Best way to automate administration of multiple servers
Hello all, I've been googling around for some answers and I thought I would ask the list as well. In the past I have used different compters for different tasks. I would have many different installs of OpenBSD on many different platforms. However, i am moving some stuff into a data center and am getting a blade server with 10 blades (up to 20 total). I have been playing with this and it is running great, but as each blade has exactly the same specs (same drive, ram, processor etc) I was wondering about improving my skills on handling a lot of identical computers on the administration side. There are basically three types of blade, database, app server and front end world facing (proxy, mail, dns). I want to automate handling them as much as possible and would like some list suggestions on reading materials, software, or web howtos. Examples of what I am after: 1) Create images or post install diffs so that if I need to add a blade to expand, I put it in, connect via the console, install via PXE and then download the diff - I know you can do this wth the post install scrips in OpenBSD's install script, but any real world use of this, things to avoid or good things to do? 2) Keeping 10 - 20 copies of OpenBSD up to the latest patch levels without having to do more than trial on one (for each type) and then for the rest type something as trivial as /bin/sh -x update.sh rotating through the servers and testing as you go? I can see myself spending two days a month otherwise doing upgrades on all the servers. 3) Guides on how to manage the logs of this many servers. Any experiences with splunk on this sort of environment, other options? 4) Anything else I should think about / avoid?

Hardware for PF - more general questions
I have been pondering for some time getting a new core router, and a recent question on HP Procurves vs Soekris boxes has kicked me into thought. I have some more general questions: I recall hearing tell (on here I think) that amd64 is a better arch for routing, because of better interrupt handling or somesuch. Is this true? I am under the impression that if I want to do BGP, I need 1GB of RAM for the routing tables and whatnot. Given RAM is so cheap, and I'd like some future-proofing, is there any use in getting 2G instead? Is PF capable of making good use of multiple processors with GENERIC.MP, or am I better off with a single faster CPU? With say a Pentium 4 CPU, am I better off with GENERIC and no hyperthreads, or GENERIC.MP and hyperthreads? I believe some of these questions have been addressed previously on this list some time ago, but I was hoping I could get away with asking again, on the grounds that the recent major changes to PF and resultant speed increases may have changed the answers. I'm currently looking at a Dell PE860 (1U, Quad core [EMAIL PROTECTED], 1G RAM) or a Dell PE SC1435 (1U, Dual core [EMAIL PROTECTED], 1G RAM). They're near enough the same price, so its just a question of what will be best suited to running PF. My ignorant thought would be that 4 cores is better than 2, but if PF only uses one core perhaps if the Opteron has better interrupt handling then AMD would be the better choice. Is it relevant that the Xeon has 2x4MB cache and the Opteron has 2x1MB? Hopefully I have started on the right foot by asking the right questions... Dave Wilson

OpenBSD/amd64 used to be worse than OpenBSD/i386 on the same hardware, I'm not sure about now - I haven't seen any recently published i386 vs amd64 results. I am under the impression that if I want to do BGP, I need 1GB of RAM for the routing tables and whatnot. Depends which routes you take. You probably want 1GB if you receive full routes. Given there's no cisco tax on RAM here, this is quite viable. :-) Given RAM is so cheap, and I'd like some future-proofing, is there any use in getting 2G instead? bgpd uses a bunch of memory during 'bgpctl reload'; my normally 100Mb RDE processes on full table routers rise to around 300M while that happens - free ram on a 1G RAM box drops to around 480M with views of 230k + 66k + 170k routes. (This lasts for a couple of minutes with 2700-line filters on an opteron 144). So 1G is fine for now. YMMV depending on distance between the router and hands capable of adding RAM :-) Is PF capable of making good use of multiple processors with GENERIC.MP, or am I better off with a single faster CPU? Single faster CPU / GENERIC. Is it relevant that the Xeon has 2x4MB cache and the Opteron has 2x1MB? Possibly, I only have single-core Opterons here so couldn't compare.

