geom network driver times out on sparc 4.2?
ANECDOTALLY, network driver geom times out under moderate steady load on a Sun Blade 150 within an hour of use. (as in network stops working, everything else is ok, and dmesg says "geom0: device timeout" about every 30 seconds; and reboot fixes it) Haven't seen the problem yet under Linux. Have seen it multiple times under OpenBSD 4.2. The machine was able to be up for days no problem busy with cd /usr/ports/x11/kde && sudo make, so generally all else is well. I will try 4.3 soon. I know this is poor problem report. It's about all I have. I can do my work equally well for now under any BSD or Linux so punting is ok for me.

Re: geom network driver times out on sparc 4.2?
I have no idea. OBP = "on board PROM"? I'll research this, but not right away. Anecdotally, Linux is running well, been up for a few days, with the same sort of scenarios I was attempting in OpenBSD, just a bunch of ssh/scp/cvs/gcc/ld. Is it possible OpenBSD is sensitive to having the latest OBP and Linux is not? Yes. Is it possible for OpenBSD to lose this sensitivity and work as well as Linux, in this regard? (Far be it for me to suggest that OpenBSD does not work better than Linux in general. I do appreciate the OpenBSD attitude, like the web page with reasons to build your own kernel, every single reason starts with the same discouragement. :) ) In this case, Linux == Ubuntu 7.10.

SPARC32 == SPARC32on64?
I'm porting some oddball software, and trying to get "every" platform, if I have hardware, and getting more hardware (but not a lot). So, regarding SPARC, my quick understanding is that: OpenBSD has separate "pure" SPARC and SPARC64. On SPARC64, gcc accepts -m32 and -m64 (I think), defaults to -m64, usermode is "all" 64bit. Linux has just SPARC, runs on either hardware, usermode is mostly 32bit, gcc accepts -m32 and -m64, defaults to -m32. So now, I'm going to have roughly the following ports:SPARC32_LINUX (already working)SPARC64_LINUX SPARC32_OPENBSD SPARC64_OPENBSD (and more NetBSD, OpenBSD, etc.) In the Linux case, this is two sets of binaries that run on one OS.Folks might chose 32 perhaps for size or speed or interop withcode that hasn't been ported to 64, whatever. So my question then is...well, you see, I only have SPARC64 hardwareand am unlikely to install SPARC32, though maybe.More so, I'm unlikely to acquire SPARC32 hardware, unless SPARC64can run SPARC32? So my question is, do OpenBSD/sparc binaries run on OpenBSD/sparc64?Do binaries built on OpenBSD/sparc64 with -m32 run on OpenBSD/sparc?And are they the same? That is, if I wanted a complete matrix, is: SPARC32_OPENBSD SPARC64_OPENBSD complete, or is there reallySPARC32on32_OPENBSDSPARC32on64_OPENBSD SPARC64_OPENBSD or even more? (64 on 32?) http://www.openbsd.org/sparc.html http://www.openbsd.org/sparc64.html appear to list different machines, so that answers part of my question. sparc won't run on my sparc64 machine. If SPARC32 == SPARC32on64, I'll just do those two. If SPARC32 != SPARC32on64, I'll probably just do SPARC64. Thanks, - Jay

Re: geom network driver times out on sparc 4.2?
I gets a little more interesting..Linux/sparc was working fine for a few days.Now it seems, merely plugging this machine into the network makes thenetwork barely work -- very slow, connections dropped. Even ifI'm just sitting in various installers. Plugging in the wired on board ethernet. apt-get upgrade left Linux failing to boot.Solaris 9 install fails very early, something about newfs failing.I really tried a bunch of manual parameters, besides that itis run automatically.I think 10 is in the mail. (I have 10 onDVD but so far only a CD drive on the machine). I think it's something about the disklabel/partition left by either OpenBSD or Linux. I'm not sure how to get the OBP to the machine, since I can't install Solaris. Not sure the others will do. Let alone the possible need to open it up to enable writing. So, anyway, for now, I have wireless working and am back in OpenBSD.It's a little unfortunate because the Linux stuff was about a third done, now I'll try to complete OpenBSD before going back to Linux to finish. I was surprised how easy wireless was to get working.Granted I had to use the command line and read the man page, butgiven that, not bad. I'm going to try no X on the machine, just ssh. :)Of course, all my file editing will be on Windows and I'll scp files over.Or maybe try NFS or Samba.. Oh, and the OBP is definitely out of date. It's like version 4.6.5 from 2002, when they are up to like 4.10 or so fro 2005. Oh, also, a little complaint about OpenBSD installer. Solaris 9 installer pushes you to have swap first. So then with that in mind, i did that for OpenBSD. But OpenBSD defaults to installing to the first partition, and doesn't let you change that, so with 512meg, 10gig / after it, setup runs out of room installing to swap. Fixed by taking the default disklabel and using a for add and going more with its defaults, instead of what Solaris wanted. For once, I want more manual override..or for setup to notice..and maybe guess there isn't enough space... - Jay $ dmesgconsole is keyboard/displayCopyright (c) 1982, 1986, 1989, 1991, 1993 The Regents of the University of California.

