Correct me if I am wrong.. But you can differentiate shaping of traffic of the 
same protocol if it has different Type Of Service. You can for example give 
higher priority to SSH shell and lower the priority of scp bulk file 
transfers as they have different TOS. Don't know if there exist anything like 
it for HTTP (don't think so). If it doesn't exist you probably have to find 
another way (not in PF).


Or you could have the ISO downloads from a different IP.
Maybe you should give ip aliasing a try (nice howto in the openbsd faq). 
 You could then have servers bind to these aliases, and then control 
how much bandwidth these aliases can use with pf or something.

Re: Anyone using a Asus K8N-VM or A8V-VM?

Hi,

just a quick question, anyone running OpenBSD/amd64 on an Asus A8N-VM or
A8V-VM motherboard? Things that work/don't work?

Thanks,

A8N-VM:

A8V-VM:

You might have problems with sound...I have an Asus K8V-SE with 
OpenBSD/amd64 (3.9) on it, and audio playback with the auvia(4) driver 
is horrible (lots of static, etc.).  But everything else seems to work.

Re: restarting DHCP not described in manpages

I read man dhcp and man dhclient and wasn't able to determine how to restart

My cable modem dies every other day.  After I reboot the modem, I just
ssh into my router and run dhclient on the interface.

`sudo dhclient dc0`

is this doable?

Doesn't ifconfig or something give you signal strength? xD

plate logos

2006-12-24 Thread Jim Capozzoli

I know they make stickers, but does anybody know where one could get
ahold of OpenBSD 1x1" plate logos?  If nobody makes them for OpenBSD,
that'd probably be a nice thing to have along side the release
stickers. :-)

Re: google spreadsheets and openbsd 3.9 + mozila-firefox from ports

I am trying to use google spreadsheets, but as soon as i access it my

change to have a confortable environment.

Did anybody already faced such scenario?

Thanks in advance.



The only lag I get on openbsd/amd64 (firefox-1.5.0.1 package) is when
I'm actually in a spreadsheet window. Otherwise, everything else runs
fine (I have a blank spreadsheet open in another tab right now).

Hello List!
We're trying to put an old server to good use again and would like to
know what's exactly the oldest machine running OpenBSD?


As machine we defined something with processor, ram, network, hard
disk and a connection to the internet. So no Newton or toaster (at
least not if there's no disk being toasted).


Thank you in advance,
Falk



I have a router using two dc(4) interfaces, running OpenBSD 3.9. It
has an Intel i586 75 MHz processor with a whole 16 megs of memory, and
a 4 gig hard drive. I remember I tried to use apache as a caching
proxy server once..yeah that didn't go so well. But if I'm lucky,
it'll only take around 30 seconds to login with SSH. :-D
