As a small tale of personal experience, a few people - at any time, around three - work on the website for my students' association. We have been using Subversion for months now, but prior to that, even with only two really active webmasters, my contributions to the main site (as opposed to some scripts, which are mostly my exclusive domain due to being the only thing approaching a coder we have) got clobbered more often than not. Yes, good coordination and more care from my coworkers could have prevented part of the problem, but still... using some version control makes life that much easier. OTOH, teaching people to use Subversion properly is another matter altogether. I'll be installing an elaborate pre-commit verification script this weekend, which should take care of most nasty habits. Now if I can only get them to commit pages without an average of three errors which need fixing immediately, I'll be happy[1]. ;-) Joachim [1] That, and dropping PHP (or at least keeping MySQL out the door). And installing a real OS - even Linux or MacOS, though my preference would be different of course - on the desktops. And getting some real money for some real servers, or at least some real disks[2][3]. And a UPS, backup network link... well, a man can dream. [2] Running out of space on a 40 GB disk really isn't that difficult nowadays, especially when people upload our 2 GB of photo's in three or four places, and have an archive of ~ 14 GB of assorted junk (Word, JPG, who knows what else is in there?).

Oh well, we'll finally have RAID in place this weekend, and everything's been on tape for months[4]. [4] Now if I could only find that backup from a month or four ago... it should be on some X CD's. Tape is so much nicer. I'll stop ranting now.
altq pf and interface group
hi
i try to use an interface group name together with altq in my firewall config .
example
ifconfig bge0 group wan_if
altq on wan_if cbq bandwidth 100Mb queue { std, www, ssh, admin }
if i try to aktivate this i got an syntax error from pfctl.
if i do the interface as macro and the altq line like this
altq on $wan_if cbq bandwidth 100Mb queue { std, www, ssh, admin }
everything works perfekt.
all other kinds rules works perfect with the interface group name
( rules , rdr , nat )
it is an bug ?

Re: Using cursor keys with VIM...
On 5/17/06, Ken Morley [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I am new to OpenBSD 3.8, but have a lot of experience with SuSE RedHat Linuxes. The problem is that I've always been able to use the cursor keys when editing with VIM under SuSE and RedHat and I can't seem to break the habit. So, I keep trashing the file I'm working on by using the control keys. (function keys) I currently use VanDyke's Secure-CRT 5.0 terminal emulation software. No matter how I configure Try using putty. save yourself a registration fee and support open source software. OpenBSD or the terminal emulation software, I can't find a combination that will correct the problem. try TERM=xterm or its variants If you have a suggestion other than removing those keys from the keyboard, I would love to hear it. Thanks very much! Ken Morley From the OpenBSD console, I have seen that it generates different ansi sequences than what is -typical- in xterm etc. I can't complain, 'ansi sequences' are misleading, in that ansi sequences were never standardized, though the name implies it. vim does it's best to define sequences depending on your TERM. However this doesnt map correctly to an OpenBSD console with TERM=vt220 or TERM=wsvt25. I've found the need for these in my vimrc: if $HOSTTYPE==OpenBSD OpenBSD function keys set t_k1=[11~ f1 through .. set t_k2=[12~ set t_k3=[13~ set t_k4=[14~ set t_k5=[15~ set t_k6=[17~ set t_k7=[18~ set t_k8=[19~ set t_k9=[20~ set t_k;=[21~ set t_F1=[23~ set t_F2=[24~ ...f12 set t_kP=[5~ page up set t_kN=[6~ page down set t_kh=[7~ home set [EMAIL PROTECTED] end endif Simply look up the :help section that lists all of the key code variables and re-configure them. For F1, simply into a .vimrc: set t_k1=escctrl+vF1 and so on... Do this from SecureCRT and they keys will work correctly. As somebody else pointed out, try using hjkl and vimtutor. You'll thank yourself later. Some people say vi is only for hardcore hackers who like to overcomplicate something as simple as an editor, but I feel it allows me to be so lazy that I barely have to move my hands around, esp wen using ^[ instead of the escape key. jdq

