Re: filters in OpenBSD in printing

[Kapfhammer, Stefan]

Hello David,

you might make use of the SMM - 4.3BSD Line Printer Spooler Manual.

It is mentioned here https://man.openbsd.org/OpenBSD-6.7/amd64/printcap#SEE_ALSO
but without a referring link.

You can find it here https://docs.freebsd.org/44doc/smm/07.lpd/paper.html

Or for offline reference here 
https://docs.freebsd.org/44doc/smm/07.lpd/paper.pdf

P.S. It does not bite, even though it is from 1983

List of files to remove for upgrade

[Aisha Tammy]

Hi,

  I'm wondering why the upgrade guide at 
https://www.openbsd.org/faq/upgrade68.html

doesn't contain more list of files to remove.

Sysclean gives out a lot more names, but I haven't removed them yet cuz I

trust the upgrade guide more as it is crosschecked by humans.

But was still curious why this is much smaller than 66->67.

LPRng was removed a good while back.
What software besides the base lpr system are you using?
What commands are you using exactly?
Does it speak Postscript? That can be really helpful as a lot of
software speaks Postscript. I stopped getting printers that didn't speak
it.

apsfilter is pretty helpful for getting things working. You might give
it a try. Some of it's filters were astoundingly slow. But it helps fill
out printcap.

I haven't used lpr for a few years because my printer is in Mexico and
I'm in Washington state.

Someone else will probably be able to explain those changes.
Moving to 6.8 might be well worth it.

I haven't looked at the code recently, but I think I know what filters
you are refering to. Super archaic.

filters in OpenBSD in printing

[Raymond, David]

Questions about lpr printing:

I tried putting a filter that drives an HP Deskjet printer (works with
lprng on linux) as an output filter in printcap and it didn't work.
Would it be more proper to put it as an input filter?  I am still on
version 6.7 of the OS.  (I saw a recent post indicating that changes
were made to the lpr system in 6.8.)

One of the problems was that I couldn't get rid of the banner page
even though the appropriate flags were set.

I have looked for lpr documentation more informative than the
lpr/lpd/printcap man pages, but I haven't found anything.  The
printcap page describes some really archaic filters, but not much that
is helpful in today's world.

I am currently using cups but would like to get rid of it, because if
their set of filters doesn't do the job, you are stuck.  (Plus other
hair-pulling frustrations.)

Blobs

[SOUL_OF_ROOT 55]

Hi!

It is written in article "Explaining Why We Don't Endorse Other Systems of
gnu.org:

"BSD systems

FreeBSD, NetBSD, and OpenBSD all include instructions for obtaining nonfree
programs in their ports system. In addition, their kernels include nonfree
firmware blobs.

Nonfree firmware programs used with Linux, the kernel, are called “blobs”,
and that's how we use the term. In BSD parlance, the term “blob” means
something else: a nonfree driver. OpenBSD and perhaps other BSD
distributions (called “projects” by BSD developers) have the policy of not
including those. That is the right policy, as regards drivers; but when the
developers say these distributions “contain no blobs”, it causes a
misunderstanding. They are not talking about firmware blobs.

None of those BSD distributions has policies against proprietary
binary-only firmware that might be loaded even by free drivers."

Reference of article "Explaining Why We Don't Endorse Other Systems of
gnu.org: https://www.gnu.org/distros/common-distros.en.html

Is it true that OpenBSD include instructions for obtaining nonfree programs
in their ports system?

Is it true that none of those BSD distributions has policies against
proprietary binary-only firmware that might be loaded even by free drivers?

It is written in LibertyBSD website:

"However, OpenBSD ships with several pieces of non-free, binary only
firmware  in
the base system, and depending on the hardware detected, by default a
script will download more at first boot
,
without informing the user."

In the order their drivers reach "interface attach" code.  There are

In other words if
there's a reboot or the adapters get unplugged and moved around and
plugged back in, is there a way to make sure that the adapters
associated with axen0 and axen1 maintain those associations?


No.


