It's a Dell Inspiron 1525 that was advertised as having Crestline graphics. The only problem that I've run into on the laptop is that suspend/resume is flaky. Thanks to Doug Chris for the information. It is good news. The machine in question is a Latitude D830. It has a T9500 processor (64-bit @2.6GHz), a 1920x1200 display and a serial port. I should have possession of the machine in about a week and will report my progress/results. I hope to get accelerated graphics working so I can use it as my personal workstation. I have been using OBSD for infrastructure since 3.0, and Linux for my daily driver desktop. I have tried moving my workstation to OBSD but always moved back because I needed functionality only available on Linux. I so very much want to be done with Linux even though I have been using it since 0.9* kernels. If suspend/resume doesn't work, I can live with that. I will be chasing -current so maybe it can be sorted out if need be. I'm looking forward to this. Later, Ray

Sparc64 Build Farm
As many of you may have noticed, Bob Beck is planning to assemble a Sparc64 build farm for ports/packages. I am donating on my own already, but I noticed this on Craig's List in Northern California and hoping others will help too. Here's a way. The total need is 8-10 v210/v215 units, 6 seems to be a practical min. I'm in this for two. Any Sparc64 fans out there? http://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/sys/3806080911.html This is a new-in-the-box unit and a steal at $260 I'm been using old Sun equipment for years. If anybody knew the meaning of carrier grade, it was Sun. Let's make this happen.

I tried your advice but it had no effect. I have spent more time digging into this and found that any X options set prior to launching xfce4-session will be reset to whatever value xfce4-session wants and it clearly wants ctrl:swapcaps unset. I added the following line (sleep 10; setxkbmap -option ctrl:swapcaps) to /etc/xdg/xfce4/xinit just prior to the launch of xfce4-session. The 10 second sleep holds off my option change until xfce4-session (or a child process) has wrecked its havoc. This seems to be the only way I can get the final word on the matter. This also suggests that adding setxkbmap to the Session and Startup - Application Autostart is the right approach, but there seems to be no way (short of a sleep) to force an ordering of started apps. So my final workaround is to restore /etc/xdg/xfce4/xinit to its original content and create the following shell script in my ~/bin directory. This method will survive a package update of Xfce4. cat bin/swap_caps.sh #!/bin/sh (sleep 10; /usr/X11R6/bin/setxkbmap -option 'ctrl:swapcaps') I have added a launcher for this script to the Session and Startup - Application Autostart dialog. Since this doesn't seem to be an OpenBSD issue. I guess I need to take it upstream. For the time being, I will use this rather ugly work-around. Thanks Ray
Re: How to list available all hard disks in OpenBSD
Hi,
Sometimes I just can't let well enough alone ;-)
Add this to your .profile
Fdisk-l () { sysctl hw.disknames | sed -e 's/[,=]/\
/g' ; }
From my laptop command line:
ryl@smag {~} Fdisk-l
hw.disknames
sd0:f07ccfaba910bc8e
cd0:
sd1:21a268bf64300a23
ryl@smag {~} vi .profile
just to feel at home ;-)
BTW, I've never seen the command Fdisk -l and the
fdisk -l I know requires a device name to list
the device's partition table.
Knowing Linux though, it wouldn't surprise me to
hear that some distro has a Fdisk command that
behaves as you describe.
Best,
Ray

I realize this is not an OpenBSD specific topic, but since I'm trying to get Linux and OpenBSD to cooperate, anyone I ask for advice will refer me elsewhere. I want to do backups of my Android phone whenever it is at home. The best software package I know of for this is rsync. I own an ARM development system (a Trim Slice), running Linux, and can therefore compile anything I want for the Android phone (statically linked). I have a couple options, that I can think of: Run rsync's daemon on the phone, from a boot script. Configure hotplugd on OpenBSD to run an rsync client when the phone connects via USB. I like this idea because it reduces needed privileges on my laptop... I trust the phone less than my laptop, so I would rather give my laptop access to the phone than my phone access to my laptop. I dislike this idea because the phone uses 5 watts while charging, and I would prefer to charge it from a household outlet to reduce load on the laptop. The second option is to run rsync's deamon on my laptop, and rsync from the phone via an ifup script that checks the SSID. This works nice because I can charge the phone from an outlet, and do the rsync wirelessly. This is harder to secure though, because I would want the rsync client to have no other access to my laptop. Am I missing other considerations? Which of these two options is better? There is an rsync client app in available for download. I have used it to sync to OBSD for over a year without a problem.