Separate subnets are another option but means doing more (and losing active connections) when you change between wired and wireless. You might use bridge(4) for an access point but that's somewhat unlikely with atu(4). :-) Just wondering regards, Girish

Re: identifying sparse files and get ride of them trick available?
Hi Daniel, Did you happen to investigate why rsync -S is taking so much time? If it doesn't deal with sparse file the way one expects, this option is probably broken. Also have you already tried something like the advice in http://lists.samba.org/archive/rsync/2003-August/007000.html ? Anyway, I think the way to go is using tar. It preserves the sparseness property of the files, so something like this could work: If you tar the file without using compression, you would get a file the size of the sparsefile, with a lot of zeroes in it. Then use a run-length encoding on it to collapse the zeroes. Sync this file with rsync. On the destination machine do it in reverse. Using pipes you don't even need the physical space of the whole sparse file, just the space requirement of the actual data in the sparse file; or transfer it immediately you don't need any space at all. Example (with a pseudo rle program): tar cf - sparsefile | rle -input - -output sparsefile.tar.rle The code for run-length encoding is there in zlib, but unfortunately compress/gzip doesn't have an option to use it. You'd either need to hack this in yourself, or use one of the many implementations found when searching for rle. This would give you the option to modify it, to just rl-encode the zeroes. David

There are at least two schools of thought on how one should manage
1 machine. cfengine is the most popular convergent tool, where you
specify an ideal state using a declarative language and the clients
iterate towards that state. radmind is the most useful congruent
tool, where you specify (or directly imply) the exact sequence of
operations that each client must perform to reach an ideal state.
I've used both approaches for years, and I greatly prefer radmind
both for its simple design and the implicit guarantees of
congruence. See below for references on each:

PF load balance: ipsec vpn + ftp issue
Hi Guys,
Hola..Good day!
I would like to ask for an advice about my
firewall/nat/pf box.
* network layout:
isp1|firewall|--switch| servers
isp2|nat/pf | | clients
* pf.conf - http://www.openbsd.com/faq/pf/pools.html ;
as my reference i just copy this config file and
change the macro:
lan_net = 192.168.0.0/24
int_if = dc0
ext_if1 = fxp0
ext_if2 = fxp1
ext_gw1 = 68.146.224.1
ext_gw2 = 142.59.76.1
# nat outgoing connections on each internet interface
nat on $ext_if1 from $lan_net to any - ($ext_if1)
nat on $ext_if2 from $lan_net to any - ($ext_if2)
# default deny
block in from any to any
block out from any to any
# pass all outgoing packets on internal interface
pass out on $int_if from any to $lan_net
# pass in quick any packets destined for the gateway
itself
pass in quick on $int_if from $lan_net to $int_if
# load balance outgoing tcp traffic from internal
network.
pass in on $int_if route-to \
{ ($ext_if1 $ext_gw1), ($ext_if2 $ext_gw2) }
round-robin \
proto tcp from $lan_net to any flags S/SA modulate
state
# load balance outgoing udp and icmp traffic from
internal network
pass in on $int_if route-to \
{ ($ext_if1 $ext_gw1), ($ext_if2 $ext_gw2) }
round-robin \
proto { udp, icmp } from $lan_net to any keep
state
# general pass out rules for external interfaces
pass out on $ext_if1 proto tcp from any to any flags
S/SA modulate state
pass out on $ext_if1 proto { udp, icmp } from any to
any keep state
pass out on $ext_if2 proto tcp from any to any flags
S/SA modulate state
pass out on $ext_if2 proto { udp, icmp } from any to
any keep state
# route packets from any IPs on $ext_if1 to $ext_gw1
and the same for
# $ext_if2 and $ext_gw2
pass out on $ext_if1 route-to ($ext_if2 $ext_gw2) from
$ext_if2 to any
pass out on $ext_if2 route-to ($ext_if1 $ext_gw1) from
$ext_if1 to any
- it works fine
* Q A
1. i try to add
nat-anchor ftp-proxy/*
rdr-anchor ftp-proxy/*
rdr on $int_if proto tcp from any to any port 21 -
127.0.0.1 \
port 8021
anchor ftp-proxy/*
but when i try to download through an ftp server it
say: 425 Security: Bad IP connecting. How can I
resolve this?
2. if there is an vpn ipsec and the its only configure
to route on $ext_if1, what do i need to add on my
pf.conf?
set skip on { lo $int_if enc0 }
pass quick on $int_if1 proto esp from any to any keep
state
pass quick on $ext_if1 proto esp from any to any keep
state
pass quick on $ext_if1 proto (tcp udp) from any to any
port 500 keep state
pass quick on $ext_if1 proto (tcp udp) from any to any
port 4500 keep state
Any advice? Thanks!
cheers,

