Re: spamd stopped logging
Hi, I've found that I have same problem for dhcpd daemon too. No messages are coming to syslogd anymore. Please can anyone confirm it? I was able to reproduce same problem on other box too.

Logitech diNovo Edge Keyboard with OpenBSD 4.3
I want to buy this keyboard and like to know if anyone uses it with OpenBSD 4.3 [http://tinyurl.com/5szfz6] [ebay.com]. From little what I understand, it uses USB technology and the connection from the USB to the keyboard is wireless and uses bluetooth. I wonder if this would actually work with OpenBSD.
Re: sub-notebook computers
I am using an old FJS lifebook P7010 and everything works just fine... wireless, sound, X, apm -C keeps it relatively silent and if you get the second battery, you'll get a 1.8Kg sub-notebook running obsd for about 6 hours I believe the newer FJS lifebooks are much more noisy and have a reduced battery life (that's core duo for you) It doesn't suspend, though, but I can live without that Pau 2008/8/2 Steve Shockley [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Anathae Townsend wrote: Besides the ASUS EEEPCs, has anyone tried to get other sub-notebooks working under OpenBSD?

Re: free plot software
Hi Tim and Marc, thanks for the quick answer. I have had a look at R; it reminds me of octave, but I didn't like octave because, again, the plotting engine is gnuplot. Tim, I had a look at GMT but I then read Thus, a complete GMT installation may take up around 200 Mb. and it scared me away. I know that includes the data sets etc but I didn't want to spend much time trying to udnerstand what would be too much for me or not... though I see *now* in openports.se that Filesize: 8441.547 KB ps... sorry about that... anyway... R is looking promising, I have just started to produce some plots. I am wondering about the possibility of using TeX or something similar for the labels. Do you know how to do that? I have tried to look for a while but found nothing. Of course, this is not openbsd-related, so please answer me off-list. Thanks Pau PS: Still, a BSD-licensed programme like R or gnuplot seems not to exist, right? 2008/7/30 Tim Hume [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Hi Pau, You might like to look at the Generic Mapping Tools: http://gmt.soest.hawaii.edu/ GMT is a collection of UNIX utilities for making scientific plots (with a particular focus on geophysics, but widely used elsewhere). I think it meets all your requirements of being command line driven, active and free. Cheers, Tim. Hi, do you know of a command-line, active, FREE programme to produce scientific plots? I am getting more and more used to gnuplot, but I don't like their conditions: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gnuplot#License I have read something about gri, but it doesn't seem to be as powerful as gnuplot is, and the license is, well, gpl. There are some other gpl-lincesed projects but they look either not active or not well-advanced, or are GUI-specific, as grace is. Supermongo -which I used in the past- is not very freedom-friendly and I don't like the ps result: Everything is converted into a curve, included the labels (letters). This makes very difficult the (potential) per-hand edition/modification of the ps. Just asking. Thanks in advance. Pau

Hello Chris, It comes with a Blutooth USB dongle. Once plugged, the dongle just looks like a regular USB keyboard. I use that keyboard (and also previous DiNovo versions) on OpenBSD without any trouble. Even the volume thing works with KDE. However, I highly recommend you buy a regular mouse. The built-in trackpad is ok if you don't need precision, but the lack of wheel is really frustrating. There's a pseudo-wheel emulation when you touch the sides of the pad, but it's very unreliable. This is not a cheap keyboard but you won't regret it. Best regards, -Frank. -- Frank Denis - j [at] pureftpd.org - http://00f.net - http://www.cotery.com

If your setup has too little or no swap this can happen. You are overallocating. Now ideally a system should do something sensible when trying to allocate more memory than available swap, but I guess this is a pretty hairy subject. -Otto

Not sure what's up with ftp(1). First time I tried it, making a

it transferred a file through socks, but then hanged at the end.
If I try again, it just connects directly. Very odd...

pf macro behavior change between 4.1 and 4.3?
Hello there ..
I am in the process of building a new OpenBSD 4.3 system in
parallel to my existing 4.1 system and ran into a little
glitch with regards to migrating my pf rule set to the new
system.
It seems that in 4.3, macros that expand to ports with
variables doesn't work anymore. I get a syntax error. I've
been using this since about 3.6, so didn't expect it to
break.
I've stripped the firewall config down to as basic as I can
make it, to reflect the behavior:
--begin firewall config--
external = fxp5
ssh = 22
smtp= 25
penguin = 216.39.174.25
penguin_ports = { $ssh $smtp }
pass in quick on $external \
proto tcp \
from any\
to $penguin \
port $penguin_ports \
flags S/SA \
keep state
--end firewall config--
(my original firewall config is about 370 lines, this is just
the bare minimum to repro the behavior)
If I try to validate the config with pfctl under 4.1 it
validates no problem, if I try under 4.3 I get:
pf.conf_small:5: syntax error
pf.conf_small:10: macro 'penguin_ports' not defined
pf.conf_small:11: syntax error
I have other macros that have variables in them, which expand
to IP addresses instead of port numbers and those validate
no problem in 4.3.
I looked at the web-based changelog of 4.1-4.2 and 4.2-4.3
but didn't notice anything that might trigger this. I also
re-checked the FAQ and from what I can tell what I am
doing is still valid.
any ideas?
thanks

Thanks for the quick reply! I just tried your suggestion but I get
the same syntax error. The faq doesn't mention commas either(for
recursive macros):

The pfctl-based config parsers were re-unified between 4.2 and
4.3, most things just worktm but there are some uncommon cases
which used to work that don't now.
ssh = 22
smtp= 25
penguin_ports = { $ssh $smtp }
For this in particular, you can simplify. Port names are looked
up from /etc/services; just write { ssh, smtp }. The comma is
optional - see op-list in BNF of pf.conf(5) - but imo makes it
easier to read (as does removing unnecessary macros).
I looked at the web-based changelog of 4.1-4.2 and 4.2-4.3
but didn't notice anything that might trigger this.
pfctl/pf.conf probably could have done with an explicit
mention, but on plus43.html you find Improvements in the
common parser code generator for various OpenBSD daemons
which is meant to cover this too.

It seems that in 4.3, macros that expand to ports with
variables doesn't work anymore. I get a syntax error. I've
been using this since about 3.6, so didn't expect it to
break.
I've stripped the firewall config down to as basic as I can
make it, to reflect the behavior:
--begin firewall config--
external = fxp5
ssh = 22
smtp= 25
penguin = 216.39.174.25
penguin_ports = { $ssh $smtp }
pass in quick on $external \
proto tcp \
from any\
to $penguin \
port $penguin_ports \
flags S/SA \
keep state
--end firewall config--
(my original firewall config is about 370 lines, this is just
the bare minimum to repro the behavior)
If I try to validate the config with pfctl under 4.1 it
validates no problem, if I try under 4.3 I get:
pf.conf_small:5: syntax error
pf.conf_small:10: macro 'penguin_ports' not defined
pf.conf_small:11: syntax error

Problem with current i386 snapshot
This build seems to go into an endless reboot cycle, rebooting before anything shows up in the console of a Soekris net4801. The previous snapshot (build #1004) works fine. Unfortunately I have nothing to show for it as far as filing a proper bug report.
