Hello,

I did. It's consuming some 90 Watts at idle.
Actually, it's an Athlon but the latest Sempron has an even reduced TDP.
My next server will be based on it.
Actually even 70 Watts is a little bit high for my next server given the fact

Re: loops on rstp and firewall bridging

2010-02-08 Thread Miguel Araujo Pérez
Hello again,

I am still having the same issues trying to figure out how to set this scenario
up. Could you please help me with RSTP bridging? what am I missing?

Thanks, sincerely
Miguel Araujo

Hello everyone,

I have two machines with OBSD intalled on them. Both will be firewalls
filtrating traffic from a DMZ. I need to avoid single points of failure, so
the whole architecture is redundant. This is a simple diagram of
my architecture:

DMZ   DMZ
|  |
FW1    FW2 
|  \  /|
|   \/ |
switch1--  ---switch2
|  |   
internal network

Both OBSD machines will be used as firewalls running PF. I am creating a
bridge in each firewall. Creating a /etc/bridgename.bridge0 that contains:

add vr0
add vr1
add msk0
stp vr0#I'm pretty sure this is done by default
stp vr1
stp msk0
up

Both firewalls are connected to both switches. These are Dell 2816 with
RSTP activated on all ports. From time to time I get loops and traffic
raises and collapses my testing network bandwith. This points that Spanning
Tree is bad configured, but I don't know what I'm missing.

I don't know what to look for. brconfig shows bridges are running on rstp
and the interfaces are in learning mode. The rstp roles are automatically
set and look correct. On the other side, my Dell switches have rstp
activated.

Packet Filter is not activated yet. Any way to find out what is going 
wrong here? pointer to good up to date how-tos on bridge firewalling?

Thanks, regards
Miguel Araujo

 Regards

Nick is right, numbers should speak.

Parameters at the time of measuring:
MB: GA-MA74GM-S2H rev1.x (no idea about TDP but according to [1] should be
low)
- unneeded MB components turned off, check my previous dmesg
- integrated GPU core slowed down from 400MHz to 200MHz
- Cool'n'quiet enabled in BIOS
CPU: AMD Sempron LE-1150 (TDP 45W)
- undervolted from 1.2V to 1.00V
- passive cooling
PSU: Enermax 400W Liberty (no data for this model but it's bigger brothers had
efficiency around 78% for 114W AC [2])
RAM: 1 stick of 1GB DDR2 800MHz
HDD: 3x 1TB, 2x 500G (4 Hitachi and 1 WD Green)
other: 1 low rpm 12cm system fan, no keyboard, no display

I measured my setup couple of times while setting it up. Numbers are from
memory, may not be accurate. Besides, I used a cheap powermeter, meaning the
absolute values are probably off but the deltas could be somewhat trusted:
1. On boot with everything on and no udervolting of CPU the AC wattage was
somewhere around 150W.
2. Undervolting the CPU to 1.00V and playing with the BIOS shaved off some
20-30W.
3. Setting the Hitachi drives to low power idle reduced the power draw for
another 20-30W, at the time the system was idling at 70-90W.
4. Putting the drives into sleep mode got the system under 70W. I'm not using
this atm, had some problems with long delays while waking up the drives.

All of that was without apm -C, basically the CPU was running at full speed.
For testing apm -C I was lazy and relied on temperatures.
1. Temperatures at idle with apm -C
hw.sensors.it0.temp0=28.00 degC
hw.sensors.it0.temp1=33.00 degC

2. Temperatures at idle with apm -H (from memory and different season)
hw.sensors.it0.temp0=34.00 degC
hw.sensors.it0.temp1=38.00 degC
Couple of degrees difference should mean at least couple of W difference.

Regards, Daniel.

firewall / ftp-proxy problem

2010-02-08 Thread suomi
Dear Listers

The installation here is

OpenBSD 4.4 (GENERIC) #1021: Tue Aug 12 17:16:55 MDT 2008

On this OpenBSD we essentially have a pf firewall and an ftp Proxy
running. The ftp Proxy transfers to an internal ftp server.

So far, everything worked OK. Then, a fortnight ago, we started to change
the backbone ISP, so we had to change IP addresses. That's were trouble
started:

ftp access from the Internet is limited to approx two  days after a system
reboot, e.g. I rebooted the system the day before yesterday, then
everything was fine, from the Internet we could open connections to the
ftp server at our wish. But from this morning, from the Internet, no ftp
connection to the ftp server is possible any more.

