popen from cgi program

[Jordon]

I am still learning cgi/web stuff and stumbled upon an issue.  I am 
trying to popen() a program to catch what it dumps to stdout.  To start 
simply, I am just trying to run uname.  I get nothing.  No errors on 
popen() or pclose(), but nothing printed.  I run the same code from a 
regular cpp program (changing the khtml_puts() to printf() and it works 
perfectly.  That makes me wonder if there is something environmental 
that I am missing, or maybe this is just not allowed.


My code is this:

  char dump[1024];
  memset(dump, 0, sizeof(dump));
  FILE *f = popen("uname -a", "r");
  if(f == NULL) {
    khtml_puts(, "popen()FAILED!");
  } else {
    khtml_puts(, "output: ");
    while (fgets(dump, sizeof(dump), f) != NULL) {
  khtml_puts(, "GOTSOMETHING!");
  khtml_puts(, dump);
    }
    int status = pclose(f);
    if(status==-1) {
  khtml_puts(, "pclose()FAILED");
    }
  }
  khtml_puts(, "done");


All I get from it is "output: done"



Also, my httpd.conf is this:

ext_addr="egress"
prefork 2
server "localhost" {
    listen on $ext_addr port 80
    root "/htdocs"
    location "/cgi-bin/*" {
    fastcgi
    root "/"
    }
}

Any ideas?

Intel C610 azalia (ALC888) not configuring at /dev/audio

[yuuko]

Hello,

I have just installed the latest snapshot and audio is not configuring,
i.e. the output of mixerctl, audioctl, et al are "device not 
configured".

My motherboard is a Supermicro X10DAL-I-O, which has the Intel C610
chipset, and the audio codec is the Realtek ALC888, although the latter
is not immediately relevant, as the azalia driver does not even get to
the stage of evaluating the codec; pertinent dmesg output with 
GENERIC.MP

modified with AZALIA_DEBUG enabled:

azalia1 at pci0 dev 27 function 0 "Intel C610 HD Audio" rev 0x05: msi
azalia_reset: resetting
azalia_reset: reset counter = 0
azalia1: reset failure
azalia_pci_detach
azalia_pci_detach: delete streams
azalia_pci_detach: delete codecs
azalia_pci_detach: delete CORB and RIRB
azalia_pci_detach: disable interrupts
azalia_pci_detach: clear interrupts
azalia_pci_detach: delete PCI resources

For reference, azalia0 was my AMD GPU's HDMI/DisplayPort audio (I
understand from the man page that this is unsupported; thankfully I
have no need of it).

Grepping through the source shows that this is a supported chipset;
what gives? Any and all help is appreciated. Might it have something
to do with it being the second device that azalia(4) tries to set up?

Re: identifying software and licenses used in base install

[Gareth Nelson]

If your customer is not satisfied by simply pointing to the terms that
cover the whole of OpenBSD, and if they insist on some kind of audit of the
whole tree.

Well then, offer it - but charge more.

Point out that what they're asking for would be unreasonably complex and
expensive no matter what third-party code is being used.

If they're worried about some kind of liability for using OpenBSD, offer to
idemnify them.

Personally, any contract for development work I ever sign has clauses
stating that all code is either 100% my own work (often with the copyright
assigned as work under hire) or licensed under a free software license
acceptable to the client (client specifies what licenses they're happy
with).

I generally find that technically knowledgeable  clients are happy for me
to use BSD and MIT type licenses without asking, and GPLv2 if there's no
decent alternative.

Clients who are not technically knowledgeable will usually be happy to
trust my judgement and settle on the same policy after a few minutes of
explanation.

If your client is being paranoid about licensing and copyright issues to
the point you're seriously considering what's basically an audit of the
OpenBSD tree, I'd question if they're going to be unreasonable on other
matters too.

It may be the case that your client's lawyer is being paranoid about
liability, so ask them to draft an idemnification clause in the contract
and if they're not happy with that, charge them for the large and expensive
task of auditing OpenBSD.

Ultimately, if they're unwilling to accept the reasonable path and don't
want to pay for the extra work, drop them. It's not worth it.

I'm throwing together a quick proof-of-concept thingy to give to a customer
and thought it might be  fun to use OpenBSD as the OS for the VM image.
Unfortunately, the not so fun part of it is that I'm required to get
permission to use/distribute this open source software, which entails
needing to identify all the internal software components and licenses
used.  I thought this was going to be easy, but it's proving to be anything
but...

