Web2py running on openbsd 5.7 with new httpd server
Hi,
I would like to know if anyone have web2py running on OpenBSD 5.7 using
new httpd server. I've started web2py with fcgihandler and tried a simple
configuration with no luck (probably wrong, that's why I am asking here):
# cat /etc/httpd.conf
# $OpenBSD: httpd.conf,v 1.14 2015/02/04 08:39:35 florian Exp $

# Macros

server default {
listen on $ext_addr port 80
location /* {
fastcgi socket \
/tmp/fcgi.sock
}
root /var/www/htdocs
}
# Include MIME types instead of the built-in ones
types {
include /usr/share/misc/mime.types
}
Any help would be very appreciated. Thanks!!

Re: openbsd clusters
Hi, I am following this thread and I should say I consider myself a totally beginner on this kind of subjects. Whit that being said I need to ask this (probably I am wrong and I hope I am wrong because it gives me the possibility to learn from your answers): is there a way that OpenAFS fits in this design? I am thinking on a group of servers with some local partition schemes like Nick's thread but those servers belong to an OpenAFS cell/s for linear access from clients and all the replication that OpenAFS seems to provide?

Yes and no. Yes, the design is important. No, I actually do have a need for linear storage that can be easily expanded upon. I could use a NetApp or similar setup, but then I can't throw more CPU at the other side of the problem: using the stored data. So the bigger problem isn't storage space (disk is cheap, after all), rather than being able to slice and dice the data that's stored on the system. Processing huge files is much easier when when you have a dozen nodes to do it on. I fully agree that being able to later extract and migrate away from any storage solution is important. Along with that comes migration paths to new hardware, software, and simple failure recovery (bad disks, broken node, etc). Big data takes quite a bit of planning, but it's gotten much easier. Good thing I don't need to do this quickly...
Re: openbsd clusters
Is not this what you are trying to accomplish? http://docs.openafs.org/AdminGuide/index.html#HDRWQ57.html#HDRWQ59 and then, adding space: http://docs.openafs.org/AdminGuide/index.html#HDRWQ130.html and if you need to move the volume to another partition/bigger disk: http://docs.openafs.org/AdminGuide/index.html#HDRWQ177.html#HDRWQ179 Volumes are easy to move between partitions, on the same or different machines, because they are by definition smaller than a partition. Perhaps the most common reasons to move volumes are to balance the load among file server machines or to take advantage of greater disk capacity on certain machines. You can move volumes as often as necessary without disrupting user access to their contents, because the move procedure makes the contents unavailable for only a few seconds. The automatic tracking of volume locations in the Volume Location Database (VLDB) assures that access remains transparent.

They did replace my system with a proprietary system that cost many times as much). Only setup I can imagine which cannot fit into this setup of small partitions combined with filesystem structure and symlinks is this one 'unrestricted space offered directly to a user via ftp/sftp/ssh' As we cannot predict how fast and when he/she would fit the storage, moving later user's whole data to bigger one is slow and still not a solution. It seems to me that giving a user direct access to his data root dir while telling him about no space restriction is not possible. On the other hand, if the user would not require one big directory for his data, then filesystem layout could be hidden to the user and mentioned setup would fit - although instead of direct ftp/sftp the user would use some specialized client to get his files, the setup would use some UUID and keep track of UUID and his owner (or something similar). Any comments? Do exists some proxies which would mirror files immediately when a user is uploading them via some common protocol? And when the user deletes some of his files the proxy would delete the copy? (rsyncing later regularly could be quite problematic if you would have many users uploading for example a couple of GB files...). jirib
Weird sudo behavior?
Hi, Today I found something weird on sudo behavior (at least I wasn't aware of this). I logged in my server using ssh public key. Once I was in, I executed 'sudo -i' to become root. My user has full sudo access using password. Everything normal so far. Then I need it to open a new terminal (on my local computer) and opened a new ssh connection to the server again. This second time, using a different tty, I executed 'sudo -i' again and the server let me become root without ask for my password. Is this normal? I can imagine a scenario where an attacker got the public and private key of some user (but not the password) and just connect to the server and execute sudo in a time frame near to the user and get root access. Should sudo check, also, the tty of the user when is asking for the password? I am running OpenBSD 5.0 without any possibility to test that on 5.1 or current. Could somebody test it? Is that the normal behavior of sudo? Thanks so much in advance and kind regards, Alvaro
Re: Weird sudo behavior?
?? What are you trying to point me send me to the man page? The Once a user has been authenticated, a timestamp is updated and the user may then use sudo without a password for a short period of time (5 minutes unless overridden in sudoers). part? I was aware of this. This is the normal sudo behavior. My point is if it is fine that sudo assumes that one user connected on two different ttys should share the timestamp and execute sudo commands without ask for a password because then my paranoid scenario is possible.

