mail server - Oracale/Sun X4-2
Greetings, I need to replace an aging Sun Fire V215 (SPARC-64bit) mail server. I am thinking of using an Oracle/Sun X4-2(1 x Xeon E5-2650 v2 8-core 2.6 GHz CPU internal Sun Storage 6 GB SAS PCI HBA) and two internal 300 GB1 rpm 2.5-inch SAS-2 HDD), as unfortunately small SPARC servers are not manufactured anymore. Any good/bad experiences with the X4-2 servers? Ioan

PXE boot RHEL 6.3 or OL 6.3 from OpenBSD 5.4
Greetings, It is possible to PXE boot other OSs (like RHEL 6.3 and/or OL 6.3) with pxeboot. If so, can somebody point me to a valid PXE configuration. Ioan

I talked with the nvidia guy and he assured me that there is no way that they'll fix this in the open source driver. Would like do the same thing, unfortunately NO budget (as usual)! Looked up the Nvidia site, they provide binary Solaris x64/x86 drivers (latest version 169.12/26-02-2008): `To download and install the driver, follow the steps below: STEP 1: Review the NVIDIA Software License.

Nvidia Quadro NVS 140M
Hi, We've got a few Lenovo T61 with Nvidia Quadro NVS 140M video cards. As far as I know, these cards are based on the GeForce 8400M G or GS chip set (not an expert), and provides some entry level 3D performance, more than enough to run X. Will this cards supported in the upcoming 4.3? mufurcz
SOEKRIS net5501 com port settings
Hi, Trying to `talk` to a SOEKRIS net5501 using a COM2 port out from an old Windblown box (have nothing else here to use at the moment) but I am getting garbage output, regardless of the speed - tried 9600/19200/38400/57600 8/n/1 Xon/Xoff/none. Terminal type is set to ANSI/VT100, the null modem cable is supplied by SOEKRIS). I know that the COM port is OK as I was using this system to connect to various Sun hardware (SF240, SF215 and E450). I have in my bag a Belkin FSU409 USB-to-serial adapter, no joy. Any suggestions? Thanks. Mufurcz

mysql socket vanishes after each system halt/(re)boot
Hi, After every system boot I am loosing the mysql server directory from /var/run, ergo the socket file from /var/run/mysql. After every boot I have to kill manually the mysql processes and restart the server process manually. It looks like (from the error log below) that mysqld_safe (when starts from rc.conf.local) won't/can't start the server because one is already running. Is this a mysql bug or I am doing something silly? The suggested (http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/operating-system-error-codes.html) is useless.

Postix and CurrierIMAP - need advise
Greetings, I need to configure a very simple mail-server (behind firewall), for a small company: a) with less than thirty people (permanent and casual); b) with no need to access e-mail from outside/home; c) mail client - some people prefer Outlook, some Thunderbird; d) no need for virtual mailbox domain(s) (ergo sql database, ldap, etc); e) the company has no internal DNS server (ergo MX records); f) has a permanent ADSL connection to an ISP; d) the domain name management had been delegated to the ISP. I am thinking of using the combination of Postfix (as MTA), Courier maildrop (to create mail-directories), and Courier-IMAP (for local mail-delivery). I am not a seasoned mail administrator, my only experience of handling mail comes from managing a Novell's GroupWise (Linux) server running on SLES 10. I am on the right path? Any suggestions?

Re: Ethernet jumbo frames?
johan beisser wrote: Fewer frames get corrupted, means less processing overhead per frame. Not true at all - if only the payload is changed. Outside of that, the remaining advantage is fewer frames going over the line. But the same amount of data(!) needs to be transmitted, and only if no collision(s) and retransmission(s) occurs! Anybody on the same LAN segment - who wants to transmit, will have to wait (be on hold) until the payload gets through. It's not recommended on the same LAN as systems not using jumbo frames. I know only a few HP routers which can handle efficiently jumbo frames (internally) - IF enabled. Ask yourself, what would happen with this jumbo frames outside a LAN segment? How would the rest of routers/switches/repeaters - like hubs/etc. would handle jumbo frames? mufurcz

BIND and the measure of system entropy (randomness?)
Greetings, A disk in one of the old firewalls (not exactly critical) failed (running OpenBSD 2.9!), and I urgently need a DNS server to work. Replaced the disk and installed 4.2. Starting `named -g` (listing below), produces a few surprising messages, like: a) line 3: BIND trying to load the configuration from /etc an not from /var/named/etc (my understanding was that the default -c option looks for the named.config in /var/named/etc an not in /etc); b) lines 34 and 35: `could not open entropy source /dev/arandom: file not found` and `using pre-chroot entropy source /dev/arandom` complaining about a missing /var/named/dev/arandom device. What BIND has to do with the laws of thermo-dynamics? Can I safely ignore the above messages. BTW, I am NOT a BIND expert!

DNS server setup for multiple domains
Greetings, Need advise how to setup one DNS server for multiple domain names, like: abcd._com_.xy, abcd._net_.xy, abcd._org_.xy, and abcd._biz_.xy The name server FQDN is server1.abcd._com_.xy (first domain) but, how to name the server in the SOA record for the rest of the domains? Regards, Mufurcz
Re: alternatives to sendmail
Douglas Allan Tutty wrote: Hello, I'm totally new to OBSD and have it installed on my 486 which acts basically like a slim client allowing me to ssh in to my main box. OBSD comes with sendmail which I have never knowingly used before and while it works as-is for local mail delivery, I thought I'd set it up to send non-local mail to my main box as a smarthost. However, sendmail is a very steep and tall learning curve. I'm coming from Debian (which no longer installes with 32 MB ram) so I'm used to exim. I know that exim is GPL. I'm wondering if there are other BSD-licensed MTAs. While in this case, setting up outgoing mail isn't important, I'm using the box also as a test-bed to see how well OBSD would work instead of Debian on my main box. Being able to configure mail in that case is quite important, since without it I can't ask for help :) Thanks, Doug. http://www.openbsd.org/4.1_packages/i386.html mufurcz