My solution to this problem has been to use dnsmasq.
They have an active mail list and the maintainer
has been responsive to my requests. If you want
use this an internal subnet that is well protected

It has worked well for me in a non-hostile environment.

Re: OpenBSD forked
On 06/17/2012 12:31 PM, Peter J. Philipp wrote: Having followed OpenBSD for quite some time I noticed that good developers come and go. They come in, make something great happen, and disappear again. Also there have been forks and I also noticed that no fork gets a light judgment. Rightfully so. And then I always appreciated the permanent element in OpenBSD that guides our attention to areas we as users and sideliners don't always see immediately. I'll keep buying CD's when available and I do donations here and there when I feel like it, and I don't regret it. ditto. I almost always remain silent in political matters, (relating to OpenBSD that is). I will list some reasons why I am not going anywhere soon for a free OS. I have been using, donating hardware and purchasing CDs since 3.0. Reason 1: Legacy Architectures I have many legacy machines in service because they can be acquired for next to free (sometimes just free). These legacy machines are very good at exposing subtle bugs not found by compiling and running on Intel/AMD hardware. Since these legacy architectures are strange in the i386/AMD64 context, exploiters are unlikely to bother with them. None of my Internet facing machines are on popular architectures. I have seen attackers come and leave as soon as they figure out what they are up against. The combination of OpenBSD and uncommon architectures is a very tough nut to crack. Reason 2: Security This is an unknown. All FOSS claims to be free, fast and secure. Even Microsoft claims to be secure. Maybe the new team will be as fanatical as Theo, likely not if their FAQ is to be believed. Their reputation for security will be revealed with the passage of time. Reason 3: Crypto I don't know where the new project is located, but they seem to have a server in Southfield, MI USA and another in Denmark. I hope none of the developers is subject to US export laws regarding cryptography and that the code is maintained on servers also not subject to those laws. Just look at the recent MegaUpLoad case. That case is reportedly about a bunch of ripped off movies. I have googled a bit and have not found a physical location for the project or its code. Reason 4: Stability The new project FAQ states they intend to be less restrictive with the codebase when it comes to experimenting with features. Maybe in the long run some of the new features may be introduced into OBSD, but in the near term I expect much instability given the broad range of deeply embedded things they intend to change. Reason 1 is a big problem for me and my crusty old war horses. Reasons 2 3 may be unfounded, the secrecy here (there are no developer names listed on the project web site) is not very confidence building. As to reason 4, I am only mildly interested in fast. I want correct and stable execution above all else. For this reason I expect to continue with OBSD for a long time. I do have considerable sympathy for clearing GNU out of the code base though. Now going back into lurker mode. Regards, Ray
STARTTLS DSA vs RSA
I have an OpenBSD system with sendmail/TLS configured according to starttls(8) which calls for DSA keys. I have a situation where an MS Exchange Server contacts my sendmail in an attempt to transfer a message. The transfer fails with no shared cypher. This sendmail handles over 10k messages per day, so DSA is clearly supported by most in email-land. About twice a year, this shared cypher issue comes up. I am not a full time administrator and am not wise to the ways of all things email and crypto, so my question is: Why does starttls(8) describe only DSA ? Is this just because nobody has updated the man page, and are there reasons to prefer one over the other? I am being pressured to fix this. Should I dig into this and figure out how to use both? It looks like the easy thing to do is regenerate the certs with RSA alone. Is that advisable? Thanks, Ray

The dates (commits in Sept, your post in Oct, 5.0 release in Nov) also led me to misbelieve it was in 5.0. But looking at the changelogs I see the bits that store boot info in softraid metadata and dynamically figure out the root happened after the 5.0 freeze. Something to look forward to in 5.1 :). Thanks again... Why wait? I have two amd64 servers in production on -current and all is humming along magnificently. One is heavily loaded by large image file manipulation over samba. Of course that has little to do with the boot block business. Both servers were booted more than a dozen times during provisioning so I feel good that they will come up after an extended power outage. I did boot with sd0 removed to force a boot from sd1. I then took a third disk and rebuilt sd0 while the machine was up and running. All went well. To me it was worth the trouble to pick a snapshot between commit storms by the developers, just so I didn't have to deal with the altroot thing any more. I have been using OBSD for Internet facing infrastructure for the last 10 years but always used RedHat/CentOS for internal servers. In Oct I installed the first of the two and don't see going back. I am so done with Linux servers. OBSD is getting close to the point where I can use it as a workstation/desktop. My biggest hindrance is no wine. I guess I am going to be forced to make friends with some VM system and cross mount the filesystems via samba. I assume smarter people than me have done that already. I would take suggestions of a preferred VM off-list so as not to hijack this tread. Regards all