Re: geom network driver times out on sparc 4.2?
My OBP is definitely out of date, but I haven't yet been able to fix that. I'm not sure if it requires installing Solaris (which file systems can OB access?), which I've been unable to do, and I'm not sure if it requires cracking open the machine, which I am reluctant to do, but might do. Someone did tell me they see this in "current", however I finally noticed this promising note: http://www.openbsd.org/plus43.html Changes made between OpenBSD 4.2 and OpenBSD 4.3: >> Fixed watchdog timeouts on gem(4).

Re: geom network driver times out on sparc 4.2?
I don't think that is it, but I will try, thank you. I'm pretty sure the label that OpenBSD and/or Ubuntu left me with is a Solaris type. And dumb me, I didn't consider OBP as helping the install too. So the questions remain if I can install OBP without Solaris, and if I'll have to crack open the case. I'll see... The error from setup is like "newfs failed". If I run newfs manually, ALMOST no matter I try, it always seems to tell me my numbers are wrong. I've tried various -f and -i values. But I did find some that worked, but then I guess setup still wants to re-newfs it and gets it wrong. Setup doesn't show the whole message but I assume it is using the wrong numbers or something.

Re: geom network driver times out on sparc 4.2?
Awesome, thanks! Normally I would have said "I have never netbooted; it seems too hard to setup" but those look like great instructions. And I was almost right in my paranoia about needing Solaris. I still wonder though -- if OpenBSD's UFS is the same format as Solaris's, or if OpenBSD can create a Solaris format of file system, then I think OpenBoot can read the files. And if not, not. I think. Mitigating factors: I got 4.3 in the mail that supposedly fixes this. The wireless networking is working fine. The OPB isn't even known to fix this, but hopefully.

Re: geom network driver times out on sparc 4.2?
well, of course OB can read the file system.It loads the kernel after all.The instructions are encouraging: OB> boot disk /flash-update Cool, like, the flash-update is a kernel?Well, not that, but a program runnable as if it is a kernel? But it looks like "the OS", er, the OS installer, is between OB and the kernel;Specifically there are some "boot blocks" installed by the OS, and the OpenBSD ones don't recognize the file format of the flash-update.

Re: geom network driver times out on sparc 4.2?
Agreed. "something" is "boot blocks" and they are "installed" by "the OS". The flash-update is a 32bit ELF file and I imagine the OpenBSD/sparc64 boot blocks only like 64bit ELF. (Per my other unrelated question -- I was wrong, OpenBSD/sparc64 is pure 64 bit, gcc -m32 doesn't "work" (from a certain point of view, yes I realize it does exactly what it is meant to do, and it is arguably superior this way, rather than open a can of worms as to just what is "the architecture" of "the OS", some hard to pin down hybrid, or simply only SPARC64.) It is probably possible and not difficult to temporarily install the Solaris boot blocks (such as from the environment booting the Solaris install CD gives you), boot the flash-update, and then put back the OpenBSD boot blocks. I haven't really tried yet. It might even be possible, like, to say boot cdrom /blahblah/ or boot floppy /blahblahblah where /blahblahblah is, you know, normally just like bsd or /update-flash, the kernel or the program to run, relative to the device, but maybe you can use a "device path" there at the start and have the boot blocks on one device read the "kernel" (or rather update-flash) from another device. The flash-update is also 1.4something meg in size, which I thought therefore might fit on a floppy and be bootable completely from there, but I didn't have luck with that. The floppy drive wasn't working from OpenBSD and the floppy I produced on NT doesn't work. The size is maybe just a coincidence, and heck maybe I misread the number of digits, it was 14. I was too lazy to determine the actual value of 1.44meg -- LAZY of me, so easy to have done... I'll experiment later. I blew away my Linux/macppc and started OpenBSD/macppc install so I can try the netboot (which is something I want to try anyway). I know those directions aren't specific to macppc, or even OpenBSD, but I have no other OpenBSD machines currently, the Mac was a good candidate, and I might as well not risk Linux or MacOSX varying in an area I'm not confident in. btw, those instructions were good, but the man page looks quite good as well, maybe identical.

