To ensure that routing worked properly I just entered pass (and nat of
course) in the /etc/pf.conf file.

I have no trouble connecting to the server at 38.87.5.122 from the
internal net where nat-addresses are used, but for some reason
I cant connect to the server from the outside. I thought it was a
routing problem but when I entered a port redirect from the gateway

(38.87.5.113) to the server at  38.87.5.122  for the ssh port I reached
the server. I haven't got a
clue whats wrong. Can anybody help to explain this or have an idea of a

 Betreff: windows - pf - inet - pf - ftpd  [not working]
 Datum: Thu, 19 Jan 2006 17:36:02 -0500
 
 I have a problem that when a Windows client tries to connect to this ftp
 site, windows explorer returns 'The operation timed out'.
 
 
 
 The setup is, windows box behind a openbsd PF (NAT enabled) through the
 public internet to another openbsd PF (NAT enabled) which has a rdr rule
 to redirect to another openbsd machine behind it running ftpd.
 
 
 
 I'm assuming the problem exists on one of the firewalls, or both.. Is
 this something that ftp-proxy can fix?
 
 
 
 I know the ftp works because I can connect to it form the far end's
 openbsd box, just seems that I can't go through two NATs of PFs or
 something like that.
 
 
 
 Any help is appreciated.
 
 
 
 Thanks!
 

Have you tried passive ftp-mode in Windows explorer: extras -internet
options - extended

I managed to install FBSD on the machine (failed with OBSD, NBSD,

server that _must_ run OpenBSD. Learning from the past, I am now
checking the M/B spec. and compare them to
http://www.openbsd.org/i386.html and http://www.openbsd.org/amd64.html.

I have found 4 available motherboards (socket 754, so the amd64 port
would be the best choice, I guess) at our provider, that might work;
the southbridges/all-in-one chips in those are, respectively:

* nVidia nForce 410 MCP
* nVidia nForce3 250
* VIA 8237R
* nVidia nForce4-4X

In the OBSD hardware list, I find

* NVIDIA nForce/nForce2/nForce2-400/nForce3/nForce3-250/nForce4
* VIA Technologies VT82C586/A/B, VT82C596A/B, VT82C686A/B, VT8231,
VT8366, VT8233, VT8235, VT8237

Which one do you think would be the safest bet here?

It would be good to be able to run the SATA disks, but perhaps the
safest bet of them all is to get regular ATA ones?

CVSync servers not syncing?

Hi,

is there some problem with the main CVSync? It seems that at least
some of the main CVSync servers don't sync since yesterday, about

And Bob is not just some long-away-in-the-cvs-tree developer, but a

 Downloading OpenBSD in any form via BT is not for me. Unless of course
 the .torrent file, seed and checksums were from official OpenBSD
 sources. When I compare the checksum of the download, I want the source
 checksum to come from an authority. An email from Theo for example.

Hasn't there been some research which shows that checksum collisions
are entirely possible? :)

From pf.conf(5), under OPERATING SYSTEM FINGERPRINTING:

 Passive OS Fingerprinting is a mechanism to inspect nuances of a TCP con-
  nection's initial SYN packet and guess at the host's operating system.
  Unfortunately these nuances are easily spoofed by an attacker so the fin-
  gerprint is not useful in making security decisions.  But the fingerprint
  is typically accurate enough to make policy decisions upon.

Re: OpenBSD 3.8 and IBM Blade HS20 boot CD

I've got exactly the same problem. It seems that BladeCenter have an
unusual keyboard controller (switchable). I tried to boot with all
floppy disk, with external keyboard (USB and PS/2), different BIOS
settings and it never worked. I think the internal KVM is not
hardware transparent. I'm not sure but I think that NetBSD/i386
2.0.2 didn't boot either (can't remember). Also, critical pieces of
hardware are detected and configured : buses, cpu, ram, nic, scsi,
video... It's raging to be blocked by... the keyboard !! Hope it will
be supported some days...

Re: OpenBSD 3.8, fxp, device timeout

2006-01-20 Thread Alexander Farber
Hi,

for comparison I have a similar PC at the same provider and
it works fine (I have fxp at irq 11 though, and use -current).

