Re: pppoe(4) outage on Swisscom DSL lines since yesterday
As I say in my second post I have no access and am not on site. The modems were delivered less than a month ago, they work when non-bridged, and until they migrated their PPPoE server last night, the pppoe links from the OpenBSD boxes were running fine for the past few weeks. I'm somewhat surprised that no one else here has been bitten by this (and yes I have explained that running up-to-date systems is good practice). mike On Tue, Jul 14, 2009 at 6:53 PM, Claudio Jeker wrote: > > Did you check that the bridges are actually correctly synced?

pppoe(4) outage on Swisscom DSL lines since yesterday
Hi, I have several systems (4.2) running over bridged modems which can no longer connect to the service provider's PPPOE servers since last night. They seem to be stuck at the PADI step (1045 retries and counting. As the version number indicates, the system has been in place for quite a while although we switched from symmetrical to assymetrical DSL a few weeks ago without issues. Unfortunately, we had to reconfigure the modems to do the pppoe authentication this morning and I am currently without access. Anyone experiencing anything similar? Thanks, Mike
Re: PC Camera?
Sure, I wasn't really thinking of bktr, which as I understand is a video capture card and as such has onboard electronics for image processing. Evidently, this in combo with a normal cam is the best in terms of resolution/low cpu load. I was aiming more for the post comparing 40$ usb webcam/100$ ip webcam and the original poster wanting simple surveillance. Ok, if you have a project where you need a 100 of the little buggers, you can probably find a decent one at an ok price and write a driver. For a one-off, the stuff that retails at 20$ in your local store is most probably a piece of crap. So IMO an ip cam and push/pull to your box makes more sense, and basically you do not want to do audio/video over the usb bus, ever. mike On Tue, Mar 25, 2008 at 11:49 PM, Jacob Meuser <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I bet, to get the same resolution from an IP cam, I would be > using more resources. either a much higher network load (always > some network load ...), or cpu load to decompress the video. > of course, raw frames suck as far as storage/transmission is > concerned.
Re: PC Camera?
I guess for security monitoring stuff, having a decent driver for a decent webcam would be nice. However, with the current trend to offload all peripheral processing onto the host CPU this can be a mixed blessing. For example, in '96 with a BW Quickcam my PC hardly broke sweat for videoconfrencing, fast forward 12 years and I can easily crash my dual-core AMD laptop by using its integrated webcam (CPU temp exceeds BIOS limits) under both linux and windows. Go figure. For that matter, if you read a bit about v4l supported devices, it does seem to be the habitual jungle, different chipsets in same models etc. For any serious application, I'd go with dedicated ip cams, at least it doesn't put additional load on your server. mike
vpn altq voip question
Hi, I have a three site vpn on 4.2 with a voip enabled PBX on each lan, linked with SDSL lines. This works as expected. However, I need to prioritize the PBX to PBX traffic, they have fixed lan IPs, and am looking for pointers on the best way to accomplish this. After reading the docs, I am not quite clear on how to classify and queue the vpn traffic, so if anyone has advice or links to docs or sample pf.confs, it would be much appreciated, as testing on a live system is a bit hazardous. cheers, mike
Re: low-MHz server
Personally, I would look into industrial-grade i386 SBCs. Old server systems will suck juice, have non-standard weird bits and odds (old Macs are a great example for RAM) and although I readily admit to knowing next to nothing about EM shielding, it would seem easier to shield properly a small box than a sprawling monstrosity. You can still get i386 systems at or below 200MHz from a bit of googling: http://www.advantech.gr/products/Model.asp-Category_ID=1-239XES&BU=ECG&PD=.htm or if you are feeling slightly more adventurous than i386 you might check OpenBSD/landisk or armish supported kit, although that might be a bit tight for python. anyway, hope you can find a good solution. mike

