When not overridden (for example, by ‘ftp-proxy -a ’) which of the public addresses will be chosen as the source address for connections to the Internet originating on the firewall? It would make sense to me for the one address not declared as an alias to always be chosen, but I haven’t found anything that states this to be true. I want to (for example) keep traffic from systems I control separate from that from the WiFi subnet (which I’ll NAT to a different public address). I plan to use tags to control policy, initially tagging each new connection based mostly (but not entirely) on which interface it arrives through. But, unless I’m missing something, connections originating on the firewall can’t be tagged this way since they don’t arrive through any interface. Which also seems to mean that all policy decisions must be made outbound, since that’s the only time that connections originating on the firewall will pass through an interface. And I haven’t found any way of filtering on untagged connections (something like ‘! tagged any’ would be nice).

OT - "Intel Management Engine" security issues
While this isn't specifically an OpenBSD issue, since OpenBSD emphasizes
security this seems like a good place to ask.
As far as I can tell the "Intel Management Engine" (IME) is a gaping
backdoor into every recent Intel-based system. My searches on the 'net
haven't turned up much useful information about it.
I'd really like to find documentation on how to configure and use it,
though I'd settle for just enough to know how to lock it down or disable
it such that it can't be used to attack me from the 'net.
While this wouldn't work for a laptop, for desktop systems it might be
sufficient to use an add-in NIC rather than the built-in one -- but the
limited info I've found suggests that the IME may be able to snoop on
all devices and so defeat this tactic. Does anyone here know?
Thanks for any information,
Dave

Re: Why on earth would online voting be insecure?
[Off-topic; sorry. It's important to remind people of this issue, but I won't follow up any further.] This sort of security, no matter how well done, doesn't address one of the very important but often forgotten features of voting in person at a polling place: it makes it very difficult to buy or extort votes, since there's no way to reliably confirm how someone actually voted. With online (or by mail, etc) voting there's nothing to prevent someone from watching while a vote is cast.

As far as security after the election, mount the servers in a Brinks truck or something, it just sounds like a ludicrous excuse. Something like: for each election the town government mails you a random number that's your key to vote that election. You go to a website and put in your town, name, SSN, and the key. If somebody steals the mail they won't have your SSN. If Russian hackers or whoever tries to impersonate you online they won't have the key. It's bringing those 2 pieces of information plus your name and town together that makes it secure. Just guessing. Did I overlook anything? -- Dave Anderson <d...@daveanderson.com>

Or maybe the local museum will have a 300bps acoustic-coupler modem I can borrow?) Wikipedia currently says that at least some Silent 700s could be locally connected: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silent_700 Of course, that technically sort of takes away the tele- part from the teleprinter (which is not to say that the device was now just a printer), but I definitely think that an install to a locally attached teleprinter counts. The key here is that it's monitorless, so not a glass terminal; the paper is the only place where you get to see output.

I vaguely recall once doing an OpenBSD install where the "console" path was: Local VT220 -> multiplexer -> modem -> DATAPAC 3101 (Canadian X.25 service) PAD -> remote PAD -> remote dial-out service -> another modem -> another multiplexer -> serial line into, IIRC, ttyA on a Sun system I was helping someone repurpose.

Advice requested -- how best to copy a disk
My apologies for what seems to be a rather simple and not really OpenBSD specific question, but searching hasn't found any good answers. I've got an old PC running i386 OpenBSD which is dying; the disk seems to be good, but I need to replace the rest of the hardware. Usually I'd just move the disk to the new system, but the old system is EIDE and the new one is SATA -- so I need to copy the old disk (which I can put in an external enclosure and connect to the new system via USB) to the new one (which is a different size and probably a different geometry, so the new and old partitions probably won't be exactly the same sizes). It's clearly possible to boot the new system from an install CD (or, if necessary, a USB stick with a full install on it) then fdisk and disklabel the new disk and newfs / dump|restore the partitions one by one, followed up by installboot, editing the duids in /etc/fstab, and fixing up /etc/hostname.*, but I'm hoping that there's a better way.

