 Hello misc@,

 Sometimes my laptop goes into standby when I close the lid, but not

 Under windows I have changed this behaviour so that I must manually
 enter standby and press the power button to exit it. Is there any way
 to get the same effect in OpenBSD?



That said, I configure my Dell Inspiron 4100 BIOS-wise. I don't know
what lurks in the shadows of your BIOS config.


It's a Dell Latitude C600 with BIOS revision A23. Thanks for the hint
actually, just switched into the BIOS (while running the system, go go
Dell :) and found the option to disable suspend-on-lid-close.


Yeah, the setup-while-running is a sweet feature. :-)


I forgot to mention that I did read about apmd -a, which says:
BIOS-initiated suspend or standby requests are ignored if the
system is connected to line current and not running from batter-
ies (user requests are still honored)
On Windows it seems that it ignores standby requests from the BIOS
unless you select the option that does that. I guess I was looking for
a similar feature in OpenBSD. Notice that the the apmd -a doesn't work
when running from batteries, which doesn't work for me.
Anyway, it seems that problem is solved though, thank you.

None of this so far has addressed the issue that when I open the lid
it turns back on. I don't understand the details of opening the lid.
My best guess is that the BIOS wakes up the OS and loads it back into
RAM if neccessary. Perhaps Windows gets away with it is by, when it is
woken up, checking how it was woken up and if by the lid it turns back
off; I would not be surprised to find such a hack from microsoft. I
was hoping it was not a hack though and OpenBSD would be capable of
something similar.


I have not thoroughly examined all this, but I would probably have the 
same results here. I am quite satisfied with my current setup.


Oh - if someone could tell me how to disable the power button, which 
immediately kills the machine, I'd be very happy... :-}

 following is a list of valid channel sets:

   cableirc U.S.A. Cable IRC
   cablehrc U.S.A. Cable HRC

I want to be able to change channels while capturing video off the card.

Does anyone use their OpenBSD boxes to capture video without using any X

video off bktr(4).

Replacing a failed HD in a raidframe array

I previously had a bit of trouble with my raid array. That is now cleared 
up and I need to replace one HD of the mirrored set. Never having done 
this I thought I'd check here to see if there was any advice on HD selection.


Natrually the replacement HD will have to be at least the same size as the 
original. But are there any restrictions on HD geometry?


It naively makes sense to me to try match things as closely as possible. 
Or am I way off base here?

 Essentially I'm looking for a very simple daemon that can monitor
 services on several machines and trigger pfctl when the availablity of
 the services changes.

 It's been suggested to me that the Linux-HA/heartbeat package may have
 what I'm looking for, but from what I can tell it's never successfully
 run on OpenBSD.

 CARP is superior to that script-driven unmaintained garbage for the HA
 functionality. Other functionality can be met by other means...

Using heartbeat for several years on linux makes me comfortable in
stating clearly: stay away from it - it's rubbish. Haven't looked at
heartbeat2, though.

 Any thoughts, suggestions or pointers would be very appreciated.

 monit comes to mind, although I've never used it but I think you can write
 event handlers for service states.

Oh, didn't know that one, thanks. I once used 'mon' on linux which seems
to be no longer maintained.

Sector size is all that matters. Must be greater than or equal. The
unused space is truncated. I don't beleive the other geometries matter
-- except that your partitions must lie on cylinder boundries.
Different geometries will mean you will end up wasting a few sectors.
Example below.

You're fine. When I run out of spares i do a lot of research and buy
bulk of new disks, and begin transitioning as they die, or more
commonly (as i did in example below) just transition my data to a new
raid (using backups!!), and use the old disks as spares again.

With most raid levels, you're only as efficient as your weakest link,
so theres no point in buying an exceptionaly faster disk of the same
geometry unless you replace them both.

Will H. Backman wrote:
Is this a sane minimum configuration for spamd -g on a transparent

1. Create bridge with no IP's.

3.  Simple three line /etc/pf.conf:

ext_if=xl0

rdr pass inet proto tcp from !spamd-white to any \

pass in on $ext_if route-to lo0 proto tcp from any to 127.0.0.1 port

The third line of pf.conf was inspired by the example given here:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=openbsd-miscm=108089194621750w=2
I'm not sure if my modifications for this situation are correct.