NDOutils 1.5 on OpenBSD 5.0
Hi, I am trying to install NDOutils 1.5 on OpenBSD 5.0 amd64. I am having a weird error during compilation. I would like to know if somebody on this list has NDOutils 1.5 running with Nagios (from ports). Also, I created a pastebin file just in case somebody is interested on this ( http://pastebin.com/NpW4h9Lf ). Thanks! Alvaro Mantilla

I would like to know if somebody on this list has NDOutils 1.5 running with Nagios (from ports). No but icinga + idoutils is in ports/packages and should work ok. (the core program and classic aka nagios-style-but-nicer cgi web interface work well; idoutils has seen a bit less testing but should also work, the icinga-web port isn't quite finished yet but my uncommitted diffs are not far off).

Re: OpenBSD 4.5: pfctl -s info fails to give me the right interface statistics
patrick keshishian escribis: Not the same thing. The reverse; which indicates that only the last `set loginterface $if' is used; that is, you may not specify multiple `set loginterface $if' options. Try, adding your re0 and cdce0 to a single user defined group and use that group in your pf.conf for `set loginterface $thegroup'. But I suspect, this may not be what you are looking for. $ sudo ifconfig re0 group alvaro $ sudo ifconfig cdce0 group alvaro $ ifconfig to verify group names, then change your /etc/pf.conf to include: set loginterface alvaro reload rules: $ sudo pfctl -f /etc/pf.conf $ sudo pfctl -si That should give you stats for all interfaces belonging to the group alvaro. But, once again, this may not be what you want. That will give me the total amount of statistics for the group, right? That's not I want. I want to have separate statistics for the external interface and for the internal network. The firewall itself generates traffic that it is not related with the internal network. So, according to thisthere is no possible to get separate statistics for more than one interface or one groupright? --patrick Alvaro

I want to have separate statistics for the external interface and for the internal network. The firewall itself generates traffic that it is not related with the internal network. Well, in addition to the stuff henning mentioned, you could do things like use labels in your rules to collect statistics, or for that matter collect netflow data via pflow(4) and do all the data massaging you could possibly want based on the data you collect. Just my NOK 0.02. Uhyeap. I remembered to read about netflow in your book (very good by the way). I am already using labels on my rules. The point was to use pfstat to create the graphics (which is the way that I usually do) for each interface separately. Use netflow and the tools appropriated drive me in other direction to get the graphics. Thanks so much for your responses. Alvaro

Maybe Theo can put some light here...I think my developer skills are far to be good enough but, hey...I would like to try !! Regards, Alvaro beowuff escribis: Reading the article posted on undeadly.org: http://www.informit.com/articles/article.aspx?p=1393496 I was thinking it would be cool to have an Iphone running OpenBSD...

Joachim Schipper escribis: Actually, I think that's a rather low estimate. A lot of what people seem to like about the iPhone is the software: the hardware is neat and all, but not *that* different from other smartphones. Apple has spent a lot of money producing a really polished UI; duplicating that on OpenBSD would be an unpleasantly large amount of work. That is a very good point. Of course, if you're happy with a basic (X) terminal, that's a lot easier: but I don't really see the advantage of the iPhone over other smartphones there. As a small server maybe it could have a little fluxbox screen just to see the status of network, cpu load, etc... Or am I missing something? I must admit to not being sufficiently interested in this stuff to follow all the minutiae... Joachim

Jacob Yocom-Piatt escribis:
getting openbsd working on an iphone would be a pretty serious
undertaking and would require a lot of man hours that aren't currently
available. you have to remember that the project is mostly driven by
donated developer time.
Yes, I know. The developers are doing an amazing work. I am very
grateful for this awesome OS.
there is no doubt this would be sweet but you have to be realistic when
considering the amount of work it would take to make this happen. there
are 10 mln iphones in circulation so there is no shortage of machines
There is nothing it could be used from the ARM OpenBSD release? Maybe is
a start...
The iPhone is already using a BSD OS..so..is it possible that some of
the drivers required are already functional?

