Re: Enough is enough!
Pitty their isn't a $5 fee for whining. I'm sure imposing something like that would generate alot of revenue for Theo and the rest of the development team.

So, this is just a simple and quick note to thanks ALL the ***developers***!!! for a great OS and constantly improvements done each day with the inclusion/improvement/addition and development of BSD license applications included in base, as well as REMOVAL/CLEANUP of really bulky/old one. No one SADLY really thank you for your TIME YOU so gracefully give to the project and that we get the advantage and benefit to be able to use and sadly looks like you are most of the time on the bad disgraceful receiving end! YOU give us YOUR time, YOUR brain, YOUR ideas and WE get the benefit of YOUR HARD WORK as well that YOU so willingly share so OPENLY with ALL the community. Just as an example, (I only pick the latest one, so forgive me for it) but yet still an other HUGE chunk of code was removed in the last few days *grof stuff and that's not the only one so don't take it as ONLY that please. But just that is yet one HUGE chunk of cleaned up code and it's amazing to see and follow source-chan...@cvs.openbsd.org and constantly see not only new great things constantly added, but a FANATIC attention to getting things secure, clean and correct each day as well as REMOVAL as well of old stuff including and not limited to old GPL stuff that clearly show YOUR total dedication to your beliefs! I don't want to take more of YOUR time as there is WAY to much to be thankful for and the list is WAY to long to put here! Even if I could, I would for sure forget some or someone and that's the last thing I really want to do is forget even a single developer effort and time gratfully givin to the community like YOU do each and every day! THANK YOU GUYS!! There is no words to really express the satisfaction and gratitude for the best OS ever made and second to none! I am sure you had built a thick skins over the years from comments on misc@, but just know that NOT all users on misc@ are total loosers! There is more then you might know that very much appreciate your work and gifts! Sadly it's the quiet one that really appreciate it I suppose! Best regards to your all and long live OpenBSD! Daniel PS: All others misc@ followers, don't forget 4.8 will be officially release on November 1, so go get your CD and show your support as well!
Re: 4.8 arrival!
bsdmaster, IMO you should buy the cd's or wait patiently for them to be released to the mirrors. If you rely on OpenBSD enough to ask someone to take their time to create ISO's and upload them you rely on it enough to buy it!!!

Thanks alot, this will be of great use for poor folks like me who cannot afford the expensive license fees. Yes, I said it, 50CDN$ is very expensive. Maybe the OpenBSD Company could setup something like MSDNAA, for stuents to get access to the software for free? Anyway, I'm getting off topic. PS: please people, stop bottom-posting.

I think of course this problem could be solved easily, so I search the mailing-list and I find that the snapshots are make manually by one person. I must say this person is a very courageous, but his wasting is time and the quality of the project (and also as a consequence, my time is wasted too). I suggest people always use the code that already exist to automate their task. For example, we could use the openSUSE build-service. Notice how their name also includes the word 'open', so it's very nice. I know how to use it very well, and I think I can be of some help with that process. Please contact me about this matter, I will reply directly to you with my desired username for my @openbsd.org email address, please don't just go creating it all for me without contacting me first to get my opinion because sometimes email addresses can be ugly and I don't like that. You're welcome.
Adaptec Serial ATA RAID 21610SA
Hi misc, I'm looking for some feedback from people who might have tried using an Adaptec Serial ATA RAID 21610SA on OpenBSD. I completely understand why Theo and the rest of the developers don't include the driver in the GENERIC kernel since they were never given the documentation from Adaptec needed to create the best driver possible. My file server currently runs FreeBSD 8.1 and has the adaptec card in it, thus far it's ran quite well but I would love to have that system running OpenBSD if I can. So I'm hoping someone on misc has experience with this card and might be able to offer some insight as to what I can expect in comparison to how it runs on FBSD... I also wanted to take this time to thank all of the other developers for the upcoming release. Shawn
Re: Adaptec Serial ATA RAID 21610SA
Thanks for your updates to the story Nick. As I said at this time I can't replace the card but I will certainly do so as soon as I'm able. I appreciate your feedback.