Is there some way to pin an interface to the adapters MAC address?


No method comes to mind.

Well there is a method, but it is incompatible with KARL kernel
relinking so I don't think people should use that, and hence I'm not
going to explain it.


A related question: if the adapters never move, and always stay in the
same place on their respective USB hubs, will they always be numbered
the same (axen0, axen1, etc)?


Cannot gaurantee that. Especially if they are on different usb busses,
or the initial probe fails, some probes may occur late and thus adjust
the order.

From my testing, all the adapters are plugged into the same hub (not a 
good idea) and they don't get moved around, they appear to stay in order. 
I suppose that could depend on the quality of the hub being used. 
However, in the case of my RPI4, I have a USB3 hub connected to the root 
USB xHCI hub.  If I move an adapter from that hub to one of the USB 2.0 
ports (which are themselves a hub), then it's there's no real pattern was 
to which will come first, the adapters on the USB 3 hub or the adapter on 
the internal USB 2 hub.


The only real solution here, aside from using better hardware, seems to be 
to use adapters with different drivers.  That is the approach I'm trying 
next.


I had considered some late-running script that would query the MAC's of 
each NIC and then configure them accordingly or rewrite the hostname.* 
files and call netstart on them, but that just seems sloppy and 
unreliable.

You can do a fresh install and preserve existing partitions with great
care and NOT using auto partition. Just don't add /home to the
partitions to be created and make absolutely sure that the area on the
disklabel doesn't include the space allocated for /home.
But only if this fresh install is after having done a fresh install
previously. Use Custom for the disklabel step, which will reflect the
already existing disklabel, except without the mount points. You will
need to delete the /home partition, finish the install, then use
disklabel to add the home partition, fsck -fp it, and mount it manually.
If OK, add to fstab if desired.

Be sure to backup the /home partition before doing this.
Since this is a bit complicated, practice this many times, read the
manual pages very well. Buy a USB drive to practice this on.
Be sure to do something wrong. Understanding this will really help you
if you somehow have a disaster, like a sudden power failure that messes
up a critical partition hopelessly.

This is not Linux. The rules are totally different. If you ask yourself
what you would do in Linux, you have failed in this task.

Auto-partition is really helpful for someone new to OpenBSD.
But I rarely partition across only a single disk and always partition
some special partitions like /var/postgresql, /home/vip-user, /var/www,
etc. /usr/src, /usr/obj are not needed by every user now that we have
syspatch.

Have fun,

Re: fresh install

[Tom Smyth]

Hi Hakan,
easiest method would be to have your /home on a separate drive if
possible...   that way when you run the installer
your "OS Disk"  can be blown away by the auto partitioning and then
you can manually update the /etc/fstab to mount
/home to the home partition on your "Own UserDisk"

this I think is the most foolproof  (tom proof anyway )   way of doing it ...

the partition method / offsets may change from version to version (in
my humble experience) it may be because the different
disk manufacturers.

that said the OpenBSD Installers / upgrade tools are designed to be
straightforward, not to be too complex

for instance if you dont install a given install set eg xbase.tgz  at
install time, you can simply download it and extract the tgz
file in / and it will install the set just like the installer would.

If you love your data and you are unfamiliar with OpenBSDs partitions
and installers I would not be reinstalling the OS
over existing partitions without a backup.

the upgrade tools bsd.rd  / sysupgrade or the latest install.iso or
install.img are pretty  reliable when it comes to upgrades.
(even when I dont use the standard partition layouts)

I hope this helps

Tom Smyth

fresh install

Dear all,

Having been a linux user for quite a while, I am used to doing a fresh install 
every few years, following a few upgrades. I usually set a separate partition 
for the /home directory to be able to inherit my settings to the fresh 
installation. This is the first time I did an upgrade in OpenBSD from 6.7 to 
6.8, which actually went flawless, but being a skeptical linux user, I am 
wondering how I can do a fresh install if need be, by preserving my user 
directory. I chose the auto-partitioning during the installation of OpenBSD 6.7 
but I don't know if that would be possible in a scenario like this, since I am 
not sure if the installation algorithm would recognize the /home directory or 
not. Your guidance will be greatly appreciated.

osmtpd tries to send the mail as *_smtpd* even when configured to send as a

Could it be this change: https://marc.info/?t=15878902902=1=2 ?



