You are either a keen student or a masochist. ;) Dealing with those two issues in reverse order: I have perfect control over NAT because it is done in my OpenBSD firewall and it is way more complex than a modem could do anyway - routing a /29 without wasting a public IP on the $ext_if. So you don't need to move to a card to get NAT control, just turn it off in the modem or, as I do for simple client sites with only one static IP, use double NAT with the firewall $ext_if set as the default DMZ host (or something the same with a different name - depends on modem brand) and then the WAN IP will appear to be the firewall address. NAT too often tends to break new technology, especially where security is a concern... and double (or triple) NAT is sheer masochism--especially when debugging larger networks. I have control over PPP in the modem so that I have PPPoA running where it is common knowledge (wrong) that PPPoE is needed, the modem logs connections in detail and gives me lots of statistics without consuming firewall resources. At least one brand logs to syslog on the firewall. I'll admit, the statistics of the PPPoE/PPPoA connection is nice, but no where near as nice as having a public IP address on your OpenBSD box--many consumer-class large DSL providers in the US dislike providing public IPs to a consumer's own hardware (as opposed to the DSL router/modem provider by the provider). Finally I have several modems with saved configuration files so the death of a modem is not a drama. With a modem that is working fine an OpenBSD upgrade at the firewall doesn't mean that I need to pray that whatever code I would have been using to drive the modem would work with the latest OS. I used to dream of getting an internal ADSL modem. I'm now very glad I ccouldn't. My nightmare is not have a public IP assigned to my OpenBSD box.

And do try another ethernet card if possible. Seconded on both points. This is a CardBus card and I only have other 3Coms--I tried another identical 3Com card with the same poor results. One thing I've found very helpful in debugging PPPoE has been to use either the - (time between packets) or -tt (absolute epoch time) options on tpcdump, watching the packets on both the real Ethernet interface and the tunnel (pppoe0) interface, in two side-by-side windows. I was about to give this tcpdump timing a shot, but decided to spend a few more hours trying some other tests. Here is the results of my findings (all devices connected to the DSL modem were directly connected): * Reconfiguring the modem to handle the PPPoE connection, instead of the OpenBSD box, and reconfiguring the OpenBSD box as a workstation (meaning no hostname.pppoe0) yields the same 1.5Mb/s Internet download speed--which would suggest the issue is not with 3.7's kernel pppoe but, perhaps, related to xl * Removing the xl card from the OpenBSD box and putting it into a Windows box yields a 5.5Mb/s Internet download speed--which would suggest the card performs fine * Putting the xl card back into the OpenBSD box and performing an ftp transfer between the OpenBSD box and another box connected via crossover cable yields a 40Mb/s download speed--I'm not sure what this suggests, but it seems, in some way, there is some kind of interoperability issue between xl, OpenBSD and my DSL modem I'm interested in hearing some feedback on the above tests. Also, since it seems xl hardware is not well touted by those in the know, what Ethernet CardBus cards are recommended? I'll assume ne and rl are not one of these and I'll gladly pickup a recommended CardBus card to address this issue--particularly if the price is right (thinking eBay).

cvs patch on 3.7
Just had a quick question on the patch for CVS. After I applied the patch to CVS I checked the version on a server with the patch and one with out the patch. In both cases, the versions were the same (1.11.1p1). When I checked the hash values of the file (/usr/bin/cvs) the two binaries did not match. My question is whether this is normal for the patches? I have never checked in the past. Thanks, Michael Calvi

relationship passwd file - homedir(s)
Is there anything similar to Linux's pwck available ? (No need to tell me that we're in OpenBSD, please !) What I'd want, is to check the passwd file and delete all home dirs that have no user account any longer. Then, I'd also create home dirs for all users in the passwd without home dir yet. Since this is a migration of 100 users from Linux, I don't feel like doing it manually and the FAQ stops at importing the accounts. Getting the list of the users on Linux doesn't help, there are about 100 home dirs for archive reasons; without valid accounts. So I'd actually need an auto-creation of home dirs for active accounts from an OpenBSD passwd file. Plus, I don't need the _ and 1000. I searched Google and in here, but so far without success.

Normal tools should help.
awk to extract the list of directories:
awk -F: '($3 = 1000 $1 !~ /^_/) { print $6 }' /etc/passwd
grep the result for the pattern '^/home/' (or whatever your base of
home is), sed that away 's,^/home/,,', sort it. Compare (e.g. using
diff) with the output of ls /home/ | sort.
The lines with + are the directories that shouldn't be there (if you
use the ls output as the second input to diff), the lines with - are
the directories that should be there but aren't. Act upon them properly.

