Is there any way to avoid this other than turning off the the system completely and turning it back on again? Thanks. Check out the difference between suspend hibernate; suspend uses battery power to maintain memory state for a quicker restore, hibernate flushes memory to disk and uses no battery power. Is there any way to hibernate the box instead of suspending it with apm -z or zzz? You have to create a hibernation fdisk partition on your disk and use tphdisk utility from ports to create a hibernation file there. Whole procedure is described in the built-in help in the utility. When you are finished, just press Fn-F12. Whether there is any way to start hibernation from software is still an unresolved question to me. Also, bear in mind that hibernation writes all your RAM contents to disk unencrypted, making swap and any disk encryption pointless. Regards, David

trac-0.10.5p0 segfaults on 4.5 release
Hello,
I've installed package trac-0.10.5p0 on OpenBSD 4.5 RELEASE. I'm
managing several projects and starting it (in a screen for debugging
purposes) as follows:
sudo -u _trac tracd -p 8080 --basic-auth=*,/srv/www/.htpasswd, -e
/srv/trac
The problem is that it always eventually segfaults for reasons I can't
quite work out (maybe a client disconnecting too fast?):

Re: Multiboot OpenBSD with Vista
You can probably run vista natively on OpenBSD depending on the version. OpenVista and WorldVista are quite similar, but FOIA Vista will take more tweaking. Otherwise, install OpenBSD first and then, second, your favorite linux flavor and work from that, grub is usually good about finding OpenBSD. If you go that route, then the Astronaut installer is the easiest. The main hurdle for running vista natively on openbsd is the M (aka MUMPS aka ANSI/MDC X11.1-1995) database engine. Most are built around GT.M [2], but that takes a little cleverness to port to OpenBSD. MV1 [3] compiles with little adjustment on OpenBSD, but then Vista must be tweaked. A third option is MDH[4], which takes the MUMPS database instructions and converts them to C, but that probably requires more adjustment to vista itself. There are fairly well documented APIs for working with vista, such as for a Java front-end [5] and the whole system is exceedingly well-documented. e.g. ftp://ftp.va.gov/vista/Software/Package%20Domain%20Info/ERdiagrams/ Regards, -Lars [1] MUMPS/M : ANSI/MDC X11.1-1995 :: SQL : ISO/IEC 9075-1:2008 [2] http://sourceforge.net/projects/fis-gtm/ [3] http://sourceforge.net/projects/mumps/ [4] http://math-cs.cns.uni.edu/~okane/mumps.html [5] http://sourceforge.net/projects/gtm4j/

openbsd and ethernet tap (port replication)
Hello, I am trying to replicate some traffic from a Cisco 6500 onto an OpenBSD 4.5 vanilla machine. I have two NICs, rl0 which is the administration interface and em0 which I hope to use for the ethernet tap. So far, my cisco replicates traffic happily, i can see the packet count in/egress increasing but nothing seems to reach em0. I have no PF running, the box is inside the network with a cable connected straight from em0 to a cisco port on the 6500. The cisco router reports the link live (so does OpenBSD) but no traffic seems to be flowing.

Authentication method fallback not working
Hi, I'm using OpenBSD 4.5-stable, and I'm trying to configure RADIUS authentication. What I want is for the system to try the RADIUS server, and if it fails, fall back to the local password file. In login.conf I have auth-defaults:auth=radius,passwd:radius-server=my.radius.server If the RADIUS server isn't there for whatever reason, the system doesn't fallback to password file authentication. The same happens if I specify the methods the other way round: the RADIUS server is never tried even if the password-file-based login fails. I need to make sure that I can always log in even if the RADIUS server has gone away. Is it possible to configure the system in this way?

Any suggestion outside of RTFM ;) is much appreciated. Brad Every vendor uses several different chipsets and/or chipset revisions. When I bought wireless (USB/PCI/PCMCIA), I carefully wrote down ALL the information on the box. Every model #, serial #, whatever. Then I was able to call various companies and ask exactly which chipset was in their card. Many companies had good enough staff to actually tell me. A few didn't have a clue. Then these people will easily know whether OpenBSD supports a particular device or not. A device you bought and works fine may now have been changed to one that won't work. Contacting the manufacturer is the ONLY good way.

Re: Wireless USB Adaptor
Maybe it's worth to see this presentation: http://www.openbsd.org/papers/brhard2007/ I definitely agree with OpenBSD's uncompromising stance on this. I'll take quality code from sensible devs over binary blobs any day. I admire folks who stand-up for what is right. That's one reason I choose OpenBSD over other free operating systems. At the same time, I unfortunately have to help Joe User. Occasionally I'm being paid to help Joe User. So I have to suffer fools when that is the case ;) and I'm a nice guy who likes to accommodate, but attempt to educate at the same time. RTFM does not work on most Joe Users and they often go away from that sort of conversation thinking OpenBSD is for jerks (although it is not) and I do not wish to add to that misconception. So, I was hoping to come-up with some informal rules to help bridge the gap between us and them. Thanks for all the advice. I'll keep suffering fools for now. Brad
Re: Wireless USB Adaptor
Brad, I've been burnt by buying what I thought was safe wireless cards (you can see me asking for help in the archives). OEMs change chipsets without even updating version information in some cases. Best advice is to buy something taiwanese based, based on the presentation link given On 8/25/09, Brad Tilley b...@16systems.com wrote: Maybe it's worth to see this presentation: http://www.openbsd.org/papers/brhard2007/ I definitely agree with OpenBSD's uncompromising stance on this.
