Re: Light HTTP servers.
Le Fri, Aug 22, 2008 at 11:29:42AM +0200, Toni Mueller ecrivait : My experience from running some low-traffic sites with both nginx and lighttpd is that nginx is by far easier to handle, more robust, and also more flexible in its configuration, and I hope to get rid of lighttpd asap (eg. my bugs would linger for months, or longer). The only point where lighttpd imho shines, sort of, is easier launching of internal FastCGI servers. With low-traffic sites, there's not much difference between lighty and nginx, both are quite stable and they can serve a lot of static content without any CPU hit, even on a Soekris box. When it comes to the configuration, you can achieve the same results with both, but indeed nginx configuration files are usually cleaner. The lighty development status is a bit messy (see the lighty blog), while nginx development is clear and very active. Sure, lighty can start fastcgi servers, but on sites with medium traffic, php-fpm blows lighty's fastcgi servers. Switching from lighty (1.5) to nginx + php-fpm with GOTO for the Zend VM reduced the average time to serve pages of a busy vbulletin board down to a factor of 4. I never went back to lighty since. By the way, is anyone working on adding php-fpm to the php port? The patch requires some tweaks in order to properly merge and compile, but it's really worth it especially with nginx. Do you have any problems running nginx as a reverse proxy for Zope? We do it, and it gives us less trouble than the built-in Apache, I must say (even ignoring the system load).

Re: Logitech diNovo Edge Keyboard with OpenBSD 4.3
Le Sat, Aug 02, 2008 at 02:17:08AM -0700, Chris ecrivait : I want to buy this keyboard and like to know if anyone uses it with OpenBSD 4.3 [http://tinyurl.com/5szfz6] [ebay.com]. From little what I understand, it uses USB technology and the connection from the USB to the keyboard is wireless and uses bluetooth. I wonder if this would actually work with OpenBSD. Hello Chris, It comes with a Blutooth USB dongle. Once plugged, the dongle just looks like a regular USB keyboard. I use that keyboard (and also previous DiNovo versions) on OpenBSD without any trouble. Even the volume thing works with KDE. However, I highly recommend you buy a regular mouse. The built-in trackpad is ok if you don't need precision, but the lack of wheel is really frustrating. There's a pseudo-wheel emulation when you touch the sides of the pad, but it's very unreliable. This is not a cheap keyboard but you won't regret it. Best regards, -Frank. -- Frank Denis - j [at] pureftpd.org - http://00f.net - http://www.cotery.com
bad tcp cksum and odd delay to close a connection on OpenBSD?
Hello, Well, I didn't have enough sleep lately, so probably this is an obvious and expected result. But connecting to a closed TCP port (that replies with RST) from OpenBSD doesn't immediately return. Extremely trivial demo (assuming nothing listens on 4242): $ nc 127.0.0.1 4242 It waits a while before throwing Connection refused. Same thing for a remote host: $ nc openbsd.org 4242 The same command with any another OS immediately returns ECONNREFUSED. PF isn't enabled. The behavior is the same with -current, OpenBSD 4.1 and OpenBSD 3.9, so this is not new. Is it intentional? What is the point? Another thing, with -current : $ sudo tcpdump -nvi vge0 dst host 199.185.137.3 $ nc 199.185.137.3 4242 tcpdump: listening on vge0, link-type EN10MB 01:24:53.473955 88.191.38.240.48850 199.185.137.3.4242: SWE [bad tcp cksum d965!] 1361218769:1361218769(0) win 16384 mss 1460,nop,nop,sackOK,nop,wscale 0,nop,nop,timestamp 138557634 0 (DF) (ttl 64, id 18485, len 64, bad cksum 14!) 01:24:59.462216 88.191.38.240.48850 199.185.137.3.4242: S [bad tcp cksum 8d66!] 1361218769:1361218769(0) win 16384 mss 1460,nop,nop,sackOK,nop,wscale 0,nop,nop,timestamp 138557646 0 (DF) (ttl 64, id 52715, len 64, bad cksum 14!)

System time 100% on Vmware Fusion
Hello, On Vmware Fusion (tested with Fusion 1.1 on a Core2duo imac), OpenBSD (-current) is very slow on anything that is not just a pure computation task. While compiling something, or while running MySQL, PgSQL, Apache or Sendmail, top always shows that the CPU spends 99% or 100% of its time in the system state. This is of course with the vic(4) and mpi(4) drivers. But this is always the case anyway, even without any disk or network I/O. Does anyone know what might be wrong? Best regards, -Frank.