So I'd actually need an auto-creation of home dirs for active accounts from an OpenBSD passwd file. Plus, I don't need the _ and 1000. The simple answer: Create your user accounts (there is a FAQ for migrating SysV/Linux to master.passwd/BSD). I also have a very poorly written Perl script which will generate the useradds for you: Clean up your source password list (from the Linux box) before generating the useradds, so only active accounts will be added to the new system. http://bda.mirrorshades.net/code/scripts/openbsd/bin/migrate_users.pl cd /home for i in * ; do rsync $source:/home/$i . ; chown -R $i:$i $i ; done Go go gadget shell. If you've already added the users, but there were no original accounts on the new host, you can just rsync /home with the --delete option and it'll clean the tree for you. If you're merging systems, and have overlapping usernames, or homedirs that existed on the other system or are otherwise desync'd, you'll have to write some conditions or whatever. I've migrated probably half a dozen boxes since I started using OpenBSD heavily (moving away from Linux) last year. I have yet to run into any major problems. I haven't been sleeping well lately, so the world has gone a bit sideways. Take the above with a shaker or two of salt. As for maintaining state between the password files and /home (and conceivably the mailspools) I can think of a few simple ways to do it with Perl, but never bothered. I always archived and moved the user's homedir off (or deleted it) when the user's status was changed. Cheers. -- bda cyberpunk is dead. long live cyberpunk.

You can use find(1) -nouser for this.

Use awk that parses out the home directory from /etc/passwd and
creates if it is missing. Something like this perhaps:

I know php4, both core and extentions builds fine for me in 3.6. Is there any reason why you're not just using packages? They're all on the FTP site, including the latest ones for 3.6.

You could try setting media to 10BaseT half-duplex this usually helps you notice if there is a problem, and can sometimes solve it. ifconfig takes xl0 media 10baseT, but adding half-duplex yields: $ sudo ifconfig xl0 media 10baseT half-duplex ifconfig: half-duplex: bad value Regardless, with ifconfig xl0 media 10baseT, both the modem and OpenBSD box show the connection at 10Mb/s, but the issue persists. And do try another ethernet card if possible. Seconded on both points. This is a CardBus card and I only have other 3Coms--I tried another identical 3Com card with the same poor results. One thing I've found very helpful in debugging PPPoE has been to use either the - (time between packets) or -tt (absolute epoch time) options on tpcdump, watching the packets on both the real Ethernet interface and the tunnel (pppoe0) interface, in two side-by-side windows. I was about to give this tcpdump timing a shot, but decided to spend a few more hours trying some other tests. Here is the results of my findings (all devices connected to the DSL modem were directly connected): * Reconfiguring the modem to handle the PPPoE connection, instead of the OpenBSD box, and reconfiguring the OpenBSD box as a workstation (meaning no hostname.pppoe0) yields the same 1.5Mb/s Internet download speed--which would suggest the issue is not with 3.7's kernel pppoe but, perhaps, related to xl * Removing the xl card from the OpenBSD box and putting it into a Windows box yields a 5.5Mb/s Internet download speed--which would suggest the card performs fine * Putting the xl card back into the OpenBSD box and performing an ftp transfer between the OpenBSD box and another box connected via crossover cable yields a 40Mb/s download speed--I'm not sure what this suggests, but it seems, in some way, there is some kind of interoperability issue between xl, OpenBSD and my DSL modem I have exactly this setup (xl0 connected to DSL modem on a high speed DSL line, it's a 3c905c card), The modem is an Arescom NetDSL 800 (shitty). The whole thing won't pass over 50kb/s if the xl0 card is 100baseTX full-duplex or even 10baseT full duplex. I have to configure xl0 this way: # cat /etc/hostname.xl0 inet 192.168.0.254 0xff00 NONE media 10baseT for pppoe to work with *this* ADSL modem. Meanwhile xl0 in a crossover cable works up to 60Mbps using media 100baseTX mediaopt full-duplex. The address of xl0 is just there cos I can connect to the modem's local ip address 192.168.0.1 via Arescom's NetDSL remote manager just to watch the speed the ADSL line have in cloudy days, it drops to 2200Kbps

pthreads question
For a threaded network application I'm developping, I have to watch
the number of concurrent connections. I currently use this code:
if (curconns maxconns) {
curconns++;
}
else {
pthread_cond_wait(conns_is_at_max, useless_mutex);
continue;
}
curconns is decremented by other threads each time a connection is
finished and is only incremented in the main thread.
I use a condition variable to know when it is decremented so that I
can restart the loop and accept the connection.
I don't need a mutex but it seem the pthread code requires one. The
manpages on pthreads are very scarce. Is there a better/simpler way
to do this?
Help is apreciated (pointers to documentation, plain answers, or just
anything useful)

Best options for a boot CD without union mounting?
Ted Unangst wrote at Thu, 26 May 2005 01:16:55 -0400 (EDT) notice layered mounts are gone. I have understood from all sides the union mount implementation was bad and buggy, so no problem with that.

