Calomel.org

2009-05-06 Thread James Peltier
There was mention of calomel.org recently.  This is a great resource, however,
it needs to be a bit more updated.  For example the following page advises
*not* to use the GENERIC.MP kernel, however, considering how much work has
gone into the MP work and fact that MP will become default I think it should
be updated. ;)

Well, depends on what you mean by off the shelf. Procera Networks is 
doing layer 7 analysis at 40Gbps FD with their PacketLogic PL10k. The 
hardware used for this is sourced from companies that anyone can by

 It's not the end of the world and for now I just changed XTerm

 I'm not sure where I should look to bring that behavior back.

see the allowWindowOps resource in the xterm(1) manual page.

 Hello community.
 
 I would want to use ypldap with our ldap server that work over ssl.
 The problem is how to change ypldap.conf to work with ldaps.

Hi,

There is no ldaps support in ypldap so far, the only viable way of
doing it is replicating with slurp and binding to a local ldap server
without SSL, we will make ldaps support available at some point.



Re: how to configure Grub 0.97 for booting my OpenBSD 4.5

 short version: the PBR read something, but it wasn't /boot.

 I'm not a grub expert, but obviously the PBR you are running
 isn't the one that OpenBSD put into place. B Some boot loaders
 do silly things like store a copy of the real PBR somewhere
 they think is cool, and when you reinstall the OS, the stored
 PBR doesn't get replaced when the real one is. B So now you have
 the old PBR reading ...something other than /boot

 If you replace your grub boot loader with a normal MBR and flag
 the OpenBSD partition as active, I bet the system will boot just
 fine.

 Alternatively, do whatever voodoo you need to do to tell grub
 there is a new PBR for it to use.

Problem with pf/nat (bug?) and aliases in internal interface

2009-05-06 Thread Cristiano Deana

Scenario:

int_if with two ip addresses in two differents lans  (192.168.20.254,
192.168.21.254).
more aliases in the external interfaces

nat rules: every 10 internals ip use an external address for the nat.

everything works fine, except for the second internal ip address. ip
from 192.168.21.0/24 are natted with rules of net 192.168.20.0/24

machines from internal lan use .20.254 or .21.254 as a gateway.
p.s.
both of them works, but second ones use wrong nat.

Hi all,

I am doing some trivial sound-recording on my Compaq Armada 110 laptop
(dmesg and mixerctl below). The sound device is

auvia0 at pci0 dev 7 function 5 VIA VT82C686 AC97 rev 0x20: irq 9
audio0 at auvia0
   
   for ac97 devices, the codec is also very important.  although the
   AD1881A looks pretty standard.  no jack sense or anything.
   
and it works without problems.

Now, the laptop has an internal microphone - that tiny little hole
you have seen on some laptops. It records fine, set up as

inputs.mic=255
inputs.mic.mute=off
inputs.mic.preamp=on
inputs.mic.source=mic0
record.source=mic

The laptop also has an input for an external mike (the usual small jack,
just next to the headphones output). When you plug in an external mike,
the audio chip is smart enough to record from that one, and no longer
record from the internal mike. (I use Shure SM57 as the external mike,
which I believe is irrelevant.) Recording with the external mike plugged
in works fine too, EXCEPT the signal level from the external mike is
much weaker, and I wonder why.
   
   maybe there is a separate preamp on the internal mic pin?
  
  Well, both mikes do respond to setting
  
  inputs.mic.preamp=off/on
  
  so I suppose either each has its own preamp,
  or there is just one mic preamp, pre-amping
  the one mike (int/ext) that is currently in use.
 
 yes, there is one preamp on the mic pin in the codec.
 
 but, there could be *external to the codec* preamp circuitry between
 the built-in mic and the codec.  the codec's datasheet explains how
 to do this.

   does changing inputs.mic.source have any effect?
  
  inputs.mic.source=mic0 is set by default and behaves as described.
  inputs.mic.source=mic1 is accepted and results in silence being recorded.
 
 then there is probably jack sense circuitry (again, external to the
 codec), that switches which mic is connected to the mic pin on the
 codec.

That explains it to me, thanks.
Recording works, I just wanted to understand this difference.

 Hello Ricardo,

 This is not a beginners' mailing list, people here expect questions to
 1. be very specific, and
 2. demonstrate that you have spent a lot of time trying to solve the
problem yourself, reading the documentation etc.

 Start with http://www.openbsd.org/faq/pf/index.html
 If you still need help, there are several books on pf, for example
The Book of PF (http://nostarch.com/pf.htm).

 Look back through the misc mailing list to see how specific questions
about pf are. When you have a specific question, the best help available
is right here.