Also I had used the original floppy image to install OpenBSD:

wget ftp://ftp.de.openbsd.org/pub/snapshots/i386/floppy38.fs
dd of=/dev/hda if=floppy38.fs bs=1k count=1440

Sven, are you sure your fxp is not working? Maybe just your
network settings are wrong? Here are mine (stolen from Kili):

Re: OpenBSD 3.8, fxp, device timeout

2006-01-20 Thread receive . mailinglists
Hi Alex,

I've written the floppy38.fs to my server via:

wget -O- wget ftp://ftp.de.openbsd.org/pub/snapshots/i386/floppy38.fs 
/dev/hda (within the rescue system). I also tried some customized
floppy-images (with custom kernel options)

and it boots fine ;) But my problem is, that the fxp (dualport) nic has
irq 12 assigned:

fxp0 at pci2 dev 6 function 0 Intel 82557 rev 0x08, i82559: irq 12,
address 00:30:48:52:c9:fc
inphy0 at fxp0 phy 1: i82555 10/100 PHY, rev. 4
fxp1 at pci2 dev 7 function 0 Intel 82557 rev 0x08, i82559: irq 12,
address 00:30:48:52:c9:fd

and on your server the nic has assigned irc 10 and 11:

fxp0 at pci2 dev 6 function 0 Intel 8255x rev 0x08, i82559: irq 11,
address 00:30:48:53:3c:96
inphy0 at fxp0 phy 1: i82555 10/100 PHY, rev. 4
fxp1 at pci2 dev 7 function 0 Intel 8255x rev 0x08, i82559: irq 10,
address 00:30:48:53:3c:97

and that's the problem :(

I've the same problem like:
http://readlist.com/lists/openbsd.org/misc/0/2302.html

but option PCIBIOS_INTR_FIXUP_FORCE didn't resolve my problem :(

Best regards,
Sven


 Hi,

 for comparison I have a similar PC at the same provider and
 it works fine (I have fxp at irq 11 though, and use -current).

 Also I had used the original floppy image to install OpenBSD:

 wget ftp://ftp.de.openbsd.org/pub/snapshots/i386/floppy38.fs
 dd of=/dev/hda if=floppy38.fs bs=1k count=1440

 Sven, are you sure your fxp is not working? Maybe just your
 network settings are wrong? Here are mine (stolen from Kili):

 /etc/hostname.fxp0:

 Ssh session and pinging 3.8 Generic running on Compaq Deskpro SB time out

 You get 'No route to Host' message in ping or ssh session freezes.
 The box is connected to 4 port Belkin KVM switch on video and keyboard,
 regular PS2 mouse is plugged in.
 Re-plugging mouse wakes up the session/ping and it works for a little
 while.  Pressing keys on mouse makes no difference.
 Unplugging keyboard makes no difference, but connecting to Video and
 keyboard on KVM and hitting a key on a keyboard
 does wake up  OpenBSD so that it responds again.

Have you checked the BIOS for interesting options? This looks like the

Ifstated question

2006-01-20 Thread Steven S
Greetings,

I'm trying to use ifstated to determine the state (up or down) of my two ISP
connections.  Currently I'm using ping, which I realize is imperfect, but
I'm getting some odd transitions.

For example, ISP2 is very unreliable and ifstated was in the ISP2down state.
From there, based on the config below, it transitioned to the IPS1down state
even though ISP2 was also down.  I would have expected it to transition to
the bothdown state.

Any thoughts or pointers would be appreciated.

Unless they decided to suddenly change how they release OpenBSD, they
most certainly are not. 3.9 has JUST moved to beta yesterday (or 2

beginner question about faq 10.2

2006-01-20 Thread Jose Fragoso
Hi,

FAQ 10.2 explains how to duplicate a filesystem. I would like to put that 
one-liner in a shell script to be run periodically through crontab. I mean, I 
would like:

cd /SRC; dump 0f - . | (cd /DST; restore -rf - )

in a shell script.

Whenever this script is run, I see an error message like:

restore: cannot open /dev/tty: Device not configured

My question is:

Is there any way to do this dump/restore in a shell script without the use of a 
temporary filesystem?

Thanks in advance

Best regards,

Josi

imho, you can just ignore this message. However, sometimes dump tries
to interactively ask (on the terminal) to change the tape; but cron(8)
doesn't have a terminal. I'd suggest you to use the '-a' option of
dump(8) to avoid this problem.

 My question is:
 
 Is there any way to do this dump/restore in a shell script without

i don't think so.

Subject: windows - pf - inet - pf - ftpd [not working]





I have a problem that when a Windows client tries to connect to this ftp

The setup is, windows box behind a openbsd PF (NAT enabled) through the
public internet to another openbsd PF (NAT enabled) which has a rdr rule
to redirect to another openbsd machine behind it running ftpd.



