Re: Network performance
Hi, More Mhz. Not crappy nics, get xl,fxp,dc etc. Or maybe gigabit nics like em(4). I think he has xl and sk in the machine, sk is probably the most decent thing one can get at the moment. xl I had quite mixed results in the past, so changing that one into another sk might be all the change needed. the high irq load points into that direction, sk is a lot better there. Dont have a crappy mobo chipset and anything over 800 mhz would be able to do plenty filterings. I guess a P2 450 could work also.. yes, but a P2-233 should have enough HP for standard stuff, routing of 100mbit + some not so complex filtering with normal packet sizes should be possible. one can still stick a celeron 500 into the box, they are very cheap on ebay, in case changing the xl to sk is not enough. bye, siggi. Well I was thinking about that, but since the Sun box gives me pretty much exactly the same performance, I'm thinking the PCI bus is limiting me. After all, it's the only thing that's the same on both boxes, save for the lines themselves. And yeah, the filtering is pretty simple, about 15 rules, few tables, nothing fancy at all. I'll try and get my hands on a QFE card this week, to see if that helps. Thanks. Johan Well, just to follow up on this, the quad card didn't help either. I guess I'll make one last attempt with only sk cards, but I'm doubting the cards are the problem by now. Johan
Re: IMAP servers
Gaby vanhegan dixit: What IMAP servers do people use for email access? uw-imapd's imapd for imaps (port 993) access; sendmail with uw-imapd's dmail/tmail instead of mail.local(8) for delivery to MBX format mailboxes.

NIC bonding/trunking/802.3ad
Hi list, It seems that the topic of 802.3ad support (link aggregation|bonding|trunking|whatever you want to call it) seems to come every so often, but is often disregarded on the basis that gigE is now cheap. I see the redudancy as a much more valuable asset though. We have been recently building a new installation of 'clustered' machines to host a managed service. All tiers of the system have n+1 redundancy at both machine, power and network levels - so all switches are paired/interlinked and each machine has two physical connections to each ethernet segment, elimininating all remaining SPOF's. The frontside of our network looks something like this - http://orb.unmake.net/~hybrid/redundancy_diag.txt The recent additions to PF, CARP, OSPFD and OpenBGPD have all been godsends to a company that already extensively utilises OpenBSD in routing/firewall roles. However this has me stumped. In order for simulteanous switch _and_ machine failure in a diagonal fashion to not produce a total service outage, each machine must be connected to both switches on either side. Which obviously they can't without some layer 2/3 co-operation and it's a major show stopper for us :[ I understand that I can achieve the NIC failover in a less than ideal way by adding each pair of interfaces to a bridge and using SPF. However failover time is slow and I _imageine_ it'll break when I run NAT/CARP/briding atop of these. Perhaps it's a scenario for ifstated? Any other suggested workarounds? I see that NetBSD recently gained .3ad support by way of agr(4). Are there any plans or interest in porting this into OBSD? Would it be viable? Many thanks,

Once you've done that, you could build all the packages, another test which has proven to me that hardware I thought was good, was bad. On my 1.7G package builder it takes about 74 hours to build them all, and all of OpenBSD takes about 2:20. You might have to do that several times depending on the speed of your processor.