Any explanations or ideas as to how to figure out exactly what is broken would be greatly appreciated. Your hard disk is in the process of (hopefully slowly!) breaking. This started while untarring the ports tree from the source CD immediately after upgrading from 5.4-release to 5.5-release (from CD). I initially guessed that it was related to some change in 5.5, but testing while booted from install CDs for 5.4-release, 5.6-20140822 and a 4.7-release I had handy all give the same result. Normal. It won't matter what software you're running because it's a hardware issue. The error appears to be tied to a particular spot on the disk (it seems to occur when, e.g., I try to 'ls' a particular directory) Yes. It'll be some particular sector that the disk controller is having difficulty reading. No matter what version of the OS you boot, those directory entries still reside on the same sector on disk. but it looks to me like it could be a controller error or perhaps a controller quirk which OpenBSD doesn't handle well. The only information about it I can find is these two messages in /var/log/messages: Aug 18 14:08:08 minya /bsd: ahci0: attempting to idle device Aug 18 14:08:08 minya /bsd: ahci0: couldn't recover NCQ error, failing all outstanding commands. Nope. The quirk is that your HDD is taking too long to read that sector (normally because of too many retries), the AHCI stack times out, and the only sane thing to do with timing out a request is to pretend all the other pending commands have also failed - otherwise you could get undefined results (i.e. even worse errors). Presumably the HDD eventually manages to read the sector, and succeeds the time the VFS or block-cache or whatever I/O layer resubmits the request for that data. Otherwise you'd see other error messages following the two you mention. I've hunted through all the other log files I can think of without finding anything that looks related. Other than this, the system appears to be running normally (though I haven't been doing much with it other than poking around trying to understand this problem). Nope - this is the only symptom you're likely to see, unless you happen to be running some sort of SMART monitor and you happen to be monitoring correctable read errors in that tool. From the hard disk's standpoint, all is well - you asked for a sector, and it (eventually) gave it to you. The only problem is that your software is too impatient, from a certain point of view. That all makes sense. Thanks. It would be nice if that error message mentioned the timeout -- I think that would have convinced me that it was definitely the disk that was dying rather than it possibly being something else. From a real-world point of view, however, you probably should make sure everything on that disk is backed up. Then you should either do a low-level format (almost impossible nowadays[1]) and still not trust it for important data, or just replace it. -Adam [1] While low-level formatting is not really possible nowadays unless you work in the manufacturer's lab, a few ATA Secure Erase passes might resuscitate the disk for a while if you really, really, REALLY don't want to replace it right now for some reason. Most people boot a Linux CD to do this, but atactl(8) appears to support the secerase command. There are all sorts of things that could prevent you from doing this, and if you can't work past them, you probably should just throw the drive away. Yup, time for a new disk.

Since I expect that it would be useful to the developers to have this info for the current crop of notebooks, I plan to do another data-gathering session sometime in the next few weeks. I'll be using an amd64 snapshot and, as FAQ 4.10 requests, will gather both 'dmesg' and 'sysctl hw.sensors' output using both the sp and mp kernels for each system. Since the data collection will be scripted it will be easy to also gather other information; pcidump, usbdevs and acpidump come to mind. What would be useful for the developers? I've got a store which has several dozen demo notebooks and will let me gather data from them, but there won't be an opportunity to go back -- I need to get all of the useful info at once. So, my questions to the developers: 1) Does it matter which amd64 snapshot I use? Are there any recent or forthcoming ones which are especially good or bad for this purpose? 2) What additional information should I collect? Exact commands and options, please. I don't mind installing tools which aren't in base, but the output needs to go to, or be able to be redirected to, a file. 3) Other than the dmesg/sensor info which will go to dm...@openbsd.org, where should I send the additional info? If there's no suitable place, I can just keep it around and let anyone who needs it ask me for it. Dave -- Dave Anderson d...@daveanderson.com

But my question was about what to do with any non-dmesg info I capture (whatever the developers tell me might be useful, perhaps acpidump, usbdevs, pcidump, ...).