Re: OT: Old School Unix vs. Modern Day Support Professionals - was (Defending OpenBSD Performance)
+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1 :-) Brian Shackelford escribis: Correction, a professional OS that requires its users to be professionals. Not a bunch of whining windows update people that have to call IT to launch excel. In case you hadn't noticed we are old school UNIX users that don't mind fixing whatever problem is at hand. Including writing code or fixing a bug. This is why in the olden days your IT department was worth something and wasn't a bunch of monkeys reading a script. It is exactly your attitude that has ruined the computer industry. You have an odd definition of professional, and the kind of attitude that sounds like you haven't actually worked in the computer industry in a while. Generally, the computer industry is about providing services to end users. And things like easy updates, specialisation of labour and all of that kind of stuff have made us an awful lot better at taht than 'old school UNIX' ever was. You know it is interesting - having been in this industry for over 16 years - to see the attitudes of so many professionals in the IT industry. I make my living by fixing all the problems many of these so-called professionals cause when the work on things. It is so very troubling to get phone calls from people that have been laid off from their IT job in some of the large corporations where they commanded huge salaries and now they have opened their own business and are calling us for support because they don't have a clue about what it takes to actually do the work. I almost believe that the perception in this industry is if you can pronounce server, workstation, network, switch, hard drive, and a few other highly technical (btw - the should be read with sarcasm for you Microsoft folks out there) terms, that it is acceptable to call yourself an IT professional. Fact of the matter is that I have become convinced that those that know how to actually TROUBLESHOOT problems are in the very small minority in this industry. Don't get me wrong - I am by no means complaining - for it is how I get paid. I am just sick of so-called professionals with Master's Degrees in IT telling me that they are right and I am wrong because they think pushing a few buttons and having a degree makes them smarter than some of us that earned our experience. Old School Unix = People that KNOW what they are doing. I work with Macs, PC's, Windows, Novell, Mac OS, Linux, Unix, Windows, DOS (Yes some customers still use this), THEOS (anyone else heard of that one???). I have the certifications to prove my knowledge - but none of that means bupkiss if I can't fix a problem I have never seen before. The strength of Old-School Unix folks is their resourcefulness in fixing the problems they are faced with - whether they have seen that specific problem or not - without having to whine to everyone that it just doesn't work. If there is a problem -they fix it - sometimes that means writing code or hacking together a solution. I can't begin to tell you how many times a client has a call into Microsoft and we fix the problem hours (if not days) before Microsoft calls back simply by actually troubleshooting and researching the problem. Sometimes this means we actually (gasp) edit the registry. Now to bring this to the place of why this relates to OpenBSD. I love OpenBSD, we have some installs that have been in place for several years and I never even think about them. I lose sleep every night I go home when I think about all the Windows systems we manage, but I never even think about the OpenBSD boxes we have put in place. Performance - well three years running with no patches and never a problem and never been compromised. Let me see ANY other OS make that claim. Microsoft Server - connect to internet - compromised within minutes (actually happened to a customer of ours...) Sorry for the long-winded post. I am simply tired of reading whiny people complain about stuff they know nothing about. If you don't like it, don't use it. If you don't understand it, then don't use it - OR - (this might be earth shattering) take the time to LEARN to use it. There are lots of people here that will help when asked questions that show you have done your LEARNING BEFORE you ask. And how much did it cost you..? That is my $1.87 worth - flame me - stone me - whatever if you must - but again it is just one man's opinion. Placing my Order today for the new set - that should take the US to at least 11 copies..:)