Well damn... That would indeed cause this error.
I guess a simple fix would be to add _smtpd to the socket group or change socket

Another fix would be to have the whole virtual user system also be done using
_smtpd but I feel that keeping things with separate users is better.

Thanks a lot for the answer!

Are you using Maildir and IMAP from dovecot? I am.
I've setup using vmail as the user for dovecot. Something similar to
your virtual user files, except that I have three files:
vdomains, vaddr and vusers.

vusers has the table you are using, except moving to user vmail instead
of excision, which doesn't matter. vdomains are the domains getting
mail.
vaddr are just the plain addresses used.

action a01 lmtp "/var/dovecot/lmtp" rcpt-to alias 
action a02 lmtp "/var/dovecot/lmtp" rcpt-to virtual 

match from any for local action a01
match from any for domain  rcpt-to  action a02

This works really well. I'm also using PostgreSQL for the users,
passwords and home folders for dovecot, which solves the upcoming
removal of bsdauth in dovecot.

However, unrelated I'm having trouble setting up auth for sending. There
are many conflicting examples which I can't sort out. I'll look over
what you've posted to see if that can work for me. I have four mail
domains on this server and I'm definitely missing some small piece of
the puzzle.

Regards,
Chris Bennett



Yea, take a look at my config, it allows senders to send from any of their
allowed aliases. like no...@domain1.com has an alias anothern...@domain2.org.
Then no...@domain1.com can both send and receive mails for anothernoob.

You have a create the virtuals table, and a reverse virtuals table, called 

in my config.

Though I don't use postgresql or anything... I just cooked up a small homegrown
scheme using openssh and passwd file format storage for users and passwords.
Everyone supports that, don't think its gonna be killed anytime soon :D

Logs, ' modernity', and stdout - daemon that log on stdout - prometheus

[Sven F.]

Many new software for ' reason ' think STDOUT is a logging interface.

Of course level may become complex , and nothing stops the new
https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/sd-daemon.html * no comment *

The prometheus package just uses the nice rcctl tool to daemonize and pipe
to logger , fixing level to info : Production ready !
(I'm poking around this because I am integrating VictoriaMetrics.)

Fun fact none of them follow the SD_* tag to level the log, prometheus
is doing heroku style log , Victoria something similar, no info on
actual level ...

I first though logger could be made SD_* compliant and did it , but those
go program don't even follow that ( they probably more upstart friendly )

I can send that patch , on -d it reads stdin but look for the  and
change level.

Logger is so basic , i fear any change would never made it into base
So i thought about a perl script , as perl is in base, like so:

--
# ls -l  /usr/local/share/examples/prometheus/logger.pl
-rwxr--r--  1 _prometheus  wheel  246 Oct 19 17:35
/usr/local/share/examples/prometheus/logger.pl
--
[0]-[/home/VictoriaMetrics]
# cat /usr/local/share/examples/prometheus/logger.pl
#!/usr/bin/perl
use Sys::Syslog qw(:standard :macros);
openlog("prometheus", "pid", "daemon");

while (my $l = <>) {
  $l =~ /level=(\w+)/;
  my $ll = $1 ? $1 : "info";
  $ll = ($ll eq "warn") ? "warning" : $ll;
  syslog($ll, $l);
}

closelog();
--

and then the rc.start is like this :
--
rc_start() {
${rcexec} "${daemon} ${daemon_flags} < /dev/null 2>&1 | \
/usr/local/share/examples/prometheus/logger.pl"

I tried to inline the perl but it's just almost impossible to \ all
the $" etc..  correctly.

