OpenBSD 6.4 on Asus TP200SA doesn't boot
Hey everyone. I'm trying to install OpenBSD 6.4 on an Asus TP200SA (ASUS Transformer Book Flip TP200SA) since days. The Wifi adapter wasn't recognized during installation (and that laptop has no LAN nic - only Wifi), anyway, finished the setup, rebooted, voila, it directly goes to the BIOS. It doesn't boot at all. Not even hitting the bootloader. Tried both MBR and GPT options for the disk during the installation, that didn't work. Tried enabling/disabling options like secure boot, CSM on BIOS, and on each try - a new system installation - didn't boot neither. I'm tired. Post Scriptum: The laptop has a 32 GB micro sd card as "harddrive", the installation program recognizes it well, though. Any idea? Thanks, --- Özgür Kazancci https://ozgur.kazancci.com
weird maildirmake problem
Hi, I've a strange problem; I installed an OpenBSD mail server last day with Postfix, Courier-Imap..etc Everything was working fine, until i wanted to re-create an e-mail account. Now, when i'm trying to make user's directory, (as root) /usr/local/bin/maildirmake -q 1000S /var/vmail/domain.com/user Maildirmake does not response the command. It just waits for forever, cursor waits, no output (just like when you simply run 'cat' without pointing to a file) till i interrupt with CTRL+C. I thought its maybe because of the permissions, But neither chown -R vmail:vmail /var/vmail did not solve that. details: OpenBSD 4.6-stable #which maildirmake /usr/local/bin/maildirmake # ls -al /usr/local/bin/maildirmake -r-xr-xr-x 1 root bin 30504 Jul 2 2009 /usr/local/bin/maildirmake i've created a ktrace.out file with ktrace -p $maildirmakepid while maildirmake was waiting, kdump'd the ktrace.out file, got such messages: 14969 maildirmake NAMI /var/vmail/domain.com/info/tmp/1271783205.14969_NeWmAiLdIrSiZe.hostname.server.com 14969 maildirmake RET stat -1 errno 2 No such file or directory 14969 maildirmake CALL open(0x80b30600,0x20e,0x1a4) 14969 maildirmake NAMI /var/vmail/domain.com/info/tmp/1271783205.14969_NeWmAiLdIrSiZe.hostname.server.com 4969 maildirmake RET open -1 errno 2 No such file or directory ... Of course, there is no such 'domain.com' or 'domain.com/user' directory in /var/vmail. maildirmake creates them, just like how it did last day. Same command, same permissions, same path, not working. Any idea? Thanks.

httpd segmentation fault
Hello. My PhpMyAdmin was stopping the requests randomly, and all i was getting was a blank page. I checked the error_log, lots of Segmentation Faults were there; error_log [Wed Mar 31 10:04:11 2010] [notice] child pid 9954 exit signal Segmentation fault (11) [Wed Mar 31 10:04:11 2010] [notice] child pid 6811 exit signal Segmentation fault (11) [Wed Mar 31 10:04:12 2010] [notice] child pid 25005 exit signal Segmentation fault (11) [Wed Mar 31 10:04:40 2010] [notice] child pid 9148 exit signal Segmentation fault (11) [Wed Mar 31 10:04:41 2010] [notice] child pid 5246 exit signal Segmentation fault (11) [Wed Mar 31 10:04:43 2010] [notice] child pid 31849 exit signal Segmentation fault (11) [Wed Mar 31 10:04:45 2010] [notice] child pid 28004 exit signal Segmentation fault (11) [Wed Mar 31 10:04:45 2010] [notice] child pid 23883 exit signal Segmentation fault (11) After a long googleing, as a workaround, I have added suhosin.session.encrypt = Off to php.ini which seems to stop the error. But; I've seen some replies in the mailling list related to this issue; -stable ports has a newer version of PHP and the Suhosin patchset where this problem and some security-related bugs are fixed. (2009.11.01) another message says: you need to upgrade php to 5.2.11, from -stable, Mine is PHP 5.2.10 with Suhosin-Patch 0.9.7. I don't see 5.2.11 from -stable tree of 4.6.

Re: Abnormally slow and unstable cvs process
Thanks a lot for the suggestions. The NIC was trying to auto negotiate, and it was ending up in half duplex. And that was the reason why the cvs checkout took 12 hours! I've fixed the problem by doing; ifconfig bge0 media 10baseT/UTP mediaopt full-duplex and then i added that to /etc/hostname.bge0 Regards. -- Ozgur Kazancci - Ozgur Kazancci ozgur.kazan...@info.uvt.ro wrote: Hello.

