Re: Using /32 resp. /128 netmask for carp ips

To add to this, just as when using other first-hop redundancy protocols like VRRP or HSRP on a Router or Layer-3 switch, we only want the single IP address to float between the redundant hosts, and not the entire subnet. So we define the most specific subnet mask for IPv4, which is 255.255.255.255

Re: non-interactive sh and SIGTERM

Sorry about the wrong report, I just tested again and I can see the same behaviour with OpenBSD 6.4: sending SIGTERM to the sh process after launching sh -c 'sleep 1000' does not result in sh sending a SIGTERM to the sleep process. Philip, what was your test? Thanks On Fri, Nov 23, 2018 at 09:50

Syncthing

Hi all, I am trying to sync my media libraries via Syncthing with other machine. However Syncthing on OBSD complains about "too many open files" and refuses therefore to scan and synchronize the folder. I have increased sysctl kern.maxfiles as well as openfiles-max for the staff group (of which t

Using /32 resp. /128 netmask for carp ips

Dear list, i want to know why it is good practice to use /32 netmask for ipv4 respectively /128 netmask for ipv6 addresses on carp interfaces, while using the "real" netmask for example /24 for a dedicated address on an interface. Any advice ? Thanks, Joerg

OpenBGPD set nexthop blackhole qualify question

Hi misc@ readers, I have a question regarding the "set nexthop blackhole" nexthop qualification in OpenBGPD 6.4 stable. It looks like I have to add "nexthop qualify via default" in order for the blackholed route to make it from the rib to the fib. I understand this is standard behaviour for

Re: non-interactive sh and SIGTERM

After some testing, this issue does not seem to be directly caused by ksh. Compiling ksh from a year ago, I get the same behaviour: SIGTERM is not passed on to child. I'm not sure what to try next. Bisecting /usr/src? On Fri, Nov 23, 2018 at 08:55:16AM +0100, Olivier Taïbi wrote: > On Thu, Nov 22,
