Of course, the tunnels are meant for you to have ipv6 anywhere. I just consider that a bonus. :) -- Randal L.

Re: Donations
Untill one is found guilty by court, any public occusations against him are considered defamation (criminal activity on it's own). So you have to pay for due process? Why? Either I don't understand Your point, or You don't understand mine. You don't have to pay to report a crime to entitled public bodies. So, according to legal regulations PayPal's activity towards Wikileaks account should be brought to court as a defamation case. So you have to pay for due process? In Russia it would be a criminal case, so the one to pay would be the government. The civil case (damages due) could be run within criminal case or afterwards, but it would be rather automated process, not a very big deal in terms of mony. -- Dmitrij D. Czarkoff
hotplugd(8) ignoring devices attached before boot
hello all, for quite some time and until recently (1) hotplugd(8) used to pick up devices (2) that were attached before boot once it started. this behaviour has ceased with a snapshot just fetched (``OpenBSD 4.8-current (GENERIC) #512: Tue Dec 7 23:06:47 MST 2010''). has anyone else noticed the different behaviour? if this is confirmed, is it a bug or a feature? :-) bye and thanks in advance, marcus (1) recently is hard to define in that case since I was running a patched kernel until today. last but one snapshot I downloaded (and still have) at 2010-12-01 (``OpenBSD 4.8-current (GENERIC) #502: Tue Nov 30 15:05:27 MST 2010''). I dimly remember the change was already there but could test if need be. before that I still got ``OpenBSD 4.8-current (GENERIC) #495: Mon Nov 22 11:31:16 MST 2010'' and if my memory serves right hotplugd was picking up the devices at that time. (2) devices I tested with: ``ath0 at cardbus0'', ``ubt0 at uhub1''.

Paypal's terms of use are just that; terms of use. The account was being run by the German charity WHS. Noone has said that wikileaks has commited a crime. What statute are you talking about? Wikileaks solicits the holders of US security clearances to violate their non-disclosure agreements. That is a crime. I hereby ask anyone who holds secrets that the world should know of, which may contain indications of real crimes having been commited should send them to wikileaks. Did I just commit a crime? No. Oh, remember I do not live in the US. Hypothetical cleared US personnel who took you up on this request WOULD be committing a crime. Some people think it should not be a crime. But it is. Some people think that it matters that WIkileaks says that they do not ask for submissions. That matters about as much as a mob boss saying that he didn't ask anyone to shoot so-and-so, just that wouldn't it be fortunate if someone did? Wikileaks model is predicated on breaking NDAs, and based on what their cite on their front pages, breaking NDAs on US classified information is their biggest product center. You think it should be a crime. You just justified skipping due process. Against whom? Due process rights exist in criminal and civil proceedings, not in business arrangements. Wikileaks has no more due process rights against PayPal than Wim has against you; they might be able to sue for breach of contract, but that's it. Due process has nothing to do with this case. The nickel summary is that due process is not in play if the cops are not directly involved. The crime I am talking about is the crime of the cleared individuals disclosing the classified information. PayPal did not terminate Wikileaks for committing a crime, but for using PayPal in support of their soliciting crimes (unlawful disclosure/conveyance of classified information), which is against their terms of service. Wikileaks is not guilty of any crimes until it's there's been a due process. It's just accused of for now.

nfs / mail related freezes with OpenBSD 4.8-current
Hello,
since updating to 4.8-current two of my boxes, one i386 and one sparc64,
keep freezing just seconds after the boot.
I managed to find out that it has something to do with mail and the
mailboxes being inside an NFS share on another server.
For now I moved the mailboxes back into the system, but a solution would
really be nice.
So, someone know whats going on? Patches to try out are welcome. ;-)
Thanks in advance,
Michael

I don't expect hotmail, yahoo, etc. to be so either. Also, a few times hotmail released new versions of their web interface, they only worked for IE for about a week or two. As long as you don't own and control the mail server, someone else has physical access to it; hence it's not really secure. Personally, I run my own mail server on a VPS I rent (to ARP Network, by the way). Not the BEST of choices, but I sure trust them more than GOOGLE. If you *really* need privacy for emails, start using something like GPG.