I'm assuming the problem exists on one of the firewalls, or both.. Is
this something that ftp-proxy can fix?



I know the ftp works because I can connect to it form the far end's
openbsd box, just seems that I can't go through two NATs of PFs or
something like that.



Any help is appreciated.

Partition sizing

2006-01-20 Thread M...
Hello.

I'm playing with OpenBSD 3.8 and would like some
comments/advice on partitioning.
I have a 500MHz test machine, 256MB RAM, 4GB H/D,
100/1Gb intel ethernet card.

Most of the examples show separate partitions for

/
/tmp
/var
/usr
/home

I want to run a mailsever (20 users),
(spamassasin/clamav) mailing list server (20 lists),
ftp and web servers, (maybe 100MB or so of data)
adding them in and seeing how it handles the load.

I was thinking of doing

/ = 500MB
/tmp - 100MB
/usr - 1GB
/var - 1GB
/home - 1.4GB

or should I just have a root and home partitions ?

I'm not really sure about the sizing for /tmp or /var
so I want to be economical with the limited space.

Opinions please.

Thanks in advance.

Paranoia makes me make that bigger, usually 200M, though I can't think
of a reason why on your app.

 /usr - 1GB

keep in mind, that's too small for building, but great for binaries.

 /var - 1GB

sounds big...

 /home - 1.4GB

sounds VERY big...
What are you putting in /home? 

 or should I just have a root and home partitions ?

Not if you are planning on doing something other than testing.

 I'm not really sure about the sizing for /tmp or /var
 so I want to be economical with the limited space.
 
 Opinions please.

Suggestion 1: Quit assuming your first install will be your last.
Install, look around, see how it works, adjust, try again, adjust,
try again. repeat until (done);

Figure out your OWN needs, don't ask others.  We don't know, and
more importantly, it's your job/reputation on the line.

Suggestion 2: Quit trying to allocate all your disk space.  Leave some
empty space at the end that you can move into if you need to.  Make var
and home 500M ea., leave a gig or so free, put /var at the end of
allocated space, if you find out you made /var too small (most likely),
growfs it.  If you find /home is too small, move into the 1G space.

See FAQ 4.6.

You forgot the swap partition.  Also, your / is probably way overkill.
 I haven't run a production mail/list/ftp server, so I can't speak for
the remaining estimates.

Re: OpenBSD for Sun Cobalt Qube3

2006-01-20 Thread Bob Bostwick \(Lists\)
I've done several RAQ2 installs, and have them in production as well.  I
have a RAQ3 but could not get it to run anything but linux.  I have
rebuilt it several times, but only succeeded with RH.  I had to remove
the HD for this install, and I assume you could get OBSD installed in
the same way.  I failed in my attempts to do so, but still think it
could be done, maybe.  I seem to recall having to use a specialized
kernel in that box as well.  In any case, moving the hd to another pc
for install is the way to go. 

Good luck.

 The Cube outdated Linux dmesg:

I don't think it would work at all as the Cobalt always had their own 
hardware handling stuff. Plus to load it, you need a restore CD.

If you really want to play with this and see if that can even load, even

if I think it would not, you can start by making your restore CD based 
on the instructions here:

http://netbsd.org/Ports/cobalt/restorecd-howto.html

I did work with Denis and Alex to test it on the Cobalt RaQ 2. So, 
that's only a starts, but you are really on your own.

The thing is that for the Cobalt, after it is loaded, you rlogin in the 
box to finish the configuration, but that's because the kernel is design

that way for that box. In this case it wouldn't work. Assuming you can 
ever get the box to netboot and that it would actually detect the 
hardware properly, then you would need to built a configuration that 
would make the box in a working state for you to then access it. Usually

you can do this via the console, but again, I don't think it would work 
out of the box on the console, but the only way to know if to try it.

I loaded NetBSD on plenty of Cobalt RaQ2 box

http://openbsdsupport.org/netbsd/

But that's not going to do much for you in here. The Cobalt RaQ 2 is 
mips base and th4e RaQ 3 is i386 base.

Good luck however. Would be nice to have it working in in, but I don't
know.

isakmpd ocsp lookups for revoked x509 certs ?

