad to provide any info
required to troubleshoot this.

I'm not sure exactly what info will be needed, so I'll start with dmesg.
More will be provided as necessary:

Great!

By the way, the picture on http://openbsd.org/51.html is still linked to

Re: SSH Mastery -- New book by Michal Lucas!

[Alan Cheng]

As much as I want a printed copy, I just ordered an electronic copy on
smashwords.com -- the int'l shipping cost, which is usually higher than the
book itself, can be put to better use, like a donation to the project.

thanks ml.

thanks all for the responses.

Re: Is fdisk partition a must for a non-system disk on i386

[Alan Cheng]

thanks Janne for the explanation.

I thought a fdisk partition on i386 is *required* after reading FAQ14/man
pages and I was a bit surprised to be able to create a disklabel partition
without doing "fdisk -i". so I wrote to the list for help on what I
mis-understood ...

thanks.

Is fdisk partition a must for a non-system disk on i386

[Alan Cheng]

Hello list,

I'm playing around with fdisk on a vmware virtual machine with 5.0 i386.
Despite what's in FAQ14.4, I found I can still create disklabel partitions
without a fdisk partition (no fdisk -i $disk) on a blank disk.

I'm confused. So my question is:
 1. Is fdisk partition a must for a NON-SYSTEM disk on i386?
 2. what is the disadvantage of using a disklabel partition without fdisk
partition in above mentioned scenario?

thanks.

Re: file name too long error - apache

[Alan Cheng]

this was resolved by changing 1024 to 2048 on 3 lines of two files, as
shown below, and recompile the kernel/userland.

./sys/sys/syslimits.h:46:#definePATH_MAX 2048   /*
max bytes in pathname */
./include/stdio.h:187:#define   FILENAME_MAX2048/* must be <=
PATH_MAX  */
./include/stdio.h:193:#define   L_tmpnam2048 /* XXX must be ==
PATH_MAX */

thanks for the help, on and off the list.

file name too long error - apache

[Alan Cheng]

Hello list,

I'm trying to install an PHP web app that generates very long URLs on my
OpenBSD 5.0 i386 snapshot. But I just keep getting "file name too long"
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?

Currently 3A is not out yet ("coming soon", according to Lemote).
I'll be glad to help on the ordering & shipping once 3A is available,
though my guess is it'll also be available on http://www.tekmote.nl/ by
that time.

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 "".

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?

Help on understanding mbr.S

[Alan Cheng]

Hello,

Not sure if this is the right place to request help for this, but I'm
reading mbr.S file (i386 arch), but could not figure out what the function
is for the line that reads "1:".
The code below that line is setting up statck, but why do we need this line?
and there are more than one line that reads "1:" in the mbr.S file, which
confues me even more.

Could someone help expain it a little a bit, or point me to some links that
helps? thanks.


... ...

 .text
.code16

.globl start
start:
/* Adjust %cs to be right */
ljmp $BOOTSEG, $1f

1:   /* what is this, a label? */


/* Set up stack */
movw %cs, %ax

/*
* We don't need to disable and re-enable interrupts around the
* the load of ss and sp.

... ...


Complete mbr.S file I'm refering to:
http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/src/sys/arch/i386/stand/mbr/mbr.S?rev=1.21;content-type=text%2Fx-cvsweb-markup


I'm still working on my AT&T assembly learning, googled around but could not
find anything related.

Hi everybody,

Just wondering if there are some documentations telling a newbie his
whereabouts in the kernel? It doesnt need to be an extensive line-by-line or

Thanks Stuart for sharing this. I once found a copy of this doc in 
Russian, and had been trying to find something similar in English.
