To start with, I based my anti-spam on the system described at http://www.flakshack.com/anti-spam/wiki/index.php and it works very very well. I think someone already suggested limiting the size of files that are scanned by the anti-virus, and I'd second that opinion. Chances are your boss and

Backups using Linux emulation

2006-11-30 Thread Michael Favinsky
I'm trying to back up an OpenBSD box using a Linux binary running under Linux emulation. If you're really curious, the product I'm using is EMC/Legato Networker. The binary runs fine. The problem is that since it's running under Linux emulation, instead of backing up /var it backs up

Is anyone on misc going to be at DefCon this weekend? If you are, get in touch. Would be nice to have a beer with other users or developers. If this has already been asked and I missed the thread, then flame away.

Limiting userland RAM utilization

2006-04-10 Thread Michael Favinsky
I have a userland process that once in a while goes haywire and starts consuming lots of RAM. While I'm troubleshooting the problem, I need to set up a way to limit this process's RAM consumption, to something along the lines of 200MB. I was looking at using some of the RAM limiting parameters in

State of SAN

2006-03-29 Thread Michael Favinsky
I'm trying to get a feel for what the state of attaching an OpenBSD server to a SAN is. I've looked at the i386 hardware support page as well as some manpages and all I can find is somewhat old supported HBAs. Is anyone on the list running OpenBSD SAN-attached, either via FiberChannel or iSCSI?

Backups under linux emulation

Dear misc: I'm attempting to use (EMC) Legato Networker to backup one of my OpenBSD boxes. Since there's no OpenBSD binary, and Networker isn't open source, I'm using the Linux binary uner Linux emulation. The binary executes fine, and the OpenBSD box and Legato server are communicating

I just installed 3.8 on a server that never had OpenBSD on it. Whenever I reboot, I get a warning that / wasn't unmounted properly. This is followed by an fsck of / and bootup goes on as normal. All other filesystems are clean. I've tried reboot, halt, even sync sync sync reboot. The bootup

tcpdump | more doesn't produce output

Has anyone tried a tcpdump | more ? Or a tcpdump | grep? When I try to pipe tcpdump output to either more or grep I don't get any network data output. Anyone have any explanation for this behavior? This issue's on OpenBSD 3.6. Here's a dmesg from the host in case it helps. OpenBSD 3.6 (GENERIC)

I have some DL140's running OpenBSD. The BIOS redirection stops working when OpenBSD starts booting. Kinda sucks since you can't see the boot sequence or go into the BIOS setup from a serial console. Disable the BIOS console redirection and set OpenBSD to redirect the console to com0.
