pkg_delete: removing the resulting port/package file

[Juan Miscaro]

When I install by port a package is first built.  When deleting the
package with pkg_delete the package is removed (no longer installed)
but that built package file remains.  Is there any way to get rid of it
during the deletion?  I'm running the latest snapshot.

hotplugd: detach script needed?

[Chris]

My USB drive and camera get automagically mounted by hotplugd attach
script. I was wondering if I need to write a detach script as well.
Bob Beck mentioned in his undeadly post that the detach script is not
really needed.

Could anyone shed some light on this please? Thanks.

The way I did it was to find a very popular torrent with lots of
seeders and leechers (a new linux distro would suffice) and leech as
much as possible (use rtorrent to throttle to 1KB/s up, but unlimit
down). This eventually gave me an indication of the maximum download
speed I'd likely ever see. Once I had some people fetching chunks of
the distro from me, I turned up

Try each of them and see. PRIQ made it easy to say "certain types of
traffic take precedence over others, make sure you handle all the ssh
before any bittorrent, and by the way, you can only send up to
_kbps."

Get a better NIC or a NIC with a better driver? I've used re(4),
nfe(4), sis(4), fxp(4), and em(4) with bittorrent all without watchdog
timeouts. And when I got the re(4), it was less than $20 for something
that could do better than 100Mbps. Try acpi like Daniel suggests?

altq will not help you with this.  This is an IRQ, driver or hardware
problem.  I would suggest trying an ACPI kernel (see archives), filing
a bug report or using a different hardware/driver combination.

Re: [Fwd: [Fwd: setting up a noiseless workstation]]

[scott]

The C3&7 per-watt performance is outstanding; however, their benchmark
performance, exclusive of crypto and/or multimedia acceleration, is not
on par with like MHz intel or amd processors.

The amd turion is the benchmark *AND* per-watt performance king.

Yes, there are desktop turion-compatible motherboards.

I know firsthand that as a openbsd+pf+vpn gateway the C7+motherboard
w/crypto acceleration runs circles around intel and amd at similar price
points (VIA NAB 7xxx).

I do not know firsthand the userland bounce you [may] get with some of
the embedded multimedia acceleration available in VIA platforms.

I was using during almost 2 years VIA C3-700 - and this one didn't need any
cooler (the stronger ones needed...) - but it had, in practice, less power
than Pentium II 400. Which is fanless as well.

[Fwd: [Fwd: setting up a noiseless workstation]]

Hi!

Thank you all for your feedback on my question about noiseless
workstation and providing details of your setups and links to
appropriate places! Idea about connecting keyboard, mouse and monitor 
with looong cables is clearly thinking outside a box! :) Once i even 
though myself about it but had forgotten, in fact i my case it is 
possible to use not only room nearby but below (or upstairs, but attic 
probably heats up a lot during summer).


One thing is sure, i am looking now at my currect 700 MHz Celeron with
much more confidence because as i learned surely so called older PC is 
one viable option to make a noiseless setup. And i most probably just 
find me a PCI video adapter which can do 1920x1200 over DVI, i am 
surprised, but they seem to exist. Someplace the reasoning behind their 
existance was that since usually there is only one slot for ordinary AGP 
adapter then people needing dualhead with little bit older computers 
have their only choice using a PCI slot for the other graphic adapter.


But I am surprised people aint using much VIA low-power offerings like 
C3, Eden or C7 in a form of mini-itx motherboard.


And thank you very much for your attention!


Best regards,

Imre

From: Imre Oolberg <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
To: misc@openbsd.org

Hallo!

I am thinking of setting up for myself a noiseless workstation ie
without moving parts or at least with minimal amount of them. The
intension is to make it an X-terminal booting from local network,
preferable root-over-nfs thru pxe since i am most familiar with it
compared to flash memory disks etc.

With last 4.2 CD set and shirt came nice set of bulletins on Soekris and
Liantec computers. As i understood, Soekris is more for networking
hub-firewall and Liantec could be more appropriate for workstation,
espesially because it seems to be more so-to-say PC-like, has gigabit
ports and more options for graphics.

My main concern is how to accomodate 24" 1920x1200 monitor (LCD 24"
Samsung 245T S-PVA or something similar) with it, my main tools i intend
to use there are browser, xterm, etc and not computer aided design or
something requireing exeptional precision and picture quality but of
course, picture needs to be clear and stable.