 Thanks for this 'polite' reply.
 As I Said i spent some years away from Unix/Linux world,
 I worked with business intelligence this years.
 Now i AM back to network administration and  i got this Project to 
do.
 I used openbsd before version 3. I do like  it.

 This is my current senario.
 -  2 firewalls with 2 carp+pfsync that  Will handle 2 internet
connections,  1
 mpls connection, 1 lan to handle around 60 bus company that transport
2
 million users per Day, each user has your own myfair card. Each bus
has a
 system that store this data in a file. This files Will be imported to
Oracle
 later. After this import, there are a lot of specific applications
that uses
 this informations.
 - behind this 2 firewalls   we have around 30 servers: ( most Windows)
iis,
 file transfer servers,ws, and some other servers like some red hat
enterprise
 running Oracle 10g.
 - at the beginning the firewalls Will do Nat  + filter  + gateway +
mpd5+squid
 ( the fucking operators Who need Access to the Windows servers were
surfing on
 web from there. )
 - our applications has around 5,000 users per Day, but we have a lot
of web
 services and some etl process ( i dont have statistics about volume
yet)

 So that  is it.

 This is a great advertisement for OpenBSD, PF, and keeping things
simple in
 general, mind if I use it Ricardo?

 As for your original question, I wouldn't even try to convert your
iptables,
 especially using some magic tool to do it. Decide what you want your
firewall
 to do and start from scratch with PF. That way you will know it is
working and
 you will be able to maintain it reliably.

I can confirm this solved my X problem. And it was really really a slow X.
I added

Option MigrationHeuristic greedy

in Section Device.

I can confirm the problem, but it was not an X problem only...everything was
slow.
The problem was that my interrupts were up to 82.9%. Disabled acpiprt and
acpimadt in the kernel and it all works ok.

useful :-) would you be interested in adding some kind of license

then it could go into ports/packages.

  I thought of something like this:

 You've assigned an address on 10/8 to em0.  Delete that address from
 the interface if you don't want to have that route.  (If you're trying
 to have 10/8 on both ends of a tunnel then you need to back up and
 rethink what you're trying to do.)

[...]

 ifconfig em0 delete

 because this is a interface route and not deletable by route(8)
 unless you know the magic and the consequences.

Thanks Claudio and Philip. Now I see.

Re: X won't work

2009-05-06 Thread BOG BOG
May this is not the case but it might be possible to have many instances of the 
server ending with the same error.

Try killing all instances, and then try again.

If there are many instances, trying to start another one merely fails because 
there already exists /tmp/.X0-lock

From the bottom of the error message it seems it is a lock problem.

And then again may be this is not the case.

OT: 10GbE Physical Network Taps

2009-05-06 Thread J.C. Roberts
I need to collect raw throughput statistics without increasing latency
or reducing bandwidth on 10GbE fiber links, so most of the typical
methods are out of the question (i.e. like bridging, SPAN sessions on a
switch, ...). As far as my understanding allows, I believe the best way
to do this is with a physical network tap connected to monitoring
equipment. I figure folks running/maintaining OpenBSD firewalls might
be familiar with using physical network taps for deploying IDS/IPS since
using bridges on such systems is a Bad Idea (R)(TM).

I've found one company [1] which offers what I need, but I was wondering
if anyone can recommend a vendor of physical network taps?

Thanks,
jcr

Re: no init scripts, what is the best way to start dnsmasq

 I have installed dnsmasq on OpenBSD.

 It's best not to think of this in terms of SysV-style init scripts.  In
 OpenBSD, shell commands in /etc/rc.local get run at boot time, so all
 you have to do is put some command in there to launch dnsmasq in any
 fashion that you see fit.  So it would suffice to simply add a line with
 /usr/local/sbin/dnsmasq; however, for consistency with the way things
 are launched in /etc/rc, I generally do something like the following:
 
 ,--- /etc/rc.local ---
 if [ X${dnsmasq_flags-NO} != XNO -a -x /usr/local/sbin/dnsmasq ]; then
^^^

Ooh how lovely to see someone else doin this! :-)

For the archives - if used consequently, this way makes it amazingly
easy to start only certain services via /etc/rc.local; e.g.

$ sudo dnsmasq_flags= sh /etc/rc.local

while

$ sudo sh /etc/rc.local

would not start anything

(well, unless you have stupid names for the variables in your /etc.rc
that matches eported variables from the shell and sudo is set up to pass
these on. That should not be the case very often)

/Alexander

 echo -n ' dnsmasq'; /usr/local/sbin/dnsmasq ${dnsmasq_flags}
 fi
 `-
 
 ,--- /etc/rc.conf.local --
 dnsmasq_flags=
 `-
 
 This way, if you want to temporarily disable dnsmasq, you can simply
 remove the line in rc.conf.local or change it to dnsmasq_flags=NO.