Re: nfs / mail related freezes with OpenBSD 4.8-current

Hello,
since updating to 4.8-current two of my boxes, one i386 and one sparc64,
keep freezing just seconds after the boot.
I managed to find out that it has something to do with mail and the
mailboxes being inside an NFS share on another server.
So, your /var/mail is nfsmounted from server:/var/mail or what?
How exactly is it mounted? What's the fstab line? How exactly is it
exported? What's the exports line?
For now I moved the mailboxes back into the system, but a solution would
really be nice.
So, someone know whats going on? Patches to try out are welcome. ;-)
Thanks in advance,

pf: default queue issues
I have an openbsd box doing queuing for 200+ users, each with their own cbq
queue to limit bandwidth on a per-client basis. My issue is that I'm seeing
a good 60-80% of the traffic on the client-facing interface going into the
default queue, rather than it going into the individual client queues.
my queuing is set up thusly:
altq on $cus cbq bandwidth 100Mb queue { cusdefqrx, resqrx, torrqrx }
queue cusdefqrx bandwidth 10% priority 1 cbq(borrow,ecn,default)
queue torrqrx bandwidth 1% priority 0 cbq(ecn)
queue resqrx bandwidth 89% priority 5 cbq(borrow,ecn) { 493qrx,
026qrx, 025qrx,
024qrx, 023qrx, 502qrx, etc }
and the client queues:
queue 493qrx bandwidth 1013Kb priority 1
queue 026qrx bandwidth 5940Kb priority 6
queue 025qrx bandwidth 2475Kb priority 1
queue 024qrx bandwidth 2475Kb priority 1
queue 023qrx bandwidth 1013Kb priority 1
queue 502qrx bandwidth 1013Kb priority 1
...etc
and then there are a bunch of rules that assign traffic to each queue:
x493={ 192.168.4.136/32 }
pass out quick on $cus from any to $x493 label 493rx queue
493qrx no state
pass in quick on $cus from $x493 to any label 493tx no
state
...etc, for every IP address in use, such that all traffic on the interface
is assigned to a queue.
pftop -s 1 -v queue shows:
root_fxp1 100M cbq0 731630 771766K 0 00 0
0 893 952K
cusdefqrx 10M cbq 426563 519181K 0 00 0
0 513 737K
torrqrx 1000K cbq0 0 0 0 00 0
00 0
resqrx 89M cbq5 0 0 0 00 0
00 0
The problem is that queuing for each client doesn't seem to be working.
tcpdump shows traffic to a particular client which is not being assigned to
their queue. What really odd is that the labels for that rule ARE working,
so that traffic is hitting that rule.
Is there a way to see what packets are going into the default queue?
thanks for any insight.
David

Freeze with Western Digital Caviar Green HDD
It looks like the IntelliPark feature on a Western Digital Caviar Green HDD can cause issues with OpenBSD, which can be fixed/mitigated by disabling IntelliPark. About 6 months ago, I built myself a new amd64 machine. I decided to optimize for low wattage--reducing power costs and waste heat, increasing UPS runtime--and so I chose a single Western Digital Caviar Green HDD. Although these drives are intended/marketed for something more like nearline storage, according to bonnie++, the drive performed roughly as well as the 7200RPM PATA-100 2-drive mirror in my old machine. The machine I built, initially running 4.7/amd64, then 4.8/amd64 (both unmodified -RELEASE) was never stable for more than a couple of days at a time. The machine would freeze hard, sometimes with the HDD light lit solid, usually not. I worked around a number of bugs, trying a patched kernel with http://marc.info/?l=openbsd-miscm=128897915014154w=2, and disabling installing an fxp(4) so I could disable the onboard re(4). I wrote scripts to monitor hw.sensors, SMART, and various stats from systat(1), and graph them using rrdtool. What I noticed was that my machine would generally crash right before an IO-intensive cronjob started. I also noticed that SMART stat 193 (Load/Unload Cycle Count) was very high, and climbing rapidly. Doing some research on this stat, I found out that WD Caviar Green drives have a feature called IntelliPark that parks the HDD heads after 8 seconds of inactivity. This is supposed to make the HDD more efficient, but has been reported not to play well with Linux, and WD provides a workaround: the WDIDLE3 utility, which would allow me to change/disable the IntelliPark 8-second timeout. I ran WDIDLE3 on my WD Caviar Green HDD, setting the timeout to the maximum allowed (300 seconds). I have a monitoring process running that writes to disk roughly every 60 seconds, so IntelliPark is effectively disabled for me. As of now, the system has been up a record 19.5 days without issue. Disabling IntelliPark fixed the major freeze issue I was having. I don't know exactly what was going on, but it seems like the drive would get stuck in a state in which the head reloading had failed, or had not completed within a certain timespan, and the OS and the drive controller become deadlocked. Attempting to reproduce the problem is painful, both in terms of how long it can take to cause a freeze, and for the wearing out it did of the drive. I'm not sure if I should file this as a PR, or consider this a design flaw in the drive (or a consequence of off-label use) and just be content with the fix/workaround that I've found. If anyone has any recommendations, or any experiences with the Caviar Green drives, I'd like to hear them.