That's all. The advantage of using pure ASCII plus HTML escapes in a page is that it displays the correct content regardless of declared character encoding. The disadvantage is that it means adding escapes *everywhere*. Can you imagine writing http://www.openbsd.org/cs/ in anything but native UTF-8? At some point we have to pick an encoding and stick with it. So again, the complaint was that there was mojibake gibberish in Ingo's presentation, because the character encoding isn't specified but defaults to UTF-8 in modern browsers, while the page is actually iso-8859-1 encoded. Actually, modern browsers do not default to a particular encoding (in fact, this violates the HTML standard). Instead, they attempt to autodetect the charset. Sometimes this works, and sometimes it doesn't -- I've seen UTF-8 pages incorrectly detected as ISO-8859-1, and in particularly bad cases, vice versa. There were many objection to a simple addition of HEADMETA http-equiv=Content-Type content=text/html; charset=iso-8859-1 /HEAD/ as a fix. Yes, this is pretty ugly. But the only alternative is using one encoding everywhere and setting the appropriate HTTP header instead of an HTML meta tag. Actually, that's not a bad idea, but it means using UTF-8 on all pages, since that's the only encoding that can handle the different translations on the OpenBSD website. It would also require removing or altering meta tags on all pages (but considering the alternative is *adding* meta tags to all pages...). But then I thought, what about browsers that don't support UTF-8 yet; this is going to break things for them. I challenge you to find a single browser in ports that doesn't. IE6 supports UTF-8 properly. Even Lynx works fine when the user has a UTF-8 locale. (And ISO-8859-* are also locale-dependent, so this is not any worse.) So, in summary, the options are: Use HTML escapes everywhere. IMO, highly impractical. Use any encoding you wish, and set a meta tag when appropriate. This is basically what we have now. (The front pages of /, /de/, /fr/ all use ISO-8859-1; /cs/ uses UTF-8; /lt/ uses ISO-8859-13.) Use UTF-8 everywhere, and enforce this either with an HTTP header or meta tags. You missed one: use any encoding you wish, and configure the server to send the proper charset value in the real headers (by encoding the appropriate charset info in the file-name extension). This does suffer from combinatorial explosion if you have have both lots of different charsets and lots of different types of files to serve, but usually isn't especially difficult. Done properly, it _always_ works when files are viewed through the server, though (as someone pointed out) it doesn't help if files are viewed directly from a browser.

I was limiting the options to those that can be easily mirrored. All of those are basically server-agnostic; yours is not. A valid, though not insurmountable, issue. The necessary configuration is pretty simple, and IIRC can be done via .htaccess files so you don't even need to own the server. And I can't imagine a situation when you'd ever want to do that anyway--sticking to one encoding is much simpler and saner. Well, it depends... If one can convert the existing site to UTF-8 and maintain it in that form without significant extra effort on the part of the maintainers, yes. But I don't know if the various tools in use allow this. Dave -- Dave Anderson d...@daveanderson.com

Why not just use the AddDefaultCharset directive to ensure that a charset is specified in the real header for all pages? Or is this known to break some browsers that are still in use? because AddDefaultCharset is a braindead concept. No, just one that needs to be applied only when appropriate. The truly braindead idea is that of partially parsing a file in order to find out what charset you should have been using in doing that parsing. This only mostly works because, for the typical page content from the beginning through any META elements, the encoding specified by most charset values happens to match the encoding specified by 8859-1. as the apache config file comment says (on debian): # In general, it is only a good idea if you know that all your files # have this encoding. It will override any encoding given in the files # in meta http-equiv or xml encoding tags. Precisely. In the case under discussion (where, IIRC, the files in question were all 8859-1 but some of them did not get a charset specified in the real headers) it does exactly what is needed. In more complicated situations more configuration is needed and, if this is done properly, setting a default charset may not be appropriate. setting AddDefaultCharset is a sure way to break any content on your site that happens to be written in the non-default-charset, as the server setting overrides the explicit meta-tag. Not true at all. If you're using different charset values for different files, you need to set up a pattern in your file naming which encodes which charset value is appropriate for each type of file and tell the webserver about it; it then emits the appropriate header for each file. For dynamic content it's even simpler -- the program producing the content should also provide the corresponding header information. the webserver has no business telling the client what charset the content will be in. it cannot know. especially for dynamic content. the webserver simply shuffles bytes. sometimes it can give a hint with mime-types, sometimes not. Nonsense! Dave -- Dave Anderson d...@daveanderson.com

The kind of confirmation I expected is something like: This will erase all partitions, are you sure (y/n)?, or an opportunity to review the settings before committing to the install. The thing is, then you'll want another after you edit disklabel, and another before running newfs (which is the first part which is likely to be really tough to recover from). And then when the OS is booted maybe you'll want rm to ask for confirmation, etc. To be fair (which is a bit difficult given the tone of the original message) he has identified what may be the only place in the install process where a single wrong keystroke can do major damage. Everyplace else I can think of there's at least an opportunity to abort the installation after making a mistake but before the damage is done.

Aaargh! Not quite, it turns out. This superficially appears to work,
and does seem to work in the non-DUID case, but I evidently didn't look
at the results carefully enough. In the DUID case, rather than copying
/ to the altroot partition it copies it to /dev/rduid.partition!
My bad. Apologies to all.
I remember seeing a commit which sounds like it might tweak some
low-level functions to translate DUIDs into devices; I'll upgrade to a
current -current and see if this problem goes away.