OpenBGPD transparent-as issue

2009-05-06 Thread Tom Martin
Hi all,

At the moment we are running some tests to use OpenBGPD as a Route-server
instead of using Quagga. The first tests are very positive, but we are
facing one major problem. We tried our solution on OpenBSD 4.4 as well under
4.5. When we made one route-server, which means that we remove the private
AS to al the neighbors, and this not working under OpenBGPD. The
route-server can easily make an connection to a lot of quagga/cisco routers,
but when a OpenBGPD client wants to join we are facing the following error
on the server side:


May  6 17:00:01 openBSD4-5 bgpd[5747]: neighbor 192.168.113.100 (test.4):
received notification: error in UPDATE message, AS-Path unacceptable

At the client side we see a fatal error:

Apr 6 17:00:05 bsd bgpd[24969]: neighbor 192.168.113.1 (test): state change
Established - Idle, reason: Fatal error

When we use quagga as client the session is doing fine on both sides, even
with community filters. When we are using OpenBGPD we keep facing this
message until we are removing the following line: transparent-as yes. Is
this a comment problem, or is this a bad configuration of us?

Thnx for your fast reply.
It works very well and saved us a lot of configuration time! By the way do
you know why this isn't nescesary by using Quagga? (A little bit off topic,
but I am just wondering).

 I'll make a bulk check of the mirrors that haven't got 4.5 yet
 sometime soon and remind them to update their rsync inclusion
 lists. I'll give it a bit longer because some are probably
 still trying to fetch the release.
 

And there is a big difference between a mirror that is behind, and a
mirror that is providing you with something that is not what it
purports to be.

how to configure Grub 0.97 for booting my OpenBSD 4.5

2009-05-06 Thread 飞飞
Hi, guys,

I just install the OpenBSD 4.5, but my grub configuration can't boot it.
Before that, I use OpenBSD 4.2, it is a new installation, not upgrade.

The OpenBSD slice is in (hd0,2),when I use the OpenBSD 4.2, I use
chainloader to boot it:
root (hd0,a)
makeactive
chainloader +1
-
It works well with the OpenBSD 4.2,

But , if I use it to boot 4.5, I only get a error :
Starting up ...
Loading ...
ERR M


if i use this configuration to boot it :
root (hd0,a)
kernel --type=openbsd /bsd
boot

The screen will show me as these below:
, 0x200120:0x5c299c:0x102bc8, shtab=0x8c6140Strating up ...
panic: /boot too old: upgrade!

After run trace, get the same result :

After run ps, the result is null.

The Grub version is distributed with the Ubuntu 8.04 which is installed in
(hd0,6)

How to resolve it?

Thanks.



Re: Installboot to usb drive?

At 08:28 PM 5/5/2009 -0400, you wrote:


You are (probably) changing from sd0 to wd0, but that only messes up
your /etc/fstab file.


Good point!


Usual error is to forget that boot specified on the installboot command
line is not the one in the installboot directory or your current root
partition, but rather the /boot that exists on the root partition of the
target drive (i.e., the boot you WILL use, not the one that you already
used).


Confirmed. Here is what worked: First problem, I missed the '/mnt' for boot:

/usr/mdec/installboot -v /mnt/boot /usr/mdec/biosboot wd0

I used both sd0 and wd0 to make sure it would work, .. both indicated 
'cross-device install'? Am I correct that the boot *device* specified 
should be wd0, when the drive will be physically used as bootable?


Thansk!

 2. demonstrate that you have spent a lot of time trying to solve the

 Start with http://www.openbsd.org/faq/pf/index.html
 If you still need help, there are several books on pf, for example The

 Look back through the misc mailing list to see how specific questions

 million users per Day, each user has your own myfair card. Each bus has
 a
 system that store this data in a file. This files Will be imported to
 Oracle
 later. After this import, there are a lot of specific applications that
 uses

 - behind this 2 firewalls B  we have around 30 servers: ( most Windows)
 iis,
 file transfer servers,ws, and some other servers like some red hat
 enterprise
 running Oracle 10g.
 - at the beginning the firewalls Will do Nat B + filter B + gateway +

 This is a great advertisement for OpenBSD, PF, and keeping things simple
 in
 general, mind if I use it Ricardo?

 As for your original question, I wouldn't even try to convert your
 iptables,
 especially using some magic tool to do it. Decide what you want your
 firewall
 to do and start from scratch with PF. That way you will know it is
 working
 and
 you will be able to maintain it reliably.