Re: Kernel msg creating a ISO file from CD-ROM
I saw your post on the spanish list about this. There are some information missing on this post for people here. The image that you want to create is from a Wii dvd disk...right?. If you are trying to create a copy of a Wii disc then you need to create the .wod/.wii image (which is the raw image of the original disk and probably you need to pass some special options to dd like notrunc...for example) and then use an unscrambler program to decrypt that image and get the iso file from there. Once you have that you can burn the iso file as normal. At this moment I don't know about an unscrambler program for OpenBSD. Maybe somebody here can help with that, or maybe the people of the wiiscene have any program/procedure already. You should ask them too and, of course, share the answer with me after that ;-P Cheers, Alvaro Jesus Sanchez escribis: Robert escribis: On Mon, 07 Sep 2009 04:07:35 +0200 Jesus Sanchez zexe...@gmail.com wrote: Josh Grosse escribis: On Mon, Sep 07, 2009 at 02:45:33AM +0200, Jesus Sanchez wrote: on 4.5 stable.

You may find the readcd(1) tool included with cdrtools more helpful than dd(1) for reading optical discs. yep, tried with bs=2k and bs=4k and get same problem. and that is the intended behaviour of 'dd'. read the manpage. if the input ends unexpectedly (as it does in your case) you get info directed at std err - an error. yeah, I was going to post that the dd tries to overstep beyond the CD-ROM size and then reports error, but cdio cdrip also have problems with the end and report problems with the last track.

I'm trying also with DVDs and found that disklabel shows a 4.3 GB size of the DVD and dd stops before end ( about at 2.2-2.4 GB).

Re: OpenBSD 4.4: dnsbl just for port 25 (not msa 587)
Hi, I added the FEATURE(`delay_checks') in the .mc file, keep it the line DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Family=inet, Address=0.0.0.0, Port=587, Name=MSA M=Ea')dnl and it seems everything is so far so good.

OpenBSD 4.4: dnsbl just for port 25 (not msa 587)
Hello, Is there any way to apply dnsbl feature just on port 25 on the default openbsd sendmail configuration and do not apply that on port 587 (just auth smtp)? I googled it looking for answers but it seems people disabled dnsbl feature on sendmail and used it with spamassasin (which is not an option for me). Any advice? Thanks, Alvaro
Re: OpenBSD 4.4: dnsbl just for port 25 (not msa 587)
Hi, The openbsd-proto.mc file has these lines: FEATURE(`no_default_msa')dnl DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Family=inet, Address=0.0.0.0, Name=MTA')dnl DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Family=inet6, Address=::, Name=MTA6, M=O')dnl DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Family=inet, Address=0.0.0.0, Port=587, Name=MSA, M=E')dnl DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Family=inet6, Address=::, Port=587, Name=MSA6, M=O, M=E')dnl According to the /usr/share/sendmail/README file, it is necessary to add the a modifier to the line that define the MSA: Additionally, by using the M=a modifier you can require authentication before messages are accepted by the MSA If I understood well the line: DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Family=inet, Address=0.0.0.0, Port=587, Name=MSA, M=E')dnl would be: DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Family=inet, Address=0.0.0.0, Port=587, Name=MSA, M=Ea')dnl and then the smtp auth must work on port 587. Why the original line (without the a modifier) port 587 requires authentication as well?. Is it implicit in other place? I already checked several times the send process with/without the a modifier and I needed the authentication in both cases all the times to be able to send an email trough the 587 port. My question is because, as I said in my previous email, I want to separate the dnsbl verification just for port 25 and let the clients to authenticate and send the email on port 587 without pass trough the dnsbl lists verifications (as is defined by the line FEATURE(`dnsbl', `zen.spamhaus.org' that I added to openbsd-proto.mc). I just add the a modifier and I noticed a little delay when the client software (thunderbird on this case) do the authentication process for send the email. My problem is that I have users that connect to the server with dynamic IP addresses and they are rejected after the authentication process because the IP is on the PBL list with this message: This IP range has been identified by Spamhaus as not meeting our policy for IPs which should deliver 'direct-to-mx' mail to PBL users. Spamhouse said that the only thing I need to avoid that error is to have SMTP AUTH enable on the server on port 587 (which I already have as my previous question about the lines on openbsd-proto.mc). Can I assume that the MSA configuration (with the a modifier) will authenticate the user and let him send the email without pass trough the PBL verification, just doing the authentication process? In case my assumption is not correct...is there any way to separate that without to run another sendmail process (with a separate configuration) on port 587? Sadly I can test it myself because my IP does not appear on PBL lists and my users will connect during my sleep time (I am 8 hours behind). Some light here will be appreciate.