I always thought of this as some kind of misbehaviour in between OpenCVS and GNU cvs, because i would think of cvs(1) as something like this: cvs up . | read CVS/Entries | for those files with diff. timestamps, checksum file | send list [+ checksums] to server | server compare revision/timestamp/[checksum] - client unmodified: send diff (expected final checksum?) - client modified: send full file (if size treshold), otherwise do blockwise checksumming etc. (i.e. rsync-like) [I don't really believe cvs(1) does the latter though.] | integrate diffs / replace locally modified files Wether cvs(1) does do some rsync-like block-checksumming for locally modified files or not, uploading 10% of the repositories size or more before any data is sent from the server just can't be correct anyhow. Even more for my usage case because there were no locally modified files at all. And also the problem goes away if you do specify files directly, as with a file glob, so it makes a difference wether you say $ cvs -fz9 up -PAC . or $ cvs -fz9 up -PAC *.* I don't remember wether i've used -d or not. So for me this turned out as either look into the code, instrument some functions and try to fix it or turn over to cvsync. And GNU cvs is hard to look at, with a lot of comments which refer to some (numeric or so) error reports. But it would surely be interesting to know what is going wrong. --steffen I like to say that long delays I have seen when using cvs had to do with multiple different values of CVS/Root files in my local tree. Those different entries can be created when doing a cvs up -d that creates a new dir. If a cvs -d option is used at the same time, the CVS/Root entry for tht dir wil be different than the other's. The exact cause of the slowdown is not known to me. But when you are switch repositories once in a while it's easy to get this case. I repair this by find . -name Root | xargs rm and using a explicit cvs root. -Otto Hmmm. That doesn't seem to [fully] explain the slowdowns I've seen, since I always use an explicit cvs root (following the FAQ) though I certainly have switched repositories from time to time.

I plan to. Dropping them felt kind of iffy; thanks for the confirmation that it isn't the way to go. Apparently, Philip gets away with it, but he's a developer and he knows this stuff pretty well, we don't expect ordinary users to clean up the mess it can make. I'll defer to his expertise on coding and probably CVS, but there are many things in many parts of the tree where a lack of a -Pd will hurt you in ways other than slow updates. There are thousands of ways to use cvs incorrectly, -Pd is the correct way to do updates (or maybe -PAd under some circumstances). And none of this has anything to do with your real problem. I run far slower hardware than most people, and xenocara updates don't take nine hours (and if I understand you, that was nine hours then you gave up and killed it). This has NOTHING TO DO WITH COMMAND LINE OPTIONS. I wrote the FAQ you used, I use that FAQ, and I do it on hardware like mac68k and sparc, and it works, it does not take nine hours to update xenocara (it just feels like it...) No, it was about 9 hours from issuing the cvs update command until there was any visible action; the update ran to completion in a total of about 11 hours. I've killed some other update attempts which ran even longer without any visible action. If you could...next time you see this, use a CVSROOT=anon...@obsd.cec.mtu.edu:/cvs and see if things run better. NOTE: DO NOT GET USED TO USING THIS MIRROR, IT IS BEING SHUT DOWN VERY SOON. But, being it's been being advertised as being shut down, it's pretty lightly loaded, and it handles the CVS temp directory as an mfs, which really really helps (this is on the server end. Nothing you can do about it on your side). My hunch, as a soon-to-be former mirror operator is that you are having a problem with your mirror of choice, not a problem on your end, and it may be a problem with multiple mirrors. I've tried 3 or 4 different servers, and have had this problem with all of them (at least some of the time). I just checked out xenocara from that mirror, and then did an update on my amd64 system, the update took less than one minute. Your results will vary, but not to nine hours, unless you are using dialup. :) I do have a slowish ADSL link (384Kbps/1536Kbps) which would limit me to very roughly 1MB/min outbound, so I took advice to use '-z 9' to compress data and that reduced the total time for a xenocara source tree update from about 11 hours to about 2.5 hours. (Though I discovered that not all servers support compression.) Then I did a test update of xenocara against your server (still using -z 9), and the entire process took barely 1 minute. I then retried that upgrade against the server I've been using (anoncvs.comstyle.com), and the total time was just under 3 minutes. As a final (for the moment) test I did (against my usual server and with -z 9) an update of my entire source tree and the total times were src: 7:37, xenocara: 3:55, ports: 41:58, and www: 2:39 -- for a total of about 55 minutes. I've no idea why I'm suddenly getting so much faster responses. Does cvs update send a potentially large but extremely variable amount of data from my system to the server? If so, that (plus my slowish uplink) might explain some of these timings. But the cause of these massive variations is not at all obvious from where I sit. Thanks for any further info.