2006-01-20 Thread Thomas Hannan

Hi all,

Looking at seeing if there's any decent way of getting isakmpd to 
perform OCSP lookups to verify that a potential IPSec client's 
certificate is currently not revoked before allowing them to authenticate.


I looked through the archives, and there was one link to someone's 
procedural guide to handling terminating employees (manually updating a 
CRL and distributing), and one link to a PDF that no longer exists. I'd 
like to roll out PKI for a network with quite a few VPN concentrators 
running OpenBSD and SonicWalls without completely losing my mind as far 
as handling revoked X509 certificates.


man isakmpd.conf yields nothing, isakmpd.policy yields nothing obvious, 
nor does keynote


If this is possible and I've missed it, please let me know your 
experience or any pointers on where to best RTFM.


Thanks!



MRTG/RRD font size

2006-01-20 Thread Paul Connally
Weird thing I can't seem to figure out...

Is there a reason that the font sizes (and graphs themselves) on the graphs
created via MRTG/RRD would be small and ugly due to using the pre-compiled
package vs a compiled from source implementation of the RRDtool package?

On a number of boxes (OpenBSD 3.5 to 3.8), I see this consistantly.  For
example, I have the pre-compiled package for the OS version for MRTG (ex:
mrtg-2.10.13 on 3.5, mrtg-2.12.2 on 3.8).  On one box I use the pre-compiled
RRDtool package, rrdtool-1.0.49, and on another I use a compiled from
source RRDtool (same version, rrdtool-1.0.49; I guess it doesn't change
much from one to another).  On the box that has the 'compiled from source'
RRD, the graphs created have normal, easily read letters and numbers (the
'bits per second' thing on the left side of the graph, or the 10/20/30Mb/s
levels, etc), but on the box with the package version of RRD, the letters
are very tiny and squished together.  Also, the graphs themselves seem to be
larger, and/or seem to resize themselves based on the monitor size; on the
box with the packaged RRD, they stay tiny regardless if the video card
setting is 800x600 or 1280x1024.

This is easily replicated across different hardware.

There's not any diff I can see in regards to installed fonts.  In fact,
the box that has a pretty set of graphs has fewer installed font (and
otherwise) packages.

Here's some of the particulars:

Re: 3.8 panic on boot (rd0)

Leaving the history intact, following up below.  An offlist reply

Hello all,

I have an older i386 pc that I've been using as my home firewall for some
years now.  It currently runs 3.3 and I was hoping to do an upgrade, so I
did go ahead and buy the full CD set (impressive packaging, btw) after
having trouble with boot floppies (marginal drive) and the boot CD ISO.

However, the kernel panics every time I try and boot the 3.8 CD.  I've
also tried 3.7, 3.6 and 3.5 boot CDs that I downloaded from the OpenBSD
ftp server.  Hardware seems fine; I ran memtest86+ for a day and it did
about 30 passes with no errors, I tried different CD-ROM drives, different
IDE cables, removed all network cards, etc., but still it panics in the
same place (right after rd0: fixed, 3800 blocks).  CPU is an AMD
K6-2-500 clocked down to 300 - temperature is fine (about 110F), mainboard
is an old Epox.

On the suggestion of a bsdforums.org user, I tried downloading bsd.rd and
booting that from the 3.3 install, and that failed.  I'm guessing it has
something to do with the exec format changing; perhaps the old loader
doesn't understand the new kernel exec format?

I'd suggest trying a 3.8 snapshot as well, to make sure it hasn't
already been fixed in -current.


I grabbed a snapshot from 1/19 today and burned the mini cd boot iso.

Same thing.  Where do I go from here to troubleshoot this?  It does panic, but 
I'm not sure how to get a dump when booting off of cd.

Hotmail/MSN spamd spamtraps

2006-01-20 Thread Darrin Chandler
Anyone out there using spamd seeing a *lot* of spam from valid 
hotmail/msn mail servers? Most of their outgoing servers are in my 
spamtrap blacklist from spamming some choice spamtrap addresses (5 year 
old, unpublished addresses that got ripped from address books, etc). 
Spamd logs show it's actually spam, and the servers really are 
hotmail/msn (CIDR, forward  reverse DNS). I haven't had this problem 
with any of the other major providers, just hotmail/msn.


Could botnets out there be gleaning hotmail account info and using it to 
send spam? That would get around the port 25 block many broadband 
providers are doing...


Just found it curious. So far the attitude at my office is that the spam 
reduction is worth blacklisting hotmail. Spamd *ROCKS*!