My system only has the following installed: bsd, bsd.rd, bsd.mp, base62,
etc62, and man62.

Is there, by chance, such a breakdown available for these already? Since
OpenBSD is distributed in binary form, is there a copyright attributions
listing somewhere to satisfy the "must reproduce the above copyright"
clause, or do you just point to the also-distributed source for all that?

In lieu of that, it seems that a script could analyze the source code -
everything is contained in sys.tar.gz (the kernel) and src.tar.gz
(userland), right?

For the kernel, I'd like to think that it's all BSD, but `grep -R '"GPL"'
*` shows 39 files having the "GPL" string.  Looking at these, it appears
that they are all dual-licensed.  I didn't check if there are any other
licenses in the kernel, but is it safe to say that, if there are, they are
all dual-licensed and therefore the net-net is that the kernel is all BSD?

For the userland, first, is there an easy way to isolate the sub-parts of
src.tar.gz that contribute to base62, etc62, and man62?  Next, is there an
easy way to identify the unique packages/projects that are included?  -
this in hope that it might be easier to identify the licenses at the
project-level than the file-level.  Any thoughts for how to make this go
easy?

I'm beginning to think that this might be more trouble than it's worth, and
that I might be better off having the customer download/install OpenBSD
themselves, and then run something like an Ansible script to
install/configure the demo...

Thanks,
Kent

Oh, cut your crap.

There is no question who would be capable of doing that work and
having it count.  His legal isn't going to sign off on someone like
Lari doing the work, so the implication is he wanted *US TO DO IT*

And we don't.  And he should know better

(1) due to the gigantic NO WARRANTY on 99% of the files.

(2) the realizion that we provide a vast body for code for free

His expectation is balony.  This isn't a corporation.

Your disagreement isn't worth a penny.  You have no stake in the work.
It is obvious you just want to be a yappy mouth.

Huh, where did he imply otherwise?  I don't think I saw Kent make a

Re: Git(Hub) and CVS

[Lari Rasku]

I'm guessing the cvs2git version changed in the upgrade and the new version
generates different commit hashes from the old one.  You can verify this by
comparing how a known commit shows up on the GitHub UI vs. a git log of a
recent cvs2git conversion: if the "commit XXX" strings differ, that's
our culprit.

If you don't care about preserving the hashes of the old commits on GitHub,
then what you probably want is `git push --mirror origin`.  It does exactly
what it sounds like, mirroring the current state of the entire repo to the
remote.  (Doing this means that people won't be able to git pull without
--rebase on checkouts of your repository made prior to the cvs2git upgrade,
and if there are any antediluvian forks of it on GitHub the UI may get
confused trying to figure out their relation.)

If you DO care about preserving the commits with the old hashes on GitHub
then I don't know how to do better than Anton's suggestion, though I think
you'll still encounter problems with tags... you'd have to take the --tags
off your push command and come up with some system for pushing new tags
individually.

This is a very silly question. Most modern all-in-one office grade
devices can scan directly onto an umass device or into the e-mail. You
don't need OpenBSD to scan. The scan quality fall within technical
requirements you have.

That being said I have three scanners currently attached to my OpenBSD
desktops at work and at home and all of them work perfectly. They are
older devices.

1. Epson Perfection 1650 (plug and play)

2 .Epson Perfection 1670 (use cabextract to get a firmware needed to
scan from Windows installation disk)

3. Epson all-in-one WorkForce 845 (plug and play but printer is 
paperweight but good enough for me to print from my smart phone with
proprietary driver)


I see people complaining about CanoScan LiDE line of Canon "scanners".
Those scanners come without power supply and they are supposed to draw
the electricity from USB cable. They cost about $10 new. Well you get
what you paid for. 

Now in whole honestly Epson started selling $100-$200 flatbed scanners
here in U.S. which do require epkowa binary blob driver so they are
Linux only. Those scanners are no better than what I have. Now real good
scanners like Perfection V850 Pro ($1000) are fully supported but you
probably don't need that unless you are digitizing massive amount of
old photos and negatives.

Re: Flatbed scanner that works well with OpenBSD?