'pkg_add -u' question
I have a notebook with a couple of devices which require non-free firmware. When I installed 5.0-release (amd64 from CD) it asked me if I wanted those files downloaded on first boot; when I said YES it proceeded to find and download them and everything 'just worked'. (This was very convenient; my thanks to the developers who made it happen.) But when I upgraded to a 5.0-current snapshot (and later rebuilt from source, most recently as of 9 January 2012) and then ran 'pkg_add -ui' it was unable to update those files: Couldn't find updates for uvideo-firmware-1.2p0, iwn-firmware-5.6p0. I'd expect that making 'pkg_add -u' able to find these files would be fairly simple (either by giving it access to the same data used by the installer or by recording where it was found with any package added from a source not in PKG_PATH), and it would certainly make life a bit more convenient when upgrading. Am I missing something important, is this on someone's TODO list, do the installer and pkg_add developers not talk to each other, or what? Thanks in advance for any information. Dave PS: Before someone jumps all over me, I am _not_ demanding that anyone drop everything and implement this immediately; I'd just like to understand why this doesn't work and whether it's likely to start working anytime soon. And I recognize we've got more urgent/important things to do as a good reason for leaving this alone. I haven't looked into the pkg_add source myself because it's large, complicated and (especially) under active development. -- Dave Anderson d...@daveanderson.com

Am I missing something important, is this on someone's TODO list, The only (potential, minor) problem i see is that people might run pkg_add(1), see the couldn't find, and not know about fw_update(1). That's probably what happened to you. Yes. I'm not sure how to improve that. Messages printed by programs should be terse, so i don't think pkg_add(1) should print a suggestion to run fw_update(1) when it sees *-firmware-* packages it can't update. Most people will know that anyway, and there is no strong reason to check for firmware updates at that particular time. Maybe it could be mentioned in the pkg_add(1) manual. Then again, that manual doesn't document the Couldn't find updates diagnostic at all, so far. Perhaps when the 'Install non-free firmware files on first boot' option is selected the installer should mention fw_update? And/or 'pkg_add -u' should mention it as a possible solution if it issues the couldn't find message? I probably should have tried 'apropos firmware', but was fixated on pkg_add and didn't think to look for a different tool. _Some_ sort of more prominent mention of fw_update appears to be desirable.

This is precisely why I don't own an iPad or iPhone - I want ownership of what I bought. And that there is the answer. Complain all you want, if you spend the money on the product, you have just said, I accept this product exactly as it is, I like this product more than I like having the money in my pocket and all your complaining becomes moot. The vendor's job is to get your money. That's how you indicate satisfaction with a product -- not the protests and complaints. The reason a vendor wants you happy is to get a future chance to get your money. If they got your money and you are complaining about something you KNEW was the case at the time of purchase (or you didn't return the machine when you found out the limitation), guess how much value your complaint has to them? ZERO. The computer world is still a relatively free market, with several vendors and a fair degree of competition. Even companies the size of Intel have discovered -- the hard way -- they can't cram crap down the customer's throat without risking making a trivial, trivially small competitor a big player (Intel did it a few times... RAMBUS - VIA, Itanium - AMD). Look at the damage Microsoft has done to Linux -- from what I have seen, every time MS does one of their anti-Linux campaigns, awareness and acceptance of Linux in the workplace goes UP, and I've heard at least a few pure Microsoft shops keep a few Linux-related resources floating around in plain site to work the prices down when the MS reps come through... Sometimes I wish Microsoft would perceive OpenBSD as a threat. :) In the absence of biasing factors I think you're right, but AFAICT what some people are concerned about is Microsoft _requiring_ vendors to lock down the boot process in this way in order to put a 'Windows 8 approved' (or whatever exactly it is) sticker on a system. Given the benefits to the vendor of participating in that program, it's plausible that many of them would do this despite its pissing off some customers. Whether or not Microsoft would actually do something this blatant I don't know, but as far as I can tell they've never seen an anti-competetive techinque that they didn't _want_ to use. Dave A lot of us in the open source world do a lot with recycled computers -- computers that have lived out their first life cycle, and now being used for less demanding applications (i.e., non-windows). This requires a little work on our part -- we need to make sure that decision makers know that any machine locked into the Windows world (or even a particular version of Windows) are of near zero value to reusers. When they point out that they already hand the old machines over to recyclers for free, point out the recyclers expect to make some money off their action -- if they can't, your purchasers will need to PAY (or pay more) for system disposal. This may be a harder change than not personally buying a new machine from a restrictive vendor, but make it clear that you see their talk about green computers complete bullshit if they are not going to make it possible to recycle-into-production older computers (another example: the manufacturers who now prevent you from using disks they didn't provide in their machines, or prevent you from buying their proprietary disk carriers without their over-priced, under-performing disks. Value of machine after warranty expiration: Near zero). Nick. -- Dave Anderson d...@daveanderson.com

