Step 1: upgrade to a 6.2-current snapshot.  Nothing is being looked at
or thought about in the 6.0 world.  6.3 is coming soonish.  That's the
only place a fix will happen, if it is an OpenBSD problem.  It will not
be fixed in 6.2 or 6.1, and certainly not something as old as 6.0.

Step 2: give your hardware a good workout.  Building the system from
source might be a good way.  What you describe could just be marginal hw
or a power glitch or a bad disk which fails during the 1:30am daily
self-checks, and got lucky once when you also happened to turn off the
no-ip app.  This really does sound more like a hw issue than an OS or
application issue.

Step 3: contact the port maintainer.  Maybe they are aware of something.
 Do not do this before steps 1 and 2 are complete, however.

After that, file a proper bug report.

Nick.



noip freezes my 6.0

2018-02-27 Thread Hess THR
Hello, 

pkg_add ...pub/OpenBSD/6.0/packages/amd64/no-ip-2.1.9p4.tgz
enable it with rcctl

.. ok, it works! heading for a sleep. 

but in the morning: the OpenBSD router was not responding. 

ok, omg, power off/on. don't know what happened, nothing in the logs. 

ok, next day, the same, during the night, the machine freezes. now I turn the 
noip off with rcctl and not running the noip client. 

.. the machine didn't freezed. 

How can I help the community, how to debug this problem? (before opening a 
low-level bugreport, want to make it a more quality report)

Many thanks.