OpenVPN destroys tun

2009-05-06 Thread Jason Dixon
So apparently OpenVPN is a douche of an application by
destroying/recreating any tun devices you ask it to bind to.  This
causes havoc with pf/altq if you queue on those tun interfaces.

I've asked on the openvpn-users mailing list if there's any way to have
OpenVPN avoid teardown of an existing tun(4) interface but nobody had
any useful answers (besides use the up/down scripts)... yeah, thanks.
Has anyone here used OpenVPN in server mode and overcome this?

Thanks,

help with getting kernel/userland back in sync

2009-05-06 Thread Robert Urban
Hi Folks,

I recently upgraded a 4.4 system to 4.5. I followed the Upgrade Guide, not using
sysmerge.  The upgrade went more-or-less ok.  After that, I wanted to install
the five patches on the 4.5 errata page.

I copied src.tar.gz and sys.tar.gz (for v4.5) from a mirror, unpacked them in
/usr/src, applied the first patch (libssl) and my make failed at some point with
errors.  I removed the /usr/src tree, and created it again from scratch.

I tried the make again (without applying patch) and it failed again, so I
concluded I need to sync with CVS.  This seems weird.  I would have thought the
src/sys tars would be clean...

I updated the tree from CVS using:

cd /usr/src  cvs up -r OPENBSD_4_5_BASE -Pd

as documented in release(8).

I repeated my attempt to make libssl, which was successful.  I applied the rest
of the patches, (aucat and 3 kernel patches), built a new kernel (GENERIC.MP),
installed it, and rebooted.

First I had to figure out that /sbin/ifconfig was hosed and rebuilt it. (it got
hosed/installed when I did the make install for /usr/src/sbin after building

Hello community.

I would want to use ypldap with our ldap server that work over ssl.
The problem is how to change ypldap.conf to work with ldaps.

I will appreciate any ideas.

Re: help with getting kernel/userland back in sync

2009-05-06 Thread Robert Urban
I'll answer my own question.

It seems it's not a problem of the kernel and userland being out of sync, but
rather /sbin/sysctl was hosed too.  rebuilt and problem disappeared.  I'm
guessing that either I had some junk in /usr/obj/sbin or the patch instructions
for libssl need to mention doing a make clean after cd ../../sbin.

 Hi Folks,
 
 I recently upgraded a 4.4 system to 4.5. I followed the Upgrade Guide, not 
 using
 sysmerge.  The upgrade went more-or-less ok.  After that, I wanted to install
 the five patches on the 4.5 errata page.
 
 I copied src.tar.gz and sys.tar.gz (for v4.5) from a mirror, unpacked them in
 /usr/src, applied the first patch (libssl) and my make failed at some point 
 with
 errors.  I removed the /usr/src tree, and created it again from scratch.
 
 I tried the make again (without applying patch) and it failed again, so I
 concluded I need to sync with CVS.  This seems weird.  I would have thought 
 the
 src/sys tars would be clean...
 
 I updated the tree from CVS using:
 
   cd /usr/src  cvs up -r OPENBSD_4_5_BASE -Pd
 
 as documented in release(8).
 
 I repeated my attempt to make libssl, which was successful.  I applied the 
 rest
 of the patches, (aucat and 3 kernel patches), built a new kernel (GENERIC.MP),
 installed it, and rebooted.
 
 First I had to figure out that /sbin/ifconfig was hosed and rebuilt it. (it 
 got
 hosed/installed when I did the make install for /usr/src/sbin after building
 libssl. I'm not sure why.)
 
 Now I get the following messages at boot (10 repetitions):

I remember successfully linking to my ldap server over SSL but cannot
check it now (test server and currently off). Maybe some other people

The only remaining problem as far as i can see is that one user cannot
login using that system if he is not in the passwd file (which makes
it slightly redundant then). If I am mistaken about that point, I'd

Pretty hard, but doable with special hardware according to some people
(eg not me, not my toys, just forwarding what I read about/know)

DAG cards come to mind:
http://www.endace.com/dag-network-monitoring-cards.html
which you can stick into most hosts, they sell various 10GE adapters and
claim it can do 10GE too. Linux/Windows/FreeBSD drivers available, thus
should not be too hard I guess to make an OpenBSD driver (that is
depending on documentation available etc...)

They claim to be able to even do 40Gbps:
http://www.endace.com/guaranteed-packet-capture.html
8
This foundation is totally agnostic, supporting Ethernet and
Packet-Over-SONET (PoS), IP and InfiniBand, guaranteeing packet capture,
regardless of packet rate and size, at interface speeds up to 40Gbps.