I usually do a traceroute on the pflog of the firewall to check to see,
whether the packet, which initiates the call to the ftp proxy, passes OK.
Yes, it does pass the firewall.
Behind that, I do a ktrace/kdump of the corresponding ftp proxy process,
and yes, the ftp proxy does NOT react on any incoming call.
I then connect to an outside host (which is in the same subnet like the
external interface of the firewall) via ssh, and, no problem, from there,
ftp connections to the ftp server via the firewall are possible.

The firewall configuration is as follows:

[r...@firewall ~]$ firewall.sh nat
no nat on rl0 inet from any to 192.168.97.0/24
nat on rl0 from ! (rl0) to any - (rl0:0)
nat-anchor ftp-proxy/* all
rdr-anchor ftp-proxy/* all
rdr pass on vr0 inet proto tcp from any to any port = ftp - 127.0.0.1
port 8022
rdr on rl0 inet proto tcp from ! unwanted_ftp to any port = ftp -
127.0.0.1 port 8021
[r...@firewall ~]$

The last rdr rule does the  forwarding from the hosts we allow access from
the ftp port to port 8021 on the localhost, where the ftp proxy listens.

r...@firewall ~]$ firewall.sh rules
scrub in all fragment reassemble
block drop in log all
block drop in log quick on rl0 proto tcp from unwanted_ftp to any

pass log quick on rl0 inet proto tcp from any to 127.0.0.1 port = 8021

block drop in quick on ! vr0 inet from 192.168.97.0/24 to any
block drop in quick inet from 192.168.97.2 to any
block drop in quick inet6 from ::1 to any
block drop in quick on lo0 inet6 from fe80::1 to any
block drop in quick on vr0 inet6 from fe80::216:17ff:fe6e:dc0e to any
[r...@firewall ~]$

the fifth line allows packages on port 8021 to pass through.


The first dump shows, that the connection from the host in the same subnet
as the external interface of the firewall, is possible:

[myu...@otherhost ~]$ ftp ftx.mydomain.com
Connected to ftx.mydomain.com (aaa.bbb.206.130).
220-- Welcome to Pure-FTPd [privsep] [TLS] --

ftp quit
221-Goodbye. You uploaded 0 and downloaded 0 kbytes.
221 Logout.
[myu...@otherhost ~]$


Now, I move a workstation down in the Internet doing a dial-up.

I get the IP Address ccc.ddd.217.153, which is not in unwanted_ftp:
[r...@firewall ~]$ grep ccc.ddd.217.153 /etc/unwanted_ftp
[r...@firewall ~]$

then I invoke ftp from the above address:

r...@rosetta ~]# ftp ftx.mydomain.com
ftp: connect: Connection timed out
ftp quit
[r...@rosetta

Meanwhile, on the firewall I peep into the pflog:

tcpdump: listening on pflog0, link-type PFLOG
Feb 08 12:18:53.483352 rule 4/(match) [uid 0, pid 15736] pass in on rl0:

NOTE that tcpdump records a bad checksum in the respective packet. But
this bad checksum is in the pflog and not on the interface as far as I
have been 

snort on openbsd with PF

2010-02-08 Thread Paolo Supino

Hi

  When snort on the external interface of an OpenBSD firewall, which 
scenario will be the one happening:
1. Snort captures all incoming traffic before it reaches PF (there's 
also NAT on the external interface).
2. Snort captures and analyzes only traffic that the firewall let 
through on the interface.

Read_Write buffers for dd WAS: little cp diff

2010-02-08 Thread Sean Kennedy
Moving this to m...@...

Would part of this discussion usefully related to such issues like using 'dd'
for diskwipes/copies/reformatting and slow data movement speeds?

There are times when I am wiping (for reuse) hard disks using 'dd' and I set
the BlockSize to  512 (like 1M or so sometimes)
and the transfer speeds are quite a lot slower than for using 'dd' on some
other Operating systems. (Linux or Windows)

Mind you, for a lot of this, I am using oBSD RamDISK, so I am not anticipating
a full-fledged OS support for the ATA or SCSI or USB2 platforms. But for those
systems where I am using -stable or -current,  the speeds are still comparably
slow.

I concur with Theo's point on portability and making a sysctl for kernel is
hazardous, but what am I seeing in the above for 'dd' that would be causing
the poor performance?
(* BTW, I am using  if=/dev/zero for the baseline, other if=/...'es may have
lower performance as an input for compare*)


Just my 2 cents.

Well, for starters, different os, different caching behaviour.  You
should read from and write to the raw device, sync and use the actual
elapsed time. Even then your measurement might be influenced by
caching.