See, the funny thing is I had a lenient attitude towards the GPL, FSF, RMS before. Live and let live, and they're fighting for freedom so it's ok. Thank you for opening my eyes. The fact is that slander sticks, there is an agenda behind continuously repeating the nonsense that OpenBSD somehow promotes non-free software. mike

Here we go again, there is no cult, get over it. I'm speaking for myself, as a lowly user. Theo doesn't need me to fight his corner, I'm just fighting mine, as probably most of the people on this list, although I wouldn't know as we don't communally bask in the shining glory of Our One True Leader. There's actually no "we" per se, from my viewpoint here. I happen to use OpenBSD, firstly because it works, secondly because it works and thirdly because the project doesn't try to shove self-serving incoherent crap down my throat the whole time. Oh and it also happens to coincide with my beliefs on things like freedom, but then again I don't think a bunch of raving extremist nutters could code a working OS. It takes a fair amount of rational thinking. Nah, I'm not descending to your level. Here's a brand new shovel. You sweat and dig your own hole. mike

No one has control of their own life. Why? Because in a society we are not separate from others. By definition. We enter, or rather are entered at birth, into a social contract which includes us, the government and other members of that society. > In > other words, a society in which non-free software more or less doesn't > exist. And there you go denying non-free software, by your definition, the very right to exist. How free is that? Perhaps we should tar up all the non-free software in the world and untar it in a data-crypt on a remote island where the murky odour of its tainted code does not attack our refined sensibilities? Is that acceptable on the road to a free, by your definition, society? You use a lot of grand words: good, evil, freedom, but seem unaware of the logical conclusions of your own thinking, or for that matter, the several millenia of debate surrounding these concepts. If I take your words at face-value I must conclude that you are either seriously misguided or downright dangerous. In any case, you do not stand for any definition of freedom that I could ever subscribe to. But I would actually like to thank you for having made this clear to me. michael
Re: Real men don't attack straw men
Mine is more free than yours is usually a pointless discussion, even more so when the participants cannot even agree on the definition of free. Stallman conveniently omits the fact that his definition of free was, is and will be at odds with that of a significant portion of the free software community. It logically follows that so too will his definition of non-free. If a few millenia of written debate have failed to come up with an unambiguous definition accepted by all, I sincerely doubt this thread will. But hey, whatever, the "Theo is unfriendly" quote is pretty priceless in itself.
Re: Skype on the OpenBSD
Ok, fair enough. I just went through their feature list on the site, my two cents are it should be on by default. I'm not saying anything bad about it though, as I haven't used it. My point still stands though, ultimately the weakest links in any such app will probably be the username/password that you entrust for storage to some entity upon signup, the actual protocol design and implementation of the crypto on the messaging backbone, and depending on that the physical security of the machines involved anywhere along the line. I just don't see why I should *de facto* trust Wengo more than I trust Skype just because they open-sourced their app. That doesn't mean it's either well designed or implemented or that they won't divulge my login details under duress. It's just silly gnuism saying open source is the answer to everything. mike

Re: detecting bad disks
try a new IDE cable or if you can take the system offline, and
assuming you can boot off cd/floppy I would suggest trying MHDD from
http://hddguru.com/ it does some pretty nice low-level diagnostics.
I've fixed some disks with this {crosses fingers}
docs are very basic but there's more info on the forum
http://forum.hddguru.com/?sid=9996c0fa3656ff12a72b5227b745a49b.
floppy and cd .iso here
http://hddguru.com/content/en/software/2006.02.10-Magic-Boot-Disk/
of course, be aware of what you're doing with these tools.