[Robert]

Hi,

My scanner also stopped working somewhere around 6.0 I think. I didn't need it 
since then and therefore didn't bother to file a bug report (I know...).
Don't know if it's the same root cause, but mine looks like a USB stack problem 
(?).
Note: This is a Dell Optiplex 3020, that has the XHCI problem mentioned by 
someone in 2015 (hangs during boot); I have to disable the xhci device in the 
kernel in to boot (full dmesg at the end).

Re: Flatbed scanner that works well with OpenBSD?

[Ax0n]

Slightly related, I have a CanoScan LiDE 100 that used to work great with
OpenBSD, using either ScanImage or simple-scan. It's detected, but sometime
around OpenBSD-5.6 it stopped working. I use it infrequently enough, and I
have enough computers that I usually just give up and have my wife use her
Windows laptop to scan for me. I have a slightly vested interest in having
my only scanner work with my main daily desktop/laptop OS.

I'll try installing some old versions of OpenBSD and see if I can find
where it broke, and post dmesg's of the before/after mess, if anyone thinks
that would help.

No.

You have:
{ WAN (Internet) } <--> { Router } <--> { LAN (192.168.15.0) }

A host in WAN can only see your Router

you have to forward ports from {router} to {lan} but I wouldnt
recommend that.
Maybe read something about networking and NAT and such things to get a
deeper understanding? ;-)

Well, I just bought a CanoScan 9000F MkII specifically because it was
marked as fully supported on that list, and I can say it does NOT work
on OpenBSD; scanimage -L detects it just fine but attempting to scan
gives an I/O error. As a workaround I plugged it into a Linux laptop,
started saned, and scan seamlessly from OpenBSD with scanimage's network
support, until I find the time to make a proper bug report.

In the past I used a CanoScan LiDE 20 quite regularly from OpenBSD, but
that was several years ago.

And, check if your ISP is providing you with a public IP address. If your 
router’s external address is in one of the RFC1918-defined ranges you will not 
be able to reach it from the general internet.

Re: Trying to use OpenBSD as webserver, inside home network (ADSL internet connection)

[Oliver Marugg]

hi

check: which device does nat for you. On that device configure 
portforwarding from external to internal, eg external ip:port to your 
internal host:port. test it from outside.


ip forwarding on your OpenBSD laptop isnt necessary here, your laptop 
doesnt act as a router in your homesetup.

Re: Enabling Emulate3Buttons via xorg.conf

[Ve Telko]

Hello,

Emulate3Buttons option is "on" by default. Also there are
many protocols to test. Did you tried another mouse?

Also read man mouse(4). I don't think xorg.conf is not popular
in community but many people simply don't use graphical
interface :)

Flatbed scanner that works well with OpenBSD?

[Bryan Linton]

Hello misc@

I'm currently looking to purchase a scanner that works well with OpenBSD.

I'm aware of the list provided at: 

http://www.sane-project.org/sane-mfgs.html

but I recently purchased (and returned) a scanner that was listed as being
fully supported on that list because no matter what I did, I couldn't
get it to work right with xsane or scanimage.  Though I purchased it used,
so it's possible it may have simply been broken from the get-go.

Does anyone happen to know of a scanner that is *known* to work well
with OpenBSD?

I don't really have any hard requirements other than it should be able
to scan in color as well as black and white, and should be able to scan
up to a minimum of 600 dpi (1200 dpi or more would be nice, but is not
required).

I have a feeling that the majority of scanners currently on the market
meet or exceed that, so hopefully anything will work well so long as it's
compatible with OpenBSD.

Many thanks for any assistance anyone can provide.

In my personal opinion this is the time to ask what and how much they need that 
promise. The budget they have and what risk contra costs that might be needed. 
It also the time to look at products like BlackDuck to run that against you 
code. There is always a line between risk and cost, imho moving the cost into 
the openbsd project for this doesn’t see fair.

http_proxy for rc.firsttime after Upgrade

[Raimo Niskanen]

Hello list!

I have some machines behind a squid proxy and have set the http_proxy and
ftp_proxy environment variables both in /etc/profile and in /etc/login.conf
for the default login class.  This works well.

But after an upgrade when rc.firsttime calls fw_update and checks for
binary patches the proxy is not used, so I have to wait for that to time
out or break it with Ctrl-C and call fw_update manually.

So I just wonder if anybody have an idea of how to set the http_proxy and
ftp_proxy environment variables so they are picked up by rc.firsttime?

Best regards