xmms does not run smoothly
Hi, xmms on my computer freezes temporarily when doing disk-intensive tasks, e.g. examining the ID3-tags of a long playlist. It is not a serious problem, it just annoys me that my OpenBSD installation apparently does not perform as well as my friend's Debian GNU/Linux installation, which does not suffer from the problem. It _is_ a matter of honor :) Any help is appreciated, but my primary objective is to find out whether I am the only person experiencing this problem.

OBSD 3.9 freezes during install from cd39.iso (2 different medias) on Supermicro PDSMI MB Dual Core Intel 2.8G
Hey all, really odd problem: booting from cd39.iso (to install over wire, has worked on a generic dell from the same media, but I tried another blank CD as well.) is freezing on boot on my 1U system (Supermicro PDSMI MB, http://tinyurl.com/ol4nu , P4 2.8Ghz CPU (dual core), 1gig memory, sata HD. During boot it gets as far as: bios0 at mainbus0: AT/286+(2c) BIOS, date 04/17/06, BIOS32 rev. 0 @ 0xfd470 pcibios0 at bios0: rev 2.1 @ 0xfd470/0xb90 pcibios0: PCI BIOS has 20 Interrupt Routing table entries pcibios0: PCI Interrupt Router at 000:31:0 (Intel 82801GB LPC rev 0x00) pcibios0: PCI bus #6 is the last bus And then bam, it stops, no error, no beep, nothing. It just sits there. I just noticed that my cd39.iso file is a little older then the one currently at ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/snapshots/i386 so I've tried again with the new file, this time it gives a bit more information (and IDs the motherboard) bios0 at mainbus0: AT/286+(2c) BIOS, date 04/17/06, BIOS32 rev. 0 @ 0xfd470, SMBIOS rev. 2.51 @ 0x3feea000 (33 entries) bios: Supermicro PDSMI pcibios0 at bios0: rev 2.1 @ 0xfd470/0xb90 pcibios0: PCI BIOS has 20 Interrupt Routing table entries pcibios0: PCI Interrupt Router at 000:31:0 (Intel 82801GB LPC rev 0x00) pcibios0: PCI bus #6 is the last bus And then it freezes at the exact same spot I'm going to try to load from one of the official CDs I have (3.7 I think is the latest) on Monday in case I need some sort of driver that's not in the cd39.iso build, but I have a feeling because of where it's freezing that won't help, so if anyone has any ideas please let me know. This 1U had an intended purpose of being a firewall, and I was hoping to run OBSD/PF but know that redhat runs on this equipment, so I can switch to a linux based firewall if I have to. (I much prefer PF...) Thanks for any pointers, Ben
Re: xmms does not run smoothly
It was/is the case for me too ! :-( The workaround I use is to increase buffer size to its maximum, i.e. 13MB, with 50% to upper pre buffer. It works quite nicely, but I feel it's a dirty workaround... Nevertheless it allows me to play mp3 and ogg on my 700MHz Athlon with 384MB of RAM, even with cumulated/simultaneous : _ high FTP loads (with vsftp in FTP mode, didn't tested with SFTP) _ web browsing through Firefox (10 tabs) _ Gaim 1.5 _ Xchat. _ Bluefish _ 3 xterms But it keeps micro-freezing sometimes, and memory load is around 360MB (of 384). :-| mylife I didn't complain as I was warned OBSD is quite server oriented, It was quite a challenge to use it for everyday desktops tasks.

If it fails again, capturing the entire attempt (including dmesg) via a serial console would be perfect. Ken I have messed a bit with the disks, but the problems wont dissapear. I attach a console-install try. Hope it clears things a bit.