Re: identifying sparse files and get ride of them trick available?
David Zeillinger wrote: Did you happen to investigate why rsync -S is taking so much time? If it doesn't deal with sparse file the way one expects, this option is probably broken. Also have you already tried something like the advice in http://lists.samba.org/archive/rsync/2003-August/007000.html ? It takes a long time because it needs to process the full files anyway. You can test that if you want to see it. Anyway, I think the way to go is using tar. It preserves the sparseness property of the files, so something like this could work: If you tar the file without using compression, you would get a file the size of the sparsefile, with a lot of zeroes in it. Then use a run-length encoding on it to collapse the zeroes. That goes against the first goal of the question to find the sparse files for example. And tar doesn't remove the use of resource to tar it anyway on either side and rsync also can use compression on the fly as well witch it is in use as well already. And I am not sure it would work anyway as if you think about it for a minute really. What's the difference to copy a sparse file via scp, rsync or untar it. Why would scp and rsync runs out of space to start with if they are copying empty space, or pointer to empty block and jam in the process??? If you think about that, why would tar does a better job? No I didn't try it and may be I will just to know, not as a solutions however. The solution is to not copy the sparse file in the first place when possible and that's what I am working on. The interesting question for me that still pending and that I do not have answer for is more this. If sparse file is pointers only to empty drive space not use, then why would scp run out of space copying empty pointers in the first place? That's really the interesting question this brings to me in the process here. There was more, but I got my answer to them so far. Sync this file with rsync. in my opinion, you only make the problem worst, however, I will need to test it to talk knowingly. rsync already compress it at the source and I proof in the various tests I sent to the list that it doesn't send more data across the link when -S is use, but only when it wasn't. So, tar it before wouldn't change that and this would only add more step to the process. Daniel

But when the entire disk (i.e. wd0c) is just acting as a storage backend and the svnd device is the front end, I don't think it matters. It's not like I'm going to be running newfs or fsck on the actual disk. Anyway, I have tried on the a partition too, but I get the same results. Like I said, everything works fine if I use the buffered device, wd0[ac], not rwd0[ac], but it is so slow. dd'ing to the unbuffered device is much faster than dd'ing to the buffered. That is why I thought I would try to associate the svnd device with the unbuffered disk device. Thanks for you input.

Update needed on Okean list/s for spamd.conf
I'm not sure which is the correct place to raise this, so a smack in the appropriate direction is fine. I noticed a bunch of suspicious grey listed entries in spamdb output. On checking the origins (122.136.48|49.x) I wondered why the China list didn't tarpit them immediately. Spamd logs showed quite a few lists: china, so I knew spamd was still in posession of some addresses. Checking http://www.okean.com/chinacidr.txt against www.openbsd.org/spamd/chinacidr.txt.gz showed that it is almost 14 months since the latter was generated. The Korea lists show a similar problem.

