 I'd say the chance of ever having an unbroken OpenLDAP release on any
 OS is pretty damn low.

 that said, openldap works as well on openbsd as it does on other oses.
 the only thing that does not work in 4.4 is the bdb backend. but then,
 the bdb backend has almost ever been terrible, so you are better off
 using another one anyway. i recommend ldbm. you will have to use
 slapcat and slapadd to convert your database.

Changing password in kerberized environment is not working.

2008-08-29 Thread John Nietzsche
Hi folks,

i have configured my openbsd kerberos server. It is serving two other
computer in my home network. One of this client is running openbsd the
other is Windows XP.

I am able to login into any of these 2 client and authentication goes
through kerberos 100% successful. I can log in to the server 100% ok.
After logged in any given machine, i can reach another through
obtaining a service ticket, what gives me a SSO enviroment.

The problem is that i cannot change password from any of those
machine, i got the following:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] passwd -K
[EMAIL PROTECTED]'s Password:
New password:
Verifying password - New password:
Reply from server: Authentication failed
[EMAIL PROTECTED]


[EMAIL PROTECTED] passwd -K
[EMAIL PROTECTED]'s Password:
New password:
Verifying password - New password:
Reply from server: Authentication failed
[EMAIL PROTECTED]


And on windows i get a screen witht he following:

1326: Logon failure: unknow user or bad password.

What i cannot understand is why i can login on any of the machine, but
cannot change password.

What am i doing wrong?


OpenBSD machine is 4.3 stable and the other, Windows XP.
Kerberos(heimdal) is the standard that comes with OpenBSD 4.3

 I wouldn't claim to *know*, but the last time I had a similar problem,
 I did a web search on OpenBSD path/Filename.pm and it gave me enough
 information to figure out which packages I needed to install.

 In this specific case, searching for OpenBSD Bio/SearchIO.pm gave me
 exactly one reference, but enough to conclude that the port
 /usr/ports/biology/bioperl or the matching package is a likely
 solution (after a locate)

 Hope this helps,

openbsd hosting services

2008-03-17 Thread John Nietzsche
Hello,

i am in need to host my web application on third party web hosting
services, but i have had no luck searching one.
My trivial need is common: php, MySQL, web server, ASP with support to MySQL.

But i do need a shell server that supports building and compiling
programs in C with support for MySQL.
I need a shell access to an openbsd that support cron services and
allows me to code and compile and build ANSI C code that will handle
database work by connect to an MySQL Server.

Does anybody suggest anything ?

Thanks in advance.

OT: fully interconnect switches: interesting problem

2008-02-24 Thread John Nietzsche
Dear gentleman/madam,

i was given 4 2724 dell powerconnect switches and only 6 patch cords.
Besides that, i was given a challenge to connect them each other
having a full interconnection schema (thanks my classes on graph
theory, i could do it using only 6 patch cords). So, given any two
switches there is a direct path between them. Instead of cascading,
this approach avoid a single point of failure and allows, for
instance, a uplink of 3 Gb/s between any given two switches and
reduces patch cords usage (my graph edges in this scenario).

The problem raises when i turn them on: After some time (from seconds
to 1 or even 2 minutes) the switches go crazy. I cannot even ping the
ip assigned to the switch i am connected directly  not to mention a
desktop located on another switch.

Is there any configuration that could be done to allow such
interconnection shema ?

thanks in advance.

PS: please, forgive me my OT message, but i am really desperated.
Could some one point me a better list to place my message?



Re: What is our ultimate goal??

2008-02-18 Thread John Nietzsche
Hey folks,

i have been writing software about 6 year since i finnished my
university course. OpenBSD has always been impressive to my eyes.
Since correctness/security is conditio sine qua non, i disagree as a
group of developer has it as goal. Goal should be performance,
portability usability. But correctness/security should be a
requirement.