And I know for a fact that IBM ISS has a DPI thing which can do
40Gbps++, that is including upto Level 7 analysis... it just depends on
what kind of hardware one throws at it ;)

Re: DHCP versus PPPoE for ADSL.

2009-05-06 Thread David Walker
From:  Stuart Henderson
 I just added the address assigned to me into hostname.pppoe0:

 inet6 2001:4b10:1002:ff::1 64
 !/sbin/route add -inet6 default 2001:4b10:1002:ff::1

Hi Stuart.
Thanks for all the help.

I am curious, in pppoe(4) this example is given:
   inet 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 NONE \
   pppoedev ne0 authproto pap \
   authname 'testcaller' authkey 'donttell' up
   dest 0.0.0.1
   !/sbin/route add default -ifp pppoe0 0.0.0.1
So the destination wildcard is used as the route entry.
You have used the IP6 address assigned to your interface rather than
the remote IP6 address.
I must be missing something. Can you shine a light on that for me?

Also, considering my ISP is very reticent (for whatever reason) to
provide support for IPv6 do you have any idea of the wildcards for
inet6?
Getting IP addresses out of them is proving problematic. I suspect
they are ready but haven't got to the point for large scale
implementation. I would rather suck it and see than get support mail
referring me to Wikipedia.

Weird.  I ran an OpenVPN server on my OpenBSD gateway until just

Actually, that's one thought...  are you sure that the dev-type

that caught me off-guard about setting up OpenVPN on OpenBSD is that
OpenBSD's tap interfaces are actually called tunX, they just have the
link0 flag set.  (So you could properly end up with, e.g., dev-type
tap and dev tun0 in your OpenVPN configuration.)  Could be that if
OpenVPN expects one type of device but gets the other, it automatically
destroys and replaces it...

If that doesn't work, maybe you could try replacing the dev line in
your configuration with an equivalent dev-node line, just for the heck
of it.

Just a couple random shots in the dark, anyway.

You're missing the point.  I create the necessary tun devices at boot
with hostname.tun* so that we get no pf/altq load errors.  But as soon
as OpenVPN runs from rc.local, it destroys the tun device and recreates
it.  This breaks altq because the file descriptor (/dev/tun*) changes.

Having OpenVPN create the tun device does me no good.  I'd still have to
re-load pf/altq after the file descriptor is created.

tun or tap.

Well, you don't necessarily need to enable altq on the tun interface to 
get your packets queued. I did overcome this by making the queue on 
another interface, a physical one, and then making packets coming or 
leaving the tun interface to get queued on that interface. This works,

You don't understand the usage.  We have a remote office with a fixed
pipe and *all* of their traffic crossing the VPN tunnel to our office.
It's necessary to queue a fraction of the traffic crossing the physical
interface for this purpose.  We also perform queueing on the physical
interface that has a completely different usage model than the VPN
tunnel.

Please, let's not get off-topic.  It's a simple question... can you
start OpenVPN without having it destroy/recreate the tun interface.  If
you haven't used this, please refrain from commenting.

 I've asked on the openvpn-users mailing list if there's any
 way to have OpenVPN avoid teardown of an existing tun(4)
 interface but nobody had any useful answers (besides use the
 up/down scripts)... yeah, thanks. Has anyone here used
 OpenVPN in server mode and overcome this?
   
See persist-tun option.
  
   This only affects restarts, not the initial startup.
 
  The idea is that you pre-create tun device (possibly in startup
  script, or in /etc/rc.local) and then OpenVPN uses it.

 You're missing the point.  I create the necessary tun devices at boot
 with hostname.tun* so that we get no pf/altq load errors.  But as soon
 as OpenVPN runs from rc.local, it destroys the tun device and
 recreates it.  This breaks altq because the file descriptor
 (/dev/tun*) changes.

 Having OpenVPN create the tun device does me no good.  I'd still have
 to re-load pf/altq after the file descriptor is created.

Strange, I do not have such problem. But I'm not using altq there,
just some block/allow and NAT... Could you post your OpenVPN config?

Mine looks like this:

remote vpn.some.net 1194
proto tcp-client
resolv-retry infinite
persist-tun
dev tun2
dev-type tap
pull
ifconfig-noexec
up /etc/openvpn/some.up

(parameters related to authentication are excluded).

Up script just runs ifconfig for configuring (not [re-]creating) tun
device.

Right, this only really manifests with altq on tun(4).  There's no point

  Weird.  I ran an OpenVPN server on my OpenBSD gateway until just
  recently, and I'm 98% sure that it never did this to me.  Are you
  specifying both dev-type and dev in the VPN configuration?