Re: HP notebooks that hang during boot
** Reply to message from Dave Anderson d...@daveanderson.com on Thu, 2 Jun 2011 20:01:26 -0400 (EDT) In my neverending quest for more notebook dmesgs I've come across several HP Pavilion systems which hang during boot (using the i386 snapshot dated 5/24), after a line starting with 'acpimcfg0 at acpi0'. The ones I've encountered so far were labelled dv6-3210us, dv6-3243cl, dv7-4263cl and dv7-4272us. I've waited for up to 2 minutes before giving up. I've tried compiling a kernel with option DDB_SAFE_CONSOLE, which I thought would allow me to gather more info by pressing ctl-alt-esc during the hang to break to DDB -- but that didn't work. How can I gather whatever information is needed to let someone debug this (remembering that these are store demo systems to which I have only limited access)? Or is this a known problem for which no more data is needed? I now have a dmesg and acpidump from a system (labelled hp g6-1a32nr) which pauses for about 45 seconds at that point, then completes booting; perhaps this will provide someone with a hint as to what's happening. I also have a dmesg (with acpi disabled) and acpidump from a system (labelled hp pavilion dv6-3240us) which hangs for at least two minutes with acpi enabled. Since these are multiple files each and this list rejects attachments, I can't easily include them here; I'll email the tarballs to anyone who wants to look into this.

Another weird notebook-booting problem.
I've encountered a notebook (labelled hp ProBook 4520s) which, when booted from the i386 snapshot dated 24 May 2011 immediately reboots -- it very briefly shows about one line of the usual booting messages, then goes back to the bios boot screen.

The offending device appears to be 'NEC PCIE-XHCI rev 0x04 at pci4 dev 0 function 0 not configured'. I also found another system (labelled Dell Inspiron 17r-6457dbk) which exhibits a similar problem but again was able to find a working USB port; this appears to use the same new device: 'NEC PCIE-XHCI rev 0x04 at pci2 dev 0 function 0 not configured'.

HP notebooks that hang during boot
In my neverending quest for more notebook dmesgs I've come across several HP Pavilion systems which hang during boot (using the i386 snapshot dated 5/24), after a line starting with 'acpimcfg0 at acpi0'. The ones I've encountered so far were labelled dv6-3210us, dv6-3243cl, dv7-4263cl and dv7-4272us. I've waited for up to 2 minutes before giving up. I've tried compiling a kernel with option DDB_SAFE_CONSOLE, which I thought would allow me to gather more info by pressing ctl-alt-esc during the hang to break to DDB -- but that didn't work. How can I gather whatever information is needed to let someone debug this (remembering that these are store demo systems to which I have only limited access)? Or is this a known problem for which no more data is needed? Dave -- Dave Anderson d...@daveanderson.com

I've tried such a laptop, booting from usb stick does indeed fail as

just fine.
Disabling acpi will allow the system to boot from the usb stick.
Thanks for the info. I'll try disabling ACPI the next time I encounter
one of these.
You need the information in the panic message and trace.
If you want to help get the problems with those machines tracked
down, you need to get that information, maybe take a photo and
type it in from there.
If the panic message itself has scrolled off show panic
should show it again.
The only way disabling ACPI is helpful, is if the machine saves the
dmesg buffer between boots, then you may be able to get the panic,
boot -c, disable acpi, and save the information.
ACPI should not be disabled on modern machines, they are not
meant to work that way.
Got a chance to try an ASUS system (k53e-xb1) and it did save the dmesg
over the reboot -- so here's the info. I don't have the AML since there
was no obvious way to list it from ddb and I was in a bit of a hurry and
didn't think to try e.g. acpidump after the reboot with acpi disabled.
If someone tells me the exact command to produce the needed AML info
I'll make sure to try it next time.

As an existing dmesg database that I can directly upload to, that looks like a good place for them. I've uploaded the 43 I've gotten so far, and will put more up soon (I've still got a couple of stores to hit). You can find them by filtering on submitter 'Dave Anderson'. I had some uploading problems, so there are also 9 garbaged copies I don't know of any way to delete; I've asked the site owners to get rid of them. Since I'm posting this info and sending it to the developers as well as using it myself, I'm getting info from every notebook I can get my hands on rather than restricting myself to ones that I might want to buy. FWIW I've encountered several ASUS notebooks which panic during boot (in aml_parse or parse_aml, I can't remember which is correct); since these are store demo machines I don't have any good way to capture the detailed information (I'm booting from a USB stick and saving the dmseg to the stick.)