I am very confident about software i wrote. But in order to obtain
paramount performance i am taking a totally different approach. Since
process and even thread are not a good ideia. i am working now to
learn a little bit more about SDL (specification and description
language). Not only my systems became faster, a lot faster but also,
very, very, very modular.

I am not in kernel design/implementation, so i would like to hear from
you all about an approach driven by this method.

I was thinking about the advantages of having very modular part of a
OS, being executed on each processor (of a SMP system), and like. It
sounds very interesting to me.

thanks.

 Hi,

 NOTE: No intention to behave like a troll.

 I've been following the multi-threaded ssh/scp thread and read Ted's
 comment that he's stopped working on the kernel threads code because
 he doesn't have the time for it nor does he need it any more.
 Also that multi-threaded ssh/scp would weaken security features within the OS.

 It just led me to ponder, what is OpenBSD's ultimate goal?
 Is it just to become the worlds most secure OS with as few remote
 holes in the default install?
 Shouldn't it also be our goal to be the best UNIX-like operating
 system which is in tune with the current needs of users?

 It would have been great to have a threaded kernel, there are
 developer's I'm gathering around who wanted to change the TCP/IP stack
 to make it higher performance, more like Project FireEngine under
 Solaris 10.

 OpenBSD is an OS with amazing security and stability, but it has too
 few modern features.

 It would be great if developers also start working on improving the
 features currently offered by OpenBSD.
 Else, we would end up becoming the world's most secure OS which is
 used by just a handful of us faithful users.

 You might ask what right do I have for this rant, what am I doing for OpenBSD?
 Well I can't donate code directly as I'm a Java programmer and my C is
 quite rusty (haven't coded in it in over 7 years).
 But, yes, I do donate my time and money, indirectly, by recruiting
 good C developers to the cause as well as buying stuff for core
 developers off their wish lists.

 Hope newer features get added, not that I'm unhappy with the OS (it
 does almost everything I need an OS to do for me), but it would be
 great if we had *more* smart developers and a wider base of good users
 who get attracted to the OS for its robustness as well as feature-set.

multiple amd files served by nis

Does anybody have any idea on how to handle such?

vlan configuration: off-topic

2008-01-18 Thread John Nietzsche
Dear gentleman,

i am starting with vlan topic right now. I am in need to get two dell
powerconnect 2724 switches to implement 3 vlan. I know how to
configure the ports for desktops, but i am having a hard time
configuring the port(s) that should interconnect the switches itself.
Since the traffic in the ports (one in each switch) can handle traffic
for every 3 vlan (once there are desktops of the 3 vlan on each
switch), how should i configure those uplink ports?

Pretty hard times with openbsd yp server

2007-09-06 Thread John Nietzsche
Dear gentleman,

i am trying to get nis server working with my 4.1 openbsd server, but
until up to now. I am having problems related to two things:

First, suppose i update a given user entry in the input file for the
server build procedure. After issuing a make inside
/var/yp/`domainname` everything is built ok, but ypserv continues to
serve old data. Important to realize that makedbm -u show the new data
as expected.

Second, i have a netgroup file under my nis server, but after adding
some entry for netgroup wihtin passwd (using vipw), only the first
user of the member list for a given netgroup name is used. When i try
to finger a user listed into the second list member and so on, it is
show as username not found, or something like that.

But, when i use ypatch sysop netgroup every list member is returned.

Any ideia?

Thanks in advance.

Centralized ports collection server

Dear gentleman,

i would like to set a single box in my network to keep syncronized to
the ports collection infra structure. My ideia is to export the

the utilities/lib/etc once and be able to install them every machine
with the same hardware/OS version.

Is that possible?

YP server: i am desperated.

2007-09-01 Thread John Nietzsche
Dear gentleman,

i have setted my NIS server using openbsd 4.1. In order to get things
easier to manage, i decide the have a directory a part for my input
file for nis database building process.

