Re: Minimum viable HW for OpenBSD

I'm still playing with this kind of stuff.  Good luck on your journey, but
it will be a rough ride.  You already mentioned some issues.

I have/had a pair of Raspberry 3B and also a pair of Pine64 SBCs, running
OpenBSD 7.x and CARP failover for experimental things.  Working, but not as
reliable as I would like.

You seem to aim at even smaller boards like that, and newer ones should match
the specs of Raspi3B or Pine64.  However:

- there is no fine "sysupgrade" for these platforms, so you need to reinstall
  every time
- which means fiddling with non-OpenBSD "uboot" and EFI definition files
- consider creating a network boot infrastructure
- these devices are very sensitive to power voltage instabilities, triggering
  spontaneous reboots.  You may want to run them from stable USB power source
- I doubt this can be reasonably battery-powered, over longer time periods
- storage like SD-card or eMMS draw extra power during operation, writes may
  be unreliable during voltage drops
- storage like SD-card or eMMS will wear out and die hard, sooner or later
- Wifi hardware may not be supported
- RS232 serial usually provided (and working) by bus pinout, but you need to
  add a FTDI232 or CH340 adapter

That said, I'd like to hear about it if you find interesting hardware :)

I use an 8-port Moxa CP-168U PCI card, and a 4-port LINDY 42690 USB
connector to access serial consoles.  Both work without issues since
several releases.

Don't worry.  OpenBSDs ministry of defence considered dropping atomic bombs
over Australia in the past.  It's considered an acceptable way of CVS
conflict resolution.

So, maybe don't use loadable kernel modules at all?  Problem gone, nothing
to detect here.

I'm not a dev, but I do trust the devs handling that.

Regarding the rest of your reasoning, I think you are way off-track.  Linux
assumptions do not apply.

I have an edgerouter lite with this RJ45 serial port.  Works just fine with

Oh, I wanted to ask this for quite some time:

Can I create this volume header without an IRIX installation?

The disk in my O2 died, I have another SCA disk (from a Sun), wiped clean. 
And my old IRIX CDs have read errors, so I can't even install IRIX from 
scratch just to prepare the disk.

Any workarounds?

ThinkPad R60, no apm

[Olaf Schreck]

Hi,

I'm having a minor problem with apm and 4.2 snapshot on a Lenovo ThinkPad R60.

I noticed that "halt -p" does not power off.  I read reboot(8), and I have 
"powerdown=YES" in /etc/rc.shutdown.

It might be related to apm0 not being detected, dmesg below.  I also 
noticed the error/warning "apm: connect error" from the boot loader, before 
a kernel gets loaded.  Might be related.

Loading...
probing: pc0
apm: connect error
 mem[628k 3069M a20=on]
disk: hd0+
>> OpenBSD/i386 BOOT 3.01
boot> 

Kernel is "4.2 (GENERIC.MP) #234", snapshot was pulled today.  I did 
"enable acpi" with "config -ef /bsd.mp".  Same problem with 4.1-stable.

Maybe also related: In 4.2-snapshot "sysctl hw.setperf" does work, while 
4.1-stable would give me "sysctl: hw.setperf: value is not available".


Any clues to get apm working?

Thanks, Olaf

A bridge *interface* can have an IP address, though that's not a common

Won't work.  Although pflog does create pcap style output, it is not

USB MIDI fun - OpenBSD beats Windoze

[Olaf Schreck]

Hi,

I'm a hobbyist musician, and I recently bought this cheap keyboard (with 
MIDI) and a USB-MIDI adapter.  I wanted to use some MS-Windoze software, but 
I had zero success to get that USB-MIDI adapter recognized by my notebook's 
WinXP Home (-current).  Some googling told me several people had the same 
problem with this device.  Ok, crap, return to store.

Before returning it, and just for kicks, I decided to see what OpenBSD 
4.0-stable thinks of this device.  In a nutshell: it just works.

The device is branded "Swissonic MIDI-USB 1x1".  Here's a dmesg snippage 
(full dmesg below):

midi0 at pcppi0: 
umidi0 at uhub2 port 2 configuration 1 interface 0
umidi0: ? product 0x0011, rev 1.10/0.01, addr 2
umidi0: (genuine USB-MIDI)
umidi0: out=1, in=1
midi1 at umidi0: 

"apropos midi" told me about midiplay(1) in the core OS.  midiplay seems 
to recognize the USB device:

$ midiplay -l  
0: PC speaker
1: USB MIDI I/F

Looks promising.  I plugged the (WinXP-notwork) MIDI-jacks into the 
keyboard, and sure enough, it would play:

$ midiplay -d 1 Another_One_Bites_the_Dust.mid  
^C

Wow, that rocks :)  It "just works"(tm) in OpenBSD.  And the documentation 
is correct and to the point.  My hat is off to you..

Not supported by snort.  To get encrypted DB logging use stunnel, ssh or 
IPSec.

Apart from that it's a bad idea.  SQL logging from the snort process 
will create overhead that will slow down the detection engine to the 
point that it might miss packets.  Adding SSL to that would increase 
the overhead even more.

Look at barnyard for SQL logging from snort, and use any transport 
encryption method you prefer.

Do what you're told.  Create these environment variables.  Do

That's *wy* old, better compile 2.4.x from source.  If you do that, 
prepare to install automake-1.6 from source as well.

Are you running 3.7?  The snortsam pf plugin won't work on 3.7.  I have

That's from unified logging which is roughly pcap format.  The 24 bytes 
are similar to the pcap file header, i.e. it is an empty log file.

I use "ps auxww", the snort process should show up.  If it doesn't, 
you probably have configuration errors.  See also the -T flag (test mode).

I use barnyard for this.  You may want to change unified logging to 
syslog logging in order to see alerts in plaintext.

That's up to you and your app, there's no special mechanism.

I meant the whole records, not single lines.  Records are separated by 
blank lines.  Try to find the offending records and look at them more 
closely.

Cheap shot: spurious blank characters?

What do the entries before and after line 421 look like?
What happens when you comment out either one, or both?
What follows the record shown as "added" above?

I have asked this guy twice to stop spamming misc@, and I know of 
at least two other misc@ readers who did the same.

Apart from plain lies ("address has been deleted", "blocked from 
resubscribing", "double opt-in"), he keeps spamming, search the 
archives for "e-daf".

sched_get_priority_min() ?

[Olaf Schreck]

Hi,

I'm trying to build fprobe (NetFlow probe, http://fprobe.sourceforge.net/) 
on 3.7/i386, but linking bombs out with undefined references to 
sched_get_priority_{min,max}.

I see these declared in /usr/include/sched.h but I can't find the lib 
to link with.  Passing -lpthread doesn't help.  nm /usr/lib/* | grep ... 
doesn't show.  Found a few references to this in the gcc/libstdc++ and 
compat_linux src, but this is getting too deep for me..

This is only used to set 2 vars so it's easily faked if I knew what to 
put there:
sched_min = sched_get_priority_min(SCHED);
sched_max = sched_get_priority_max(SCHED);

Anyone could shine a light?  Thanks in advance.