I dont know how their routes to the USA are but within europe they perform really good and their prices are nice as well. The only thing you cannot do there is host an irc server, but besides that, as long as it's legal, you can do whatever you want. They offer a nice set of operating systems.

IP aliases: how many in one server with OpenBSD 4.4? Is it possible to change the limit?
Hi, I have installed one OpenBSD 4.4 server with 258 IPs in hostname.em0 file but it seems not all the IPs are working. The server is running the GENERIC kernel. The content of the hostname.em0 is as follow (I am going to omit the real IPs intentionally): inet IP MASK NONE inet alias IP MASK If I run ifconfig command I can see the all IPs are assigned to the interface as expected: # ifconfig em0 | grep inet | wc 2591554 16203 It shows 258 inet addresses + 1 inet6 address (which is not in use). The main idea of this server is to run a DNS service and Apache virtual host for each IP for a total of 233 virtual hosts. At this moment I have 21 sites down because, for some reason, some of the IP defined are not responding. At the beginning I though it was an Apache issue but I realized that the DNS isn't working on that IPs either. If I run ping command from inside the server then some IPs answer and some others not. Is there any place into the source code where I can set the max IP address for the system? In that case: which is the maximum limit to reach? why? BTW...the server is showing the uvm_mapent_alloc: out of static map entries message too. Any help will be appreciated. Regards, Alvaro

Re: IP aliases: how many in one server with OpenBSD 4.4? Is it possible to change the limit?
Hi Jason, Your netmasks look wrong. The 2nd line should be a /32 since you've already defined the network on there. The others I can see are all /32 when at least one of them should be (and might be, but truncated from my view) larger to suggest a gateway of some sort. I don't know how your routing is done, so it's possible I'm not seeing the whole picture. In short, I suspect your netmasks are wrong. But since you can't give us all the information I can only give you my best guess. That data was configured on that server by the DC. It seems they are mapping all the addresses in the router to the main IP. Maybe you are right and it is a route problem. I am going to call the DC asking for their configuration. Anyways, the question is still valid: how many IP aliases we can reach in an OpenBSD system? which is the limit? Regards, Alvaro
Re: IP aliases: how many in one server with OpenBSD 4.4? Is it possible to change the limit?
Hi, I just answered Jason in the meantime this email arrive to my inbox. The data of the mask was entered by the DC. I was wear for me too when I saw the /32 but..as you point in your message...the man (5) of hostname.if saids: A typical file contains only one line, but more extensive files are pos- sible, for example: inet 10.0.1.12 255.255.255.0 10.0.1.255 media 100baseTX description Uplink inet alias 10.0.1.13 255.255.255.255 10.0.1.13 inet alias 10.0.1.14 255.255.255.255 NONE inet alias 10.0.1.15 255.255.255.255 inet alias 10.0.1.16 0x Which looks to me like the configuration on the server.

Re: php+apache+mysql on 4.4
Hi Stuart, Two reasons: 1) You are right. I can edit that directly on /etc/my.cnf but (if I remember well) I need to edit two lines on that file. One for the server and another one for the client. My step do both directly during the installation process. 2) Porno geek. I like to see the cool compilation lines on the screen. It is my personal choice. Don't we have the ports collection for that too? :-P Seriously, I use packages very few timesand for a good reason (i.e. not enough time to install the computer/server) and I prefer to compile the ports. Anyways, I think most people do that change to have the opportunity to access MySQL socket from the standard Apache chrooted directorysojust a proposal: maybe it would be good to have a flavor for the default MySQL server installation...something like: env FLAVOR=apache_chroot.