root filesystem on softraid
I saw the commits for this a few weeks past and thought I'd give it a go. I have successfully built a RAID1 on two ~500GB physical drives. The root filesystem is on partition a. I shutdown the machine and replaced one of the disks with a fresh unused one to test the rebuild process. All seems to have went well, it is still rebuilding, but in checking status I see no serial in the status output. Should the serial number contain the duid? Is this expected or did I miss something? Maybe the serial relates to hardware raid? # bioctl -hv sd2 Volume Status Size Device softraid0 0 Rebuild 458G sd2 RAID1 20% done 0 Online 458G 0:0.0 noencl sd0d 'unknown serial' 1 Rebuild 458G 0:1.0 noencl sd1d 'unknown serial' My test machine is a Lenovo w500.

A few extra input channels, more accuracy/resolution, and a few digital IOs wouldn't hurt, but are not necessary. DIN rail mounting and connection breakout would be nice, but can be improvised. On the software side, there will be OpenBSD, with ad-hoc monitoring and control scripts. With a little programming and script-writing, I can adapt anything that the OS can reasonably access. Now come the issues: I can't use PCI cards, only external units, most likely connected via USB (as Ethernet and serial are expensive or rare). And it needs to have some software support under OpenBSD - a Windows- or Linux-only solution doesn't work. And this application is not worth spending thousands of $$$. For Windows and LabView, solutions are easy to find (for example EMant300, DAQPodMX, a variety of Omega products). Does anyone now of a solution that would work with OpenBSD? Ralph, http://www.netburner.com/embedded_control.html The PK70 with the analog board will give you everything you asked for and quite a bit more at a hardware cost of US$400. This may be over-kill, and you will need to write a bit of code to run on the PK70. You will also need to add a voltage divider if you want to go the 20V route. The development environment is GCC based but unfortunately hosted on Windows :-(. I have rolled my own cross-compilers for other NB products on Linux, OpenBSD would probably be possible. The development environment is not needed once you have downloaded your code to flash on the PK70.It is probably not worth the trouble as your requirements are small, even though it's hard to be productive while holding your nose with one hand while typing with the other. I am assuming this is a hobby project and your time is free (as in beer). I have been using products from this company in volume for a decade. They are good guys with very solid products.

Once you have a built release you can run upgrades everywhere from that release tarball. man release to figure out how to do that. Now you may ask, why don't we do that? We simply do not have the resources and time to devote racks of machines, developer time, and internet bandwidth to building stable somewhere for all architectures, and distributing it securely. Us (the developers) would rather spend our time improving the os and our resources at distributing it and making it better than expending a lot of effort because someone is too lazy to rtfm and patch something themselves. If you want push butan, get os, please go run windows 7 or OSuX.. you'll be much happier, as will we because the neediness of our user community goes down. The fact that you have to not be lazy to use OpenBSD is important to us. Unlike a commercial OS, or linux, we don't measure our success in how popular it is, or if we're going to replace the evil microsoft any time soon. we *WANT* needy lazy users to use those other OS's so we can concentrate on making something that works and is stable for people who really need it, like ourselves.

I don't desire to become an expert on RAID, I don't want to spend a lot of money, and I'm confused by what I've read on the subject. Here's how I'd like it to work: One of the disks craps out... an alarm goes off... I walk in with a new drive, and replace the failed one (hot-swap?)... beeping stops... no data is lost, system heals itself by taking care of the new drive... years pass, and life is good. Is this feasible - can I remain ignorant of the RAID details and jargon, and still benefit from it? Ignorance often leads to a very expensive education. Are you certain that archival backups are not necessary? While a properly designed RAID solution will (may) protect users from loss of data due to h/w failures, it will do nothing to protect them from themselves. Furthermore, off-site backups are needed to recover from catastrophic events, like fire, flood, hurricanes, earthquakes, etc ... I don't know how important the data is, but as the old aphorism goes, If its important, it's backed up. Regards, Ray

