I'm afraid your data is lost. When you entered a new passphrase, a new
random encryption key was created and stored (encrypted with the
passphrase) at the same location as the old one (see
/usr/src/sys/dev/softraid_crypto.c, line 571 and line 576). That means
the old encryption key has been overwritten and your disk content
reduced to bit rubbish. I just hope there wasn't too much important data

 What are my solutions? I'm searching for one that doesn't use packages from

Qemu only or switch to real virtualization Ldoms where OpenBSD runs
fine as a host/guest. Not sure how well CentOS runs inside Ldoms if at

 by tweaking login.conf.

 Something is borking Apache and causing it to use UP all resources in an
 'unauthorized' manner, or *think* they have all bee used.

The error message you quoted in your OP occurs in one place in the source,
and it is in connection with a fork(). When fork() fails and returns the
quoted error [EAGAIN], it is because of one of the following conditions:

 [EAGAIN]  The system-imposed limit on the total number of processes under
   execution would be exceeded.  This limit is configuration-
   dependent.

 [EAGAIN]  The limit RLIMIT_NPROC on the total number of processes under
   execution by the user ID would be exceeded.

So, there is definitely an issue of exceeding a maximum number of
processes, the question is just *which* limit are you bumping your head
on, and *why*.

Re: PF and label for traffic Accounting

Hello,

Instead of driving yourself crazy with labelling traffic, one very simple
way is to use pfstat.  The package will even generate good-looking graphs
for you and you can post them anywhere you wish.

If your web server isn't running OpenBSD or if you want a more generic
solution, there is MRTG as well.  Try looking at several solutions beyond
what you have and see which one fits.

Good luck.

OpenBSD is not targeted to typical users (but it can be prepared for

administration is English so why to have installer in different
language? Especially one which is mostly about hitting enter only. In
running system after install you can have any of the most used
languages either for keyaboard only in console or complete apps in X.
For sure you're free to provide patches for multilingual installer as
long as it will be able to fit one floppy only (want to see that