 I'm specifying dev tun0.  Per the openvpn(8) man page, dev-type
 should only be used if the TUN/TAP device used with --dev does not
 begin with tun or tap.

 Were you actually using altq on your tun device?

  Actually, that's one thought...  are you sure that the dev-type
  setting in your OpenVPN configuration file and the configuration of
  your tun(4) device are either both as tun or both as tap?  One of
  the things that caught me off-guard about setting up OpenVPN on
  OpenBSD is that OpenBSD's tap interfaces are actually called tunX,
  they just have the link0 flag set.  (So you could properly end up
  with, e.g., dev-type tap and dev tun0 in your OpenVPN
  configuration.)  Could be that if OpenVPN expects one type of device
  but gets the other, it automatically destroys and replaces it...

 As mentioned, dev-type is unnecessary.  We have no problems with
 this configuration other than OpenVPN destroying the device at runtime
 which causes the file-descriptor to change, confusing pf/altq.

1. Did you tried specifing tunnel type?

2. tap devices exists on Windows and on Linux, but NOT on OpenBSD. So 
OpenVPN cannot determine device type via its name.

Well, you don't necessarily need to enable altq on the tun interface to  
get your packets queued. I did overcome this by making the queue on  
another interface, a physical one, and then making packets coming or  
leaving the tun interface to get queued on that interface. This works,  
and you won't have to deal with the tun interface being destroyed across  
openvpn starts/stops.



You don't understand the usage.  We have a remote office with a fixed
pipe and *all* of their traffic crossing the VPN tunnel to our office.
It's necessary to queue a fraction of the traffic crossing the physical
interface for this purpose.  We also perform queueing on the physical
interface that has a completely different usage model than the VPN
tunnel.

Please, let's not get off-topic.  It's a simple question... can you
start OpenVPN without having it destroy/recreate the tun interface.  If
you haven't used this, please refrain from commenting.

Thanks,

How does openvpn destroy the interfaces? IIRC they just close the fd and
that is causing the interface to be destroyed if it was auto created.

Did you try to ifconfig tunX up before starting openvpn? These
interfaces will not be auto destroyed on close and remain available.

seems in order

 argv_msg (M_INFO, argv);
 openvpn_execve_check (argv, es, 0, NULL);
 msg (M_INFO, NOTE: Tried to delete pre-existing tun/tap instance

 /* example: ifconfig tun2 10.2.0.2 10.2.0.1 mtu 1450 netmask 
255.255.255.255 up */

 if (tun)
   argv_printf (argv,
 %s %s %s %s mtu %d netmask 255.255.255.255 up,
 IFCONFIG_PATH,
 actual,
 ifconfig_local,

 argv_msg (M_INFO, argv);
 openvpn_execve_check (argv, es, S_FATAL, OpenBSD ifconfig failed);
 tt-did_ifconfig = true;

   Attempt to the comment of the developer. If you change this code, 
it'll probably break openvpn and it won't work. Either you accept my 
suggestion, that was a good and viable one, or you change this piece of 
code. By the way, don't forget to contact James (main openvpn 
developer), and tell that you have a better way, as he asks in his 
comment. Bet that wasn't roundabout.

no, all installboot does is install a tiny little program (biosboot)
in the PBR, and point it to the inode used by the file /boot.  So, it 
needs to know about which file boot will end up being /boot


It needs to know where to put it, it really doesn't care what driver 
will hook to the device after boot.  As the name implies, biosboot uses 
the bios, not the kernel driver.  Biosboot is finished with its job long 
before the kernel is even loaded (is five seconds long? :).


See faq14 for more info on how this all works.

You want something like:
/usr/mdec/installboot -v /mnt/boot /usr/mdec/biosboot sd0

assuming sd0a is mounted on /mnt and is your new disk.

(alternately: just boot install media, point it at sd0, and it will do 
the rest for you...)

PacSec 2009  CALL FOR PAPERS

World Security Pros To Converge on Japan

TOKYO, Japan -- To address the increasing importance of information
security in Japan, the best known figures in the international
security industry will get together with leading Japanese researchers
to share best practices and technology. The most significant new
discoveries about computer network hack attacks will be presented at
the seventh annual PacSec conference to be discussed.

The PacSec meeting provides an opportunity for foreign specialists to
be exposed to Japanese innovation and markets and collaborate on
practical solutions to computer security issues. In an informal
setting with a mixture of material bilingually translated in both
English and Japanese the eminent technologists can socialize and
attend training sessions.

Announcing the opportunity to submit papers for the PacSec 2009
network security training conference. The conference will be held
November 4/5th in Tokyo. The conference focuses on emerging
information security tutorials - it is a bridge between the
international and Japanese information security technology communities..