Re: geom network driver times out on sparc 4.2?
Ugh, this is not so easy. First of all, I am able to write the Solaris and OpenBSD bootblocks.I could not find any documentation on saving/restoring them, butI could find how to set them to a specified set. It's not difficult. You boot the Solaris CD and like/blah/installboot /blah/`uname -i`/blah/bootblk blah And when you are done, to get OpenBSD back, boot the openBSD CD and like: mount /dev/wd0 /mnt /mnt/mdec/blah/installboot /mnt/mdec/bootblk /dev/rwd0 Actually I got an error so out of paranoia I did more like: mount /dev/wd0 /mnt cp /mnt/mdec/blah/* /tmp umount /mnt /tmp/installboot /tmp/bootblk /dev/rwd0 It took me a little while to find the OpenBSD installboot, buried in "mdec" instead of any of /usr/bin, /usr/sbin, /bin, /sbin..even thought to check /stand. (damn there are too many of these directories! I know people like to fragment up their hard drives into multiple partitions in order to make it harder to decide how large to make the partitions, and so then there is /bin and /usr/bin, but must we have sbin too?, and on a single partition system, can't they all just be in /bin and /usr/bin a symlink to /bin, and on a multi partition system, put them where they are "needed" and then fill the others with symlinks? I realize that's wasteful of storage and $path search...I know these are not great suggestions, but I do often wish it was all just in /bin.) find is not present in the shell when you boot the OpenBSD CD, and the one in /mnt/blah crashes. All that, and the Solaris boot blocks won't boot the flash updater either. They say something like "file just loaded does not appear to be an executable" or somesuch. This is surprising to me. I really thought this would work. Ok, so let's try the net boot approach. Well, there's a step "edit /etc/hosts in the usual way". The usual way? I always use dhcp. The usual way is not at all. So I tried my usual way.. At first I forgot to switch the Sun back from wireless to wired. After some timeout, it sort of proceeded, to the next level of recieving nothing. Ok, switch it to wired. Remember the MAC address changes (since I had gotten it from my router/dhcpd instead of .enet-addr, it was that of the wireless). It is timing out indefinitely. At least that gives me a chance to fix the tftp server. Over on the tftp server I get: warning: cannot find jay-sun1 on 192.168.2.0, or maybe the other way around. I don't know where this .0 came from. I relented then and edited /etc/hosts. First I used a 192.168 range. But then I wonder, hm, maybe that conflicts with the dhcp on the router? Maybe I should use a 10.* or such number. So I tried that. I still get the warning about 192.168.2.0, and the Sun is still just sitting timing out. I don't know where this address is coming from. Maybe it is a reference to a "group" or "mask" of addresses -- 192.168.2.*? I have run pkill -1 inetd after every edit. So maybe I should reboot. Well, it's a newly installed slow machine, I had tar xfz ports,src,xenocara.tgz running. Kill those before rebooting. mv away /usr/src, /usr/ports to /usr/delete so I will delete them after the reboot. This triggers the not as dead as I meant tar to spew warning after warning after warning unable to set file times, to a slow console (MacPPC G3 iBook). There seems to be no way for me to stop it. My router shows no IP address -- I'd ssh in. Can't control-c or fg/control-c, it's "detatched", stupid me. It's still going. I'll leave it go and then try again later. ok, i finally finished. Ugh. Flashing the BIOS is a big pain.

