Recent changes in the FAQ.

[Pascal Deveaux]

I want to install OpenBSD with full disk encryption.

Why these recent changes in the FAQ in the section "Full Disk Encryption":

-old-
"if you use GPT for UEFI booting, do: # fdisk -iy -g -b 960 sd0"

-new-
"if you use GPT for UEFI booting, do: # fdisk -gy -b 532480 sd0"

all files are present in /bin/ mkdir. Oddly enough after several attempts I was 
able to create the directory

Is /bin in your PATH, and if so, does /bin/mkdir exist? On an amd64
install /bin should have 41 files.

Interesting... because I was testing accents on my French keyboard.

You probably typed:

$ mkdir[some unprintable character] test

For example, if you type 'mkdir', then hit ALT-ENTER, then ' test', you will
get exactly the error message you first reported:

ksh: mkdir: not found

Then, I'm guessing that instead of typing it again, you just hit 'cursor up'
to get the line back from the shell's command history, which would include the
unprintable character.

Eventually, when you typed it again without the unprintable character, it
worked.

Try:

$ mkdir[ALT-ENTER] test 2> /dev/stdout | hexdump -C

And you will get the following:

  6b 73 68 3a 20 6d 6b 64  69 72 8d 3a 20 6e 6f 74  |ksh: mkdir.: not|
0010  20 66 6f 75 6e 64 0a  | found.|
0017

Notice the 0x8d byte following 'mkdir'.  This is 0x0d, (ENTER), plus 0x80 as
a result of seting bit 7 by pressing ALT.

The command
# chown root:_smtpd /etc/mail/secrets
Return : group smtpd doesn't exist