auvia and the VT8233/VT8235 for AC97 audio
Way back on 24 Feb 2005, a user wrote about struggling with the auvia driver, and began a conversation here on misc@ with Bruno Rohee about the use of mixerctl with this particular driver. Apparently, after turning off all outputs.*.mute, they both were able to only get audio output only thru the mic port of their soundcards. An archive of their thread begins here: http://www.monkey.org/openbsd/archive/misc/0502/msg03142.html I have a VT8235 southbridge chip, providing integrated AC97 audio.I just want 2-channel (stereo) output, but am only able to obtain left-channel output from the soundcard. I'm running 3.7-release, and of course its using the auvia(4) driver. In testing my hardware with other OS's, I've found that stereo sound works properly with FreeBSD and MEPIS Linux, and a closed source OS from Redmond. FreeBSD uses the pcm(4) driver, and MEPIS uses alsa vt82xx(4) driver. One thing I notice looking at the dmesg outputs, is that auvia sees a VT8233, while pcm and vt82xx both see a VT8235. I'm guessing, of course, but I think that PCI device determination might be the root cause of my difficulty, since only OBSD thinks the chip is an 8233 for sound. Playing with mixerctl mutes, I am only able to achieve sound output from the left channel, only when outputs.surround.mute=off. No other outputs.*.mute setting makes a difference to the function of the right channel, it stays silent. According to my MB documentation (ASUS A7VT), the soundcard ports are used in various ways, depending on whether one is configured as 2, 4 or 6-channel sound: * Line-out is used for headphones or speakers. In 4/6 channel becomes front speakers out. * Line-in becomes LFE out in 6-channel mode * Mic-in used for rear speakers in 4/6 channel mode. With outputs.surround.mute=off, I could get the left speaker working from the Line-out socket. Testing outputs.headphone.mute, I could turn on and off sound through a separate headphone port, but only the left channel would produce sound, only when the outputs.surround.mute was set to off. No other soundcard port produced sound with any mute settings. Unfortunately, I don't know enough C to debug /usr/src/sys/dev/pci/auvia.c on my own. I'm willing to assist with debugging, if there's an interested developer. And of course, any config(8) device settings or any other suggestions would be most welcome. -Josh Grosse- - audioctl defaults (left untouched) - name=VIA VT8233 version= config=auvia encodings=ulinear:8,mulaw:8*,alaw:8*,slinear:8*,slinear_le:16,ulinear_le:16*,slinear_be:16*,ulinear_be:16* properties=full_duplex,mmap,independent full_duplex=0 fullduplex=0 blocksize=4096 hiwat=10 lowat=1 monitor_gain=0 mode= play.rate=44100 play.channels=2 play.precision=16 play.encoding=slinear_le play.gain=127 play.balance=32 play.port=0x0 play.avail_ports=0x0 play.seek=28672 play.samples=10645504 play.eof=0 play.pause=0 play.error=1 play.waiting=0 play.open=0 play.active=0 play.buffer_size=65536 record.rate=44100 record.channels=2 record.precision=16 record.encoding=slinear_le record.gain=191 record.balance=32 record.port=0x1 record.avail_ports=0x7 record.seek=0 record.samples=0 record.eof=0 record.pause=0 record.error=0 record.waiting=0 record.open=0 record.active=0 record.buffer_size=65536 record.errors=0 - mixerctl defaults (played with every *.*.mute during testing) - outputs.master=255,255 outputs.master.mute=off outputs.mono=255 outputs.mono.mute=on outputs.mono.source=mixerout outputs.headphones=255,255 outputs.headphones.mute=on outputs.bass=255 outputs.treble=255 inputs.speaker=255 inputs.speaker.mute=off inputs.phone=191 inputs.phone.mute=on inputs.mic=191 inputs.mic.mute=on inputs.mic.preamp=off inputs.mic.source=mic0 inputs.line=191,191 inputs.line.mute=on inputs.cd=255,255 inputs.cd.mute=off inputs.video=255,255 inputs.video.mute=off inputs.aux=191,191 inputs.aux.mute=on inputs.dac=255,255 inputs.dac.mute=off record.source=mic record.volume=255,255 record.volume.mute=off record.mic=0 record.mic.mute=off outputs.loudness=off outputs.spatial=off outputs.spatial.center=0 outputs.spatial.depth=0 outputs.surround=255,255 outputs.surround.mute=on outputs.center=255 outputs.center.mute=on outputs.lfe=255 outputs.lfe.mute=on - OBSD dmesg (note VT8235 for pcib0, but VT8233 for auvia0) - OpenBSD 3.7 (GENERIC) #50: Sun Mar 20 00:01:57 MST 2005 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/GENERIC cpu0: AMD Sempron(tm) 2600+ (AuthenticAMD 686-class) 1.84 GHz cpu0: FPU,V86,DE,PSE,TSC,MSR,PAE,MCE,CX8,APIC,SEP,MTRR,PGE,MCA,CMOV,PAT,PSE36,MMX,FXSR,SSE real mem = 502833152 (491048K) avail mem = 451821568 (441232K) using 4278 buffers containing 25243648 bytes (24652K) of memory mainbus0 (root) bios0 at mainbus0: AT/286+(37) BIOS, date 01/07/05, BIOS32 rev. 0 @ 0xfb9b0 apm0 at bios0: Power Management spec V1.2 apm0: AC on, battery charge unknown pcibios0 at bios0: rev 2.1 @

