Serial console output stalls
Hi, I am using the vmctl application on a 7.0 stable host with a -current guest. The guest was busy building some port. During this build on the guest I started another build on the host. I was following the build of the guest using vmctl console. After this I noticed a couple of times that the console stalls somewhere in the middle of outputting a line and that it resumed to show output immediately after I hit a keystroke in the console session. This has happened a couple of times now and on separate days. The system I am using is an 8 core i5. I do not know if this is known or expected somehow or that there is an issue with this. I hope someone can clarify this for me. Kind regards, Ivo van der Sangen
Re: How to set up sendmail

I know it's already installed and enabled in base but will only accept requests from local host. So I've added this flag in rc.conf.local to enable it it receive external connections: sendmail_flags=-L sm-mta -bd -q30m And I've also changed my router settings to forward all packets from port 587 to my openbsd box. And I've restarted the computer. But I still can't set up an account on my Macintosh to access the openbsd mail server. What am I doing wrong? And does sendmail use the IMAP or POP protocol? I prefer to use IMAP if possible. The name of my machine is zeus.my.domain and my ip is 24.6.209.32. I don't have a domain name so I just use my ip. On my Macintosh I've used these settings to try to create the new account. Email Address: m...@24.6.209.32 Incoming Mail Server: zeus.24.6.209.32 Here's the error message that I got from trying to set up that account on my Macintosh. The IMAP server zeus.24.6.209.32 is not responding. Try checking the network connection, and that the server name is correct. Otherwise, the server might be temporarily unavailable. If you continue, you might not be able to receive messages. Do I have to add a user account to my mail server? or do I automatically have an account if I'm a user on the OpenBSD system? Thanks everyone... especially the OpenBSD Team for the best OS in the world. Hi Mark, You will be in for quite an adventure. Sendmail is only one part of a fully fledged mail system. What sendmail does in OpenBSD is accept connections and deliver mail to the local mailbox or relay the mail to be delivered by another mail server. If you want to configure an IMAP mailbox for example I would use dovecot. Now, what else you need is dependent on your needs. So can you explain to me what you want to be able to do with your mail system? Feel free to send me a personal message if you need more help during configuration. I run a mail system on OpenBSD, which lets me send mail from anywhere in the world and read my mail from anywhere and it handles all mail destined to my domain, all in a secure fashion. Software I use to accomplish this is sendmail, cyrus-sasl, dovecot, procmail, fetchmail. You might want to read up on those. Regards, Ivo van der Sangen

pkg_add not terminating
Hi, When trying to install texlive_texmf-minimal-2007p2.tgz I run into problems. The pkg_add script does not terminate. The progress bar stops at 100% and there are still 3 processes running: perl, ftp and gzip. I have retried it multiple times, deleting any partial packages beforehand. I have tried downloading the package myself and then running pkg_add. In the end it always ends up the same. The architecture in question i386 and I have tried multiple mirrors. What could be the issue here? Regards, Ivo van der Sangen

Most filesystems are supported in the GENERIC kernel: just have a look at the kernel configuration file, located in the /usr/src/sys/arch/arch/conf directory. However, some are not, e.g. the NTFS support is experimental and therefore not included in GENERIC. If you want to use one of the filesystems not supported in GENERIC, you will need to build a custom kernel. Would it be a good idea to note the lack of support for NTFS filesystems in a GENERIC kerel in mount_ntfs(8)? If it is appreciated I will send a diff. Regards, Ivo van der Sangen

Sending mail from rc.local
I am trying to send mail from rc.local to inform users about reboots. I wrote a script /root/reboot_notification containing the following: #!/bin/sh for user in `/bin/cat /root/reboot_notification_users`; do echo $SERVER has rebooted at `/bin/date` | /usr/bin/mail -s $server reboot $user done Where $server is replaced by the hostname of the server. I added the following entry to rc.local: if [ -x /root/reboot_notification ]; then echo -n ' notifying users about reboot'; /root/reboot_notification fi I made /root/reboot_notification to be world-executable, although I don't think that's neccesary. It works like a charm if I execute the script from a user-shell. The problem is that it doesn't work from rc.local and I can't figure out why. I tried to add /usr/bin/touch /tmp/test to rc.local and that also didn't work which made me suspect that only programs from /bin and /sbin are allowed to be run. At the same time a Sparc-user informed me it works perfectly for him. I am running OpenBSD 4.0 stable on i386. Could this have something to do with sendmail having a warmup-time? I tried adding a sleep 30 before the line rc.local and that didn't help. Does anybody have an idea what I am overlooking? Ivo van der Sangen