Check malloc(3) for details. Since enabling it by default would break far too many 3rd party ports. If you have a block of IPs then having one firewall can save you wasting IPs. I'm sure there's some scrub ttl hack you could do to hide the second firewall. In my opinion the OpenBSD kernel pppoe device is very reliable and far better than the average cheap consumer ADSL modem/router. Since there were complaints of no real docs in Google on using the kernel land pppoe driver for a pppoa connection with a bridged ADSL modem doing the ATM work. I have recently written http://compsoc.dur.ac.uk/~djw/pppoa.html on the matter. A word of warning is that I've only just thrown it together, but may be useful to others who can't get their firewall to do what they want it to do.

While not a solution to the general problem of stuttering in xmms, the stuttering while scrolling your playlist is easily solved now by saving into the playlist the ID3-tag data. xmms will do this for you if you load a playlist, scroll through it (so that xmms has to load the data for all the entries), and then save the playlist back to disk, overwriting the file you loaded. When you next load that playlist, you'll experience no delays for ID3-tag loading. That's just for .m3u playlist files, of course. Not perfect, but it's an easy to to get rid of an annoying class of blips. (The data is just placed in comments in the .m3u file, so you could probably whip up a script to insert that info without having to work the xmms GUI...) Philip Guenther
php5-curl error: couldn't resolve host
i'm trying to get the php5-curl-5.0.4p0 module working with some php code that's
running on a 3.8-release machine. this code makes XML requests to UPS to get
shipping costs and times. when the php attempts to use curl to contact the UPS
web address https://wwwcie.ups.com:443/ups.app/xml/Rate , it craps out and gives
an error:
Error from cURL: Error [6]: Couldn't resolve host 'wwwcie.ups.com'
i suspect this is an issue with running from inside the apache chroot, but do
not know how to proceed and/or confirm this suspicion. just to be thorough,
here's the chunk of php code that generates the error:
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);

Check malloc(3) for details. Since enabling it by default would break far too many 3rd party ports. If you have a block of IPs then having one firewall can save you wasting IPs. I'm sure there's some scrub ttl hack you could do to hide the second firewall. In my opinion the OpenBSD kernel pppoe device is very reliable and far better than the average cheap consumer ADSL modem/router. this is the route i ended up going: put the router in bridge mode and let openbsd do all the routing of public IPs. aside from the issue of needing a local nameserver to map the domains i serve to their private IPs (since binat doesn't allow local machines to access the mapped public IPs), it works just how i want :). it would be a plus if there were a method for pppoe failover, but this can likely be achieved using ifstated and a bit of creativity. has anybody done this?
Re: xmms does not run smoothly
I have always had the suspection that desktop software like xmms and firefox
run a bit slower on OpenBSD in comparison with other OS's, but never had a
clue why it happened, or if it was only happening on my machine.
I suspect (and may be completely wrong) that it could be something regarding
process switching latency; let me explain: when compiling Linux
kernel, somewhere
it has an option to change kernel latency, with three options {server,
?, low-latency
desktop} - I forgot the middle one.
Is my guess wrong, should I change login.conf, is there any sysctl to
be changed?
Thanks and don't flame me [too much]. =)

While not a solution to the general problem of stuttering in xmms, the
stuttering while scrolling your playlist is easily solved now by
saving into the playlist the ID3-tag data. xmms will do this for you
if you load a playlist, scroll through it (so that xmms has to load
the data for all the entries), and then save the playlist back to
disk, overwriting the file you loaded. When you next load that
playlist, you'll experience no delays for ID3-tag loading. That's
just for .m3u playlist files, of course.
Not perfect, but it's an easy to to get rid of an annoying class of blips.
(The data is just placed in comments in the .m3u file, so you could
probably whip up a script to insert that info without having to work
the xmms GUI...)

