Upgrading to 4.8. Are there issues with softraid?
I have a machine currently running 4.6 and want to upgrade to 4.8. I know you shouldn't skip releases for upgrades, so I'm planning on wiping and installing. Problem is I have some important data on a softraid partition. The root disk is just an IDE drive (wd0), and the softraid partition is a RAID 1 setup of two separate disks (wd1 and wd2). Can I safely wipe everything on the root disk, install 4.8, and just mount the softraid partition?
Differences between www.openbsd.org and openbsd.org
Look at the differences between: http://openbsd.org/faq/pf/rdr.html and http://www.openbsd.org/faq/pf/rdr.html The difference is drastic. Information on www.openbsd.org leads to errors. Why are these pages different?
Re: Differences between www.openbsd.org and openbsd.org
Still running 4.6. Haven't read the changelog yet and didn't realize syntax changed. Leads to errors means you type that syntax in and it leads to errors. Makes sense since I'm still running 4.6. --- On Wed, 5/19/10, Nick Holland n...@holland-consulting.net wrote: From: Nick Holland n...@holland-consulting.net Subject: Re: Differences between www.openbsd.org and openbsd.org To: stupidmail4me stupidmail...@yahoo.com Cc: misc@openbsd.org Date: Wednesday, May 19, 2010, 3:25 PM stupidmail4me wrote: Look at the differences between: http://openbsd.org/faq/pf/rdr.html and http://www.openbsd.org/faq/pf/rdr.html The difference is drastic.

fdisk and bootable flag
I have a machine with / on wd0. I'm creating a RAID 1 setup using softraid on wd1 and wd2. The instructions are great, except I'm having a problem with fdisk. Using fdisk -iy wd1, it creates one partition, great. But it's bootable, which is causing my machine to hang on boot. Yes, I know you'd usually switch which hard drive to start up in the BIOS, but the BIOS on my machine sucks. Unlike Linux fdisk, there's no a option to toggle the bootable flag. Anyone know how to edit the default MBR record so fdisk -iy creates one partition with no bootable flag, or how to unset the bootable flag?
Sendmail and SMTPAuth
I know this topic has been touched on before but I have what I believe is a simple question. Instead of creating a SASL password db and having to keep two password databases in check I want SASL to use OpenBSD's password file. There's no definitive answer so I want to try and put it out there. In /usr/local/lib/sasl2/Sendmail.conf I would have pwcheck_method: saslauthd. This would tell Sendmail to use saslauthd to authenticate SMTP connections. I would start saslauthd with the -a getpwent flag to have it check not against a SASL password database but against the system database. Are my assumptions correct?
VPN
I've checked and I've checked and I've checked. Please help! I have an OpenBSD 4.0 firewall on a public network, let's say 1.2.3.4. It serves as a firewall/NAT box for an internal network, 192.168.1.0/24. There's a server located behind that box, say, 192.168.1.100. I need to create a VPN to that server. (No, simply using a ssh tunnel won't work for various reasons!) Is it possible to create a VPN from an outside Windows XP Pro machine to our private network using IPSEC? I've read the man pages and they all say how to create a VPN between two OpenBSD boxes. Fine, but that's not what I need. There was a page on openbsd.cz that's not there anymore. Please, please help!

STUPID file permission question
Am I seeing something wrong here? My username is foo and primary group is therefore also foo. I am also in the group bar. I have a directory called anything owned by bar:bar. It's permissions are 770. Why can't I traverse it's tree? Doesn't my being in the bar group allow me with the second 7 to traverse anything's tree? Everyone is raving about the all-new Yahoo!

Doesn't my being in the bar group allow me with the second 7 to traverse anything's tree? Depends on the permissions of the upper directory. e.g. if the directory is /home/bar/foo_bar and /home/bar is only readable+executable for user bar (read 0700) you are not allowed to enter this directory and so you can't enter any directories below that dir.

submit.cf
What exaclty is this file for? I know that localhost.cf is the default an doesn't accept connections from the outside world. sendmail.cf is for accepting connections to the outside world.

Mailman archiving problems
Sorry for posting to this list, but I posted to ports@ and got no responses. I've installed the newest version of mailman from packages, mailman-2.1.8p0. I'm using mm-handler instead of adding all the appropriate address in virtusertable. I've done everything correctly (I've installed in the past several times and it worked fine, this is a new installation on a new machine) as far as I can tell. Messages get sent properly to all lists but they're not getting archived. I've checked all the defaults in Defaults.py and they're the way they're supposed to be. Permissions in /var/spool/mailman/archives/* don't seem to be a problem because if I change _mailman's shell I can create files in those directories. Has anyone had any problems similar to this or gotten mailman this version of mailman to work on 3.9?
Setting Up A Wireless and Wired Network
I want to create a single network, 192.168.1.0/24. I want to be able to access it either from a wired connection on xl0 or a wireless connection on ral0. I am using dhcpd. What's the best way to set this up? I want one single network. My thoughts: xl0 - 192.168.1.1/255.255.255.0 ral0 - 192.168.1.2/255.255.255.0 dhcpd - listening on both xl0 and ral0 This would create a problem though, because the routing tables would be all screwed up. I would have to also create a bridge between the two, correct? So: bridgename.bridge0 - add xl0 add ral0 up. Is this the best way to do it. I essentially want one network available on both cards, so wired or wireless, to be transparent. TIA. -James Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com
Group editing
I've created a website. Let's say it's in /website. What's the best way to give all 10 developers access to those files? I can create a group called webdevelopers and have that group own /website. I can also change permissions to 775 on that directory so that they can create files and directories. But then that's as much as they can do, the developers can't edit each others files. Is there any way to change the umask for a directory and subdirectories? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com
Re: Group editing
I've thought about this yes, but the developers aren't that tech savvy to understand cvs. They'll most likely be using FTP.

Have you considered giving the webdevelopers a CVS (or other versionning system) access and having them modify their own local copy of the website, with some mechanism to checkout the latest version of the website in /website ? This has the other advantage to give you cheap backups in case something has gone wrong and you want to revert to an older version of the site. -- Olivier Mehani [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tired of spam?

reverse dns checks in sendmail
How do you enable this feature in sendmailin OpenBSD? I've looked but can't seem to find it. We're getting a lot of spam from infected machines. Some of these machines don't have reverse DNS entries. An easy way to stop some spam would be to check to see if the relay has a reverse DNS entry. Is this enabled by default (I don't think it is) or how do I enable it? -James Just $16.99/mo. or less. dsl.yahoo.com

IMAP ssl problems
I've installed the UW-IMAP package and placed the correct start up lines in /etc/inetd.conf. I've gotten this package to work correctly on past installations. Whenever I try to connect using IMAP, I get the following error: Unable to load certificate from /etc/ssl/certs/imapd.pem. That's because that's not where that certificate is, as per the instructions it's in /etc/ssl/imapd.pem. Did the package change where to place the certs without updating the documentation? My sendmail installation is using TLS and that's where my confCACERT_PATH/etc. varialbes point to. IMAP doesn't read any of these from sendmail, does it? -James Tired of spam? Yahoo!