Re: OT - gmail alternatives

The lavabit page boasts of privacy (a system so secure http://lavabit.com/secure.html that even our administrators can t read your e-mail) but you can never really know unless you're an admin there.

I have an enhanced account with them that I use for my personal email. I have the asynchronous encryption option enabled, but yeah, there's no real way of knowing for sure.

Re: nfs / mail related freezes with OpenBSD 4.8-current
Hi,
since updating to 4.8-current two of my boxes, one i386 and one
sparc64, keep freezing just seconds after the boot.
I managed to find out that it has something to do with mail and the
mailboxes being inside an NFS share on another server.
For now I moved the mailboxes back into the system, but a solution
would really be nice.
So, someone know whats going on? Patches to try out are welcome. ;-)
I could just reproduce the same behaviour with httpd (with no mail stuff
running) while loading a simple html page from NFS:

Re: Freeze with Western Digital Caviar Green HDD
I have a WD10EADS-22M2B0. Manufacture date printed on the drive is 17 MAR 2010, and I haven't attempted any firmware updates, if applicable. There appear to be some drives out there that support a much wider range of IntelliPark timeouts, and support TLER. My idle timer only goes up to 300s, or can be completely disabled, which I didn't do, since I heard rumors that it silently turned off other power-saving features. I also tried enabling TLER, to no avail. I guess I got the cheaper kind. On Fri, 2010-12-10 at 09:34 +1300, Joel Wiramu Pauling wrote: Hrm, do you have model number of the drives?

Re: OT - gmail alternatives
The only issue I have with running my own mail server is that I can receive e-mails, but for whatever reason I cannot send out e-mails. I'm assuming it's because mail servers are denying e-mails from my IP or something since I'm on a residential connection. It doesn't even reach the Spam box, just doesn't show up at all even though a test with telnet says the mail was successfully sent out.

That is, if your IP address is A.B.C.D, is there a 'D.C.B.A.in-addr.arpa PTR FQDN' DNS record (where FQDN is the fully-qualified domain name for your mailserver, e.g., mail-server.example.com.)?

The problem isthat you won't pass muster when you're checked for a reverse IP lookup. It's highly unlikely you'll want to use as your hostname the alphabet soup your ISP assigns whatever machine is on your current IP, and even if you do, your machine won't be delegated to handle mail within that domain.

I'm assuming it's because mail servers are denying e-mails from my IP or something since I'm on a residential connection. It doesn't even reach the Spam box, just doesn't show up at all even though a test with telnet says the mail was successfully sent out. Two things are probably occurring: 1) Many ISPs block outbound email on port 25 to prevent SPAM abuse. 2) You will not be able to send email directly to most email servers because your server identify cannot be verified. The best solution is to forward your SMTP traffic trough your ISP. Lee

Re: OT - gmail alternatives
There are such laws in UK, I read about a kid jailed for not wanting to give them the pass to his encrypted partitions, I think. But not in US, for example, they recently caught a hacker (Moxie Marlinspike - maybe many people here know the story), he refused to give them the pass, but they could not do him anything but temporarily confiscating his cellphone and laptop (IIRC) for investigations, or something. Btw of Marlinspike, people who don't know it already (again, I fear that I'm coming with old news :P) might find this interesting: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ScMl2_9Duao - he basically puts into words what people can just perceive about the subversive information control methods.

Re: OT - gmail alternatives
A drop-in replacement to it I consider to be gmx.com - I used it for quite some years now and have no doubt about their reliability. About security... dunno. My final option - for now, at least - was to find a cheap hosting in Switzerland and run my personal email service there - payed 82b, or so for 5 +1 years.

You'll probably want to use some free dns servers online (like freedns.afraid.org). Maybe another ISP might help in getting a static IP. I have a residential line, from a mostly-business ISP, who charges $250 for a symettric static-ip connection. It sucks, but I run lots of my own stuff at home. On 09/12/10 22:37, Adam M.

How secure it is, is still up to how trustworthy they are. Probably lots more that gmail.

Colo box (I'll toss the various virtual machine and chroot jail hosting solutions into that). Some flavor of VPN account where you can keep a nice static IP address for your mail server with proper forward and reverse DNS. Business class account with your ISP. Some other 3rd party mail provider. Warning... even if you secure your email, the idiots on the other end won't. I deal with lawyers that still insist on POP3 in the clear for their crack berry to retrieve email. I deal with lawyers and accountants that think a boilerplate disclaimer will prevent someone from forwarding on a mis-directed email.

The only way to get reverse DNS is to purchase the service from Verizon with a static IP. The only way to run your own server with dymanic IP and have it validate properly is to forward through Verizon's SMTP server that is authorized for your location.