I noticed the thing called Tiny-Bus from Liantec which can accomodate
some kind of graphic adapters

http://www.liantec.com/product/tbm/TBM_DVE.htm

but i am not sure it is the best chioce to build on. As an operating
system my first choice would OpenBSD and second is Linux. In fact at the
moment i run such a kind of setup using Linux but i feel need to upgrade
my hardware, i have old 700 MHz Celeron, 19" monitor (1024x768) and
100MBit/s network.

I would be very thankful if somebody could share their experience about
putting together such a kind of computer or what do you recommend.


Best regards,
Imre Oolberg

I called today some local shops and it seems my only option is to order
this computer from internet, as a whole or by parts.

try "cu -l cuaU0" - man 1 cu.

also, what is the speed of the serial console on your switch?  verify
what that the default is, then apply -s accordingly.  you may also toy
around with tip(1).

Re: Prolific USB-Serial Controller

A) don't bother initializing a modem. Forget minicom. It's nearly  
useless for what you're doing.


B) openbsd has a utility built in to do just these kinds of things:  
"cu(1)"


C) to use cu(1) with a USB serial: "cu -l /dev/cuaU0"

 I'm not certain this is useful, but that *is* the message you get if
 pf
 blocks a packet. However, dhclient does some unusual stuff to be able
 to
 send packets even when the interface is down, and usually bypasses pf
 because of that.

 Otherwise, it's not really clear to me which host is which and which
 host is doing what, so I'm afraid I can't really help you. A little
 clarification sent to the list might be useful here.

that is a classic: dhcp uses UDP broadcasts which usually are not 
forwarded, your AP is not your dhcp-server and so the dhcp request will 
reach the AP but not your firewall.


Three solutions: dhcp relay agent on your AP (if possible) or configure 
your AP to forward broadcasts or use a dhcp server on your AP with a 
different IP range.


Try any search machine with "dhcp relay" and you will find answers.

Got a panic by ipforwarding

[Konrad]

Hey misc,

so I know there is a better way to posting Bugs. But i not really got
all information needed to post it to bugs@ or better: i have the
information in a unpropper way. So I dont really mind if you not
answer i just thought it would be a nice information that my panic
happened.

So I installed OpenBSD as an internet router on a sony vaio laptop
(dmesg see end of mail). I enabled ip-forwarding and it runs a now a
hour and then it paniced. Its the first time and it could be that the
error comes from the hardware.

Here is a pic from the panic (ddb trace)

Everywhere ? ATI Cards can do that, Matrox can and so on.

http://www.alternate.de/html/product/details.html?articleId=41922

2560x1600 might give you trouble but 1920x1200 is piece of cake.

BUT: Not every DVI-Card works with every DVI/HDMI-Monitor, sometimes
they just don't like each other. Has nothing to do with PCI though.

Not entirely true. Bogons are not supposed to be routed, or routable.  
It doesn't mean someone can't just throw up a BGP advert for a Bogon  
range and start using it, or intentionally spoof addresses from the  
route.

Wait... compare what can really be compared:

http://blogs.sun.com/security/category/alerts shows 4 types of things:

- OS alerts
- System DOS/DDOS vulnerabilities
- Third party software vulnerabilities (WHO ARE IN THE BASE SYSTEM,
say, sendmail for example)
- Third party DOS/DDOS (WHO ARE IN THE BASE SYSTEM, say, sendmail for
example)

http://www.openbsd.org/security.html#42 shows 3 types of things:

- OS alerts
- Third party software vulnerabilities (Including stuff like firefox,
etc...)
- Third party DOS/DDOS (Including stuff like firefox, etc...)

In openbsd world, DOS vulnerabilities are considered are reliability
issues... So, for a good comparison, remove from sun's page all DOS
vulnerabilities (or compare with obsd DOS vulnerabilities) and third
party software (say, firefox, etc...)

If you are looking for the system DOS/DDOS vulnerabilities of openbsd,
it's here: http://www.openbsd.org/errata.html

The fact is, you can't say third party softwares are the system so... 
 - Remove third party software vulns, DOS/DDOS vulns for both OS
 - Add openbsd DOS to it's vulns (or remove solaris DOS vulns)

Now, compare...


Now, does that comparison really means anything ? I don't think so, 
for it to eventually mean anything, you'd have to perform a complete
audit on both openbsd and sun's code, compare the number of relevant
vulnerability report for both systems, check if sun has like openbsd a
pro-active approach of security, comapre the number of users...

Good luck in your quest to answer an unanswerable question...

Pierre Ancelot.