# sync
# time (dd if=/dev/rsd0a of=/dev/null bs=1m  sync)  
133+1 records in
133+1 records out
139797504 bytes transferred in 1.558 secs (89709129 bytes/sec)
0m1.56s real 0m0.00s user 0m0.07s system
# 

OTOH, we do use a smaller size of the physical writes than other OSes.
So a lower performance for modern hardware is not really a big
surprise.

In my experience, a bs of 64k is about as big and fast as you'll get. Setting 
bs larger than that may make dd a tad faster, but not much.  Also, when IO 
errors occur with a larger bs you'll drop more data than you would have using a 
512 byte block. Some modified dd's, such as ddrescue, set larger blocksizes 
initially in an effort to increase speed, but revert to 512 bytes upon IO 
errors.

 still there.
 

I just commited something that may be the reason for you IPv6 issues.
Unbreak IPv6 local address lookups. Some idiot aka me optimised a loop and
because of that either the IPv4 or IPv6 local address was not set. Because
of this prefixes were sent out with all zero nexthops.

Could you give it a spin?
I still try to reproduce your problem but am unable to do so. Could I get

Re: flags for wd timeouts?

2010-02-08 Thread Brynet
Hi Roger,

Not entirely sure what is causing your problems, but there are several
options in your BIOS that are worth investigating.

http://www.supermicro.com/manuals/motherboard/HT2000/MNL-H8DSP-8i.pdf

Plug  Play OS
(might be worth setting this to No)

KBC Clock Source
(try 8MHz)

S-ATA Mode
(IDE/MMIO or RAID, see if OpenBSD's behaviour changes)

ACPI Version Features
(1.0/2.0 or 3.0)

Another issue may be the UDMA mode, change wd again via UKC and
specify the flags 0xdfc (UDMA5,PIO 4).

Just some suggestions, which you may have already tried.

-Bryan.

 Thank you for the clear answer. Anyway, trying to act on tcp.sendspace
 isn't affecting the upload capabilities of my OpenBSD server.
 I tried downloading a file through httpd, via ftp but results are
 still disappointing: 60-70 kbps between two boxes on the same switch.

 The box is going to become a webserver, could you please give me more
 hints about tuning network performance?


 Check your links. This sounds like a full-duplex issue between switch and
 machines. On a LAN even with default tcp send/recvspace you should get
 easily get up to 200Mbps.


Proceeding with debugging, I'm getting even more close to the problem
but still need some help.
Giving to OpenBSD box a local IP, and accessing from a same-subnet IP
machine, I get full speed (about 8 MB/s downloading).

Problems come when I give to OpenBSD box an IP of another range, that
goes behind a Cisco router: downloading from the same machine (and
adding a hop in the path, the router itself) only reaches 20-30 kB/s,
while giving the same IP to another linux machine and getting a file
with apache2 reaches 150 kB/s.

Any idea?



route6d bug

2010-02-08 Thread Florian Fuessl
Hi,

current route6d does not add advertised RipNG routes of other systems to the
routing table. This problem seems to go back to 2008, as older OpenBSD
releases do also suffer from this problem, here.

Using route6d build from Jul. 3, 2007 does add advertised RipNG routes to
the kernel routing table, but does not delete them on exit; at least if
running a recent kernel. :-(

Any hints how to patch this problem?

OT: Interupted system call/broken pipe with squid squidguard

2010-02-08 Thread Theodore Wynnychenko
Hello:
I recently installed squid Version 2.7.STABLE6 and SquidGuard: 1.4 Berkeley
DB 4.6.21 on OpenBSD 4.5.
At this point, I am still setting things up, so it is not proxying much of
anything, except for testing, but I have been getting this error every
morning at 7:00AM local time:

Feb  3 07:01:01 server squid[12276]: The url_rewriter helpers are crashing
too rapidly, need help! 
Feb  3 07:01:01 server squid[7601]: Squid Parent: child process 12276 exited
due to signal 6
Feb  3 07:01:04 server squid[7601]: Squid Parent: child process 29122
started

I have no idea why this happens.  After squid shuts down, it restarts
without an issue, and runs fine until 7AM the next day.
I am using newsyslog to manage the log files, and I send a squid -k
reconfigure after the logs are rotated for squidguard; and a squid -k rotate
after the squid logs rotate. But that happens at 3AM.
I thought maybe there was some sort of problem with the file descriptors
running out (I don't know what that means) after squid/squidguard was
running for 24 hours, but I ran a script to shutdown and restart
squid/squidguard at 3:32 AM, but the same errors occurred at 7AM.
The ONLY thing that I can think of is that 7AM is the start of dayhours in
my squidguard.conf.  But I have no idea why that would be causing these
errors.
In any case, other than the fact that it all dies and then is reborn at 7AM
every day, it is all good.  It bothers me to have this issue. Any ideas to
correct this would be welcome.
Below I have included the output of (in this order): 
/var/squid/logs/cache.log
/var/log/squidguard/squidGuard.log

As well as my squidGuard.conf.