Hi folks, I have installed the OpenBSD 4.2 on imac but i can't configure X. Everytime i try to run X the monitor goes to black and i can't see the console either. The system respond commands from ssh and local keyboard (i can reboot the system with reboot command even if i don't see what i am typing). I check the X configuration and it seems to be fine. I attached the dmesg, xorg.conf and Xorg.0.log output below: OpenBSD 4.2 (GENERIC) #1517: Tue Aug 28 10:42:20 MDT 2007 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/src/sys/arch/macppc/compile/GENERIC real mem = 134217728 (128MB) avail mem = 117678080 (112MB) mainbus0 at root: model PowerMac2,2 cpu0 at mainbus0: 750 (Revision 0x3202): 350 MHz: 512KB backside cache memc0 at mainbus0: uni-n kiic0 at memc0 offset 0xf8001000 iic0 at kiic0 mpcpcibr0 at mainbus0 pci: uni-north, Revision 0xff pci0 at mpcpcibr0 bus 0 pchb0 at pci0 dev 11 function 0 Apple Uni-N AGP rev 0x00 vgafb0 at pci0 dev 16 function 0 ATI Rage 128 PK rev 0x00, mmio wsdisplay0 at vgafb0 mux 1: console (std, vt100 emulation) mpcpcibr1 at mainbus0 pci: uni-north, Revision 0x0 pci1 at mpcpcibr1 bus 0 pchb1 at pci1 dev 11 function 0 Apple Uni-N rev 0x00 macobio0 at pci1 dev 23 function 0 Apple Keylargo rev 0x03 openpic0 at macobio0 offset 0x4: version 0x4614 little endian macgpio0 at macobio0 offset 0x50 macgpio1 at macgpio0 irq 47 programmer-switch at macgpio0 not configured escc-legacy at macobio0 offset 0x12000 not configured zsc0 at macobio0 offset 0x13000: irq 22,50 zstty0 at zsc0 channel 0 zstty1 at zsc0 channel 1 awacs0 at macobio0 offset 0x14000: irq 24,9,10 speaker audio0 at awacs0 timer at macobio0 offset 0x15000 not configured adb0 at macobio0 offset 0x16000 irq 25: via-pmu, 0 targets apm0 at adb0: battery flags 0x1, 0% charged kiic1 at macobio0 offset 0x18000 iic1 at kiic1 wdc0 at macobio0 offset 0x1f000 irq 19: DMA wd0 at wdc0 channel 0 drive 0: QUANTUM FIREBALLlct15 07 wd0: 16-sector PIO, LBA, 7162MB, 14668290 sectors atapiscsi0 at wdc0 channel 0 drive 1 scsibus0 at atapiscsi0: 2 targets cd0 at scsibus0 targ 0 lun 0: LG, CD-ROM CRN-8242B, LASC SCSI0 5/cdrom removable wd0(wdc0:0:0): using PIO mode 4, DMA mode 2 cd0(wdc0:0:1): using PIO mode 4, DMA mode 2 wdc1 at macobio0 offset 0x2 irq 20: DMA wdc2 at macobio0 offset 0x21000 irq 21: DMA ohci0 at pci1 dev 24 function 0 Apple USB rev 0x00: irq 27, version 1.0 ohci1 at pci1 dev 25 function 0 Apple USB rev 0x00: irq 28, version 1.0 usb0 at ohci0: USB revision 1.0 uhub0 at usb0: Apple OHCI root hub, rev 1.00/1.00, addr 1 usb1 at ohci1: USB revision 1.0 uhub1 at usb1: Apple OHCI root hub, rev 1.00/1.00, addr 1 mpcpcibr2 at mainbus0 pci: uni-north, Revision 0x16 pci2 at mpcpcibr2 bus 0 pchb2 at pci2 dev 11 function 0 Apple Uni-N Eth rev 0x00 gem0 at pci2 dev 15 function 0 Apple Uni-N GMAC rev 0x01: irq 41, address 00:30:65:ec:07:2a bmtphy0 at gem0 phy 0: BCM5201 10/100 PHY, rev. 2 uhub2 at uhub0 port 1: Mitsumi Electric Hub in Apple Extended USB Keyboard, rev 1.10/1.22, addr 2 uhidev0 at uhub2 port 1 configuration 1 interface 0 uhidev0: Mitsumi Electric Apple Extended USB Keyboard, rev 1.10/1.22, addr 3, iclass 3/1 ukbd0 at uhidev0: 8 modifier keys, 6 key codes, country code 13 wskbd0 at ukbd0: console keyboard, using wsdisplay0 uhidev1 at uhub2 port 1 configuration 1 interface 1 uhidev1: Mitsumi Electric Apple Extended USB Keyboard, rev 1.10/1.22, addr 3, iclass 3/0 uhidev1: 3 report ids uhid0 at uhidev1 reportid 2: input=1, output=0, feature=0 uhid1 at uhidev1 reportid 3: input=3, output=0, feature=0 bootpath: /[EMAIL PROTECTED]/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/bsd root on wd0a swap on wd0b dump on wd0b - end dmesg -- $ cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf # File generated by xorgconfig. # # Copyright 2004 The X.Org Foundation # # Permission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person obtaining a # copy of this software and associated documentation files (the Software), # to deal in the Software without restriction, including without limitation # the rights to use, copy, modify, merge, publish, distribute, sublicense, # and/or sell copies of the Software, and to permit persons to whom the # Software is furnished to do so, subject to the following conditions: # # The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included in # all copies or substantial portions of the Software. # # THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED AS IS, WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR # IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, # FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NONINFRINGEMENT.