Most of the spam I am seeing these days either comes from Hotmail
(nearly all are Nigerian spams), through mailing lists such as the
OpenBSD lists, or from  accounts on other servers.  

Greylisting on my mail machine has cut down my spam load drastically. 
Plus, when a spam does get through, I typically blacklist the IP
addresses originating the spam.

For example, when someone spams through this list, I go through the
headers to find the originating address and add the IP address (the
entire /24 if it appears to be a dsl, cable, dialup, wireless, other
address pool, or if there is no reverse lookup available) to the
internal blacklist.

As for the Hotmail spams, every once in a while I go through the headers
in the ones I received that day and look for the X-Originating-IP header
added by Hotmail.  Then, I use that header to filter out anything
comming from them using procmail.

For example, we have recieved a number of Nigerian spams from hotmail
originating in various 82.169.149/24 addresses and so the following is
used to filter anything coming from them into a separate spam folder
that the users can check if they wish for errors.

:0
* ^Received:.*hotmail\.com
* ^X-Originating-IP: \[82\.169\.149
user_imap_files/spam

where user_imap_files is a directory in the users home directory.  If
they add user_imap_files as their imap directory in their mail client,
then they can peruse their spam folder.  A cron job on the first day of
each month deletes the spam-lastmonth file from the directory, renames
spam to spam-lastmonth, and creates a new spam file for them.

To the best of my knowledge, we have never had a false positive on this
check.

Re: portmap daemon

2006-01-20 Thread Gustavo Rios
Thanks for your feedbadk!

I have some daemons that only comunicate by TCP. I would like to be
able to make indirect call to the local portmap daemon for calling my
tools.

Reading the RFC 1831 says (in the context of indirect calls): the
portmap comunicate with the remote program using UDP.

Could i infere i may add support for indirect comunicate using TCP
without violating the standard?

I am worried, too, about the security implications this patch could open.


2006/1/19, Theo de Raadt [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
  I have been playing around with openbsd portmap. I am confused about
  the fact that if a program is registered above port 1024 any local
  user may remove it, right?

 Yes.

  Does it sound good from a security point of view?

 It's not that great, but unfortunately there is no solution to this
 problem.  It is a bad design.

 I've spent a lot of time working on RPC, making it more secure.  There
 are many other restrictions for safety in our RPC and portmap code,
 but there is no real solution to this.

That advice is as bogus now as it was then.

The answer is, use what YOU need.
Most of the time, if your system starts swapping, you are hurting.

The Swap = 2x Physical rule makes a little sense if you have a LOT of
applications loaded, but only a few are actually active at any one time,
AND waiting for a swapped-out app to get reloaded into RAM and an
inactive app to be swapped out is acceptable.  That's an unusual
situation for many, probably even most, systems.

The other application I have found for swap is where one app will
suddenly start demanding astronomical amounts of RAM for a brief moment,
and the nature of the task is where it doesn't matter if it takes two
minutes or twenty minutes.

Usually, however, if you are running any kind of server and you expect
swap, you need more RAM, not to be quibbling about swap sizes.

Core dumps are saved to swap, but then, they get unloaded to /var on
boot, so IF you care about this (and most people probably should not),
you have to size several things appropriately...swap slightly bigger
than physical RAM, and enough free space on /var to have at least one
core dump, probably multiple.

Re: connection to 3.8 box times out

2006-01-20 Thread Igor Vilensky
I don't believe BIOS is at fault.  I could not find anything vaguely related
in BIOS settings, plus,
I booted machine with Knoppix boot cd and have been able to ping it for
hours on end.
Rather strange.

  Greetings,
 
  This is my first post. Apologies if not everything is pro forma.
 
  I hope someone might help me with this issue.
  Ssh session and pinging 3.8 Generic running on Compaq Deskpro SB time
 out
  after 800 to 2400 when not actively using the box.
  You get 'No route to Host' message in ping or ssh session freezes.
  The box is connected to 4 port Belkin KVM switch on video and keyboard,
  regular PS2 mouse is plugged in.
  Re-plugging mouse wakes up the session/ping and it works for a little
  while.  Pressing keys on mouse makes no difference.
  Unplugging keyboard makes no difference, but connecting to Video and
  keyboard on KVM and hitting a key on a keyboard
  does wake up  OpenBSD so that it responds again.

 Have you checked the BIOS for interesting options? This looks like the
 BIOS shuts down the machine or some such.