Re: Apache - bandwidth usage limit per vhost
Mr. Coppa, Thank you very much for the patch. It compiles without any error and it works ok but I've noticed that if the mod_throttle is loaded, apache doesn't want to restart with 'apachectl restart' anymore. You should manually 'apachectl stop' and 'apachectl start' it; A demonstration: # apachectl start /usr/sbin/apachectl start: httpd started # apachectl restart /usr/sbin/apachectl restart: httpd restarted -- (httpd stopped but did not start again) # apachectl stop /usr/sbin/apachectl stop: httpd (pid 947?) not running # apachectl start /usr/sbin/apachectl start: httpd started Do you have any suggestions? Kind Regards. --- Ozgur Kazancci
Re: Apache - bandwidth usage limit per vhost
Oh, my mistake.. I forgot that it was a jailed httpd. There was a File Not Found: /usr/lib/apache/modules/mod_throttle.so message in the error_log, but the file was already there (out of chroot path). So, I copied the mod_throttle.so file into /var/www/conf/modules and changed the path of LoadModule throttle_module in httpd.conf. 'apachectl restart' is working again. Thanks. // Ozgur
apachectl restart bug?
When apachectl issuing a restart, it sends a SIGHUP signal to httpd, and when httpd receives this signal, it doesn't exit from its chroot. So, apachectl restart becomes unfunctional when you have external modules via LoadModule in your httpd.conf. I have the following line in my httpd.conf: LoadModule throttle_module /usr/lib/apache/modules/mod_throttle.so When you have such a line, (and the module file exists there) apache doesn't want to restart (apachectl restart) anymore. After executing apachectl restart command, error_log file receives: Syntax error on line 276 of /conf/httpd.conf: Cannot load /usr/lib/apache/modules/mod_throttle.so into server: File not found But the file is already there. So i should manually 'apachectl stop' and 'apachectl start' to restart httpd; A demonstration: # apachectl start /usr/sbin/apachectl start: httpd started # apachectl restart /usr/sbin/apachectl restart: httpd restarted --httpd stopped but didn't start again # apachectl stop /usr/sbin/apachectl stop: httpd (pid 947?) not running # apachectl start /usr/sbin/apachectl start: httpd started System: OpenBSD 4.6-stable with the stock httpd (Apache/1.3.29) Regards. -- Ozgur Kazancci
Re: Apache - bandwidth usage limit per vhost
Just curious.. did 'apachectl graceful' tell you anything about that missing file when testing? -- No, 'apachectl graceful' did not give any error.
Re: Apache - bandwidth usage limit per vhost
Just curious.. did 'apachectl graceful' tell you anything about that missing file when testing? That's my first and favorite debug command for apache esp. in production env. Sorry!! I meant to ask about 'apachectl configtest'. THAT is my favorite -- No error. # apachectl configtest Processing config directory: /var/www/conf/modules/*.conf Processing config file: /var/www/conf/modules/host.conf Syntax OK
Apache - bandwidth usage limit per vhost
Hello everyone, I'd like to set a (monthly) bandwidth quota limit to my Apache virtualhosts. For instance, domain.com would have an amount of 10G/Month bandwidth limit (and in case of exceeding the limit, it'd get redirected to a Bandwidth limit exceeded alert page.) Apache doesn't come with such a feature. I tried mod_cband. It was quite unstable, has too many bugs, issues. (Dozens of unfixed security issues, bugs since few years: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=154335atid=791368 ), there is no more development for that module and it is abandoned by its developer. I tried some other modules such as mod_bandwidth, mod_curb, mod_bw, but no luck. Pretty old and 'expired' modules. Neither using PF w/ ALTQ helped, because I'm using name-based virtual hosts. (Multiple domains on a single shared IP address). The system is OpenBSD 4.6 with Apache 1.3 (the default chroot'd one). Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. Kind Regards. -- CzgCr KazanC'C'D1 Faculty of Mathematics Computer Science, The West University of Timisoara / Romania.
Re: Apache - bandwidth usage limit per vhost
Thanks a lot for the suggestions. Then what you need is exactly mod_throttle. mod_throttle project is discontinued but the latest version works just fine and does it job very well. I use it with stock Apache since OpenBSD 3.4 and never had problems with it. Could you tell me the version of your mod_throttle, please? I've downloaded the 3.1.2 one (mod_throttle312.tgz), tried to compile, but got the following errors: mod_throttle.c:726: error: redefinition of `union semun' mod_throttle.c: In function `access_handler': mod_throttle.c:2814: error: structure has no member named `sin_addr' mod_throttle.c: In function `log_handler': mod_throttle.c:3188: error: structure has no member named `sin_addr' apxs:Break: Command failed with rc=1 *** Error code 1 Stop in /root/mod_throttle-3.1.2 (line 24 of Makefile). Then, I opened the mod_throttle.c file and changed the following line: defined(__FreeBSD__) || defined(__NetBSD__) with defined(__FreeBSD__) || defined(__NetBSD__) || defined(__OpenBSD__) compiled it again. The first error (redefinition of union semun) did not appear anymore. The others remained and i couldn't go more far.. Any ideas for structure has no member named `sin_addr' error? Many thanks, Best Regards. // Ozgur Kazancci
