Just set your PKG_PATH variable and then it's a simple 'pkg_add' to
install your favorite MTA:

OR
# pkg_add -i postfix

If you want to use an APC UPS you might need to compile nut from ports (or
download and compile the latest version).
For some reason, the newhidups/hidups drivers are not in the 4.1 package and

most usb APC UPS, look it up
Hi everyone,
What do I have to take into account if I plan on doing a fresh install in
one box and then take the hard drive and put it in another box?
I am aware of the networking configs that I will have to change. But apart

Hi everyone,
It seems that DragonflyBSD is going to create a new FS: (
http://leaf.dragonflybsd.org/mailarchive/kernel/2007-02/msg00097.html). I

if this new FS might be useful to OpenBSD.

Hi everyone,
Recently I have been going over a bunch of the documents in
openbsd.org/papers in order to write an overview of the security
features in OpenBSD for school.
I have a small question concerning the malloc G option.
Theo basically says this in slide:
I was hoping re-re-re-reading Theo's slide would help me understand,

Recently I wrote an email to Theo about this idea I had to help fund

Hi,
I'm just wondering if the Niagara chip (by Sun) is supported on OpenBSD

I think I read somewhere something about Sun kind of open sourcing the
design of the chip, did I dream this?