Replying to myself:
Would the above rules also trap outbound connections from my MTA?
I would want my MTA to be able to make outbound connections through 
the bridge.
Should I add something to the rdr line to only redirect connections 
coming into the bridge?

Maybe rdr on $ext_if pass inet...


I think I have the answer now, thanks to those who replied to me.
1. Create bridge, but you need an IP because spamd needs to talk back.
2. Add pf=YES and spamd_flag=-g to /etc/rc.conf.local
3 Simple /etc/pf.conf
table spamd-white persist
rdr pass on egress inet proto tcp from !spamd-white to any port smtp 
- 127.0.0.1 port spamd

pass out route-to lo0 proto tcp from any to 127.0.0.1 port spamd

Place this system in-line between Internet and your Mail Server.
Your Mail server should be connected to the bridge interface that 
doesn't have an IP.
Now when a new SMTP connection comes in, it gets redirected to spamd and 
greylisted.
When spamd eventually puts the outside MTA in spamd-white, connection 
just passes through the bridge unmolested.
Your Mail Server should always be able to send outbound SMTP without 
being caught in the rdr rule.
As far as I can tell, no need to allow forwarding between interfaces, 
because traffic passes through over the bridge.


Now to see if this setup help more than it hurts.

I have a bktr(4) card with an onboard NTSC tuner.  I can't control
the bktr(4) setup channel and broadcast type because there is no radio(4)
device attached, probably? because the auto-detect of the tuner failed?
My plan is to pull the card, and verify what tuner is on it.  Then build a
new kernel based on GENERIC adding option BKTR_OVERRIDE_TUNER and possibly
option BKTR_OVERRIDE_CARD to see if I can get a radio(4) device attached.

My purpose in going through all this is to capture video on my OpenBSD

Try the fluxbox window manager.  You can tabify any window by 
center-click + dragging one on top of another.  Typically I'll have a 
bunch of xterms tabbed together, and on another desktop I'll group 
together larger windows (such as a single full-screen window containing 
Firefox running in one tab, and Acrobat Reader in another).


Alternatively, KDE comes with a multi-tab capable terminal, but I prefer 
something much lighter weight.

Denial of service via FD exhaustion

2006-08-04 Thread Alex Brodsky

Hi,

The following is a known issue, from at least 2002, but I am not sure  
how it was resolved.


Problem:  The default configuration of OpenBSD allows any user to  
incapacitate the machine by exhausting the kernel's file descriptor  
(FD) table.


By default the kernel allocates 1772 FDs (kern.maxfiles).  OpenBSD  
allows limits to be placed on the number of FDs a process can use and  
the number of processes a user can run.  Hence, the number of FDs  
that a user can allocated is max_processes x max_num_fds_per_proc,  
which greatly exceeds 1772.


When all FDs are used up, not new process can be created, no one can  
log in, and no files can be opened by running processes.  That is,  
unless the offending processes are killed, the system has to be  
rebooted, which cannot necessarily be done in a clean manner if no  
one else can log in.


While the brute-force solution is to simply increase the size of the  
kernel's FD table, I am more interested in the rationale behind the  
present default configuration.


Namely,

1) If a user can bring down the entire system in its default  
configuration, is it reasonable to call the system ``secure''?


2) To whom should I direct this query?

3) Apart from increasing the size of the FD table, further limiting  
the number of processes that users may run, and further limiting the  
the number of FDs a process may allocate, what other measures can be  
taken to avoid this issue?


As an aside, I experienced this DoS problem first hand due to a bug  
in a the Dovecot IMAP server 1.0-beta3.

firewall-2 connected solely to switch-2, forgo the trunk(4), and just 
use carp to detect if either of the switches has failed, and fail over

Am I making sense?



I'm not entirely sure what you intend to achieve, but carp doesn't cross
switches (it works on the local Ethernet segment).
  
Really? I guess I don't understand enough about how carp works. I didn't

Hello Jeff,

 Misc,

first of all: my name is Hagen... :-) I have one account for every
mailing list and I cannot change display name
(exchange disadvantage)... ;-)

 Please make sure to update the firmware on your wrap, as you hadn't
 mentioned it. pcengines.ch walks through this. It is quite simple. The
 tinybios revision is usually (..always) out of date. Some features
 listed in the tinybios that come on the wrap don't always work, or
 work correctly.