It is not a serious problem, it just annoys me that my OpenBSD installation apparently does not perform as well as my friend's Debian GNU/Linux installation, which does not suffer from the problem. It _is_ a matter of honor :) Any help is appreciated, but my primary objective is to find out whether I am the only person experiencing this problem. I run OpenBSD 3.9-release on an IBM Thinkpad T41 laptop with all file sets except bsd.mp. The relevant, installed packages are: esound-0.2.34p0 libao-0.8.5p2 libid3tag-0.15.1bp0 libmad-0.15.1bp1 xmms-1.2.10p6 I have tried increasing the buffer size and pre-buffer percent in Preferences - Audio I/O Plugins - MPEG Layer 1/2/3 Player 1.2.10 [libmpg123.so} - Configure - Streaming to as high as 4096 kb and 50%. It did not help. However, maybe these values only affect streaming (over networks). Don't know if it's related, probably not, but on my IBM T20 with 3.8-stable if I start up xmms from a URL in Firefox it freezes at the end of anywhere from the first link I click on to the 4th or 5th one. For example, if I'm previewing songs at emusic.com the first song clip will play through, but then by the 2nd or 3rd clip xmms will be locked up and not responding. I have to kill -9 it to continue. I've been meaning to troubleshoot but have had zero time. xmms works fine on mp3s from my harddrive. Greg
Re: php5-curl error: couldn't resolve host
From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] i'm trying to get the php5-curl-5.0.4p0 module working with some php code that's running on a 3.8-release machine. this code makes XML requests to UPS to get shipping costs and times. when the php attempts to use curl to contact the UPS web address https://wwwcie.ups.com:443/ups.app/xml/Rate , it craps out and gives an error: Error from cURL: Error [6]: Couldn't resolve host 'wwwcie.ups.com' i suspect this is an issue with running from inside the apache chroot, but do not know how to proceed and/or confirm this suspicion.

Think how programs on the computer find out what nameserver to use and this should lead you in the right direction. Or run httpd(8) under ktrace(1) (starting httpd in single-process mode makes this easier) and that should also identify it for you.

Temporary dmesg output buffer (I have no serial cable) ?
This might be a silly question, but I have to know. I want to get the full and consistent output of azalia.c with #define AZALIA_DEBUG. Naturally, all output does not fit into dmesg buffer. I do not have serial cable. I thought maybe its possible to malloc some sort of e.g. char arays' structure, put all DPRINT and printf (and the likes' ) output into it instead of writting it out into screen, and to write out the address of that structure at the end of loading of the driver into the screen so that it can be accessed later with custom program. This would not do the free(), but it not the objective. My question is - can this be done? I mean - are the any memory access protection mechanisms (as it the Puffy and as I am totally new to this)? I had been replacing the words of azalia ouput by some shorter strings (as well as removing all the removable hw from the board), but the ouput is still huge so thought it will be easier to ask before trying the output buffer. Thank you for the reading time.

Re: thanks to all the OpenBSD technical writers
On Thu, 18 May 2006 10:53:49 -0600 (MDT), Diana Eichert [EMAIL PROTECTED] said: One of the things I emphasize with people when I'm explaining to them why I recommend OpenBSD is the quality of the man pages. After reading yet another bunch of submits from Jason McIntyre I just wanted to give him and all the other developers kudos for their work. Ditto. :-) Besides the fine commitment to security, the man pages are *the* reason I like OpenBSD, so much. I don't like to criticize, but the man pages in Linux (all the distros I've dealt with, anyway) are beyond horrible. Most of them give you virtually no real information. It's as if you are expected to already know how everything works and the man pages are just there to act as a reminder. I really don't understand how Linux people tolerate the situation. And as good as Solaris and Alpha UNIX's man pages are they are still no comparison to OpenBSD's. Thank you, thank you, thank you, all OpenBSD developers. BTW, the state of Linux man pages is the reason you get so many newbies from Linux who are genuinely perplexed when people tell them to read the man pages. They deserve our pity not our scorn. -- Eric Furman [EMAIL PROTECTED]