Re: BOINC software on OpenBSD
Hi, You are right...there is two unofficial projects for OpenBSD but none of both seems to work, and there is a little information about how to do it work. Thanks for your response. I appreciate that. Best Regards, Alvaro Tasmanian Devil wrote: Hello! I just want to know if somebody has running any Boinc client on OpenBSD. Looks like there are also a few unofficial, working ports for OpenBSD: http://boinc.berkeley.edu/trac/wiki/DownloadOther Maybe I'll try it myself if this project is useful, I'll read their webpage later. So far I run the distributed.net client on OpenBSD boxes, which works similar, though not because the distributed.net project is so useful in my opinion, but just to generate 100% CPU load (which prevents a possible attack on another software I run). Boinc could do the same for me. Tas.
Re: BOINC software on OpenBSD
Hi, They (Boinc) have a source code of the client if you want to make your own Unix client but...for some reason it does not compile. Before do a simple configure, it is necessary to run an _autosetup program that insist to not recognize the tools that are in the system. I am not a developer and, honestly, i was stuck yesterday on that part. Like i said, maybe the bad news confuse my head a lot Thanks for your response, i appreciate it.

You can probably use Linux emulation to get it running. But maybe you will have to make it believe it is a Linux system to get it to download the Linux binaries.

Just my idea (never had more than 3 boxes at once): On my main box, I'd have a separate copy of /etc and other files for each class of box, where a class is a group of boxes with the same configs. Perhaps each of your boxes are different so the class concept is irrelevant. To change a box's config, I'd change these files in the normal way, then use rsync (via ssh) to update the altered boxes. To run a command-line command on a group of boxes, I'd likely write a script that took the command line and a class of machines on which to run it. The script would send back any error messages recevied and from which box it was received. This script would be useful for making changes other than to individual files, e.g. deleting files (more direct than relying on rsync --delete), or chmod/chown. Unless all the boxes are using the same OS, I'd probably write a script for handling adding and removing users and groups (since each OS does it slightly differently). Then again, this is probably reinventing the wheel. Doug. Too much work. Use cfengine. It is on ports.

Ok, I'm no expert, but heres my understanding of this: What is the native sample rate of the sound card? Most things are encoded for 44,100. A lot of cheap sound cards use 48,000, which results in the audio sounding too fast. ---8--- audioctl -a | grep rate play.rate=44100 ---8--- You can try changing this variable, but a lot of soundcards don't let you. If this is the case, then you need to find a player, which can re-sample the audio to the rate of your sound card (mplayer will), but alas, you might end up with a less preffered player. The other thing that causes fast playback, is mono audio files. This effectively halves the sample rate of the file(?). Some operating systems re-sample this stuff in-kernel. OpenBSD does not. This is why I made sure I had a good quality sound card for use with OpenBSD.

Upgrade process in 4.2
Hi, I just download the last snapshots available on ftp.openbsd.org. note Because my new and shiny CDs not arrive yet to Costa Rica and i can't wait to install 4.2 /note. I was reading the faq on the OpenBSD web: -Current is where active development work is done, and eventually, it will turn into the next -release of OpenBSD. Every six months, when a new version of OpenBSD is released, -current is tagged, and becomes -release: a frozen point in the history of the source tree. -Stable is based on -release . -stable is also known as the patch branch. Upgrading is the process of installing a newer version of OpenBSD So...i have a question here: is it possible install 4.2 from snapshots, then upgrade to release (a frozen point...) and then goes to stable???