My apologies if my reply had any such effect; it certainly wasn't intended to do that. I note you are inside North America. Packages inside North America can make it to their destination in 3 days, 4 days tops. It is April 18. What are you talking about? Your CD order will arrive around the release time. Probably before, as is usual, though noone ever promised that! As I said, I believe that OpenBSD's only obligation is to get the pre-order CD sets to us by the release date (and even that isn't absolute, given that shit happens). I was just interested in / curious about why the pre-order process seemed to be working a bit differently from the way it usually has. As well, I know that other distributors (including Liam in England) will soon have CDs ready so that there can be a 'coordinated release'. People on the other continents need to get a chance to be the first at bragging. Thanks for the explanation. Dave Let's backtrack. Bob is bringing up an important point (he mentioned it publically after I mentioned it privately to him earlier, so I know where this comes from). Year on year, when it comes to money that keeps the project going, nothing much has changed in this project. I think people should contrast our track record of 'good product' to our 'inability to sell out'. Unlike everyone else in the open source industry, we continue to operate on donations and CD sales (money). We have kept donations and money seperated. Donations fund the things they can easily fund, and money funds the things they can fund easily; we all know there are business/taxation rules to be followed. The donations primarily fund the hackathons (5-6 a year these days) and travel assistance for the less fortunate developers to those hackathons. Great things come from those donations, from those hackathons we are all running code that came out of them. None of us can contest that. But without CD and tshirt sales, other parts of the project are in trouble -- the things that are more difficult to fund out of donations. And there is a further relationship: If not enough CDs are sold in a release, there may be no further CDs made after that. If there are no CDs made or sold, I don't know what will happen. I doubt donations could help us ever again bootstrap a CD release process again. I don't know where various aspects of the project would go. Of course everyone knows that part of the CD sales become my salary (keeping me away from working for companies writing non-free software perhaps, though I doubt I am employable). But that is only fair. All of you eat, too. I spend more time in front a keyboard than most of you... If things went bad financially, I don't know how I would cope with such a big change. I doubt the user community has a plan for that, either. If you are receiving this mail you are using OpenBSD or the other things that our developer community have made, so please be considerate and help us continue. The donations are one thing, and thank you -- but please remember that the sales component has to be there too. I am only a part of the CD sales money. CD sales money keeps the electrons flowing through cvs.openbsd.org. Trust me, it is critical. Not that I have any particular standing, but FWIW, y'all please order a CD set if you haven't already done so. OpenBSD has served me well for quite a few years, and I'd really like to see it continue -- and continue to improve. Exactly -- let us continue doing this. -- Dave Anderson d...@daveanderson.com

I _have_ been using sendmail (on a light-duty, mostly-home mailserver) for 15 years. Dave -- Dave Anderson d...@daveanderson.com

Re: Multiple web servers hosting different sites behind single public IP (all listening on port 80)?

I've recently switched over to a single static IP and am struggling with a Problem: How to have multiple web servers hosting different sites behind single public IP (all listening on port 80)? I have a 2-legged OpenBSD 4.7-stable firewall (i386) behind a single static IP. My only DNS (currently) is external which establishes abc.com -- $my-static-ip Internet | -- | | | OBSD | | 4.7 | -- | | Private DMZ ___|_ | | | --- --- --- | 1 | | 2 | | 3 | --- --- --- I can port-map to the various servers just fine (ie: abc.com:8080, abc.com:, etc.) but this is NOT the desired configuration. The 3 different web servers should all be accessible via port 80: abc.com, coolstuff.abc.com, abc.com/coolstuff It seems like there should be an easy elegant way to handle this using OpenBSD. Do I need to setup a secondary/slave DNS server on my DMZ? Can I use relayd? Looks great! Perhaps I'm missing something, but why don't you set up 'virtual hosts' on your webserver (based on the 'Host' header); this appears to be exactly the kind of situation that feature was designed to handle. You'll need to add a DNS entry for coolstuff.abc.com pointing to the same IP address as abc.com does. [That doesn't work for abc.com/coolstuff, but it's not at all clear how that worked in your original setup -- since abc.com and abc.com/coolstuff would necessarily connect to the same IP address.] Dave I've read the following docs about relayd and it sounds like it'll do reverse web proxying which is what I need. But I couldn't quite see how to filter/redirect on the hostname or URL...(I'm sure it's there, but I don't get it!). http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=relaydsektion=8arch=apropos= 0manpath=OpenBSD+Current http://www.unixtechnics.org/openbsd-relayd.html https://calomel.org/relayd.html Can anyone shed any light on this for me?