Networking issue: two routers with the same IP
Hello, I currently have a remote server with a trivial network setup: [Server 10.0.0.1]-[NAT router 10.0.0.30 - external IP 1]-ADSL A second ADSL line and router have just been added. Unfortunately I have no control over the routers. Both routers come with the same IP address, it's why I have to setup something like this: 10.0.0.1|-[NAT router 10.0.0.30 - external IP 1]-ADSL 1 [Server | 10.0.0.2|-[NAT router 10.0.0.30 - external IP 2]-ADSL 2 Eacher router has a dedicated network interface on the server. I don't need bandwidth aggregation nor load balancing, but the server should be able to receive packets from external IP 1 and external IP 2. Is such a setup possible with OpenBSD? How would you do it? Thanks in advance for your help, -Frank.

Hitachi also produces drives that are designed to run 24/7 (Eudurastar, now obsoleted by E7K60 and E7K100 drives). My Mac Mini is running with a 7K100 (80 Gb, 7200 RPM, 8 Mb cache) drive and it is as fast as any 3,5 drive. It seems to heat up more than the Momentus since the fan often wakes up, but it works reliably.

I find page loads to be much faster, and nav is 10x faster with gestures and keyboard shortcuts. Except that there is nothing like AdBlock, DOM Inspector, CSS editor and Developer Toolbar for Opera. swfdec is exciting, unfortunately it just never works with real-life Flash files.

Used routinely (e.g. in an alias in login shells), I think it gives better protection than 'rm -i' since the prompt is rare enough you don't train yourself to confirm automatically. You can apply the following old patch to do it in OpenBSD. http://42-networks.com/obsd_patches/rm_I.patch

We make good experiences with Geode based systems (like the Soekris 4801) as they are low power devices for router/firewall applications. I also have a Net4801 that performs perfectly as a firewall and home server. But I was more looking for a workstation, preferably based supporting socket AMD64. But in this area, every vendor seems to use nothing but Nforce or Radeon chipsets.
Mini-PC recommendation?
What experiences do people have with OpenBSD and a mini-PC like Biostar's or Soltek's? Most interesting ones seems to based upon Nvidia chipsets, but unfortunately they don't seem to be supported by OpenBSD.

How to set up a read-only CVS server?
Hello, I'd like to offer a public OpenBSD CVS mirror, but I have no experience with setting up CVS servers, especially public ones. My question may sound obvious: how to set up a read-only CVS server, using the reference CVS or OpenCVS? I found various tutorials and scripts, but they all describe the insecure pserver way. I tried to have different uids for the files and for the anoncvs account, but the CVS server chokes when it comes to creating lock files. The only working way I found was a systrace policy (just in case it would be useful to anyone, you can find it here: ftp://ftp.00f.net/misc/systrace/usr_bin_cvs). But there must be a most obvious way to do it. How are you doing it, guys? TIA, -Frank.

On Sun, May 29, 2005 at 11:00:34PM +0200, Rogier Krieger wrote: Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, but as far as I know, ext3fs is not supported. ext3 is mostly ext2 with an extra inode to handle the journal. You can usually mount the partition as ext3 or ext2 without any special tweak. However on some distributions (at least Fedora it seems), directory hashing (htree) is enabled by default when partitions are formatted as ext3. And *BSD don't support htree yet. So maybe this is your showstopper. While running Linux, try tune2fs -O ^dir_index /dev/your volume in order to remove htree on the partition. -- Frank - my stupid blog: http://00f.net

Is there a similar burn-testing app that I can run on OpenBSD to test the stability of the machines over a 12 day period? Try blogbench: http://blogbench.pureftpd.org/ It stresses a lot your hardware and your OS, and if often triggers kernel panics if something is wrong.

It really depends on your exact needs (how many NICs, how many disks, etc). Almost every Dell seems to work fine with OpenBSD, but definitely avoid CERC controllers, especially the SATA ones. Go with PERC 4 that are way more reliable. The company I'm working for is almost exclusively buying Dell 1850 nowadays. They work flawlessly with Linux, DragonFlyBSD and OpenBSD even in 64-bit mode. And unless you absolutely need Dell, also have a look at Transtec hardware, which is almost half the price of Dell's for the same features and the same support. http://www.transtec.de/D/E/index.html We use their Opteron systems (1001L for web servers and processing and 2500L for databases and file servers) with no issue so far. For a SAN, their 2500L are really nice, as you can put up to 10 disks there, without the need for any external enclosure. Best regards, -- Frank - my stupid blog: http://00f.net