3.7 briefly...
Well I installed 3.7 last week on an old laptop Friday night to finally check it out. Unfortunately my house got broken into the laptop was stolen on Sunday. I got to spend about 3 hours with it. Thankfully I had removed the CD from the drive before I left so I still have that. I'd love to see the look on the persons face when they boot up their new windows laptop Oh well, it was time to change all my passwords anyways. -Healy
Sad boot problem (boot.conf: invalid argument)
Hi to all. I have been interested in BSD for about a year and have tried all of the three most popular free ones. I would like to start by saying something good: OpenBSD was a very pleasant surprise to me. After trying FreeBSD and NetBSD, I left OpenBSD to the end of the queue because of so many bad things I had heard about it, like it's slow or it's too difficult. I didn't find any of this while testing it. Instead, this is my favorite BSD so far and I actually think I could use it every day instead of Linux. I also want to build a server, BTW. Now, the bad thing. Contrasting with the very good experience I had in my tests, I have already installed it three times because of a problem that beats the heck out of me. You certainly have heard about it before: disk: fd0 hd0+ OpenBSD/i386 BOOT 2.02 open(hd0a:/etc/boot.conf: Invalid argument boot booting hd0a:/bsd: open hd0a:/bsd: Invalid argument failed(22). will try /obsd boot booting hd0a:/obsd: open hd0a:/obsd: Invalid argument failed(22). will try /bsd.old My first line is different from disk: fd0 hd0+ because I have three hard disks. And I guess it's not BOOT 2.02 anymore. I have OpenBSD 3.7. Actually, I copied the block above from the archives: http://archives.neohapsis.com/archives/openbsd/2003-11/0143.html It was very sad. In the first time, I could boot with the cd: boot boot hd0a:/bsd But I couldn't find out how to fix the system and boot without the CD. Reinstalling didn't work either. Neither did deleting and recreating the disk labels. Actually, even if I format the slice with another file system, the disk labels are still there when I try to reinstall. The only method that worked for me was the following: - Format the slice with another file system. In my case, ext2. - Boot into Linux and copy an awful lot of data to that slice until no space is left. - Boot with the CD and reinstall everything all over again. Yes, this method actually worked twice and had me piloting OpenBSD again. That's when I tested OpenBSD and found it so good. But it only survives about 4 or 5 reboots until that nasty problem bites me again. And in the last two times, booting with boot hd0a:/bsd didn't work either. Then I just gave up. What I have now is an unbootable slice. If I had actual data in there, I wouldn't know what to do to have it back. But what is also a very bad consequence is that now I am afraid of OpenBSD. All the time during my tests, I stared nervously at the boot sequence waiting for the strange problem to happen again. And, sure enough, it's happened three times already in less than two days. I really liked all the rest of the experience, but I don't think I'll have the courage to actually use it. I almost formatted the slice to install something else and left OpenBSD behind, but decided to take a shot and ask for a little enlightenment here. Back to that message I found in the archives, it seems that the person that signs as herk solved the problem with a BIOS update. Actually, I found another case in Google of someone who had the same problem and also solved the problem with a BIOS update. But I don't want to go that way. I do not feel comfortable at all updating my BIOS. Lots of things can go wrong and trash my motherboard. Besides, I really would like someone to tell me why that has to be the only way if: - I never had that problem with FreeBSD; - I never had that problem with NetBSD; - I never had that problem with Windows 95, 98 or 2000 (this machine never saw and never will see XP); - I never had that problem with any of the 10 or more Linux distros I have tried, over 30 if we count multiple versions of these 10 distros as individual distros. In light of these facts, what would the technical explanation be for such a discouraging flaw not to be viewed and addressed as a bug or, at least, a shortcoming of OpenBSD? Of course, alternative and effective solutions to my problem would be greatly appreciated, but for now I only beg that you gentlemen at least tell me, in very clear wording, why it is not considered a bug if it only seems to happen with OpenBSD. Many thanks in advance for your time and attention. -- Luciano Espirito Santo Santos, SP - Brasil

curconns is decremented by other threads each time a connection is

I use a condition variable to know when it is decremented so that I
can restart the loop and accept the connection.
I don't need a mutex but it seem the pthread code requires one. The

yes, you need a mutex. use one.

Re: MySQL issues
Well, as long as where ever the mysql unix socket is located is on the same partition as apache, you can just create a hard link for it inside the apache chroot. Another option is to make the mysql server listen on localhost, and have phpBB2 connect via localhost. The benefit to that is that it doesn't matter where the mysql server is located, as apposed to the hard link which would require it to be located on the same partition.
