XenServer 5 with OpenBSD
Here is my experience trying to run OpenBSD with XenServer 5 Enterprise. * XenServer console doesn't function properly as it keeps overlaying text displayed previously or anything you have typed into the console. Makes it very difficult to read and see what you are doing. As well it appears numerpad with numlock on does not work either. The best work around is to SSH into OpenBSD. * Receiving the following error messages at boot up, clock: unknown CMOS layout and rl0: watchdog timeout. Yes the NIC is being detected as a Realteak 8139. If I check /var/run/dmesg.boot out of the two error messages I only see the clock: unknown CMOS layout. So I would assume the watchdog timeout message occurs after initial boot sequence. The biggest question is OpenBSD on XenServer 5 Enterprise consider production ready even if the errors cannot be resolved? I've tried locating some definite solutions but I have yet to find anything and it appears that the network card issue maybe due to XenServer 5 itself. Any suggestions on how to solve these error messages and fix the XenServer OpenBSD console?

Re: Virtualisation on OpenBSD?
I have OpenBSD v3.7 and v3.8 run just fine in VMWare Server. I however haven't fixed the VMWare Tools issue as of yet but apparently there is a work around to have VMWare Tools work for OpenBSD as well. I have a bunch of OpenBSD on VMWare bookmarks if you want me to post. Is there any software that supports OpenBSD that can do full virtualisation? I don't think VMware would be supported on OpenBSD.
Re: Open BSD commands
Hi. When I try doing sysctl on hw.vendor and hw.product I receive a message of sysctl: second level name vendor in hw.vendor is invalid and sysctl: second level name product in hw.product is invalid. Does this mean syctl is unable to retrieve this information or the information is not present?

Apache: Odd Errors with HTTPS and NameVirtualHosts
Hi I'm getting the following errors when trying to use HTTPS. Yes I have SSL started. I've tried doing this with apachectl startssl and with httpd -DSSL. When I try to access HTTP on Port 43 it works fine, but if I use HTTPS on Port 443 it dies with the below errors. HTTP with port 80 works fine. So it seems HTTPS is trying to use HTTP. I'm running Apache v1.3.29 using mod_rewrite, PHP and MySQL on OpenBSD v3.7 i386. ACCESS_LOG \x80g\x01\x03 501 ERROR_LOG Invalid method in request \\x80g\\x01\\x03 At startup of Apache I get a warning notice of [warn] NameVirtualHost xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:443 has no VirtualHosts. I have two virtual hosts for port 80 based on IP to ServerName. I then have one virtual host for SSL port 443. I have NameVirtualHost xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:80 and NameVirtualHost xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:443. Any ideas or suggestions how to resolve these problems would be much appreciated. Thanks.
Re: Apache: Odd Errors with HTTPS and NameVirtualHosts
Okay, but this is only part of the problem from what I understand from reading the provided link. How can I have multiple sites on the same server then if I don't use name-based virtual hosts without using multiple IP addresses? Any idea about the other issue I'm having?

Re: MS Security VP Mike Nash remarks on MS vs OpenBSD security.
Here! Here! I am so sick of these crappie articles down playing something when they don't even come close to the truth and the facts. What really amazes me the most is the fact that the average user just sits back and does nothing about the problems they have with MS or Windows. They just accept the fact that it sucks and never bothers to complain. Can you imagine if everyone started to complain to Microsoft how much trouble they would have on their hands.

Re: theo Sophie Laurie
I've sat back and read these email discussions and said nothing. Generally I feel this is what should be done but I can't take it anymore. Here is my 2 cents and my final 2 cents as I don't care to join in the polluted discussions. I'm a huge advocate of OpenBSD and the OpenBSD community. I've always encouraged others to use OpenBSD and help in any way I can weather that be financially or just to solve a problem. I've even taken the time to write various OpenBSD related documents. I give where I can. OpenBSD to me is not just a product but a community and is treated on a personal level. I can understand why one would get defensive, frustrated or just plain pissed off. However we need to get beyond this and treat one another with respect and help where we can. As the saying goes, Do onto others as you would wish them do onto you. However saying all this I could drop it all like a hat however I hope that day never comes. As I too hope this whole discussion has been an isolated incident gone wrong. No one deserves to be treated the way Sophoie Laurie or anyone else for that matter. Sophie was just asked a simple question. Sure should have done this and that but she didn't just a simple kind reply would have sufficed. I don't know how good this is coming from me, but I personally would like to say to Sophie Laurie and her son sorry for this horrible incident and I apologize personally and as a OpenBSD community member. I truly hope that this does not tarnish your continued support and use of OpenBSD. OpenBSD is a great thing and I too still believe the community of it as well is great. Everyone is here to help and continue the growth of this great product. Please let's move on and get to something more constructive. Best, Adam

Re: OpenBSD Desktop Document
I think your doing a great job. It's a good start. Here's my 2 cents on what I would suggest doing. 1. Add page numbering (i.e. 1 of 2) 2. Add author/contact info. 3. Add version of document and revision # or date. Also I noticed you updated the document since the first post. This is great however looks like the PDF version is completely shot. Why do I say this, because there is no visual structuring of the document like you had before. I understand having the other formats but what the heck is the point of having a PDF if one doesn't have those advantages? It's my 2 cents do what you want with it because it's your document no one else's. Best, Adam

The initial idea behind the site was for all BSD related RSS feeds to be able to be seen in one location. I wanted this for in University. It saved valuable time which would be otherwise spent by browsing each and every site. If you know of any other BSD related RSS feeds you would wish to see, please email me.

Re: OpenBSD's 10th birthday
A big congratulations and Happy Birthday to OpenBSD. I would have to say OpenBSD IS the OS of choice for security and ease of use. I've tried many OSs over the 16 years I've been computing for and nothing compares to OpenBSD. I look forward to the next 10 years as I will continue to stand behind OpenBSD in support, use and encouragement of others to use it. I would like to say thank you to the OpenBSD Team, to all the developers, supporters, porters and advocates. OpenBSD is secure, stable, free and functional! Long Live OpenBSD! I wear my OpenBSD t-shirt with pride! Happy Birthday OpenBSD! Quoting Theo de Raadt [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Now it is really OpenBSD's 10th birthday ;)
Re: Webmail recommendations?
I've used SquirrelMail and it works with both IMAP and POP3. It's pretty good, simple and functional. However it does lack more advanced features suchs as threading, searching, etc. I personally wish it had. Adam I am at a loss for a good web interface. Anyone care to make any recommendations? I'm a pretty big fan of SquirrelMail. It's a web-based IMAP client, so you'd need an IMAP server as well (I use Courier). It works just fine with OpenBSD's chrooted Apache, which is a big plus.
