OpenBSD still tries to use wifi. I thought perhaps it might time out and decide to use the wired interface, but it does not. Th only solution is to su to root and rename hostname.wi0 then run /etc/netstart. Not ideal for a desktop system for everyday use. Can anyone think of a practical solution? Thanks Best Regards Edd maybe you could use 'ifconfig wi0 down' (that disables all the routes configured to that interface)..? and than the whole traffic would be passed through the 'wired' interface (assuming proper config on that interface). or you could try to manipulate the routing tables via route(8). take care.. -- Przemyslaw Nowaczyk [EMAIL PROTECTED] CS student @ Poznan University of Technology

Re: HW: Wireles PCCARD
Just got word from 3com The RCPAG175 PCCARD uses the Atheros AR5001+ chipset. No knowledge of chip changes and revisions, as in they would not know even if there where changes. There is also a new model on the horizon, RCPAG175B, that should be using the AR5414 single chip solution. I have not had the opportunity to test mentioned hardware in any way, but someone might find the info usefull.
Re: Wifi + wired laptop
Could you possibly have written a more useless plea for help? yes You haven't said 1) what version of OpenBSD you are using, 2) what laptop you have, 3) what wireless card you have, 4) a copy of the kernel dmesg output. None of this matters given that the unreliability isnt anything to do with openbsd. I believe this to be my location. All im asking is how I can get the OS to switch from one to the other automatically if one is not available. I think you misunderstood my question. I *think* what you want to learn about is the dhclient command so you can switch back and forth between a wireless and ethernet connection, but given the lack of details, I can't be sure. Yes I'm familiar with dhclient. Not sure how this could help though. You need to read the openbsd site and pay particular attention to the mailing list procedures. I plead not guilty. maybe you could use 'ifconfig wi0 down' (that disables all the routes configured to that interface)..? and than the whole traffic would be passed through the 'wired' interface (assuming proper config on that interface). yes, this was one of my initial ideas. Requires intervention... you could try to manipulate the routing tables via route(8). I'll look into that. Thanks for your help. I don't have the means to try this at hand, but write a simple script to change the default route as needed, back and forth between the wired and wireless interfaces. I can't immediately think any reason that won't work. Thats exactly what I do right now. I have a script with the suid bit set that i can run to switch interfaces. Its the suid bit I dont like. Thanks for the input guys Best Regards Edd

That was a local shop; possibly there are other vendors that offer lower prices. I recommend checking for those chipsets when purchasing.

p5-Expect problems in chroot
I'm trying to get a simple authentication cgi working in the default chroot, but I'm running into some pty problems. I've installed p5- Expect from packages (and the dependency p5-IO-Tty) and copied the files into chroot. The script runs fine when run manually (non- chroot), but fails with the following error when run via apache: pty_allocate: openpty(): No such file or directory at /usr/local/ libdata/perl5/site_perl/i386-openbsd/IO/Pty.pm line 24. Cannot open a pty at /sites/cgi/syncauth.cgi line 11 Tty.so contains the missing openpty() function, and has been copied into the chroot, so I'm not sure what else I might be missing. Any ideas? Thanks, -- Jason Dixon DixonGroup Consulting http://www.dixongroup.net

Storage Server
I work for a small company with me as a makeshift computer administrator. Our company currently has two offices with their own file servers. I have an offsite backup server that currently backs up both file servers remotely (via rsync), everything is running OpenBSD 3.7. We are upgrading the backup server to a Dell Powervault 220, leaving room for expandability. I see from the archieves that this is the same model used by the OpenBSD team for their CVS. I am planning to use this server with a mirrored raid 5 configuration. I was hoping someone here could answer a few questions. Can I install OpenBSD on this PV 220, or is it just a bunch of disks with no processor? If so, does that mean I need another computer to install OpenBSD on, that will use the PV 220 as it's storage? Can this be any computer (what requirements, any recommended brands), or does it have to be this Dell PowerVault 745N (which seems to come pre-install with some Windows Storage Server OS)? I know this isn't the most on topic posting to this list, but it is the only list I am a part of, and I trust the opinions on this list. Thanks for any help! _ Dont just search. Find.

If I'm reading correctly you can attach the enclosure to any system with a decent SCSI interface. Just make sure whatever that machine is that it has a SCSI interface that is well-supported by OpenBSD. Greg
Re: nat problems when using address pool
Just an update. It seems source-hash, for whatever reason, simply doesn't work for me. I did find an older post that exhibits a similar issue: http://www.monkey.org/openbsd/archive/bugs/0403/msg00211.html Round-robin works fine, but source-hash will always leave some systems blind to the Internet; they can ping the gateway's internal interface but not the external interface. On a more upbeat note, I discovered sticky-address which, if it doesn't cause the problems that source-hash did, will be a very good solution, ameliorating the issues caused by round-robin alone; plus, as an added bonus, will allow me to use a table instead of a CIDR block. I have implemented it, so far, so good. My fingers are crossed that the same side effect caused by source-hash doesn't appear. Chris

HOWTO Install MySQL GUI Admin / Query Browser on OpenBSD 3.7
Hello, I have put together a guide on building mysql-administrator and mysql-query-browswer on OpenBSD. Below is a text version (html version is available; I can send it to anyone interested). I have submitted the html version to daniel at openbsdsupport.org. This is a work in progress. Any help testing, commenting, expanding, correcting, etc... is always appreciated.

For user administration (and probably other features), mysql-admin 1.1.14 needs to connect to a MySQL 5.0.3 database. This version of mysql-admin is sending the SQL query select * from mysql.procs_priv and, when that fails, mysql-admin will give the Could not retrieve user privilege information. error dialog.
