need help on setting up 3G connections , migrating from wvdial.conf to ppp's conf
Hi, I've just grabbed a usb modem , and it works on some linux machines with wvdial's configuration. Now i'm migrating it to my openbsd box , so i tried to do a conenction test with cu. # cu -l /dev/cuaU0 ATZ OK ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 C1 D2 +FCLASS=0 OK AT+CGDCONT=1,IP,cmnet ERROR ( couldn't remeber exactly what it says , error code seems to be 3 ) It's better if i could set up pppd directly , just get stuck here. Many thanks ! P.S. attached initial modem commends with wvdial's conf. wvdial.conf [Dialer Defaults] Init1 = ATZ Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 C1 D2 +FCLASS=0 Init3 = AT+CGDCONT=1,IP,cmnet Password = B Phone = *99# Modem Type = USB Modem Stupid Mode = 1 Baud = 460800 New PPPD = yes Modem = /dev/ttyACM0 ISDN = 0 Username = A Carrier Check = no -- Best Regards, Aaron Lewis - PGP: 0xDFE6C29E Key Server: http://keyserver.veridis.com Finger Print: 9482 448F C7C3 896C 1DFE 7DD3 2492 A7D0 DFE6 C29E
Lenovo ThinkPad T60 won't resume
Hi! My Lenovo ThinkPad won't resume after suspend. When suspending, the little moon led lights up, and when resuming it blinks, but that's all.

Problem with OSPF static route redistribution and routing table
Hi, I have some problem with a redistributed static route not added to the routing table. On a routeur A, there is a static route: route add -net a.b.c.d/27 e.f.g.h (e.f.g.h is a carp IP on this router) route get a.b.c.d show the good gateway (e.f.g.h) ospfd.conf for this router have redistribute static set { metric 1 } On a routeur B, I find the static route when I do a ospfctl sh da ext LS age: 434 Options: *|*|-|-|-|-|-|* LS Type: AS External Link State ID: a.b.c.d (External Network Number) Advertising Router: IP of A Router LS Seq Number: 0x802b Checksum: 0xf321 Length: 36 Network Mask: 255.255.255.224 Metric type: 1 Metric: 1 Forwarding Address: e.f.g.h External Route Tag: 0 So far so good: the route is redistributed but on this B router, a route get a.b.c.d doesn't return the good final gateway (e.f.g.h) nor the A router; instead it returns the default gateway for this router. Additional element: Router B knows how to reach the final gateway e.f.g.h (route get e.f.g.h is correct). Any idea ? Manuel
Re: uaudio
I use a m-audio mobilepre for recording and listening music; it's class compliant does 16-bit stereo at 48kHz, and the sound is excellent. It has a stereo preamp and a phantom power, which is handy. I have been using this for some time now (thanks again for the tip, the sund really is good). Looking at http://www.m-audio.com/products/en_us/MobilePre.html today, it says the MobilePre can do 48000/24b; the image seems to be something else than what I see at my desk, too. Is there a new version of MobilePre out? Has someone used it under 4.7? More generally, what is the status of uaudio(4)? It works reliably, 24-bit encodings are not supported though; recently Jacob fixed various bugs, including a very annoying limitation of the block size. Ah, so does the MobilePre in fact support 24b, but only 16b under OpenBSD? uaudio supports (most of) USB 1.x/USB Audio 1.x standards. there may be issues with USB 2.x/USB Audio 2.x devices, however, these types of devices aren't all that common yet, unles you're looking for high-end equipment ( 6 channels), but there are some out there. for example, the newer m-audio fast tracks are USB 2.0. Is someone using one of these? http://www.m-audio.com/products/en_us/FastTrack.html http://www.m-audio.com/products/en_us/FastTrackPro.html http://www.m-audio.com/products/en_us/FastTrackUltra.html (If not, I will probably settle for the MobilePre.) creative/e-mu have some USB 2.0 devices. I have looked at USB 2.0 support for uaudio, and I have ideas about how to proceed, but without the hardware in hand ... hmm I see the e-mu 0202 is now ~$100, I should probably ask for one on want.html. I suppose this is not supported then, right? http://www.emu.com/products/product.asp?category=610subcategory=611product=15186 not yet. I did receive an 0202, and have it working (this includes support for multiple/sync endpoints and other improvements to uaudio in general), but it requires some changes in audio(4) itself ... it's coming.