So, i change the /var/yp/`domainname`/Makefile variables the point to
the amd directory and etc directory from /etc/amd and /etc to
/asd/etc/amd and /asd/etc.

I have written and common input file for nis on those new directories,
like hosts, netgroup, etc  More specially, the master.passwd and
group files. I have populated the last two too.

When i issue make inside /var/yp/`domainname`. The databases are
built ok, no problem.
But things get strange, when i try to login into a client nis on my
network. Although i have setted a password for a nis user in
/asd/etc/master.passwd. That password is not allowed neither on the
client not the server box. But if after typing the login, i hit return
and return i am able to login without a password; what is the
equivalent of a password of .

Does anybody have any ideia where i am mistaken?

 Chris is spot on with the handle the packet per second load that you
 expect to have comment.  10G driver support is relatively nascent on
 OpenBSD.  The pricing however is a little high, especially if you look
 at other O/S besides OpenBSD.  The Myricom's are very price competitive,
 even with the optics.  I know OpenBSD developers have Myri cards, and
 support is on the horizon.  reyk and loki have been doing the 10G work,

  Hi, the apcupsd port is very old, so it should not be used. You can try
the

people,

 Not for apc-upsd. Your can try nut, available as a package. It will work
with usb since the port is up-to-date. However, as I said, apc-upsd works
perfectly for me with usb, using the version from their official website
that I compiled from source. There is also upsd that you can try, also not
available as a package, you must compile from source.

Talk about your generic questions.  Do you want a direct-attached SCSI backup 
drive?  A direct-attached SCSI library w/robot?  A usb drive?  A NetApp SAN 
with hot snapshots?  Dump-over-ssh to a network server?  What's your budget?  
What is your restore plan?


I am considering a dell solution for rack infra-structure. A standard

Re: Troubleshooting NFS/SFU

2007-05-15 Thread John Nietzsche

Dear folks,

i am trying to get my windows boxes access nfs directly by means of SFU, too!
I would like to have a global mount, say drive g: to mount from my
home directories.

Is it possible? How have you been doing in order to get a global drive mapping?

Thanks in advance.

I've tried to configure NFS and am nearly all the way there, but it
seems like I've hit a pretty big stumbling block.  I've got OpenBSD

have a Windows XP machine (10.0.0.2) and installed the SFU 3.5 NFS
client.

[/etc/exports]
/home/david -mapall=david:guest -network=10.0.0.0 -mask=255.255.255.0

I can successfully mount this share locally and perform both reads and writes.

Without any of SFU's User Name Mapping configured, I can mount the
share with uid/gid of -2/-2 as advertised.  Appropriately, I cannot
access any files or directories that are not world-readable.  However,
inside a chmod-777 directory, I cannot create files or directories
(which might be as expected).

After configuring User Name Mapping to map my Windows account to the
UNIX account, I can mount the share with the expected uid/gid.
Although I can read user-only files and directories, I still cannot
create any files or directories.  Windows keeps reporting that the
drive has write-protection enabled.

I know this isn't a SFU help forum, but any ideas to try or tips on
troubleshooting the NFS side is more than welcome.  Thanks in advance.

P.S. On an unrelated sidenote, does mountd always bind to the same
ports by default?  If not, is there a way to fix them at certain
values, so that PF rules can be written to match?  Linux rpc.mountd(8)
supposedly has a -p option that can be used for this purpose.




openbsd and dell PE 860 1u rack server

2007-05-15 Thread John Nietzsche

Dear gentleman,

i am considering a Dell PE 860 1u rack server for usage as my network
storage server (nfs).
I wonder about reports from the openbsd comunity using it with openbsd
4.0/4.1 on stability and performance. What you guys/girls have to
report? It is worth its price?