After searches on the internet turned up nothing, I found your site about your love for OpenBSD. My problem is that when I boot, I get an error /dev/rwd0a BAD SUPER BLOCK: VALUES IN SUPER BLOCK DISAGREE WITH THOSE IN FIRST ALTERNATE. Then, on the same 13 gig drive, the error, /dev/rwd0a UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCY RUN fsck_ffs MANUALLY . Later on, I also get an error from my other HardDRive which is a 200 gig Seagate. This drive is also getting many errors. I did not realise it, but I guess I had formatted it in NTFS. How can you format a disk and not realize it? Do you mean you formatted a disk already containing data? ... do you mean you formatted the disk and then transferred the data to it? Are you set up for dual booting of Windows and OBSD? Otherwise how did NTFS get involved. You need to describe your environment and the sequence of steps preceding your catastrophe. This HardDrive contains many files of which are very important (3 years worth of files and a few thousand family photos). Data is only important if it is treated as though it is important. If it's important, then it's backed up. The only thing I can remember that might be related to the error is that the computer would not shut down the previous night. I am relatively new to OpenBSD so I shurgged it off as I held the power button down. I made sure the HDD activity light was off. When you typed the shutdown or halt command, what happened? I am using OpenBSD 3.7. When I type login I get a #sh not found error and it seems to continue. From there I get thousands of errors where the computer tells me to fsck. From my view, it looks like both filesystems became corrupted. I really need these files. You are probably correct in thinking both filesystems are corrupted. A liveCD of Ubuntu doesn't seem to be working as it can't read the 200 gig drive. The Ubintu CD is working just fine. You are asking the programs on it to perform a task they cannot do. The 13 gig drive comes up with a nod error every couple or so nodes with fsck. Ubuntu won't even read the 200 gig drive. Can you please help me at least to recover hte files? Any suggestions would help. THe computer is a 500Mhz K6 with the 13 gig drive run as master and the 200 gig drive as slave. I don't mean to be unkind during your distress, but this is entirely the result of you own actions. Trying to run fsck on an NTFS filesystem is likely to make any recovery impossible. Some of these files are photographs of my now deceased grandfather and are very important. I'm sorry to say this, but your files may be irretrievably gone. The best advice I can give at this point is to find somebody who has expert knowledge of whichever file system is involved (BSD or NTFS) and let them take over. Maybe there is a data disk recovery shop near you. The good ones are expensive. Thank you for your time. Da nada, Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. All the best, Ray

Alas I realized that the outbound mail server couldn't participate in
such a scheme as it needed to present the same addresses to the world
so that its dns name matched the helo name.
So I tried this:
nat on $ext_if from $server_1 - $ext_ad
nat on $ext_if from sp_net - $ext_ad_sp
nat on $ext_if from kw_net_minus - ext_net_minus
where sp_net is the address block on em1 and kw_net_minus is the
address block on em0 minus ext_ad (66.100.28.130).
Same problem, although mail service was solid again (no bounces from
those MTA's doing reverse lookups).
After examining http://openbsd.org/faq/pf/pools.html, I thought it might
be a round-robin vs. source-hash issue and tried this:
nat on $ext_if from $server_1 - $ext_ad
nat on $ext_if from sp_net - $ext_ad_sp
nat on $ext_if from kw_net_minus - 66.100.28.136/29 source-hash
as it appears, from the doc above that a CIDR block must be used when
specifying source-hash.
But again some clients experience very poor to what seems like no
Internet access.
The minute I revert back to:
nat on $ext_if from !$ext_if - $ext_if:0
or
nat on $ext_if from { kw_net, sp_net } - ext_net
everone works but my translations are limited to just the one address.
Pointers toward resolution? Thanks.
Chris,
First off, it's a bad idea to broadcast your real IP numbers
in a public place.
Secondly, here's what works for me.
nat_pool = { 169.1.2.64/29 }
nat on $ext_if from 10.10.10.0/25 to any - $nat_pool source-hash
At this site, I originally omitted source-hash. Users of
secure web-sites like ADP (a payroll processing company) and
the IRS would get dumped out of secure sessions because the
client was changing IP numbers.
