Re: CARP health check ?
Just an idea, but you might consider giving private ip to the phydev and
using nrpe plugin for nagios so you'll be able to ping them from the inside
and report everything to your external nagios monitor

I came to somewhat similar. Just ssh to external address and ping both carp
peers (via internal addresses), if there're less than 2 answers, we are in
trouble.
your idea is also good.
2012/1/13 Nick Holland n...@holland-consulting.net
ok, let's try this idea...
Your systems have ONE external address, but they can have as many
internal addresses as desired, right?
SO...let's say you have two CARP'd firewalls, FW1 and FW2. They share
external address of x.x.x.x.
FW1: FW2:
Externalx.x.x.xx.x.x.x (same)
Internal real 10.0.0.2 10.0.0.3
internal CARP 10.0.0.1 10.0.0.1 (same)
port 22 gets you ssh on the active firewall...but which is that?
How about a PF ruleset that redirects port 2202 to 10.0.0.2 port 22 and
port 2203 to 10.0.0.3? Now you can find out anything you wish about
either box ON DEMAND by selecting the port you ssh to? If 2202 doesn't
answer, you've lost fw1, if 2203 doesn't answer, you have lost fw2
In addition to checking to see that the box is up, it's good to check
for a sane CARP status -- i.e., all MASTER on one box, SLAVE on the
other, plus other overall health issues.

well, it's usually not possible.
we use OpenBSD, because it supports carpdev option (FreeBSD does not
support it)
most of our carp clusters run on single address. no spare IP space.
we could do ssh and ping carp peer (some trouble with preemption), but
we
do not want to stick with certain IP addresses. we would like to
monitor
in general
1) define new carp cluster for monitoring
2) ssh to it and monitorcarp peer in general without specifying it's
address

Give each server it's unique IP address.
Use a third IP address for carp.
Monitor all three addresses.

Hi If I added it up correctly, you don't have any unused space on your disk. As stated on the FAQ (4.6.4) c on all disks is the whole disk partition, it is used by programs that have to have raw access to the physical disk, such as fdisk(8) and disklabel(8).

The pf.conf(5) man page says, that reply-to is useful only in rules that create state. Do you manage state by some other rule before? Unfortunately, the pf.conf syntax has changed since v4.6 and while I do plan to upgrade my own firewall to v5.0 (I've bought the CD already) I haven't yet had time to perform the upgrade. As a result, I haven't worked out what the equivalent 'modern' syntax would be, but you might be able to get some hints from what I'm using in v4.6. Yes! Concerning syntax I did some tests. The follwing rule is syntactically correct (in the sense that it is accepted by pf, at least on 4.8): pass in on $vpn_if inet proto udp from any to any port 1194 \ keep state reply-to ( $vpn_if $vpn_if:peer ) I think this can be done simpler.

Re: disk management
fpussa...@contactoffice.fr (Francois Pussault), 2012.01.13 (Fri) 13:28 (CET): J /home all of the free space may I just throw in: fsck duration upon boot after unclean unmount. A good philosophy: as little as possible (fsck duration), as much as necessary (user/service reqirement). Needed: have lots of free=unused space for moving the content of slices around and thus enable growing slices, when needed. On really large disks, the maximum of 14 slices (a, d-p) becomes a limitation. I am bypassing this limitation by means of softraid(4)/bioctl(8): see CRYPTO and CONCAT (-current only). Gives you lots of devices (sd0, sd1, sdN) to have slices on. Having lots of slices makes df(1) a precious system overview, apart from anything else :-) bye, Marcus

I have a ral wireless device in the box, configured as hostap: # cat /etc/hostname.ral0 inet 10.23.4.56 255.255.0.0 nwid brb.freifunk.net chan 1 mediaopt hostap The clients are OpenBSD notebooks. Now after the upgrade it happens after some time (don't know what the timeframe is, maybe a day maybe longer or shorter, the wireless is not that much used), that the ral device is not responding, when a client tries to connect to the WLAN. On the client I see the status on the WLAN device as status: no network on the access point, all seems to be fine: # ifconfig ral0 ral0: flags=8943UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,PROMISC,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST mtu 1500 lladdr 00:11:09:9a:9a:7e priority: 4 groups: wlan media: IEEE802.11 autoselect hostap (autoselect mode 11b hostap) status: active ieee80211: nwid brb.freifunk.net chan 1 bssid 00:11:09:9a:9a:7e 100dBm inet6 fe80::211:9ff:fe9a:9a7e%ral0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x4 inet 10.23.4.56 netmask 0x broadcast 10.23.255.255 To get it to work again, I have to login to the AP, and issue a sh /etc/netstart ral0 that's all, afterwards, the client can happily connect. When I have the problem, I watched with tcpdump what happens when the client tries to connect to the network: tcpdump -n -i ral0 -y IEEE802_11_RADIO -vvv See the tcpdump output and dmesg below. Suggestion to debug this problem?

