PF and the old SIP issue
First, I've googled, searched the logs, found some small SIP stuff etc. but am interested in peoples opinions on successfull larger scale SIP use via PF. Intro. OpenBSD PF firewall consisting of ext, DMZ, internal/private interfaces. VOIP server sitting in the DMZ. Multiple (pick any number, 5, 10, 100) SIP phones in the private LAN. Multiple mobile (pick any number, 5, 10, 100) SIP phones anywhere in the USA. (NOTE: Mobile means they are carried and plugged in anywhere, but are programmed with the static IP gateway address. How would you create a working pf.conf file so everything 'just works'. I have found this to be very problematic. Any ideas ? Regards...Martin

Here we go What do you mean exactly by just works? Are the external phones supposed to talk with the internal phones? Not directly, they go through the server Do the internal phones have public or private addresses? Private interface so private address Are you using RTP/RTCP for audio? Are the audio streams phone-to-phone or are you using media anchoring on your VoIP server? The server is currently in the private lan, but if we wan't to take outside calls, we need to move it into the DMZ. What VoIP server are you using? Asterisk, test server Does it use TCP and/or UDP for SIP signalling? What is the port range used on the SIP phones for RTP/RTCP? Standard ports. The SIP phones register with the asterisk box. There's a lot more info required before one can draw up some appropriate pf configuration file. Also, AFAIK there is currently now ftp-proxy-like application available for SIP for pf, so you won't be able to use pf as an ALG or dynamic firewall for your SIP traffic. You'll have to determine all your possible call flows, analyze the potential ports used (SIP and RTP/RTCP) for each of these call flows, and then prepare a pf.conf that caters to all of these. Sounds like a lot of work. I need to go and hit the asterisk list. I'll let you know if I find anything out.

Intel and Licensing
Dear Mr. Awad. It has come to my attention, yet again, that intel, despite its claims of being Open Source friendly, is again failing to produce pertient API information for its products and restrictive licencing, terms and conditions. This goes against the whole priciple of open source in all its forms and unfortunately, I no longer purchase your products or recommend them to anyone else and will continue to use other suppliers until you change this policy. As you are probably aware, there are several open source products e.g. Linux, OpenBSD, FreeBSD, NetBSD and others. Further, there are different licenses ie. BSD, Apache, GPL etc. Despite the different licencing policies, all the open source projects need the same thing. The key component is that source should be open. If you can't provide source then API's have to be open (no licencing, agreements, restrictions etc.) so they can write efficient and reliable drivers for your products, which I should note, is a free service to your company. In the case of OpenBSD, one of the most efficient and secure OS's, below is an outake from their policy page, which you should take the time to read in full. http://www.openbsd.org/policy.html Because the OpenBSD copyright imposes no conditions beyond those imposed by the Berkeley copyright, OpenBSD can hope to share the same wide distribution and applicability as the Berkeley distributions. It follows however, that OpenBSD cannot include material which includes copyrights which are more restrictive than the Berkeley copyright, or must relegate this material to a secondary status, i.e. OpenBSD as a whole is freely redistributable, but some optional components may not be. A number of applications have been culled from OpenBSD because of licensing issues. A lot of people on different projects do a lot of work getting intel products to work, for very little thanks and usually no money. Do NOT make it harder for them than it already is and do NOT squander the good will of the open source community as they are IT professionals with a large networking base and you will rapidly find your products being rejected at companies and data centers, which is something neither you, your management or your shareholders will appreciate in the long run. I hope you, as a company, will take the time to learn what the open source community needs and expects, and will create a consistent and open framework that meets ALL their needs. When this happens, I will gladly reconsider the purchase and recommendation of intel products. -- Regards...Martin

Hello Theo (and all the list users). You know, this has been an ongoing issue for years. Keeps on coming up on the list every 3 or 4 months and the result is the same. As far as I am concerned, yes we can email and complain, but they are so arrogant that nothing will change. Why don'y we just :- 1) Not buy any more intel products 2) List products from manufacturers that do help us 3) Tell everyone ref 1) and 2) 4) Instead of continuing emailing intel, email all the other opensource projects sharing the experience and suggest to them that they follow the same as above ie. 1), 2) and 3). 5) yes, people can still email intel, but just like adaptek, personally, I think it's a waste of time. they are too big and too 'full of themselves' to care. There are plenty of competing products around. Why should we beat ourselves up on this. I'm a consumer (whether it is business or personal is irrelevent). I pay for products. I can take my business, and my money, elsewhere. I want to know from the OpenBSD community, which products are best supported, which are the best (less cpu load, more bandwidth ie. more efficient etc.). I am really not interested in intel, adaptek and their games anymore. I am interested in SATA syatems for low-level use and SAS (Serial attached SCSI) for high level use using OpenBSD and other open systems so I want to know about good and bad motherboards, RAID cards, hard drives etc. I'm surprised the drivers haven't been withdrawn from the CVS yet.

Treid it with a Hitachi micro-drive (Compact Flash fitting). It works but I see pciide errors listed below. Is this fixable ? I have seen the FAQ entry on pciide, but obviously, it isn't a cable issue as there isn't one.

I found out on undeadly.org. Is their such an OpenBSD mailing list that would send an email out when posts are added onto the errata? If so, it might be nice to place a link somewhere on the errata page showing where someone can sign up (or perhaps the FAQ?). Or am I just that blind and didn't/can't see it? Thanks! Kenny Mann I'm on the list as well and haven't received anything. Todd C. Miller 2005-07-22 20:11 was the last email. Almost 6-months (5 1/2) without a security patch. Assuming they are continuing to test and look for bugs with the same fervor as they always have, this is quite an achievement. Previous releases from 2.7 to 3.6 averaged 19.5 security patches. I would like to thank all the people who contribute to OpenBSD for their continual great work and dedication to the project. It is very much appreciated. Regards and best wishes...Martin
Re: Time on amd64

After about 10 minutes it's several minutes ahead of the real time. For now I've set a cron job to rdate time.nist.gov every 5 minutes. This is on OpenBSD 3.8 with the generic kernel and no other special modifications. Is there anything I can possibly do to fix this little glitch (perhaps something via sysctl?) or is it a problem in the code somewhere? Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks. - Cyrus I missed your original post. What is the make/model of the computer. There is a known issue on some machines with the clock running fast with AMD/ATI on Linux. It *might* be the same with OpenBSD. Gateway MX7515m AMD/ATI bug - clock runs at double speed http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3927 I used - noapictimer at boot on my Linux notebook to fix the issue. Not sure that's going to help. But if it is a hardware issue, that may be enough of a start for a developer to help. Provide your hardware info. Regards...Martin

RAID cards
Hello. Ref the new bioctl RAID management inteface. Has the Dell perc3/dc and the megaraid elite 1600 been tested and proved to work as I need to get a machine with supported RAID. Regards...Martin