Thanks for any advice
Bye - ted

Apache can't resume downloads after upgrade to 4.6

2010-02-08 Thread Атанас Владимиров
Hello misc,
I'm using OpenBSD since 4.4 and today I noticed that httpd server doesn''t
support resuming while a file is downloading.
I made an upgrade from 4.5 to 4.6 couple days ago. I googled this problem
and it appears that Apache supports resuming by default. I made the
following  tests:
I ran orbit downloader on a Windows machine and it turns out that the web
server doesn't support resuming. When pausing the download everything begins
from scratch after resuming.
I ran wget on my time server (FreeBSD 4.11)  and here are the results:

==
[time]/root# wget -c -O ./xx http://bsdbg.net/pf
--22:58:36--  http://bsdbg.net/pf
   = `./xx'
Resolving bsdbg.net... done.
Connecting to bsdbg.net[192.168.1.1]:80... connected.
HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 200 OK

Continued download failed on this file, which conflicts with `-c'.
Refusing to truncate existing file `pf'.



All of the tests were made after resetting the Apache config to default.
Has anyone experienced such problems?
Thanks in advance.

  I did. It's consuming some 90 Watts at idle.
  Actually, it's an Athlon but the latest Sempron has an even reduced TDP.

  Actually even 70 Watts is a little bit high for my next server given the
  fact it will be in an autonomous environment (small wind/solar

Re: Apache can't resume downloads after upgrade to 4.6

2010-02-08 Thread Matthew Mulrooney
 I'm using OpenBSD since 4.4 and today I noticed that httpd server doesn''t
 support resuming while a file is downloading.

The in-tree Apache (Apache 1.3.29 + improvements) doesn't support the 
range header (so you can't resume a previous download);  as far as I 
know, it never has.

If you need resume support, install the Apache httpd 2.2.11 package.

Re: AMD power reduction

 If absolute raw power is not mandatory, you may have a look at
 Atom-based servers -like
 http://www.supermicro.es/?opcion=contenidoplt=notasid=137 for example-.

those work ok (i386/amd64 kernels). you must use a 2.5 drive if you
want to use the PCIE slot (get the 1x2.5 carrier, not the dual one,
if you want that), and note that the PCI slots aren't usable in that
chassis.

supermicro also have some newer mini-itx Atom boards - ICH9: more sata,
em(4), optional IPMI - and there are also numerous low-power systems from
a range of manufacturers using various CPUs (VIA, Geode, EP80579, Atom,
..).

if you don't need i386 compatibility, keep an eye on OpenBSD/loongson
too. (or OpenBSD/armish but the supported hardware doesn't seem to be
available new any more, the closest replacement for Thecus N2100 uses
a different CPU [still arm-based, but this time a slower Oxford
Semiconductor one rather than the XScale]).

but without more information on what server means to you, it's hard
to say what might actually be suitable...

This servers consumption should make a difference when working on 
renovable energy sources.

With all this talk about power reduction...I'm going to toss out one
small suggestion:

Get a Wattmeter, and measure...  Don't waste your time speculating.


Hello,

I did. It's consuming some 90 Watts at idle.
Actually, it's an Athlon but the latest Sempron has an even reduced TDP.
My next server will be based on it.
Actually even 70 Watts is a little bit high for my next server given the fact
it will be in an autonomous environment (small wind/solar generators).

Regards




Re: pf rdr to multiple machines in the subnet

  No, you'd have to so a seperate rdr line for each backend host.
 

 Would a rule like this one work (2 lines).
  rdr pass on $ext_if proto tcp from any to any port 1024:65535 - 10.0.1.32
  rdr pass on $ext_if proto tcp from any to any port 1024:65535 - 10.0.1.33

You can't redirect one port to multiple machines, your options are:
1) redirect different ports to different machines, i.e.:
rdr pass on $ext_if proto tcp from any to any port 1024:5000 - 10.0.1.32
rdr pass on $ext_if proto tcp from any to any port 5001:65535 - 10.0.1.33

2) get more external IP addresses.

Or use tables:

table foo = { $list_of_ips }
rdr pass on $ext_if proto tcp from any to any port 1024:65535 - foo

or run relayd

The OP would do well to read the PF guide on openbsd.org.