I've updated the BIOS to the latest version I can find, and am running

(APM disabled); I've included both full dmesgs below.
With ACPI there's one additional couldn't map interrupt for a device
which is configured properly with APM:

One more thing I should have mentioned: this system has a very simple
BIOS with only a few tweakable settings; I've tried them all without
changing this behavior.
I'd really like to get this working properly, since I can't afford to

this, I'd be happy to run any tests, patches or whatever; the system
isn't in use yet, so even complete reinstalls are fine.
Thanks for any help,
I bit of searching turned up 'UKCchange pcibios' and setting the flags
to 0x30; this 'verbose' dmesg plus pcidump -v ( both included below)
produce a bunch of interesting-looking information which, unfortunately,
I do not (yet) know enough to make sense of.
I also found a truly gross hack used by someone in similar circumstances
(http://www.gratisoft.us/ftp/pub/todd/OpenBSD/srx77/cardbus.diff), which
I'll try to adapt if I don't find anything better.
This is primarily for the record, though it may help someone with
similar problems.
After spending some time crawling through the code and reading PCI
specs, I determined that the underlying problem is that the BIOS is
reporting an incorrect PCI bus attachment for the Cardbus devices --
resulting in the 'how to attach interrupts' lookup failing. Since in
my case all of the device numbers in the table from the BIOS are
unique, a simple patch to match on only the device number (if there's
only one entry with that device number, and if there's no match on both
bus and device) corrects the problem and allows the interrupts to be
properly connected.
There's still a problem (which I haven't yet dug in to) where it
appears that interrupts still don't work properly if the Cardbus device
is in place when the system boots, but since it works if I hotplug it
later this is something I can live with (at least for a while).
Here's the patch (against -current as of a week or two ago):

Is there a reason to prefer one over the other? Not at all. antispoof blocks ip packets that came in from the wrong interface, while URPF blocks packets from aliens (no entry in routing table for the source address). Just look at the output of pfctl -sr If I'm reading the documentation for URPF correctly, that's not true -- URPF blocks packets which arrive on an interface which is not pointed to by a route to the packet's source address, which is somewhat similar to what antispoof does.

Without testing it, I don't know how the potential loop can be avoided, or if it even needs to be avoided (note the match out example for isakmp in the pf.conf(5) man page). That example uses nat-to, which only works on output. Things were changed in -CURRENT a bit, see http://marc.info/?l=openbsd-cvsm=125486449001455w=2 for example. Neat! While it clearly doesn't work as of that commit, it appears that we'll eventually be able to do something like the above 'match'. After that, it's probably just a 'simple' matter of ensuring that ftp-proxy understands connections originating from the same system it's running on. Dave -- Dave Anderson d...@daveanderson.com

A clarification: I do know that ftp-proxy can be used as an explicit proxy as well as transparently via PF redirection, and that the FTP_PROXY environment variable can be set to specify an explict proxy for many programs/scripts. But since (as stated in my original message) I'd really like FTP to 'just work' and AFAIK some programs/scripts ignore FTP_PROXY and some others don't allow for an explicit proxy at all, I believe that ftp-proxy can't currently do what I want (though it may come closer than anything else currently available).

Not really been following this thread but is there any problem with using SFTP? It's implemented in many FTP programs and only requires port 22 open on the firewall. It would certainly be nice to get rid of FTP (and I do use alternatives when I can), but AFAIK there are still a lot of things that use it by default. Since I'd like to have a system that 'just works', I'm pretty sure I have to allow for FTP for the forseeable future. Thanks for the suggestion, Dave -- Dave Anderson d...@daveanderson.com

I'd like to have a system where everything 'just works' once I get it set up; since AFAIK there are still things out there which don't transparently use passive FTP, I'd like to have active FTP work. If it can't be done with any reasonable amount of effort I'll settle for less, but (to me) it's worth some effort investigating. 2. ftp-proxy(8) Unless I've missed something, this is useless when the FTP connection originates on the system where ftp-proxy is running -- the control connection packets must traverse some interface in the inbound direction for PF to be able to redirect them to ftp-proxy. No. Just configure your app to use the proxy bound to localhost:port. Many apps can pick this up automatically when you have FTP_PROXY= defined in your shell, but others might require further configuration. FTP_PROXY is to use an http proxy to talk to ftp servers. ftp-proxy(8) doesn't support this, it can only pick the address by looking up the address from the PF state. anything else is going to run into the same problem as running a client directly unless it has specific support for PF. with what's available now, ftpsesame has the best chance of working.
