Absolute OpenBSD 2nd Edition pre-orders are up.

Pre-orders for the 2nd Edition of Michael Lucas' Absolute OpenBSD are now 
up on the main order website.  Expected to arrive about the same time we 
start shipping pre-orders for OpenBSD 5.3.  Pre-orders for the latter will

Re: Squid not working for connections from ssh-tunnel

2013-03-16 Thread John Tate
It seems the version of squid in ports for 5.2 doesn't support SSL or
doesn't support it the same way. What changed?

The errors:
2013/03/16 00:33:30| The request CONNECT bitomat.pl:443 is DENIED, because
it matched 'Safe_ports'
2013/03/16 00:33:30| The reply for CONNECT bitomat.pl:443 is ALLOWED,
because it matched 'Safe_ports'

It only started doing this after I upgraded from 5.1 to 5.2 and rebuilt
squid in ports.

Client-side font rendering system - from FAQ

2013-03-16 Thread James Griffin
I've added some fonts using pkg_add(1). Having looked at and read
http://www.openbsd.org/faq/truetype.html, in the section Client Side
Font Rendering, it says that fints added as a package from the ports
collection are registered automatically. Does this include when fonts
are added using pkg_add(1) or only when compiled from the ports tree?

Because i've added fonts using pkg_add(1), i'm unsure if I need to
register them or not. Could someone confirm this?

Thanks for your time, Jamie

[- Sat 16.Mar'13 at 12:36:35 +0400  Alexander Nusov :-]

 Hello,
 I'm trying to get why to use binary packages if they are not updated?
 
 For example, this package confuses me: lighttpd
 
 ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/5.2/packages/amd64/
 lighttpd-1.4.31p0-ldap-mysql.tgz339 kB31.07.12 0:00:00
 lighttpd-1.4.31p0-ldap.tgz335 kB31.07.12 0:00:00
 lighttpd-1.4.31p0-mysql.tgz337 kB31.07.12 0:00:00
 lighttpd-1.4.31p0.tgz
 
 But now the latest version is 1.4.32 because of vulnerability fix
 November, 21 (One important denial of service (in 1.4.31) fix:
 CVE-2012-5533.)

I've found that packages, as opposed to building ports, work and
function much better as they've been tested to do so and it makes like
much easier. I've got loads of different things installed as packages
and i've had no problem with any of them. I've had no need, except for
the msttcorefonts, to build any port. They are are easier to maintain
and update as well and also if you choose to delete them they are easy
to get rid of.

I do use current snapshots and my PKG_PATH is set to the snapshots'
packages which I believe are fairly up-to-date. i.e
PKG_PATH=ftp://mirror.ox.ac.uk/pub/OpenBSD/snapshots/packages/amd64/ .

I've just looked at the snapshots packages on that mirror and the
version of your package is lighttpd-1.4.32p1.tgz

So by following current, and the current packages you will get the
up-to-date versions.

a) Packages are built on correct versions of software. So 5.2 packages
work on 5.2. *MANY* people incorrectly try to build -current ports
on -stable or -relase. This does not work. And if using ports was
recommended there would be even more such carping.

b) Building from ports means building a *LOT* of build dependencies.
Like extra compilers. These are not needed when you just install
packages. e.g.  just building my normal set of packages (because I
always have experimental system and X diffs to test on top of
-current) takes 12 hours on an 8xi7 8GB amd64.

c) Building from ports means the developers do not know what you
did, what your environment looked like, etc. So bug reports are
much harder to deal with.

If you want to run the latest versions of 3rd party software you
must keep your systems at -current and either use the latest built
packages or keep rebuilding your ports.

 [...]

Since packages are built from ports, that effort is nil. The only
halfway sane reason I can think of not to use packages but ports is
being to lazy to upgrade from an old -CURRENT snapshot to a newer one.
For the security-conscient, that should not be an issue, because you are
always running -CURRENT or -STABLE anyway.

Yes, I did run xset + fp so that should have sorted it out. Having said
that, the only way I can get all Unicode characters to display, namely in
my MUA which is mutt, is by leaving the xterm font to the default. Even
if I set to a larger size, like 7x14 for example, the characters don't
display properly.

I have got urxvt installed which works fine but I don't see why I can't
get xterm to do the same thing. I've tried lots of options in my
.Xdefaults file. It doesn't matter now as I can read the small font
fine.

 Internally, the ports tree builds a package and installs that. The
 final result of pkg_add will never be different than building the
 port, except you'll have more disk space free. :)

It was just the explanation on the FAQ page I referred to that I found a
bit ambiguous; it suggested, to me at least, that building the font from
a port would set up the fonts automatically but pkg_add(1) would not.
Just my dumb interpretation of that description I guess.

Thanks for taking the time to reply -- to both of you.

 The errors:
 2013/03/16 00:33:30| The request CONNECT bitomat.pl:443 is DENIED,
 because it matched 'Safe_ports'
 2013/03/16 00:33:30| The reply for CONNECT bitomat.pl:443 is ALLOWED,
 because it matched 'Safe_ports'

This is slightly confusing but afaik is normal behaviour when something is
rejected; first it indicates the the *request* was rejected, then that the
*reply* (i.e. the access denied response) was allowed.

Still it gives a clue that the problem is with Safe_ports:

-- -- --
acl Safe_ports port 21 80
acl SSL_ports port 443
...
http_access deny !Safe_ports
http_access deny CONNECT !SSL_ports
...
acl lan src 127.0.0.1
http_access allow localhost
http_access allow lan
-- -- --

...so you deny ANY requests unless the dest port is 21/80.

...then you deny CONNECT requests except for port 443 - but this
is never reached because you already denied any request other
than to 21/80.

so you just need to fix Safe_ports.

 It only started doing this after I upgraded from 5.1 to 5.2 and rebuilt
 squid in ports.

I don't see how this config can have worked with 5.1 either.

In any event there were no substantial changes in the Squid port between
5.1 (2.7.STABLE9p15) and 5.2 (2.7.STABLE9p19), just readme tweaks and
ports infrastructure changes. (There are bigger changes in 5.3 which
has a choice of squid 2.7 and squid 3.2 - generally 3.2 is preferred
though it doesn't build on some arch so 2.7 is kept around for now).

   You thought you knew all there is to learn in an introductory book to

  worth
   a skim even just to see how OpenBSD has evolved over the last 10 years,
  if
   you have the original volume.

  Excellent, Austin! Glad you got them. Linked from the book page. And
  thanks for the plug.