And don't forget this follow up: http://marc.info/?l=openbsd-miscm=126775051500581w=2 As you people keep bringing Adaptec cards, I'm gonna update my story... If you haven't read the above chapters in the story, you might. I swear in it a few times. I don't usually do that. It's worth the read just for that. :) ok, when we last saw this story, Adaptec was working on new firmware which really would fix the problem. Not too long after I wrote the second chapter in this saga, I got word from my ever-patient support guy that they got a new firmware for me, and if this doesn't do it, they are sending me new controllers (LSI), which they have switched to for all new machines they send out (forcing a rev of their application). The new firmware is installed, and finally..things are working. For a while. A couple months ago, one of the boxes hangs and quits working, somewhat like the very very first problem, but to be honest, that isn't my first guess. I reboot the box, and call the service vendor and they look and sure enough, a couple hours later I get a call from the guy who has patiently worked with me on this stuff and he said, It did it again. I can't believe this, but sure enough, the system logs show the controller tripping up and killing the system. again. So, they tell me, That does it, you are getting the upgrade kit. They send me out the deluxe edition, complete with new disks, array pre-created and preloaded with the new OS, as the old array won't be readable on the new array controller. The kit is actually pretty decent, they have obviously spent a bit of time planning on having people field-upgrade these what were supposed to be sealed boxes, and changing cards in computers, of course, hasn't been an issue for me...well, ever. It's something of a pain, though, as we basically have to rebuild the box from scratch, and reconfigure it as the old system was (and hope we got everything right the first time...which we did by the time the third box was upgraded). While we are upgrading the first one, though, another one died on us...leading us to think we've got an uptime-related issue. So at this point, I've got three of the boxes upgraded with new firmware (and a new version of the OS to go along with it). The fourth box, I offered to test the NEXT new Craptec firmware on. Curiously, the version number on the new firmware is SMALLER than the last This is it version. Yes, you could feel my support contact rolling his eyes when he told me that. Do note that every step of the way, they are sending me new FIRMWARE, not new OS drivers. They are having trouble working around the bugs in the hardware. THE CARD IS CRAP. THEY KNOW IT. Tell me again how wonderfully it is working on your FreeBSD system. No, better idea, don't. Save your breath. All I will believe at this point is you haven't seen a problem...yet. Maybe this card doesn't suck as bad as the ones we got in these four machines. Maybe it just sucks differently. Nick.

Re: Perfect daemon for a torrentbox
I've used btpd, which is excellent IMO. The only thing you'll find is you can't make it fake ratio/speed and such as I have heard you can do with rtorrent. A simple script and I was able to just drop .torrent files into a directory on my desktop machine and using a cron job the .torrent files would be copied over and started automatically in btpd. The blacklists you could maybe do using PF? As for encryption, I cannot say as I've never tried that. Good luck with your project!

As far as I know, pls correct me if I'm wrong, rtorrent is not meant to be run as a daemon, even though somebody on linux already tried to overcome this: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=53395 or http://flipsidereality.com/blog/linux/rtorrent-with-wtorrent-on-debian-etch-complete-howto/but these look like dirty hacks. I'd therefore like to know which program I could run as a torrent daemon with the following requisites: 1. accessible/browsable through CLI/ssh every time I connect (http could be a plus, also to upload .torrent files) 2. supporting level1 IP blacklists 3. supporting protocol encryption Any good hints for the clue bucket? Thanks in advance

Re: Why I left OpenBSD
Dexter, I'm still relatively new to OpenBSD and the community, however a few days ago you had asked about why large memory support still wasn't enabled by default. Asking if the developers needed hardware, funding or what not to get it working properly. If you were in fact a developer as your latest rant states and large memory was such a concern for you, it would stand to reason that you would be well aware of why it hasn't made it into the default install. Also, a developer likely wouldn't piss and moan about it on the mailing lists, rather they would just start working to rectify the situation. Your obviously full of shit IMO, FreeBSD 7.2 came out quite some time ago. If you havent been using OpenBSD since your change than why did you inquire about large memory support three days ago?

This feels more like the usual troll post of people that got hurt while dealing with Theo. Like somebody said, is this the year of trolls?