Agreed.  Assuming that a bogon list is not tracking the changes 
in ip allocation, then yes, there would be a problem.

Assuming that one is relying on a poorly maintained (or abandoned) 
bogons list.  Then, yes I would agree there would be a problem.

But if the bogons list is actively reflecting the changes of ip 
allocation on a daily basis (ie. whois databases from ARIN, RIPE, APNIC) 
as well as the system thats using it.  Would there still be a problem?  Not 
likely.

Re: low-MHz server

[michael hamerski]

Personally, I would look into industrial-grade i386 SBCs. Old server
systems will suck juice, have non-standard weird bits and odds (old
Macs are a great example for RAM) and although I readily admit to
knowing next to nothing about EM shielding, it would seem easier to
shield properly a small box than a sprawling monstrosity.

You can still get i386 systems at or below 200MHz from a bit of googling:

http://www.advantech.gr/products/Model.asp-Category_ID=1-239XES&BU=ECG&PD=.htm

or if you are feeling slightly more adventurous than i386 you might
check OpenBSD/landisk or armish supported kit, although that might be
a bit tight for python.

anyway, hope you can find a good solution.

you have to be careful with PCI cards in 4501, the power supply

What happens when such as http://www.cymru.com/Documents/bogon-list.html
gets moved to bogon space?
How do you access information from an address that you insist cannot exist?
How doe you script things when the format changes?

At any rate, why bother spoofing from a bogon address?
It has to be easy to find unused IP addresses in legitimate address blocks.

Looks like MSFT is pleased that RMS makes software for windows

[Rod Whitworth]

In an article at http://blogs.zdnet.com/microsoft/?p=1142 there is an
opinion: "Microsoft is looking at open-source software (OSS) as just
another flavor of independent software vendors (ISV) software.
Microsofts goal is to convince OSS vendors to port their software to
Windows."

Looks like the gnus anticipated the desire for "OSS" at Redmond. If so
RMS was really ahead of his time.   8-))

USB harddrive

[Christian Rudolph]

Hi,
I'm using OpenBSD 4.2 on a soekris 4501.

I have attached a USB controller and plugged in a harddrive.
The problem is, the device doesn't get recognized by OpenBSD.

Then I tried another box and plugged in the same harddrive.
result: it works.

But I need to run this disk at my soekris box.

Following my dmesg output (working machine):

Really, what things?  Script it, set cron to call it, done.  Simple.

for USB-Serial controllers you have to use /dev/cuaU0 (callout) or /dev/ttyU0

Prolific USB-Serial Controller

[Chris]

I am trying to a access a switch connected to a USB-Serial controller
to my laptop's USB port. When I plug in the USB port to my laptop I
get the following in my /var/log/messages. But I am not sure which
/dev/ to use in minicom to access the switch. I can see there
is no /dev/uplcom0 or /dev/ucom0 or /dev/uhub1. I tried /dev/tty00,
/dev/tty01, /dev/tty02, /dev/tty03 and /dev/cua00 but minicom says
device not configured.

Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Anyone would recommend any decent program to do this? Thanks.
  


I have been using qiv for years. The pics look high quality and can be

As an operating system my first choice would OpenBSD and second is Linux.

(1024x768) and 100MBit/s network.

I would be very thankful if somebody could share their experience about 
putting together such a kind of computer or what do you recommend.



You can use old Pentium II 400 MHz - there are still many of them available,
which doesn't need any cooler, its radiator will do. Such way the only
moving part would be PS-fan, which you can slow down a little, using
a resistor 50-100 Ohm - additionally reducing a noise.

"Full" Pentium II with 400 MHz clock will give you in practice about as much
power, as that Celeron 700 (a little less, but not that much).
  


I have this setup exactly. I put a resistor on the fan in the PS and the 
machine is virtually inaudible. And the last time I checked, it consumes 
less than 20W. It has 64MB RAM, a DVI graphics card and an em NIC that 
is connected via a cross-over cable to my main server in the next room, 
which I cannot hear. The 400MHz machine boots an extremely minimal 
FreeBSD system via PXE, runs X, and connects to the main server via XDM. 
400MHz for this machine is over-kill actually. I have used an old P166 
that works just as well, but for some reason my DVI card doesn't work in it.


Because of the way X operates, all the applications run run on my main 
server. The main server is s a dual P3 1GHz with 2GB RAM and a 4 SCSI 
disk RAID0 running OpenBSD. I have been using this setup for almost 3 
years now.