Re: kernel pppoe problems
Jason Ackley wrote: Can you try turning on the debug flag to pppoe0 ? Good advice, debug mode gives lots of useful output also tcpdump on the parent interface, eg. 'tcpdump -nei fxp0 no ip' helps. I just tested this in a lab setup and it would not connect unless the debug flag was set on the interface. The other side was a cisco and it seems that they could not get out of the configuration negotiation phase (cisco was never getting far enough along to authenticate via RADIUS server). If I had 'debug' set on the interface, it came up instantly. now, this is not what the debug flag is intended for. it is also not good for system logs, so instead of discussing such 'workarounds' which, unfortunately live much longer than the bugs themselves. I suggest we try to identify the problem. This was tested on 3.7-release kernel and a -current as of a day or so ago on i386 and amd64. I am checking my setup now to make sure all my boxes are in sync. I can't see any problem report about this in my inbox (which is quite a mess nowadays, so it is equally likely that I missed it), If you can spare some time to send me pppoe debug outputs, tcpdumps with without the debug flag, and if possible logs/dumps from the cisco side, I we can do something about the problem.

Check the archives if you're curious. You're on thin ice and you'll probably get a lot of mail off list since no one wants a repeat performance. If a well written complete *_Operating_System_* like OpenBSD can go the 8 years since 1997 with only one remote hole, a well written single application like djbdns going the 4 years since 2001 without issue should not be difficult for you to imagine. Let me guess, -you're used to running gnu/linux or microsoft products? The easiest way to sum up previous discussions of the topic is simple: Many people swear by djbdns because it is well written code but on the other hand, many people swear at djbdns because of it's poorly written license. Both djbdns and the BIND implementation that comes with OpenBSD are very good ways to do what you want. Take your pick. If you want the pros and cons of each, search the archives. Asking (again) on the list for the viewpoints of users on which is better is really just asking for trouble.

Just FYI. I am finishing up a port that hopefully will be put in for MySQL 4.1.12, their latest recommended stable version.

Would be nice to get some testing as well. I use it without problem so far. I have the packages for i386 and amd64 ready for all clients, servers, and test, or the files if you want to make your own compile from source. I haven't send it in yet to port@ as I am almost all there, not to my liking yet, but it does work and is all complete for the clients and servers part. I am still struggling with the tests part a bit. I have amd64 done on stable 3.7 and i386 done on stable 3.6. Testing if you want, may be good to do! I can make the packages available if you like, or my files for making your own from source. Works for me... Daniel

And what an awesome meeting it was. About as many developers as attendees Thanks to Theo Gang for the talk and QA even though we were a shy bunch. Obviously too impressed with the presentation by Ryan. Henning enjoy your extended stay here. Now, where can you pick up one of those Zaurus's in Calgary Robin Theo de Raadt wrote: why not https://https.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/order ?

I used to buy them at Nexus Computer Books, but now that they are gone, I'm not sure where to buy the CD's in Calgary. There are currently no stores in Calgary selling CDs directly. The CDs get shipped out of a town about 3 hours drive south of Calgary. Obviously not by me, since I have my hands full with other things. Tonight, just tonight, CDs and other things can be bought at 5:30pm at the CUUG meeting in downtown Calgary. See http://www.cuug.ab.ca As an added bonus, besides CDs we are bringing 60 developers along for a QA after the talk. .
Re: djbdns DNS server? Status, Pros and Cons?
Is it not just a license problem that keeps djbdns out of the BSD's ? just That word really does not belong there. That's a phrase used in english often used to express how small a problem is. It is not a small problem. It is fatal.