Both OpenBSD and HP-UX can do LDAP, yes, but it's yourself that makes the difference here. Oh, and you have much more freedom in picking out your hardware (back to the cheap tangent.) -- Travers Buda It would be wonderful convince my boss with that argumentbut the next question he will ask is: What ifyou die tomorrow?? Who can maintain the system??... Thanks anywayit is a good point to mention on the conversation with my boss. Alvaro

Can you send me a dmesg of this computers? I think it is a good start to know how big is the hardware that i need to support something like that with OpenBSD... It is in operation for several years now, not a single problem with it. Which version of OpenLDAP are you running in this moment?? I can say nothing about HP-UX, but OpenBSD surely is a stable foundation for an OpenLDAP server. - Marc Balmer, micro systems Thanks in advance, alvaro

How was your adventure?? Can you be more specific?? I know the cost part...obviously it is more cheaper run OpenBSD that HP-UX. But i need more...something really heavy like I tried to install an OpenLDAP with HP-UX and the system load with 2000 users rise to the sky...but the same number of users with OpenBSD had an incredible performance and never pass from 10% of loador whatever... you CANNOT discount the value of having essentially direct access to the devs on these lists. the karma and assistance you receive as a result of making even small donations is considerable and, in my experience, better than any phone or tech support i've received from companies that support enterprise software. for a fraction of the cost of a support contract you can get direct access to the programmers and cut out the nimwits on the phone you have to wade through. I agree with you... as jc said, the only situation i can imagine where you'd want to run something enterprise is in the case that you need a monolithic server. unless the hardware is wacky, i'd still be inclined to run an opensource OS on it for the support reasons cited above. not very familiar with LDAP configs here but i imagine there is a way to spread load between machines, making the monolithic solution pointless. thanks for the reminder to investigate LDAP more closely... =) Thanks to you...

And this is, i think, the main point for my boss and his not understanding about the advantages of OpenBSD over HP-UX. But...i have hope yet...he does not close the door to the OpenBSD possibility. He wants probes...only i need to find a heavy argument. For example...the developers that port OpenBSD to HPPA and HP300 platformsmaybe they have benchmarks between this machines running HP-UX and/or OpenBSD. It works better?? LDPA has similarities to both database servers and file servers, so even though it's not an exact match, performance metrics for database/flle servers may be relevant to LDAP. As always, *YOUR* environment and requirements must be tested to get any truly meaningful performance metrics. If you have truly insane load and storage requirements, and an unlimited budget, spending a quarter of a million dollars on a very high end, 16+ CPU, Itanium box running HP-UX may be a better choice than OpenBSD. Then again, if that's really the case, I would prefer to go with big Sun hardware and Solaris under those circumstances. This is a good point too. Is it the performance of OpenBSD running on Sun computers equal to Solaris?? Personally...i think Solaris...sucks !! But there is no a technical opinion here...it is only i like the OpenBSD way to do the things. For me, Solaris is a like a big dinosaur. By comparison, the multiple processor support in OpenBSD is for i386 and amd64, and how well it will scale in *YOUR* situation can only be found through testing. Personally, I've never seen a 16+ CPU dmesg, but I'm not a project developer, and someone may very well be using OpenBSD on such hardware. Anyone that wants share his experience with this type of hardware? There are people from this list who deal with fairly large LDAP/SASL installations on OpenBSD. Chris Paul (sentinare.com) and Jason Dixon (dixongroup.net) come to mind but I'm sure there are others. Do you have their emails?? Please, give my email to them if they decide to share some information with me. (I look the emails too, maybe are public...i don't want to bother anyone with unwanted email). The best business decision is the solution that gives you the greatest reliability and security for your requirements with the least amount of investment. OpenBSD has a very good chance of coming out on top in the majority of fairly tested comparisons. The corner case of insane loads and storage requirements is the one *possible* exception but even then, it may be sufficient. Do you have urls of this fairly tests? jcr Thank you so much Alvaro