Another question: I am familiar with SAS raid controller. Formerly,
U320 SCSI one were required to have dual/quad channels
(internal/external) if more discs were required to be supported. Is
the channels (internal/external) ideia sound within SAS RAID world ?

ftp and pf (nat)

2007-05-14 Thread John Nietzsche

Dear gentleman/madam,

i have installed my openbsd firewall and i am trying to get ftp client
behind working.
It is working nicely. But, when i try to lookup and the nat rules
inserted by ftp-proxy, i get nothing :

[EMAIL PROTECTED] pfctl -sn -a '*'
nat-anchor ftp-proxy/* all
nat-anchor neif on pppoe0 all
nat-anchor niif_0 on sis0 all
rdr-anchor ftp-proxy/* all
rdr-anchor reif on pppoe0 all
rdr-anchor riif_0 on sis0 all
[EMAIL PROTECTED] pfctl -sn -a 'ftp-proxy/*'


I am very confused on why it is not showed anything.

Thanks in advance.



Re: ftp and pf (nat)

2007-05-14 Thread John Nietzsche

According to pf FAQ:

With passive mode FTP (the default mode with OpenBSD's ftp(1)
client), the client requests that the server pick a random port to
listen on for the data connection. The server informs the client of
the port it has chosen, and the client connects to this port to
transfer the data. Unfortunately, this is not always possible or
desirable because of the possibility of a firewall in front of the FTP
server blocking the incoming data connection. OpenBSD's ftp(1) uses
passive mode by default; to force active mode FTP, use the -A flag to
ftp, or set passive mode to off by issuing the command passive off
at the ftp prompt.

ok! I am really having a bad time with this issue! Not to get it
working but to understand it. If ftp-proxy does not insert rules how
does the outgoing traffic is permitted across the firewall for a
dynamic port choosen by the server?

Thanks once more.

I'm fairly certain ftp-proxy only inserts rules for active FTP sessions,

Re: ftp and pf (nat)

2007-05-14 Thread John Nietzsche

Yes, i was receiving file.

But a look as ftp-proxy (8) :

In case of active mode (PORT or EPRT):

  rdr from $server to $proxy port $port - $client
  pass quick inet proto tcp \
  from $server to $client port $port

In case of passive mode (PASV or EPSV):

  nat from $client to $server port $port - $proxy
  pass in quick inet proto tcp \
  from $client to $server port $port
  pass out quick inet proto tcp \
  from $proxy to $server port $port


So i understand ftp-proxy injects rules for both connection type.

What am i missing ?

Oops, poor word choice. 'Active FTP sessions' was not intended to mean
'sessions using active FTP' (as opposed to passive FTP), but 'FTP
sessions that are active' (i.e., connected).

ftp-proxy does insert rules in anchrors, but only for sessions that are
connected at that time. In other words, were you actually sending FTP
data across your firewall when you looked in the table?

OT: unix/openbsd printer support

rdate issue

Dear gentleman/madam,

i have a home network composed of 1 gateway and two boxes. All of them
running openbsd 4.1 of course.

I decided to get the time syncronization for all those boxes. In the
gateway machine, i managed to get the following in crontab:

*/5 *   *   *   *   /usr/sbin/rdate -4ncva
ptbtime1.ptb.de | /usr/bin/logger -t NTP


In the other two boxes (lion and etosha) i have:

*/5 *   *   *   *   /usr/sbin/rdate -4cva gw |
/usr/bin/logger -t NTP


Everything is working ok except because of those two boxes always have
a time about 20/22 seconds after my gateway time, like in the output
for date command:

Unfamiliar (to me only) ports behavior

2007-05-10 Thread John Nietzsche

Dear gentleman/madam,

i have just installed openbsd 4.1. I am very happy with it, but
something i was not expecting is happening:

As an ordinary user (belonging to the group wheel) i switched to the
ports collection directory (/usr/ports/x11/openmotif) and issued i
make fetch.

I got surprised when the tarball started to be dowloaded in
/usr/ports/distfiles although its sticky bit is not on.

May someone here explain me how it is possible?

Thanks in advance.
