My understanding (and i'm sure someone else will correct me if i'm wrong) is that AMD extended their processors with 64-bit instructions. This was after Intel released the Itanium, with its own set of 64-bit instructions. But for various reasons the Itanium was not a commercial success on the desktop market and eventually Intel adopted a slightly modified version of AMD's 64-bit instruction set for its desktop chips. AMD calls the architecture of its 64-bit chips AMD64 while Intel calls it Intel 64. Sometimes both are referred to as x86_64. Since AMD and Intel's implementation are very similar, it is possible (and very common) for a compiler to generate code that runs on both. Most operating systems that run on one run on both, though right now it seems most typical to label the architecture as amd64 regardless of whether it is running on an AMD or an Intel chip.

At this moment I am just looking for the solution provided by Mcrypt, but I am not able to determine if GNUpg is a better choise regarding safety. You already have all the tools you need for simple password based encryption of files. To Encrypt: $ openssl enc -des3 -in filename -out filename.des3 To Decrypt: $ openssl enc -des3 -d -in filename.des3 -out filename Just make sure you remember your password and the cipher you used (des3 in the above example, and hence the unnecessarily descriptive extension .des3 I used on the encrypted file name). These days most would prefer AES or BlowFish over 3DES. All (common sense) rules for password length/entropy still apply and yes, some (possibly most) consider keys far stronger. See man 8 openssl for more details. Also see the -P switch in man rm(1) for deletion of the original, unencrypted file. Lastly, I'm not crypto expert, so do your own research and hope that if I'm wrong in the above, someone around here will be kind enough to beat me with a clue stick. kind regards, JCR

Re: Troubleshooting NFS/SFU
On a whim I decided to change the transport protocol that the Client for NFS uses and my problem has gone away. By default TCP+UDP is used, but if I set this to just UDP or TCP (via nfsadmin client), and then restart the Client for NFS service, NFS largely works as expected--with UDP apparently providing a bit higher throughput over my WLAN. I haven't tried changing nfsd's flags on the server side instead, but this might work as well. Why TCP+UDP works for FreeBSD is unknown to me, but I'm content now.

Alpha onboard PCI VGA console color issue.
Hello 'alpha' / 'misc' Alpha console color question. I got a DS20E 833 uniprocessor Alpha with onboard PCI VGA ( vga0 at pci0 dev 7 function 0 3D Labs Oxygen GVX1 rev 0x01 ) Running 4.1-GENERIC and have seen this since oBSD 3.8 when I began running oBSD on the unit. (nearly 2 years ago, wow!) OK my question is: Is there any one else running OpenBSD on an alpha in VGA console mode with wscons, and have when in multi-user mode, the console running with a blue background? The Blue background is present in all wscons displays. From MacPPC, and i386, Kernel Messages show up with Blue Background highlighting, and the background is black with nominal grey test. But on alpha, the background is always Blue, and may be triggered to black when running some utilities like vi. However even with the black background, the blue returns. and other highlights (bold text) do not appear. I would like to know in what direction I can look for the background color settings when wscons sets up the displays. There may be an update for the color palette that can be tested. Any pointers would help. -sean _ Get More out of Messenger - Get a Windows Live Space http://spaces.live.com/?mkt=en-ca

hoststated failover for ssl relay problem
Hi all,
I'm setting up an OpenBSD box as a firewall also handling loadbalancing,
failover, and ssl relaying to a group of application servers. Configuring
hoststated for the http loadbalancing and failover has been straightforward
but I've run into problems with failover for https. The ssl relay works but
won't failover to a backup table (a static web page served by apache bound
to localhost). Running 'hoststatectl show summary' gives me output saying
the backup table is in effect but there's no response from the localhost
server (which is also the backup server for http service- and works fine on
failover). Running 'hoststated -d' to see output, I get the message:
relay_from_table: no active hosts
relay sslaccel, session 1 (1 active), 192.168.1.108 - :0, session failed
whenever an https request is sent.
I've tried adding a backup table in the relay section of
hoststated.confbut syntax for a backup table is not allowed there.
I've created a service
called wwwssl and added that to the relay section but the backup table in
the service is ignored. I've swapped addresses and ports and run apache on
different addresses and ports and all other sorts of combinations but to no
avail. Does anyone have any experience or insight to share on this?
hoststated.conf follows.
Otherwise, many thanks to pyr@ and reyk@ for the work on hoststated- it's
made for another OpenBSD entry into a corporate environment (and my job
happier :) ).
Thanks!