"something" is "boot blocks" and they are "installed" by "the OS".The flash-update is a 32bit ELF file and I imagine the OpenBSD/sparc64 boot blocks only like 64bit ELF. (Per my other unrelated question -- I was wrong, OpenBSD/sparc64 is pure 64 bit, gcc -m32 doesn't "work" (from a certain point of view, yes I realize it does exactly what it is meant to do, and it is arguably superior this way, rather than open a can of worms as to just what is "the architecture" of "the OS", some hard to pin down hybrid, or simply only SPARC64.) It is probably possible and not difficult to temporarily install the Solaris boot blocks (such as from the environment booting the Solaris install CD gives you), boot the flash-update, and then put back the OpenBSD boot blocks. I haven't really tried yet. It might even be possible, like, to say boot cdrom
Re: geom network driver times out on sparc 4.2?
Ok, much progress. I got to the point where it boots the flash update and I believe I have to fix the jumper now. Here are some tricks.If you read the footnote of the instructions, you realize that RARPD and DHCP are applesand apples. You must pick just one. And it isn't up to you. It is how the Sun boots. So, extreme measure: Take both machines off the main network. No more dhcp, temporarily. Run one cable between them. No more wireless, temporarily. edit /etc/hostname.if (hostname.gem0 for me) on the rarpd/tftpd server to give it a static address I used 10.0.0.1 -- right from the start of "man hostname.if" edit /etc/hosts as instructed, I usd 10.0.0.2. I'm not sure how you "really" set up network booting. This can't be it.I know more modern systems to have dhcp in the boot environment. That should help completely. This got me to the point of rarpd sending a reply and then the Sun waiting and telling meto double check the tftpd server. Now, I varied a few things flailing around, but I think the main one wasthat the files in /tftpboot should be named in all caps. I also killed and restarted inetd, not just -1 (sighup), but that's probably not needed. I also ran inetd -d and it reported starting tftpd and then shortly after reaping it.If I ran tftpd under gdb, it exited with 1 after a short run.I was considering building it from source and debugging, but I haven't built OpenBSD yet.I THINK it was the CAPS in the file names, but not sure.

Re: geom network driver times out on sparc 4.2?
Ok! It is done. I think there might be a reasonable "bug" or "feature request" here to enable the OpenBSD/sparc64 bootblk to be able to boot the flash updates, like if it is "just" a matter of supporting ELF32 or something. But I don't know. Solaris still won't install. It actually got worse, before the OBP update. Solaris setup had brought up X, now it fails to. The machine came with Solaris, but when it booted, and went graphical, the LCD couldn't keep up.. Oh well. - Jay From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]: [EMAIL PROTECTED]: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]: RE: geom network driver times out on sparc 4.2?Date: Sat, 17 May 2008 18:56:38 + Ok, much progress.I got to the point where it boots the flash update and I believe I have to fix the jumper now.
port/package messages about manual optional configuration?
The "important" messages from installing packages/ports. There is something I have noticed in various package/port systems, including OpenBSD, Debian, and more. Here is an example: $ sudo pkg_add python--- python-2.5.2 ---If you want to use this package as your default system python, as rootcreate symbolic links like so (overwriting any previous default): ln -sf /usr/local/bin/python2.5 /usr/local/bin/python ln -sf /usr/local/bin/pydoc2.5 /usr/local/bin/pydoc Now, in this case, I have installed just one package, interactively, so the point is mostly moot.But for the scenario of installing something with dependencies, something that takes a while,where I walk away and come back much later, these "important" messages, these messages aboutoptional manual configuration, should be collected somewhere for my perusal. Maybe they already are? Thanks, - Jay
possible setup "bug" -- chose of default "a" partition can be wrong like if it is swap
If I have my "a" slice/partition is a "small" swap partition and my "c" slice is a "large" BSD partition, setup should install to "c". Or at least maybe prompt. Usually I want fewer prompts/questions, but.. I ran into this problem because Solaris setup encourages the swap partition/slice to be first. Luckily "a" filled up during setup and not later, so damage/pain was minimized. I realize the defaults in the install and the directions have you create the BSD slice/partition as "a" so if you ignore Solaris you tend to get it right. Any chance ever of a "swap file" instead of a "swap partition/slice"? I'm sure this isn't a good "bug report", and debatable, so misc... - Jay
Re: possible setup "bug" -- chose of default "a" partition can be wrong like if it is swap
Ben, I did mix up which letter is which. I didn't mean to violate which one is the entire drive. I was going from memory. That wasn't the point. Yes, the first time I installed, I took the defaults, and it worked. Then I tried to install Solaris. Then with that in recent memory, I tried to be like it. I know multiple partitions/slices/labels are encouraged, but the docs also say one is ok, and I really don't like to "fragment" stuff like this. I don't want to have to decide how much space I need for everything, and then have it be very difficult to change later. Granted, lately I'm wanting to share something, like maybe /home, across multiple operating systems. I didn't google for swap file, admitted. I don't really care if the swap partition is at the start, I was just following what Solaris had encouraged. As for it being "tiny", well, yeah, with 512meg, 1gig, and more physical memory, I don't see why swap should be much, certainly more than 512meg. - Jay > CC: misc@openbsd.org> From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: possible setup "bug" -- chose of default "a" partition can be wrong like if it is swap> Date: Sun, 18 May 2008 10:26:03 -0700> > > On May 18, 2008, at 8:54 AM, Jay wrote:> > you are making a lot of bad assumptions.> > > If I have my "a" slice/partition is a "small" swap partition and my > > "c" slice> > is a "large" BSD partition, setup should install to "c".> > you should not use c for anything. it's the whole disk.> > >> > Or at least maybe prompt.