Re: NAT Firewalls and Client IPs in SSL Requests
On 2012-01-12, Sam Vaughan samjvaug...@gmail.com wrote: I have a web server handling predominantly https traffic sitting on a DMZ behind a CARP'd firewall of two ALIX 2D3s. Since the firewall is NATting traffic to the web server, the source IP of requests arriving at the web server is always the firewall's CARP address on the DMZ. Do you really have to NAT the source address? That is unusual, most people just use rdr-to which only touches the destination address. I'd like the server to see the original client IP. The only solution I can think of is to use relayd, pound etc. as a layer 7 reverse proxy on the firewall that decrypts the SSL and inserts an X-Forwarded-For header. BTW, relayd can also do transparent forwarding (i.e. maintaining the source address in the packets), even with SSL offload. http://www.mail-archive.com/misc@openbsd.org/msg102364.html

Anyway, you can use your system for years, upload and delete little and large files, but defragmentation ratio is very close to 0.0%. Either the system is not aware of this location blur or really the system sees that the file blocks location is indeed convenient for the system. In my experiments I saw large avi files being copied to the outsider /usr from a flash device 4.5mb p/s, and to the insider /var slower - depending on the size of the /usr - from 2.7mb p/s to 3.2mb p/s.

Shut down anything that you don't absolutely require. syslogd, squid, httpd/nginx, whatever. I would *copy* files from /home to /var, not move them (of course you'll need to clear some space first - old logs or squid cache might be a good candidate). I would probably skip steps 5 and 7, just be careful that your fstab lines are correct. Take care and think about every command before you press the enter key.

To shrink /home from the head you would have to (from single user mode): 1) dump(8) your current /home. 2) Change the slice for /home (k) to a higher start and smaller size to end where it ends today, and still start on a cylinder boundary. 3) Zero the start 1 MB of the slice with dd. 4) Create a new empty filesystem on that slice. 5) restore(8) the saved /home content onto the new slice. To increase /var you would have to (from single user mode): 1) Create space at the tail of /var's slice by shrinking the slice after from the head. 2) Unmount /var 3) Grow the /var filesystem using growfs(8). But since your /var is slice e and /home is slice k that can not be done. You will have to find some other disk space to dump(8) and restore(8) your current /var into. Or chroot your apache into some other filesystem. Or reinstall with better partitionint, or... -- / Raimo Niskanen, Erlang/OTP, Ericsson AB

Here are some options: - backup, reinstall with better partition sizes, restore. - swap /var and /home partitions (shut down services, copy files around between the partitions, swap the fstab entries, reboot). if you are not totally confident with doing this, make sure your backups are up-to-date first. - if you only need a little more space, or if you need to buy some time until you an plan a proper reinstallation, move your squid cache_dir to /home. I got the same recommendation from Vadim Zhukov persg...@gmail.com with little difference, do it in single mode: 1. Boot in single user mode, enter shell. 2. mount /, /usr, /var and /home. 3. Move /var/* to /home. 4. Move /home/* to /var (except what moved on step 3). 5. Umount /home and /var. 6. Edit fstab and switch /home and /var mount points. 7. Try to mount /home and /var now, checking all is ok. 8. Proceed booting (^D) and have a nice day. but I operate remotely, and can't shut down all services, such PF or SSH. So in any way I need to do this locally? you can do almost anything remotely...if you understand what you are doing. I'm not going to give you step-by-step instructions. Its your machine, I'm not taking responsibility for it, and you need to. btw: most of the advice people have given you on-list is somewhere between useless and very very bad (with definite exceptions for Stuart's and Otto's comments). I would HIGHLY recommend you read through sections 4 and 14 of the FAQ, and UNDERSTAND, not blindly follow other people's steps. Then practice on a local computer. Nick.

Say, you would have an old Debian Sarge release (years old) and you would approach a debian mailing list with something is weird with locate, pretty sure you would get a lot of advises to upgrade first, test then, and if problem persists, come back. From the blogs I've read where this happens it's far harsher than that, due to the bugs in Linux. Something like what the fsck are you doing running a system that old your a danger to the internet. It's people like you that.. I've never seen a come back like why's this Linux kernel such a danger to the world in just 2 months then?, every router on this street is running a year old firmware! and the current firmware released 4 weeks ago has 2 critical bugs described as 'just another bug' I'd love to see the replies if any to that. But this is OpenBSD and I assume your just running a simple firewall or on a closed network or know your systems services are known bug free. I'm surprised you've had so much help. Personally and If I had time I'd want to find out the problem but I'd be wiping and reinstalling from scratch anyway, especially with an unknown cause. Of course having install scripts makes that decision much easier. It shouldn't be hard to copy your configs off, just make a root drive backup first in case you miss something. Surely faster than reading the upgrade guides for 7 releases.
ntpd sendto: Can't assign requested address
Hello, I run OpenBSD 5.0 (amd64) with ntpd. About 5 to 10 times a day, it logs errors like the following to /var/log/messages and /var/log/daemon: Jan 11 02:04:53 abc ntpd[26588]: sendto: Can't assign requested address /etc/ntpd.conf: listen on * server ptbtime2.ptb.de server ptbtime3.ptb.de This box is part of the ntp pool (www.pool.ntp.org) so it gets about 10 ntp querys per second on average, occasionally many more. What to do? Thanks feily