I certainly did not dd any sectors around. I can send you my grub conf when I reboot next. mike

Re: Managed UPS on OpenBSD
djgoku wrote: First I would add NUT from packages, then follow: http://www.networkupstools.org/doc/2.0.0/INSTALL.html This should go through mostly everything you need to configure NUT to work with your UPS. I have this one: APC BACK-UPS 350. Although listed by my supplier as available both in USB and Serial versions, it's USB cabling only and comes with a US gift certificate for the serial cable, although when asked APC Europe sent me one rather quickly. The 500 is, I suspect, the same with a larger battery. However, this week I backported nut 2.0.3 for this box to try and get it up and running. It seems hidups/newhidups is linux only or at least not built on OpenBSD and is the necessary driver for this :( At least I can't get any communication with it, although I can't really check my cabling as I'm 2000km away. mike

Re: EPIA issues...
hw.sensors.9=viaenv0, VSENS4, volts_dc, 12.07 V the top temp. I have seen for TSENS2 is 60.60 degC. Does anyone else run a box similar to this? Does anyone know of any big advantages of Soekris boxes rather than EPIA? I've got a feeling the little box will just give up or even worse blow up. hi, I have a few m1's running fine with fans. IIRC, VIA for some reason dropped CPU temp from their last BIOS revisions. Go figure. I did some testing running it fanless with a larger heatsink (Zalman VGA originally) and it would get flaky above ~66 C with random hangs and reboots, so I stopped that. This is from memory. This would also depend in part on your case and power supply. Things you can try: - get a quieter fan, the original one is pretty crap. - get a larger heatsink, possibly voiding your warranty. - get a zalman fan mate (or similar) it goes between your fan and mainboard and allows fan speed to be regulated with a knob. A little airflow as opposed to none can make a big difference. you can check out the various projects on say mini-itx.com to get an idea how far people have pushed these boards. mike
Re: Hardware RAID
Karl Kopp wrote: Hi Jason, Like yr idea - LOTS :) We may still use a disk for some logs, but if that goes, no big deal! Any idea how to mount a CF as a boot device? Quick search on Google didn't bring much back of interest. Is their a faq / how-to? Also, what kinds of CF adapters work - anything I should be looking out for? I checked on the amd64 page on OpenBSD and it didn't specifically mention anything about CF devices. Any advice would be greatly appreciated :) Cheers, Karl http://www.pcengines.ch makes IDE CF adapters powered through either a HD or floppy connector, I have a few of these which seem to work well. You can get a reseller list from the website shop. It's pretty straightforward to set up a full OBSD system, just use mfs for var and temp. (from memory, for 3.6 there was a small change to make to rc to avoid double-mounted partitions, I'm not sure it's still necessary) this short doc outlines the install on CF: http://www.kaschwig.net/projects/openbsd/wrap/ cheers, mike
Re: IDE RAID5
Steve Shockley wrote: Thorsten Glaser wrote: (How about Microsoft NT and Linux, which also do software RAID? I'm 90% sure that NT mirrors can be moved to different hardware, as long as the disk geometry stays the same. I'm less sure about Raid 5, but in theory it should work as well. Of course, even moving a single IDE disk may or may not work, depending on how your controller drivers are configured. (There's a KB article on this.) I would say that probably depends a lot on the partinioning, if you have a single monolithic partition, you might be ok. If like me you like to make a lot of smaller partitions on a large disk, you're fscked. In the first case it will bite you anyway at some point. I doubt mirroring changes anything. Disk geom will depend on bios anyway and there's no way you can be sure it will remain the same. At least W2k has a very serious problem with reshuffling the disk partition names when moved from box to box, or even on the same box on a different channel, hell even on the same damn channel if you reinstall... I've done this a lot and it kills all your paths when you make sample based audio for example. To the best of my knowledge this was *never* addressed, I doubt XP did anything to that effect.

In fact, if you are after balance, you will want about 1G of RAM, that won't be fun on that system, I suspect. Nick, the FAQ which you refer to mentions 1M per 1G of storage, so that's not really 1G of RAM for this system, is it? or is there a reason I'm missing? I am curious as I have a number of lower-end file-serving systems with 200G - 500G and usually 256M RAM and have never been bit by a fsck slowdown, even rebuilding raidframe parity is tolerable. Granted I have partitions usually smaller than 50G and a system partition smaller than 10G in most cases. Is this the difference? mike