Now I again it is my opinion. Can you tell me what vlc can do that mplayer can't? rtp stream server. sound server output (in -current). playing mpeg movies in firefox. Have you tried to study mplayer's man pages, the html documentation and stuff? yes. it's a mess. how can e.g, mpg321 know that file.m3u is a playlist, but mplayer needs to have -playlist specified? and if -playlist is not specified, it complains about missing win32-codecs??? It takes a long time to learn but once learnt you start feeling that it is the best thing since sliced bread. actually, the more I use it, the less I like it. This article should give an idea. http://linuxjournal.com/9787 I see a statements like: It is a mature application that has no parallel.

Didn't you check out the menu option in my article? mplayer has a sexy OSD. :) Well any reasonable UNIX app should have an extensive set of command line controls and tweaks. Doesn't matter if it is multimedia. Even some web apps have the same parameters configured from the command line. that's pretty basic functionality of a media player, no? I agree. $ vlc --help | wc -l VLC media player 0.8.6c Janus 169 $ mplayer --help | wc -l 39 $ This is not apples to apples comparison. mplayer can play any media. In fact you don't need any other application. You can also stream with mplayer in an indirect way. It can play SIP urls and play Internet streams. You cannot run a media server. For that you can use darkice,liveice,shout* or even ffserver. Of course I tried vlc for this very purpose but I am sorry to say I was disappointed. The documentation asks me to use the GUI. I don't like that. I am sure you know this but still. mplayer can play a) audio b) video c) streams d) analog television e) digital television Now what remains? :) Have you checked the filters and plugins? It is mind boggling. And the tweakability with the input keys and commands? $ mplayer -input keylist $ mplayer -input cmdlist LIRC is pretty basic these days but mplayer is quite tweakable to one's taste and as a media player for UNIX this is what one would expect. yes, in -current the vlc port can be built with aRTs and Esound support, and it does use wxWidgets for the GUI. however, it does have a curses UI: vlc -I curses. But where is the documentation? Anyway I might be biased here. I don't like the smell of vlc. That is all. rtp stream server. sound server output (in -current). playing mpeg movies in firefox. mplayer plugin for firefox. Have you checked that out? I got that working for OpenBSD but for some reason it does not play sound most of the time. I hope some port of it is in the works... (maybe it is already there) yes. it's a mess. how can e.g, mpg321 know that file.m3u is a playlist, but mplayer needs to have -playlist specified? and if -playlist is not specified, it complains about missing win32-codecs??? Buddy, You are seriously mistaken here. The -playlist option cannot be avoided because mplayer expects a media file as input. You can get the best of both worlds with the -playlist option. Check out my article. You can invoke the input subsystem from a FIFO file. Really cool. :) But tvtime can do that too. actually, the more I use it, the less I like it. I have nothing to say here. ;) I see a statements like: It is a mature application that has no parallel. MEncoder, it companion video encoder program, does a much better job than FFMPEG in transcoding video, although it is a bit difficult to use and learn. that have no basis.

Did you know that? I have burnt my finger several times with it. There are plenty of bugs and there is hardly any tweakability there. It is very easy to goof up when you cut videos. It somehow does not get the mpeg keyframes and their integrity correctly. And it crashes and cannot handle audio resampling. It works sometimes but mostly I have to resort to some external application for it. mencoder is harder to use, but it is far more stable, feature rich and does what you expect. However this is not to say that mencoder can do everything that ffmpeg can do. I have heard that ffmpeg can record X11 events but I never got it to work. mencoder cannot. I am sure there are few corner cases where ffmpeg can do a better job but I don't remember right now. Nothing to beat ffmpeg in ease of use though. $ ffmpeg -i input.avi -target ntsc-dvd dvd.mpg takes any AVI input and outputs a DVD compliant NTSC mpeg2 PS. what is the mplayer equivilent? Check out the html documentation. It is far more readable than the man pages. Just to make my point I am yanking the relevant command line. $ mencoder -oac lavc -ovc lavc -of mpeg -mpegopts format=dvd -vf scale=720:480,\ harddup -srate 48000 -af lavcresample=48000 -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg2video:\ vrc_buf_size=1835:vrc_maxrate=9800:vbitrate=5000:keyint=18:acodec=ac3:\ abitrate=192:aspect=16/9 -ofps 3/1001 \ -o movie.mpg movie.avi You have examples for everything including what you ask. Just point your browser under OpenBSD to file:///usr/local/share/doc/mplayer/index.html and Enjoy! :) regards, Girish