That helps, thanks. How about though for the scenario where I just installed something, and all its dependencies, without knowing what they are?

Take a look at the revised man page on line (and presumably 3.7): A ccd may be either serially concatenated, interleaved, or mirrored. To serially concatenate partitions, specify an interleave factor of 0. Mir- roring configurations require an even number of components. It still won't provide all of the configurations of RAID(4), but it'll do simple mirroring. --jay

And you can't use the online docs when the damn thing won't boot. In my mind there are two kinds of docs, or at least two scenerios where docs are important: 1) when you're reading the docs to learn how to do something new or remember how to do something you've forgotten, and 2) when you're trying to fix something that's gone horribly wrong, usually as a result of #1. Online docs are fine for #1, but paper certainly has its place when staring down #2. Personally, the first thing I do when messing around with something new and potentially destructive is print up a hard copy of the docs. As for the install procedure, I think it's pretty straight forward where its indented audience is concerned. The upgrade procedure can be a little less friendly, but by the time you get around to upgrading, you've learned to RTFM. --j

I can speak for Mike, but I'd say "both". In order to give your users a useable system, you'd have to compy almost everything into the jail, which would mean maintaining two version of everything. And at the end of the day, what have you gained? Look at it this way: assuming you have any reasonable hardware policy, any system that a user logs on to with a graphical interface exists primarily to run user applications--Joe L'User shouldn't be running a KDE session on any of your file, internet, mail, database, etc. servers. So anything that would make a workstation/X server usable would need to be chrooted. If it wouldn't need to be chrooted so the users have access, why have it on that machine at all? Once you realize that, you realize that, given the purpose of workstations and X servers, if anything happens inside the jail, it's just as bad as if it had happened outside the jail: you'll just as big a mess on your hands, because *everything important*--executables, spool files, password files, log files, all of it--will have to be in the jail. and if it goes, you will have lost the system for all practical purposes just as effectively as if the jail weren't in place. chrooting is a technique to protect leaky programs from remote attacks; OpenBSD provides other tools--file permissions, file system flags, etc.--to protect against locl exploits. Use the appropriate tools for the job. The kinds of attacks you're talking about--bad emails, trojan web pages, etc. may seem like remote attacks, but from an OS standpoint, they're really not: they originate someplace else, but they trick users into doing something locally, and they need to be treated as such. -- jay daggerquill [at] gmail [dot] com http://www.engatiki.org
ping No buffer space available - Solved (?)
One of my servers started having problems after it had been stable for about 10 months. Communications in/out of the box would just stop or the machine would crash. We were able to log in at the console. A ping command returned the error message "no buffer space available." I searched the list archives and found a few references to this error message along with some suggestions, but nothing that ever said what fixed the problem. We may have fixed this problem on our box so here is what we did in the hopes that it may help someone else if they run into this problem. Our box was running OpenBSD 3.6 with most of the patches installed. After a crash one day and communications getting stuck the next (/etc/netstart got the network back running again, btw), I installed all patches that were TCP related or could have been somehow related to the problem. I rebuilt the kernel (generic) and rebooted. A few days later the machine hung up again. There was an on-board NIC and a PCI NIC installed in the box and they were sharind an interrupt which one of the postings I read said was a bad idea. Disabled the on-board sound and on-board NIC in the BIOS so that there were no shared interrupts. The next day the machine hung up again and /etc/netstart got the network working again. After some discussion we removed the PCI NIC card and enabled the on-board NIC card and changed hostname.xxx to match the on-board nic card. That was on July 5, 2005 and the system has been stable for the last ten days. We are hopeful that the problem was a bad NIC card. Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Forwarding roots mail to another account , seperate email server
I am using openbsd 4.0. I have a standard non-X install, setup as a router/firewall NATing several boxes. I am port forwarding 25 and 80 to a single box behind the firewall. So, I do not have sendmail per se running on the openbsd box, but local mail is working. Not sure I have the proper terminiology here. Regardless, I can't seem to get mail forwarding working. The two main openbsd books say all I need to do is create a .forwarding file and give the name of the email address to forward to, but for two months not one email was forwarded. So, at a minimum, what do I need to do in order to get the email delivered from root, to another account on my email server sitting behind the firewall? Jay