This seems weird, because as far as I know, no commits were done to CVS in the perl directory with a OPENBSD_4_8 tag and certainly not so many. I looked at a few files for the differences and until know I've seen only changes in the comments, for example: (src0/ is a clean copy from src.tar.gz from the CDROM, src/ is synced through CVS to OPENBSD_4_8) ... Does anybody know what has happened? There was a late change in the keyword substitution mode for those files. That's a per-file mode (note that it's *not* per-revision per-mode) and there are no email messages generated for them, just as no messages generated for imports. I assume that my src tree (after syncing with CVS and therefore with all the 'new' files in gnu/usr.bin/perl) is still suitable for building 4.8-stable. Is this assumption correct? Yep, it's good. OK, thanks for your answer. Maurice
easter egg in 4.8?
Hi all, Somehow amd64 4.8 cd install did not want to install properly on a sata disk. Upgrading from 4.7, however, worked flawlessly. I had to install 4.7 in another box, and than upgrade on target box. Am I the lucky one or are there any other users experiencing the same? Maxim

suggestion for a new/additional OpenBSD release media option
Hello, I happily and dutifully purchase each CD-ROM release. Many of us receive these CDs prior to the official release date. It is my understanding/experience that many of the binary packages are not available on the CD, and I must wait for them to be released, and then copy them down to my local install server. If early access to the new release is an intended benefit of the CDs, (which it may not be, I don't know), then I for one, am not able to realize this benefit, because I need a lot of packages that are not included on the CD. I then contribute to server overload right after the release date, to ftp all these packages. Here is an idea for an additional release media product: DVD-ROM, including complete release and packages for i386 and amd64, and source I would happily pay more for this product than I currently do for the CDs. Possibly the reduction from 3 CDs to 1 DVD might reduce packaging and might be considered more green. Having all the packages would keep people like me from having to download these packages over the Internet, saving bandwidth charges for those hosting public access. Just a suggestion. Regards Don

Dynamic web hosting and OpenBSD
Dear Friends, I am currently starting my very own hosting business, as I'm horribly tired of all the incompetence in the field. Obviously I take security seriously, and therefore will be using OpenBSD exclusively. One thing is bothering me though. I've searched the web and the archives trying to clarify one single point, but to no avail. I hope you friendly folks would help me. I want to host my customers websites, but I'm unclear how OpenBSD web scripting languages support works. I know for a fact that the base system includes perl, so hosting perl websites should work without issues. That is good because many of my customers will be using domains such as domain.pl I also see Mono is part of the ports, so domain.net should also work without issue. The one thing I'm unclear about is example.com domains. How can I get OpenBSD to run .com files? I found that these are actualy very old DOS binaries. How do other OpenBSD folks manage them? Is it with Wine? Qemu running a stripped down XP? Of course I could write a very good .COM wrapper for ELF I guess, but I don't want to reinvent the wheel, so if a solution already exists, I better use it. So, what is this solution? Or maybe OpenBSD is not compatible yet with .COM web applications? PS: by the way, I am ready to offer the OpenBSD project a very good discount, so maybe it's a good idea to move all the hosting of the project to my new company once I've ironed out the few remaining details. Service will be very good, high bandwidth and very modern, being IPv6 only (it's the new version of DHCP and DNS with more addresses for your machines), so very future-proof. Just contact me if you need more information. Thanks, bsdmaster

Clearly, if it is lot of work for you to produce the DVD, and the resulting DVD revenue is not enough, then this is a bad idea, and a poor use of your time. I have also not yet invested the time into making 4 architectures boot off 2 media. For me, the ability to boot of the install media is not a requirement. I do all my installs via pxeboot. If there were enough room on the DVD, you could also provide the CDROM ISOs. If a user REALLY needed bootable media, they could burn the ISOs to CDROMs, and do that. Again, these are only suggestions. You understand your user/customer base infinitely better than I do. Obviously it is your decision what products you choose to offer.

Obviously I take security seriously, and therefore will be using OpenBSD exclusively. Well, FreeBSD has jails and MAC, so I'd reconsider your platform choice if you say that security is the top priority. China adopted FreeBSD presumably because of its security benefits. Wether the simplicity weighs against this or not, is up to the site's peculiarities. In my case, I choose OpenBSD because of its straightfowardness. One thing is bothering me though.

The last string is the tld (top-level domain) and has nothing to do with the interpeter used by your site's scripts; e.g., .pl is supposed to represent domains hosted for/from Poland, whereas .com domains are usually purchased by _com_panies.