Maybe logger could have a -d hero and a -d sd to do that job, or it
just kept package base,
or a similar perl logger could be added so it shared for those new log
" method "
( I know ttyd is like that too )

I Hope to get some positive feedback on how to manage those log ,
and on pushing that for the package or going down the logger road

Best.

Denverton Atoms (C2000). Usual fix for those seems to be to pull-up
LPC_CLKOUT0 or LPC_CLKOUT1 with approx 100 ohms to +3.3v.

If there are problems then possibly 2 of the ports either won't work
or will be connected directly to 2 of the other ports until a magic
command is sent somehow (either gpio or via some memory mapped io
port I guess, I don't know the hardware).

Nothing in particular that I can think of.

Re: bioctl -cC -l /dev/sd1a softraid0 for encryption two disks RAID1 mirrored

Yes, it's possible, and quite common I guess. OpenBSD cannot boot from
an encrypted softraid(4) RAID 1+CRYPTO though, so true RAID 1+CRYPTO FDE
is not achieveable. (You'll have to leave an unencrypted partition for
root so that the system can boot into singleuser. When not finding the
remaining of fstab(5) mounts, rc(8) will complain and stop and give you
the option to drop to a prompt where you can manually bioctl(8) the
CRYPTO partition before continue booting. Kinda cumbersome since every
(re)boot will have to be performed attended, so you should carefully
consider whether your data is truly so important as to justify the added
troubles.)

Erling

Are you using Maildir and IMAP from dovecot? I am.
I've setup using vmail as the user for dovecot. Something similar to
your virtual user files, except that I have three files:
vdomains, vaddr and vusers.

vusers has the table you are using, except moving to user vmail instead
of excision, which doesn't matter. vdomains are the domains getting
mail.
vaddr are just the plain addresses used.

action a01 lmtp "/var/dovecot/lmtp" rcpt-to alias 
action a02 lmtp "/var/dovecot/lmtp" rcpt-to virtual 

match from any for local action a01 
match from any for domain  rcpt-to  action a02

This works really well. I'm also using PostgreSQL for the users,
passwords and home folders for dovecot, which solves the upcoming
removal of bsdauth in dovecot.

However, unrelated I'm having trouble setting up auth for sending. There
are many conflicting examples which I can't sort out. I'll look over
what you've posted to see if that can work for me. I have four mail
domains on this server and I'm definitely missing some small piece of
the puzzle.

Hey Eike,

https://mirror.planetunix.net/pub/OpenBSD has a local endpoint in São Paulo, 
Brazil if that is helpful.  Everything except packages are stored on the 
endpoint.  If you need greater speed from the node, I can upgrade it for a 
short period of time.

Re: bird make network unusable on 6.8-current

[Tom Smyth]

Hi Bastien,
can you do a
route show -n |grep 10\.42
Im guessing here but
can you verify if BGP  or Ospf is  *Not* inserting  routes that are
more specific than your connected route on your interface

say you have 10.42.42.x/24  on your interface em0

and then you receive a /32 route 10.42.42.1  to point at another address

once that route is installed your kernel wont know how to look up the
mac address of 10.42.42.1  (because it will no longer try your
physical interface)

quick workaround is put a sciatic arp entry for the ips that are being
inserted as a morespecific route than your connected route

proper workaround filter out the more specifics If you need more
specifics (have the more specific ips on a separate network that does
not conflict with your connected routes

Hope this helps

1G works over the SFP , I don't remember having a bypass port on the SFPs
when i tested the thing

Very difficult to have more speed, apparently some kernel quirks are
limiting that
according to comment in the code i saw.

I tested against a dlink ethernet to SFP , on loopback and with some
deverton based
hardware.

No need to ruin a report and useful observations with a comment like
this which doesn't help anybody.

OpenBSD is unfinished too. And all operating systems are broken in some ways.
You just need to pick whatever is the best fit for your needs.

MFS isn't particularly fast, tcpbench is better if you want to isolate
network from storage io performance. (I was surprised to see pretty
much a full Gb/s from tcpbench on rpi4!)