004_pf.patch path not correct for 4.2
I see that there is some problem trying to apply patch 004 (the pf patch) under 4.2. Looks like there was some discussion late in Mov 07 about fixing the patch to correct for wrong path / missing directory tree in the patch. I've updated the index line (changed it from sys to src, but I still can't apply the patch. What other trick do i need to do to get this patch applied? TIA, Jay

I was able to apply the patch after I installed the sys.tar.gz file, which I think caused my problem, but I also modified the index line from sys to src. I've now moved on and am patching the last of the files now. BTW, since I don't have X installed (other than xbase42.tgz), I think I can safely skip the 006_xorg patch. Do you agree?

changing bash prompt escape sequences
I use bash as my shell. I'm trying to set the bash prompt to display: ttyC1 [EMAIL PROTECTED] I've created a .bashrc in the users home directory (in this case root), and used the following line: PS1="\l [EMAIL PROTECTED] #" When I login as root, or any other user for that matter, the default prompt is: -bash-3.2# the only way so far that I found to change the prompt is to type 'bash' at the prompt after login. This is ok, but I know that this should work the first time I login, without having to issue a standalone command. I've come to the conclusion that I need to modify another file within the /etc directory, but what? TIA, Jay

Re: kernel naming proposal
While I have no stake in this issue, I think as a user /bsd and /bsd.mp are fine. As a new user, I have to determine what the diff is between /bsd and /bsd.mp now, and if it was changed to /bsd.up and /bsd.mp, I'd still have to determine which was which. Am I missing something?

Can you use the following: Not sure what the model number is, guess it's the number that looks like the serial number.

I beg your pardon, but I have been running a VIA based mini-itx box for over a year now, and except for some initial case fan problems, it is ROCK FCSKING SOLID. I have the following board Migrus C787-1.5G D3N-P I also have another system with the same board minus the ethernet daughter card, it also had crappy case fans which I replaced, and it has been solid for over a year as well.

They were really good at first, they helped me track down a bad Ethernet card (in their box) that was giving us problems. Fortunately they had two in the box and it was easy to switch to the other card. In the past year they kept having "router problems" with no end of excuses. After a 12+ hour power outage we had it and went elsewhere. Elsewhere does not support OpenBSD though.

Hi, Try seamonkey and chrome see if you are getting same result or they are working smooth? also check with ulimit .. otherwise midori is good alternative.

ddclient won't auto run on OpenBSD 5.8
Recently updated a router from 5.2 to 5.8. I had a working ddclient process connected to and fully working with DynDNS. Trying to use same config, may have to tweak just a bit. My main issue right now is trying to get the ddclient process to run upon booting. In 5.2, I had the following script in rc.local if [ -x /usr/local/sbin/ddclient ] ; then echo -n ' ddclient' /usr/local/sbin/ddclient -file /etc/ddclient/ddclient.conf fi This ran ddclient upon startup. I've tried the same thing in rc.conf.local with no joy, it won't start. I also commented that out and tried ddclient = "" and also ddclient = "-file /etc/ddclient/ddclient.conf" Upon every reboot ddclient is not running per a 'ps aux |grep dd' command. Not is there a pid file in /var/run ddclient will start manually. Looking for some guidance on getting this running please.