Thanks for your tip, but I have tinyBios 1.11 installed (the last
one mentioned on pcengines site). I created a new etherboot image
because of an pxeboot bug. So everything should be up to date. I
created mbr several times on two cf cards - fdisk / installboot.
I wasn't able to change to lba mode. I don't know why (I changed
wrap bios settings also). There is always the ;... :/
I don't where I made a mistake (if there is one). I haven't found
a site where someone was able to boot a wrap system without using
C/H/S. Looks like openbsds bootloader isn't able to boot a wrap
system in lba mode. I'm only wondering why freebsd / linux seems
to be able to.
I'll go ahead building my system (basing on flashdist), perhaps
I'll try to get rid of the C/H/S problem afterwards.

 Good luck, let us know how it works out?

I think I'll need that... ;-) Let me know if you have further
tips / ideas. I'll let you know if I found a solution.

 same card. Correct me if im wrong.
 

OpenBSD can display different C/H/S if you use it on USB and then direct
on an ATA bus.  The USB chip provides a completely different geometry
than the ATA firmware on the CF card does.  That is not just because you
are using it on two different machines, it's because the USB controller
supplies different information than the actual CF card does over ATA.
If you use a PCMCIA-CF adapter, you'll always get the same geometry that
you get on a Soekris because in both cases OpenBSD can talk to the CF's
ATA firmware directly.

Just because flashdist asks for C/H/S doesn't mean that the image be applied
to a card with that exact C/H/S.  This was the case before OpenBSD switched
to the LBA based MBR.  Now, as long as the CF image fits on the card, it should
boot.

 If you grab a copy of INF-8090.pdf, have a look at Appendix E.
 It would probably require a little bit of programming, but
 if you want to do this nicely, it appears to be the right way.

That doc says that:

Current ATAPI implementations do not support queuing nor
overlap, so the immediate mode must be used.

and that: 

The Immediate mode allows the host to periodically poll the
device to find events and examine status. 

So it sounds like no matter what you have to poll for the disk being
inserted.  It MAY be less work for the system if that feature were added
somewhere and then hotplug (or something) were notified, but for my
purpose, when not burning disks there is plenty of CPU so for now
while [ true ]; do burn_disc; sleep 3; done
is a good enough solution.

Re: WPA support / creating a cf image

2006-08-04 Thread openbsd misc
 I understand this is a problem of target systems translating C/H/S
 values differently. There is no problem in dynamicly using OpenBSD's
 idea of C/H/S values at build time. However, OpenBSD on two different
 machines can provide completely different C/H/S values on the exact
 same card. Correct me if im wrong.

 [...]
 
 Just because flashdist asks for C/H/S doesn't mean that the image be
applied
 to a card with that exact C/H/S.  This was the case before OpenBSD
switched
 to the LBA based MBR.  Now, as long as the CF image fits on the card,
it should
 boot.

It should boot, but it doesn't.  I'm using a WRAP system and:

[...]
Using drive 0, partition 3;
Loading;.
[...]

For some reason I cannot use LBA (even if I switch in WRAP bios). I
wasn't able to figure out how. If I use your script everything is
working...
What I don't understand is, why other systems work (m0n0wall for
example).
Any idea?

Re: WPA support / creating a cf image (SOLVED)

2006-08-04 Thread openbsd misc
I got it working now. Looks like the wrap system simulates some kind
of C/H/S in lba mode. OpenBSD is still telling me that I'm in C/H/S
mode:

Using drive 0, partition 3;
Loading;.

But more important is that:

01F0 Master 848A SAMSUNG CF/ATA
Phys C/H/S 1010/16/63 Log C/H/S 505/32/63

The log values seems to be identical on every CF card (except Cylinder).
My two CF cards are totally different:

128MB - C/H/S 498/16/32
512MB - C/H/S 1010/16/63

I'm able to boot both cards with the sme image (created with the
flashdist
wrapper script - gzip image - written with phydiskwrite under windows).

I set cylinders to 60 to get an 60MB image and everything is working
fine now.

Btw, why do I not need to change the bios setting for the m0n0wall
image?
Any idea?