Please make your paper proposal submissions before June 1st, 2009.
Slides for the papers must be submitted for translation by October 1,
2009 (Which, oh so rarely, happens we are going to start asking for
them earlier :-P --dr).

A some invited papers have been confirmed, but a limited number of
speaking slots are still available. The conference is responsible for
travel and accomodations for the speakers. If you have a proposal for
a tutorial session then please email a synopsis of the material and
your biography, papers and, speaking background to  . Tutorials are
one hour in length, but with simultaneous translation should be
approximately 45 minutes in English, or Japanese. Only slides will be
needed for the October paper deadline, full text does not have to be
submitted.

The PacSec conference consists of tutorials on technical details about
current issues, innovative techniques and best practices in the
information security realm. The audiences are a multi-national mix of
professionals involved on a daily basis with security work: security
product vendors, programmers, security officers, and network
administrators. We give preference to technical details and education
for a technical audience.

The conference itself is a single track series of presentations in a
lecture theater environment. The presentations offer speakers the
opportunity to showcase on-going research and collaborate with peers
while educating and highlighting advancements in security products and
techniques. The focus is on innovation, tutorials, and education
instead of product pitches. Some commercial content is tolerated, but
it needs to be backed up by a technical presenter - either giving a
valuable tutorial and best practices instruction or detailing
significant new technology in the products.

Paper proposals should consist of the following information:

1) Presenter, and geographical location (country of origin/passport)
and contact info (e-mail, postal address, phone, fax).
2) Employer and/or affiliations.
3) Brief biography, list of publications and papers.
4) Any significant presentation and educational experience/background.
5) Topic synopsis, Proposed paper title, and a one paragraph
description.
6) Reason why this material is innovative or significant or an
important tutorial.
7. Optionally, any samples of prepared material or outlines ready.
8. Will you have full text 

XTerm resizing and 4.5

2009-05-06 Thread Hugo Villeneuve
Somehow, while upgrading from 4.4 to 4.5 on i386, I lost the ability
to resize an XTerm via the command resize -s rows cols.

It's not the end of the world and for now I just changed XTerm
default geometry to 132x48.

I'm not sure where I should look to bring that behavior back.

  What is the best way to do a surface analysis on a disk?

 There is, in the e2fsprogs package, something called badblocks.

 (Windows laptops  -- kinda redundant?)

 If you care about your data, follow Steve's advice.

 The reality seems to be that this does exercise a disk's ability
 to relocate bad sectors so that a bad disk suddenly goes good.
 This is using a destructive surface test  (badblocks -sw ...)
 Realistically, seems like the most reliable test is that disk is slower
 than it should be.

 Me, if I want to rely on a disk drive, I will run badblocks on it.
 The long-winded destructive test
 And I will time it, at least sporadically.
 (New disks are not immune from having problems ;-)
 The exercise maybe loses out to watching grass grow.

I also would recommend badblocks(8), but I would recommend
  badblocks -svn
instead of badblocks -sw.

badblocks -svn also (s)hows its progress as it goes along, but does a
(v)erbose (n)on-destructive read/write test (as opposed to either the
default read-only test or the destructive read/write test). You can
check an entire device with badblocks, or a partition, or a file. The
great thing about using badblocks to check a partition is that it's
filesystem-agnostic. It will dutifully check every bit of its target
partition regardless of what's actually on it. And if you give
badblocks -svn an entire storage device to test, it will not even care
about the actual partition scheme used. Because this read/write test
can trigger the disk's own built-in bad sector relocation, this means
you can even have a disk that you can't read the partition table from,
and running badblocks -svn over it may at least temporarily fix
things. And I've used badblocks -svn e.g. to check old Macintosh
floppies. Who cares that OpenBSD doesn't know much about the
filesystem on those? badblocks does the job anyway.

(Because of this agnosticism, it's actually questionable whether
badblocks(8) ought to be part of a filesystem-specific package, but
hey, that's what it comes in. Yea, one *could* also argue whether to
include it elsewhere by default because it's so useful, but I'm not
the one making those decisions and I guess the folks who do will do
what makes the most sense to them, so I don't feel like starting to be
a back seat driver... ;-)

Oh, and of course it would probably be prudent to do a backup before
read/write tests, even though badblocks is well-established and (with
-n) supposed to be non-destructive. Supposed to... ;-) I've never been
disappointed but YMMV.

will tell you what the error means.
http://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq14.html will show you how
the boot process works.  I'm going to assume you read that
before I expect you to understand this:

short version: the PBR read something, but it wasn't /boot.