Surely faster than reading the upgrade guides for 7 releases. Boohoo. 7 releases. That's called backlog. Or dropping the ball. Upgrade every six months or every year and you won't have to suffer through this ! As far as I'm concerned, the major advantage OpenBSD has over lots of other stuff is that you can decide to update much more easily. The only question in 99% of the cases is: do you have enough time to do it ? The next version of the OS is always better than the previous one, and generally, all things that used to work do work still. If something breaks, it's considered a major issue to be fixed shortly. Heck, even though we sometimes mothball some old shit, we're agressively promoting the use of completely obsolete wacky hardware thanks to our obsessive-compulsive old-shit specialists. We have a track-record of still running on cheese boxes that the distinguished competition abandonned years ago. As opposed to a lot of other places where generally, you waitsee on the ml for a few weeks to make sure your stuff won't fall apart when you update.

An upgrade doesn't fix everything, nobody said it would. What would
be interesting is verifying whether an upgrade fixes the problem. It
would bring the topic in the realm of supported releases and from
there it may get more attention.

You wouldn't download a car.
This analogy with cars didn't work for the entertainment industry, and
it doesn't work for you. Upgrading (especially in the case of
OpenBSD) does not incur a cost outside of the time you need to spend
on the upgrade itself (time you're now spending on debugging and
e-mailing the list). You say you can't upgrade for reasons you don't
want to divulge, so be it. But comparing this to taking a car to the
junkyard makes no sense. And your nonsensical argument doesn't help
your case.
Here's another reason why your argument fails, btw. Replace your dome
light; done. You know what the issue is and you can easily fix it (or
have someone fix it for you). Quite different from your problem with
locate / updatedb where you have no idea why it doesn't work.

I thought you already know what the problem is: locate doesn't work
for you. What you want is to do is resolve this problem. If
reinstalling the system resolves the issue, then why are you arguing ?
Oh, you want to understand the problem ? Fair enough. So what you
needed (and got) was help on how to debug problems. Sorry, Lee, but
you've been on this list for a long time (you mentioned you were
expecting some of the feedback you were less happy with from your
experience on the list); personally I had expected you would be able
to help yourself in this area. At the very least, it would've been
prudent if you had provided details in your first e-mail that had to
be extruded from you over the course of what is now quite a long
thread (with many off-topic replies from yourself, by the way;
shouldn't you be debugging an issue instead of arguing on the
internet ?).
| Thanks again to those that actually read the original question, .. I am

You're honing skills, that's excellent. Just a bit of a shame you
have so much issues with the less useful feedback you're getting.
It's funny that you would answer a question about what did you
change with 'nothing' when it relates to a filesystem. Are you
absolutely, 100% positive you did not create any new files ? Or
delete some ?
If I were you, I'd try to look for files with weird names in your
filesystems. Could they have been created recently, perhaps ? Also,
try to figure out if the database really ends at the border between
two partitions (/home and whatever comes next). Is *everything* from
/home in the database ?
find /home | while read FILENAME
do
RES=`locate ${FILENAME} | head -n 1`
[ X${RES} = X ] echo Could not find ${FILENAME}
done
Realize that this provides false positives for files created since
the last updatedb run; make sure to filter those out. Also, any
errors displayed while you run this could be of interest...
Also try to establish if it's really true that only files from /home
are in the database:
locate / | grep -v ^/home
Finally - are your filesystems OK ? Force an fsck run. Not a
guarantee that if you have issues in that area that they are found,
but if it finds something that would also be telling.
Again, sorry Lee, but this is basic stuff I would've expected you to
provide in your first post. Help people help you, even if you're
running code that's several years old. *Especially* if you're running
code that's several years old - you know the mantra here is upgrade
to a supported release first, so try to put some effort in yourself
(and show that you have).

The (unofficial) opebsd repo in github is outdated
Firstly, sorry if this is a bit off-topic for the list. The openbsd repo in github is outdated. Are the owners reading the list? Can someone update the repo?. Github doesn't show me a contact address for the organization, so I thing this list is the best option for report the problem. Thanks. -- Juan Francisco Cantero Hurtado http://juanfra.info

If instead of writing snarky mails you had spent the time upgrading, by now we would know if it still affects -current and thus worth spending time investigating further.

The openbsd repo in github is outdated. Are the owners reading the list? Can someone update the repo?. Github doesn't show me a contact address for the organization, so I thing this list is the best option for report the problem. the cvs-to-git conversion tool i was using was not producing 100% accurate trees, leaving some extra files in some of the release branches and causing some builds to break. the trees were not being updated while i was resuming work on my own conversion tool to fix these problems. since a few people have asked about them, i've just deleted the github repos to avoid confusion. the new trees will have different histories and git commit hashes so they will need to be re-downloaded/forked anyway. i will push the new trees back up to github when the tool is finished and i have verified that all of the branches are identical to the cvs versions.