MEncoder, it companion video encoder program, does a much better job than FFMPEG in transcoding video, although it is a bit difficult to use and learn. that have no basis. Why? because you do not say how or why it is better. are the options more sensible? is the compression better? is the overall output smoother? higher quality vs lower bitrate? what is better? how and why MEncoder does a much better job than FFMPEG in transcoding video? there is no comparison whatsoever between ffmpeg transcoding and mplayer transcoding. further, mplayer/ mencoder are heavy users of libavcodec/libavformat (FFMpeg libraries). that's what all those 'lavc*' options are. ffmpeg screws up the videos. Did you know that? I am the ffmpeg port maintainer. I use ffmpeg regularly for video capture and transcoding. it works quite well for me, and there are no outstanding bug reports for the port. I have never heard from you about ffmpeg screws up the videos. look, someone asked about playing media on amd64 and whether win32-codecs was important. this immediately made me think of mplayer because it really seems to want to use those blobs, so I offered some other options which I prefer, while you insist that mplayer is the be-all-end-all. no I don't write articles, but I do work on OpenBSD's multimedia ports. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] SDF Public Access UNIX System - http://sdf.lonestar.org

It will have it in future of course. :) because you do not say how or why it is better. are the options more sensible? is the compression better? is the overall output smoother? higher quality vs lower bitrate? what is better? To answer the above questions, I will try my best. I don't get what you mean by compression but options being sensible does not sound like something I can answer. I will still try. It does give me enough options to play with. Whereas ffmpeg hardly gives any. Overall output being smoother? It depends on the output driver. mplayer has support for a zillion output drivers. No other application can match in that respect. If you have xv support, I would think that mplayer can do a better job than any other application. It makes use of optimal memory/CPU resources. Even if you don't have xv support mplayer can do a good job. Since the options are rich. Higher quality vs lower bitrates? It depends on the CODEC and as you know both mplayer and ffmpeg use the same libavcodec library (more or less). But mplayer/mencoder supports a great deal more tweakability. Better is from many angles.:) I am the ffmpeg port maintainer. I use ffmpeg regularly for video capture and transcoding. it works quite well for me, and there are no outstanding bug reports for the port. I have never heard from you about ffmpeg screws up the videos. If it screws up the video, there is a problem in the algorithm and not in the port. I shall get back to you with bug reports in future. Also it is good to know that you maintain the port. Thanks. look, someone asked about playing media on amd64 and whether win32-codecs was important. this immediately made me think of mplayer because it really seems to want to use those blobs, so I offered some other options which I prefer, while you insist that mplayer is the be-all-end-all. no I don't write articles, but I do work on OpenBSD's multimedia ports. mplayer using blobs? I never want anyone to use blobs either. No one in this camp wants that. In fact in one of my first responses I specifically said that I could play without using the closed source drivers. Anyway let us move on. Nice talking to you. Best, Girish
Re: Poptop
Thanks Bryan, I haven't tried it on 4.1 and have nothing to compare. Would you please direct me to some actual information (openbsd where you don't need to recompile) or tell me what settings you have? - ppp.conf - pptpd.conf - ifconfig - what interface(s) you use for VPN and LAN and how you set them up (maybe hostname.if) Cheers, David 14 nov 2007 kl. 22.01 skrev Bryan Irvine: Should be the same as in 4.1. A tip though, use a different IP range not in use on your LAN. I had issues with machines not knowing where to route before I did that. --Bryan On Nov 14, 2007 12:00 PM, David Brohall [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Does anyone know a working poptop howto or have some configuration files that works for OBSD 4.2?
