one way to accomplish this is to put your testing site on a subdomain
and the maint page on the main domain. only allow your ip to the testing
subdomain. allow all to maint domain. when done testing, swap things
out. there may be a way to block/allow with existing rewrite
rules/features, but i'm not very experienced with httpd and relayd, so i
would have to look it up, and i'm too lazy for that right now. :)

I can’t speak for the OpenBSD developers, but I personally don’t think
this would be generally useful. However, I can maybe give you some
advice on how to accomplish what you want without any changes to httpd.
Back before httpd included what it does today, I used to use a "shim"
that I created to customize HTTP requests to do whatever I needed, even
if the application I was using didn't work due to a lack of some
features in httpd. In my case, it was a PHP file that would modify the
request and then pass everything on to whatever application. I set up a
match rule in httpd.conf that would match anything and set it to call
that shim, which would then dispatch things as needed.
So, some pseudo code for a shim for your instance:
if (isInMaintenanceMode && ipAddress != myIpAddress) {
// output the maintenance page
} else {
// load the normal app
}
Hopefully you can figure out something that will work for your
situation.

Booting Alpha with a different root device
Hi everyone, I'm setting up an AlphaServer DS10 with 6.8. This model of AlphaServer has a buggy IDE controller which prevents the use of DMA under most circumstances so I installed a SATA controller. The controller is supported by OpenBSD, but not the SRM console so it's not directly bootable. I decided to install a small IDE disk module to use as a bootloader and ended up fighting with installboot(8) for a while but eventually got it to boot from the IDE drive and load the kernel. The problem is that now I need to set the N boot flag on every start in order to have it prompt me for the correct root device. On amd64, hppa, etc, you can pass parameters to the bootloader via /etc/boot.conf on the boot device but it doesn't look like that option exists on alpha. I did some checking but was wondering if there was a more permanent solution to this configuration problem (besides recompiling a new kernel with a new root partition...) on alpha, perhaps with a similar configuration file? I do want to get more experience with kernel and low-level programming, so adding a sticky configuration method for this would be something that would appeal to me as a project (if not for me, for everyone with Alphas in the same situation!) but I'd like to avoid reinventing the wheel if there's already a solution for this out there.

httpd - conditional redirects
Hope I'm putting this in the appropriate mailing list.
A minor (I hope) potential feature request for httpd:
I wish to redirect clients not from a certain IP (e.g. my public IP at
home) to a different location, temporarily. The purpose of this is to
allow setting up a "maintenance" page so that I can properly test my
site with a piece of mind before actually making it available to
other visitors. I personally consider this a crucial ability.
The way I would usually solve it via Apache is to use RewriteCond and
RewriteRule. For httpd, however, it could suffice to implement a simple
"redirect" directive maybe:
redirect [not] to
I could then accomplish what I want using two location blocks:
location match "^/maintenance.html$" {
root "/htdocs/example.com/maintenance"
}
location match ".*" {
redirect not my.ho.me.ip to scheme://host/maintenance.html
}
I warmly welcome other ideas to accomplish this as well.
Thanks.

That doesn't seem obvious from looking at mentions of "Xdefaults" in either the X(7) or xrdb(1) man pages, unless it's implied in this from xdrb(1): Xrdb does not load any files on its own, but many desktop environments use xrdb to load ~/.Xresources files on session startup to initialize the resource database, as a generalized replacement for ~/.Xdefaults ^ Allan

Are you using Mate, Jan? I'm using i3 and xterms started via xenodm. I also used WindowMaker with plain xterms. I also set fonts and colors via .Xresources, so it works. AFAIK, mate has it's own terminal emulator in the desktop environment. No idea if it honors Xresources. JV

Happens both in mate-terminal and in xterm. Unfortunately tricks like described above didn't help. I think, I also tried Xfce and had the same effect, not sure though. Strangely, if I open a new mate-terminal, $PWD and .profile are ignored; If I open the second tab, they are processed, though ... So I guess the next step is to upgrade to todays snap and test, I it stays the same, and wheter I may reproduce it with a more basic WM like CWM/FVWM ...
