Re: Why I abandoned OpenBSD, and why you should too...
OH MY - did not know it was TROLL hunting season... SO Like I heard a rumor that FaceBook is going to release an open source operating system because we all know how secure from NSA it will be...

How do your employers define 'modern' - by journaling ? Would your employer consider Soft Updates unmodern? I expect you will receive more emails about Soft Updates... If the specification is Journaling and only those two operating systems... the conversation may be mute. Also it reads that you can not consider FreeBSD, nor other BSD flavors since you are restricted to only NetBSD or OpenBSD. FreeBSD has the file system you are requiring since 7 and they are on 9 now... Be careful not to let the solution drive the specifications, that is how you get windows NT controlling a power plant
p5-Net-SSLeay or p5-Net_SSLeay
Just an FYI for OpenBSD 5.1 If someone else runs into this... I just did cvs for stable 5.1 on a i386 that was updated on May 29,2012 ...and... I could not find the port p5-Net-SSLeay nor could some of the dependencies for spamasssassin... I did find /usr/ports/p5-Net_SSLeay to which I did the make install then the other port makes found p5-Net-SSLeay Possibly.. the use of the underscore in the path caused confusion... Google likes to substitute punctuation like - and _ and a search did not quickly find another post mentioning this... .. so I made a common mistake or most sysadmins just knew this... hope this helps someone else..
Re: mod_frontpage - now that freebsd compat gone...
A followup for anyone that googles this thread...
Note that mod_frontpage also supported LINUX which the generic OpenBSD
i386 kernel
still supports.
Support for the port mod_frontpage was removed with OpenBSD 5.0 because
compat_freebsd compatibility was removed. Since then 10 years have
passed,
End Of Life is certain, and none of the pre compiled binaries are
available officially.
BUT Because the binaries are not available except from third sources, it
is for the
best to not even try to have an official port using LiNUX emulation.
If you have to support Frontpage Server Extensions a little longer on
OpenBSD i386...
You will have to consider linux emulation and try using the last
working port
in the 4.9 ports tree. (-rOPENBSD_4_9) on 5.1
I copied it and it did make a port package, so making a port in 5.1 has
not changed
to drastically from 4.9.
I plan to actually try it this weekend on a test server with sysctl.conf
set to support linux
and using fp50.linux.tar.Z instead of *bsd*
Will report back
= NOTES
man options
option COMPAT_LINUX
On those architectures that support it, this enables binary
compatibility
with Linux ELF and a.out applications built for the same architecture.
This option is supported on the i386 architecture. See
compat_linux(8).

MY NOTES in my port...
# cat mod_frontpage/pkg/MESSAGE
To finish the install, you need to enable the module using the following
command
${PREFIX}/sbin/${MODAPACHE_ENABLE}
If you already have Apache running on your machine, you should not use
apachectl restart - instead, you should fully stop and then restart
the server.
This package only includes the mod_frontpage module for Apache. It is
still necessary to download and install the server extensions.
They can no longer be retrieved from Microsoft.
# ftp ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/products/frontpage/fp50.linux.tar.Z
Unfortunatly MS has EOL'd the product and RTR doesn't support it either...
So you will need to find it somewhere else or already have it.
You may find the file as fp50.linux.tar.Z
The checksum for a file the used in testing:
# md5 /usr/local/fp50.linux.tar.Z
MD5 (/usr/local/fp50.linux.tar.Z) = 3ce3e05bdce432f279627442ce5f870a
# sha256 /usr/local/fp50.linux.tar.Z
SHA256 (/usr/local/fp50.linux.tar.Z) =
e49f442bffa19b95a28bb141e6f90d3110eddb8443e9c125fc410ab2436cc895
After retrieving from somewhere - be careful of source - the
following instructions can be used to install
# tar -C /usr/local -xzpvf fp50.linux.tar.Z
# cd /usr/local/frontpage/version5.0
# dd if=/dev/arandom of=apache-fp/suidkey bs=129 count=1
# sh set_default_perms.sh
# find . -type f -perm -4000 -exec chmod u-s {} \;
mod_frontpage - now that freebsd compat gone...
First - don't flame, I have a requirement to support mod_frontpage for a while longer. Yes it is ridiculous... I was going to upgrade that server that was past due to i386 OpenBSD 5.1 But looking at the ports tree I saw this message COMPAT_FREEBSD is gone, remove ports that depend on it April 5, 2011 OOOPS So I can no longer use the packaged ports with stableOpenBSD i386 to meet that need. Before I switch to FreeBSD or look into taking the old port and modifying for another compatibility like linux.. Is anyone else still supporting mod_frontpage on OpenBSD since COMPAT_FREEBSD was removed and do you already have an unofficial port ?

It costs time. Go do an install of OpenBSD 3.0 to understand the point. How about a new product: OpenBSD license for one machine, without media. This way it could be made tax-deductible even for europeans, and there won't be production and shipping cost. Yes, I know, this one also takes some time, so probably not really worth it...