Verizon FIOS, OpenBSD, and DHCP
Good evening. I am trying to replace the Verizon FIOS Actiontec router with a OpenBSD 5.2 box, and move from COAX to Cat5e at the same time. I've read the documentation for configuring dhcp/dhclient. I've set the external interface to "dhcp". I have a solid green link light on the interface (re0). When I attempted to cutover (Verizon reset the ONT, and I rebooted the box). I received the following feedback: DHCPDISCOVER on re0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 3 DHCPDISCOVER on re0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 7 DHCPDISCOVER on re0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 9 DHCPDISCOVER on re0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 9 DHCPDISCOVER on re0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 21 DHCPDISCOVER on re0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 12 No DHCPOFFERS received. No working leases in persistent database - sleeping. I assumed the RJ-45 port was hot when it cutover. I now find that the COAX port is still hot (as the Actiontec router is still online) and therefore assume the cutover to RJ-45 was not done properly on their end. But I also wanted to know if a stock 5.2 distro work with FIOS and Cat5e or do I need to use ISC-dhcp somewhere in the process? Thanks in advance, Jay
Re: Verizon FIOS, OpenBSD, and DHCP
Solved this. It took Verizon three tries (three calls by me), to actually get the RJ-45 port working on the ONT.

I've run sysclean and removed over 280 files/directories. and have improved free space quite a bit, but still seem to think I've an issue with /usr. Right now I have a clean 6.2 base system, but still have the source code tree installed for 6.1. Usually I just wipe /usr/src and /usr/obj, but I'm thinking I need to find a better way to manage /usr space. Can you instruct me a bit on what I should do with /usr (and all subdirectories) upon upgrading from one version to another. Here is my free space according to df after running sysclean and cleaning up those files/directories: Filesystem SizeUsed Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/wd0a 1005M 63.4M891M 7%/ /dev/wd0k 22.7G321M 21.3G 1%/home /dev/wd0d 3.9G 12.0K3.7G 0%/tmp /dev/wd0f 2.0G1.6G274M86%/usr /dev/wd0g 1005M183M771M19%/usr/X11R6 /dev/wd0h 6.8G 27.1M 6.4G 0%/usr/local /dev/wd0j 3.9G293M3.5G 8%/usr/obj /dev/wd0i 3.9G852M2.9G22%/usr/src /dev/wd0e 6.3G 28.1M6.0G 0%/var TIA, Jay

To help break this down a bit, I ran 'du -hs' on each subdirectory of /usr, and here is size breakdown: /usr/X11R6183M *separate partition /usr/bin 112M /usr/games2.0k /usr/include 25.5M /usr/lib 169M /usr/libdata 39.9M /usr/libexec 38.4M /usr/local27.1M *separate partition /usr/mdec 314k /usr/obj 293M *separate partition /usr/ports382M /usr/sbin 17.3M /usr/share231M /usr/src 852M *separate partition /usr/xenocara 657M /usr/xobj 3.1M Totaling everything that should be on the /usr partition, is just over 1.6GB. This seems to confirm df -h totals shown above. I have the 6.1 src, sys, ports, and xenocara gz files all untarred and installed. Again, thanks for your time. Jay

For reasons beyond my control and if I want to continue running my own email server, I need to change the MTU size to max of 1476. I ran "ifconfig re1 mtu 1476", and this command took, ifconfig reported mtu size of 1476. Re1 is setup using dhcp and I want to know how to make this (mtu size 1476) a permanent parameter upon rebooting. Thanks for your time, Jay

iked & CRL's
Anyone had any problems getting iked to adhere to revoked certificates? I can log in with a valid cert but can also log in using the same cert after it's been revoked using # ikectl ca vpn certificate xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx revoke . I tried restarting iked but it still behaved the same. Any suggestions would be appreciated. TIA