compiled-in binary tree: fsss project
Hi!
I developed a useful (for me :) utility that probably can be useful for
someone else. It's BSD licensed.
It generates .c and .h files with sorted keys and provides programer
with _search_ function that takes key as argument and returns pointer to
the structure. Key and values are read from special file with very
simple format:
key {field1, field2, fieldn}
key2 key2_alias1 {field1, field2, fieldn}
It just like have filled binary tree at start of a program. So,
programer doesn't need to sort data at start, he has them sorted
already.

Re: installation on extended partition

I know that installation on extended partitions is not officially supported, that's why I'm asking for unofficial information. Always interesting to see how people will pick an OS for its stability and its security, then try to do unsupported things. If I could choose I would of course had tried installation on a primary partition, but I had no alternative. I would either try installing it there, or not at all. Unless you write code, it's gonna be not at all then, given those conditions. After all, I have read at various places about it being unsupported but doable (with no details anywhere, unfortunately). Oh? That's interesting, since: 1) The OpenBSD boot code does not load from non-primary partitions. 2) I'm not aware of any other boot loader out there that will directly load an OpenBSD kernel (all that I am aware of just load the OpenBSD PBR which loads /boot which loads /bsd.) For example I quote the following: flag Make the given partition table entry bootable. Only one entry can be marked bootable. If you wish to boot from an extended partition, you will need to mark the partition table entry for the extended partition as bootable. from http://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq14.html#fdisk Ok, at least you site a source. That saves you from the boiling oil. :) Unfortunately, you misunderstand what it is saying (or what was intended). fdisk can mark any partition bootable. That partition could be OpenBSD, Netware, Windows, OS/2, whatever. Now it is up to the OS on that partition to be able to boot. fdisk doesn't make it happen, it just marks the boot partition. OpenBSD's fdisk doesn't limit what you can do, which is why a lot of us end up grabbing OpenBSD boot disks when we need to clean up partitioning table messes in non-OpenBSD systems. OpenBSD's fdisk assumes you know what you are doing, no limits. What you are doing may have nothing to do with OpenBSD. I've added notes about primary partitions only in a couple strategic places in the FAQ. Usually, the people wanting to do things like this are wanting to try out OpenBSD. BAD idea. Don't try out an OS in the middle of a bunch of other OSs on the same computer. Get to know the system BEFORE you try to do multi-booting. Otherwise, you are very likely going to find yourself with either an accidentally OpenBSD-only system or a blank system. Grab someone's virus-infested computer they are discarding, and get to know OpenBSD on that. That solves a few problems at once. :) Nick.

Past shows can be found at www.twit.tv/floss, including the one I just did with Josh Berkus of the PostgreSQL project. Any volunteers? Thanks. -- Randal L.

Re: About encryption
Brian Hansen wrote: Hi I have no prior experience in encryption but wants to figure out how to - as safe as possible - encrypt some files on my computer. I have been looking at both GNUPG and Mcrypt. I am not interested in the KEY part of GNUPG but only encrypting files. Which - if any - would you recommend for the task and using what algorithms? Simplest encryption/decryption program I've found: http://ccrypt.sourceforge.net/ There's an OpenBSD package for it too. Hope it helps, Lawrence -- Lawrence Teo Calyptix Security http://www.calyptix.com/

Re: OpenBSD BIND 9 cache poisoning
Another reason to deploy OpenBSD :o) -Alan Cheng -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jakob Schlyter Sent: 2007年7月26日 3:29 To: misc@openbsd.org Subject: OpenBSD BIND 9 cache poisoning as some of you may have noticed, a new weakness in BIND 9 has recently been discovered. using this weakness, an attacker can remotely poison the cache of any BIND 9 server. the attacker can do this due to a weakness in the transaction ID generation algorithm used. when BIND 9 was first imported into OpenBSD, we decided not to use the default ID generation algorithm (LFSR, Linear Feedback Shift Register) but to use a more proven algorithm (LCG, Linear Congruential Generator) instead. thanks to this wise decision, the BIND 9 shipped with OpenBSD does not have this weakness. the proactive security of OpenBSD strikes again, jakob ref: http://www.trusteer.com/docs/bind9dns.html