I'm not a grub expert, but obviously the PBR you are running
isn't the one that OpenBSD put into place.  Some boot loaders
do silly things like store a copy of the real PBR somewhere
they think is cool, and when you reinstall the OS, the stored
PBR doesn't get replaced when the real one is.  So now you have
the old PBR reading ...something other than /boot

If you replace your grub boot loader with a normal MBR and flag
the OpenBSD partition as active, I bet the system will boot just
fine.

Alternatively, do whatever voodoo you need to do to tell grub
there is a new PBR for it to use.

  thanks for asking.
 
 Yeah, and I'm sure JC has equivalent resources of the acronym laden
 institutions you mention.  Do you have any idea how they capture
 packets at line rate?  I strongly doubt they are using off the shelf
 hardware, 

Well, a good number of the 10-Gbit/s Eethernet cards on the market
actually have dual 10GbE interfaces in one configuration or another.
The most typical configuration that *I* have seen is the two bonded
(20-Gbit/s) as a single logical interface with fail-over between the two
physical connections. In short, to capture a single card, you basically
need to be able to store 2-GByte/s *somewhere*

Yes, I'm intentionally skipping the overhead calculations and keeping
things overly generalized... --this is misc@ after all (;

On the more modern Intel chipset systems (X58), your memory bandwidth
is about 64-Gbyte/s from RAM to proc, so if you stuff the box with
128-GByte of ram, you can collect about hour's worth of capture in a
sizable RAM disk. Of course, 128-GByte of 1333-MHz RAM will set you
back about $15-20 thousand USD.

If you need more permanent storage (i.e. saved to disk), you only
have two options:

1.) A large stripe set of Intel X25-{M,E} devices. Both the X25-M and
X25-E SATA II (3.0 Gbit/s) can do about 250-Mbyte/s read/write, so a
RAID0 stripe set of 16 of them will get you to about 4-Gbyte/s.
Unfortunately, as far as *I* know, no SATA/RAID controller manufacturer
has a product that can support 16 SATA II drives, *AND* has a 16-Lane
PCIe Gen-1.0 interface (4-GByte/s), or 8-Lane PCIe Gen-2.0 interface
(also 4-GByte/s), or a 4-Lane PCIe Gen-3.0 interface (again 4-GByte/s),
so you'd be forced to use multiple controller cards and suffer a
performance hit. It would cost you about $12-16 Thousand USD to build
such a beast mainly due to the cost of the drives, but it's doable. For
your money, you'd get about 2500-GByte (16 * 160-GByte) of rather
volatile storage due to the RAID0, or about 21 hours of capture.

2.) Due to the absolutely insane prices of the hardware, your other
option for non-custom hardware doesn't really qualify as off the
shelf. The other option is to use a stripe set of Fusion-IO.com solid
state disks which can read/write at either 800-MByte/s (for the
320-GByte and below) or 1.5-GByte/s (for the 640-GByte and above
double disks) depending on the model you buy. The present capacity
limit is 640-GByte for their high end, double disk but that will hit
1.2-TByte by the end of the year (supposedly). Doing a stripe set
across a bunch of these is, ummm, and interesting endeavor due to the
fact they require very custom, closed source drivers and a system with
8-GByte of RAM per device. Oh, and according to what I've been told, if
you have a power fault, you're totally screwed due to the way the
mystery driver works. Though you can buy these things off the shelf,
it's a very high shelf. The 320-GByte capactity 800-MByte/s drives are
about $14,000 each retail, and you'd need at least four of the striped
together to surpass the 2-GByte/s rate of a single 10-GBit/s card (two
interfaces 20-Gbit/s).

Other than the three options above, I do not know of any other way to
capture 10 and/or 20 GBit/s Ethernet at line speed with off the shelf
components. Also, I'll be the first to say the above is a bit dodgy,
but it would more or less work if one can afford it. And yep, you're
very much correct; attempting capture at these speeds is good for a
chuckle and even the three cheap off-the-shelf methods above are not
really affordable for home use. (;

If anyone here mistakenly thinks they can actually run *ANALYSIS* at
these speeds with off the shelf components...

BAWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Diana, thanks for the link to the FPGA analysis stuff later in the
thread. I'll try to read it tomorrow, but the thought of someone doing
the *REQUIRED* over-clocking of a FPGA to get the needed throughput
sounds dangerously dodgy at best. Off the top of my head, other than
over-clocking a half-baked FPGA, I can't think of any other way they
could have done it without a serious performance impact on the link.

 but hey what would I know, I'm just a girl.
 

CORRECTION: ... just a girl with technical super powers, and a lab that
makes everyone very, very jealous.