Thanks Stuart for the quick answer. We'll see if and when UFPR 
(Universidade Federal do Paraná) updates their mirror.

No wonder. An insider of the university would probably know  - please 
don't bother.
Ricardo Marcelo Fonseca's email of whois is not available anymore so I

This is the PHY (physical interface layer) not the NIC type itself.
Since the gigabit are listed as i211 (which *is* a NIC type) it would
seem likely they are attached to the main chipset.

I can't say for sure but I think there's a high chance that the 10G
will work, and at least some of the 1G will work, but you might run into
problems with the 1G "bypass" ports.

dmesg would be of interest :)

This is sysupgrade "working as expected".

In the order their drivers reach "interface attach" code.  There are
multiple reasons the drivers could reach this out of order.

No.

No method comes to mind.

Well there is a method, but it is incompatible with KARL kernel
relinking so I don't think people should use that, and hence I'm not
going to explain it.

Cannot gaurantee that. Especially if they are on different usb busses,
or the initial probe fails, some probes may occur late and thus adjust
the order.

They fetch files from origin sources on the fly, mostly from Canada
(for fastly/cloudflare) or USA (VDMS). Frequently fetched files can get
cached for a bit but if you're somewhere far from the origin they are
still not great. Usually better than connected directly to a far-away
site (they do keepalives so there are fewer delays, and the network
path is usually not too bad) but not as good as a real mirror.

Worth a try but don't expect magic (and there can be caching problems
with snapshots).

There was never a mirror on the official list in Uruguay.
The mirrors in Argentina closed. 

http://openbsd.c3sl.ufpr.br/pub/OpenBSD/ exists again (it was previously
broken so was removed from the list) but does not have 6.8 yet.

Hi,

  I just upgraded to 6.8 and the upgrade process has been super cool and simple

Unfortunately I seem to have hit some weird issue in OpenSMTPD where it has

delivering the mail using Dovecots LMTP due to sending as wrong user.

osmtpd tries to send the mail as *_smtpd* even when configured to send as a
different user *excision*



Could it be this change: https://marc.info/?t=15878902902=1=2 ?



Well damn... That would indeed cause this error.
I guess a simple fix would be to add _smtpd to the socket group or change socket
group to _smtpd.

Another fix would be to have the whole virtual user system also be done using
_smtpd but I feel that keeping things with separate users is better.

Thanks a lot for the answer!

Yes. We always play and record at the same time. We do it this way
because this costs virtually nothing and because once playback is
started, we can't start recording properly synchronized to playback.

South American mirrors?

[Eike Lantzsch]

Hello y'all,
Thank you for 6.8 and a painless way to upgrade.
Just out of curiosity and as a sidenote: downloading from Brazil was
always faster for me than from Canada or Europe.
Is there any information available about what happened to the South
American mirrors of Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay? They are still there
with 6.6 and 6.7 but no 6.8 and accordingly already do not show up in
the mirror list.
Do those mirrors not comply anymore with the requirements for mirrors or
will they come up later with 6.8 or is it due to the situation of the
pandemic and the closure of the s.am. universities?
Does anyone know?

Update ix(4) from freebsd to add support for X553 controllers.

Tested on 82599 (sfp+) and X540 (baseT) by me and Hrvoje Popovski,
and on X553 by sthen@ and abieber@, and possibly more via snapshots
ok sthen@ mikeb@


And is present in 6.7 and 6.8.

Firefox libGL errors if unveil is enabled

[Anirudh Oppiliappan]

Firefox 81 gives the below errors, and tabs hang for about ~2-3 minutes
before becoming usable, when unveil is enabled:

libGL error: failed to open /dev/drm0: No such file or directory
libGL error: failed to load driver: i965
libGL error: MESA-LOADER: failed to open swrast (search paths 
/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/dri)
libGL error: failed to load driver: swrast

This is on Intel UHD 620, so intel(4).  Workaround is to disable
unveil.{main,gpu,content}, but that's not ideal.

Thoughts?
