 Now, a lot of FTP servers tend to not like abort in the middle of transfer,
 especially when coupled with idiot firewalls. http transfers should be
 slightly better.

I'm not sure but the partial transfer appears to work with single
(versioned) files. I think I'm using (I'm not at the machine atm)
PKG_PATH=ftp://ftp.eu.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/.

Also I think it would be nice if the packages are dumped not into
the present directory but in the $PKG_CACHE that I have set.
This makes it convenient to export PKG_PATH=$PKG_CACHE:etc

 Strangely enough, pkg transfers over scp is the fastest, due to using
 a specialized protocol that avoids this set-up/tear-down altogether.

 So what you see is very much set-up/tear-down of connections, pkg_info
 actually uses very little bandwidth, but it has a high latency.

I'm not familiar with scp (never used it). Where's the list of scp mirrors?



Re: weird wscons behavior

2008-10-04 Thread Jesus Sanchez

Jesus Sanchez escribis:

Hi, using OpenBSD 4.3 up to date patched.
I think people should know about this.

lets say you're logged on ttyC0 as root,
you sends the command:

#sleep 5  wsconscfg -dF 1

this cmd waits 5 seconds and then destroys ttyC1
wscons.

if you change to ttyC1 (Ctrl+Alt+F2) in the 5 seconds
and waits until wsconscfg -dF 1 gets launched the machine
gets hung really bad. Same thing if you kill the focused ttyC*
from a ssh session. the system crashes.

Is this a known thing? or I found a buggy behavior?

-thanks for all.


I tried to reproduce the problem in other machines and
others versions of OpenBSD (from 4.1 to 4.3) and the problem
exists. Just a hung as described will cause the machine to stop
all daemons and activities, gets freeze. Only hardware reboot
makes it reboot.

This should be considered as a bug to try to solve??
please consider to take a fast look at this.

Thanks for all

WPA2 problems with iwi(4) and bwi(4)

2008-10-04 Thread Joe Gidi
I'm experiencing some serious difficulties getting WPA2 working with my
system. Situation is as follows:

Problem occurs with snapshots of October 1 and October 4. Have not tested
with 4.3 because WPA support for iwi(4) is only in -current.

Client is a ThinkPad T42 (dmesg below) with both iwi(4) and bwi(4)
wireless NICs. I am running the latest firmware for both NICs, 3.0p0 for
the iwi and 1.4 for the bwi.

AP is a 2wire 3800HGV-B VDSL2 gateway device with integrated access point.
There's a data sheet containing very little worthwhile information at
http://www.2wire.com/pages/pdfs/5100-000383-000_2W_Rev_B_0107.pdf

Unencrypted access and WPA/TKIP both work fine.

With both iwi(4) and bwi(4) devices, WPA2/ccmp will connect and stay up
for about a minute, generating lots of incoming errors. Sample 'netstat
-i' output is below. After a minute or so, the interface dies and 'netstat
-i' will hang until I 'ifconfig down' the interface.

I have tried specifying values for wpaakms, wpaciphers, and wpaprotos in
my hostname.if files, with the same results.

Please let me know if I can provide any additional information. I upgrade
to the latest snapshot every few days and will happily test any diffs.

network config files:

/etc/hostname.iwi0
inet 192.168.1.50 255.255.255.0 NONE nwid mynet wpa wpapsk \
0xdeadbeefdeadbeefdeadbeefdeadbeefdeadbeefdeadbeefdeadbeefdeadbeef

inet 192.168.1.60 255.255.255.0 NONE nwid mynet wpa wpapsk \
0xdeadbeefdeadbeefdeadbeefdeadbeefdeadbeefdeadbeefdeadbeefdeadbeef

netstat -i output showing ierrs on both wifi NICS:

cp error message Invalid character in program

2008-10-04 Thread Jack Woehr

I'm experiencing something with 4.3 I never experienced before,
or maybe I just wasn't paying attention.

In the following example, I'm trying to copy a file (wrongly)
in a directory I don't own and which is write-protected:

   cp factor.rex factor.rex.bak
   cp: factor.rex.bak: Invalid character in program

Invalid character in program??

rm also returns this when I use rm illegally. Was it always
like this?

pkg_add does that (assuming you actually export PKG_CACHE), but I
don't see why pkg_info would, given that it expects to only download
the start of the package file and not the entire thing.  Leaving
partial package files in your cache would be confusing, IMO.

Try `type rm` (is it not an alias to /usr/local/bin/gnu-rm or
something like that ?) and `strings $(which rm)` (does the binary
contain this 'Invalid character in program' string ?).

Also compare the md5 sum of your /bin/rm with the sum from a clean
install of 4.3 (assuming this is a -RELEASE version you're running).

$ echo $SHELL
/bin/ksh

ksh doesn't have builtins for cp or rm.

Perhaps, but /bin/rm and /bin/cp are staticly linked, so the message
would appear in the binary in some form.


 Anway:

   $ which rm
   /bin/rm

I presume your current directory is owned by root and not writable by you.


   $ whoami
   jax
   $ rm ccreply.rex
   override rwxr-xr-x  root/wheel for ccreply.rex? y

Since you're using ksh, try whence -v cp rm.

It's 4.3 release but I did rebuild from freshly checked out source.

Both the release and the checkout came from ftp3.usa.openbsd.org

So did my Sparc64 install and it does not exhibit this behavior.

I have built a lot of ports. Full jdk6, full kde, etc.

I wonder if I'm hacked.

$ ls -l /bin/rm

the faq solves your problem. Read it before posting. And read man pages 
also.


you have to put 'dhcp' on the /etc/hostname.ipw0

ITAD - Meeting IT Life-cycle Challenges to Maximize Value and Minimize Risk
By:  Todd A. Bone, Chief Executive Officer of XS International, Inc.

The amount of decommissioned IT assets is growing at an accelerated rate due
to the rapid advancement of technological change.  The resulting challenge is
determining how to capture additional asset value from this eWaste and avoid
liabilities arising out of data security issues and non-compliance with
legislative requirements. This paper explores life-cycle challenges and
provides insights into effective ITAD programs. The goal of an ITAD program is
to maximize return and minimize the risk associated with asset
decommissioning.

After the closeout of a program, we had a wide range of excess equipment.
XSi was able to test and remarket the equipment for us which provided a great
return of our capital investment.  XSi was honest and upright in their
communication.  The only large task we had to do was provide an inventory list
and ship the equipment to XSi.  They were even able to begin remarketing the
equipment before it hit their loading docks. Wire transfers were quickly
turned around and we were able to conclude our asset recovery task.  XSi
really did all the work for us on the recovery effort. - Franz Filicky,

Re: pkg_add interrupted by network dis connection, how to resume installation ?

 go to /var/db/pkg

 as root, do:

 # ls partial*

 the output are the partial packages you have to delete
 with pkg_delete

This is what I do since my pkg_add sometimes fails due to an unannounced
power outage or a network outage. (I have fixed both now)

# pkg_info|grep partial

Then delete it with 

# pkg_delete partial-foo...

But then sometimes power goes off when our good friend doesn't even get
time to register a partial install. Then you have to manually delete the
offending files.

# pkg_add foo 12 /tmp/conflict.txt

Then do a grep, cut and some other UNIX jugglery to get rid of the
problem files.

Best,
Girish
