This is also true. In my experience with Gnome, KDE, et. al., these
fancy configuration menus and wizards generally wind up being leaky
abstractions. Writing a simple format into /etc/hostname.if has in my
experience had far fewer caveats than NetworkManager or nm-applet. I had
mostly addressed stability in terms of UI/UX design, but in the broader
software quality meaning of the word it's a good point.

I would be fine with using a fancy tool to configure everything... if it
worked and was consistent. So far the only such tool I've found to
deliver on that (actually functioning and being consistent) is OpenBSD's
/etc/.



Re: When will be created a great desktop experience for OpenBSD?

2019-05-08 Thread Charles
I'd like to chime in here, on a slightly different subject.

I think the OP (Clark) raises a point, but I suggest he's coming it
from the wrong angle. I think there's something here to discuss that I
have not seen mentioned in this thread thus far.

TL;DR: the OpenBSD (and friends) way of thinking is falling further and
further out of fashion with respect to mainstream computing  -- I justify
this statement, posit on the need for action, and propose a starting
point.

Disclaimer 1: I use OpenBSD at various points to refer to the piece of
code, to the development philosophy, to the development team, and to the
community of users. I try to make clear which I am referencing; sorry if
it's confusing.

Disclaimer 2: I am not an OpenBSD developer. I have contributed only in
very minor ways. I don't speak on behalf of anyone other than myself as
a user of OpenBSD. If it seems at points that I am speaking on behalf of
"OpenBSD" (by any of the previous definitions), I intend that as an
appeal to my perception of what the community of users and developers
feels and thinks, based on my interactions with them here and elsewhere.
If I am wrong in this respect, I invite corrections.

It certainly seems that there is a great disconnect from the canonical
(small c) definition of "great desktop experience", and the OpenBSD (and
friends) definition. I feel that the broader notion of what a "great
desktop experience" means within the context of the 2019 zeitgeist has
trended towards pandering to the user, in my view to the point of being
patronizing.

"The users cannot be trusted to manage their own files, it's too hard and
will confuse them."

"The users cannot be trusted to install their own programs, it's too hard
and will confuse them."

...

"The users cannot be trusted to make decisions, it's too hard and will
confuse them."

You get the picture (hopefully).

Part of this is perhaps because the users are "bad at using computers".
I think most anyone who has helped a computer-illiterate family member
or friend with any technology related problem for more than 5 minutes
will see the truth in this statement. But I think it's not the users
fault; many might argue "but if the users would only learn X, Y, an Z
DE/WM/OS/app/etc". I feel that many _do_ argue this, with all the talk
these days of "pushing the envelope", "modern UX", "innovation", and so
on in big blinking neon letters. Ultimately, what this means is telling
the users "yup, you learned $paradigm, but now we have $paradigm++
because it's the new big thing". If you're a corporate user on a box you
don't control, or you just don't have the experience to do systems
administration on your own, you have to suck it up and deal with it.

That probably won't be a relateable sentiment to nearly anyone likely to
ever read this document. But as a thought experiment, let's imagine if
vi got a fresh now UX paradigm every year or so, and let's pretend for
the sake of argument that we can't patch it or revert. I think all of us
would not want to use such a program very much. vi takes a while to
learn, and while I (as a diehard vim user) would argue against the
notion of the vi paradigm as the One True Way to edit text, it is
certainly a very powerful tool... because of the time put in to build
muscle memory and intuition about it, knowing that that knowledge will
be applicable to vi implementations for decades to come. Without the
ability to trust that time spent front-loading learning will not be
wasted when $paradigm goes to $paradigm++ in a year, who would ever
invest effort into learning more than the bare minimum?

Remember that the typical computer user sees their box the way most of
us probably see our cars. It doesn't matter how it works, as long as it
does, but nobody wants a car where the gas and brake pedals switch every
second Tuesday and you wake up one morning to discover the head unit is
now entirely in Sumerian.

It would seem that this creates a self-perpetuating feedback loop. The
users have a difficult time using the software because they don't learn
it, so the software changes to accommodate the users better, which
further puts folks off of ever learning any of it very well (by
punishing the ones who try). I suggest that this trend has become so
prolific that it has seeped into the general human population's
consciousness around how interacting with computers works.

Think about it. How many software packages do you know of where a user
could learn how to use it well once and have that knowledge be
applicable for years or decades thereafter? This is something we expect
(as technical folk) of shells and editors, scripting languages, and so
on, but it is not something that the layperson using a GUI can now or at
any point in the past reasonably expect.

Remember also, that every developer was one a user at some point. It
sure seems that the wall you have to climb over to go from user to
developer keeps getting higher and higher every year.

This appears to have done the trick. I tested with two displays that
were affected by the originally noted issue. I will continue running

Xorg blanks until I switch to a TTY and back on 6.5

2019-04-28 Thread Charles
Hello list,

Ever since the new inteldrm driver got merged into -current, shortly
before the 6.5 release, I'm seeing an odd new behavior on my Thinkpad
T430 -- when an external display is connected, Xorg blanks all screens
(but the mouse can still be seen) until I switch to a TTY and back with
(i.e. C-A-F4 then C-A-F5) after which point it goes back to normal.

I'm glad the new inteldrm driver got merged, since it fixes several
other video issues I was having. This problem is very minor since the
workaround is just a few extra keystrokes when I dock or undock, but it
is nevertheless annoying.

Is anyone else experiencing this issue on third gen core-I series Intel
chips with integrated graphics? Or on any other chips for that matter?

I checked Xorg.0.log and didn't see anything suspicious. I also tried
disabling monitor hotplugging via Xorg.conf, but I either did it wrong
or it had no effect.

I would attach xorg logs and dmesg, but AFAIK misc@ does not allow
attachments, and I don't want to annoy people with that much inline
info.

Thanks,

~ Charles

that instead of using Meta (e.g., Alt+x), I can prefix with Esc, and

I'm used to.  But how?

Supposedly, this should work:

can ssh to a different system and can use Emacs with the left Alt key
allright), where I had to tweak the .Xdefaults:

XTerm*eightBitInput: false

How to get the console work the way I want?

Re: OT: mail retrieval software

Hi,

 Grateful if anyone could recommend a mail retrieval program which does
 not require a local SMTP service like fetchmail does.

From the fetchmail man page :
   -m command | --mda command
  (Keyword: mda) You can force mail to be  passed  to
  an  MDA directly (rather than forwarded to port 25)
  with the --mda or -m option.

3.8 panic on boot (rd0)

2006-01-07 Thread Charles Sprickman

Hello all,

I have an older i386 pc that I've been using as my home firewall for some 
years now.  It currently runs 3.3 and I was hoping to do an upgrade, so I 
did go ahead and buy the full CD set (impressive packaging, btw) after 
having trouble with boot floppies (marginal drive) and the boot CD ISO.


However, the kernel panics every time I try and boot the 3.8 CD.  I've 
also tried 3.7, 3.6 and 3.5 boot CDs that I downloaded from the OpenBSD 
ftp server.  Hardware seems fine; I ran memtest86+ for a day and it did 
about 30 passes with no errors, I tried different CD-ROM drives, different 
IDE cables, removed all network cards, etc., but still it panics in the 
same place (right after rd0: fixed, 3800 blocks).  CPU is an AMD 
K6-2-500 clocked down to 300 - temperature is fine (about 110F), mainboard 
is an old Epox.


On the suggestion of a bsdforums.org user, I tried downloading bsd.rd and 
booting that from the 3.3 install, and that failed.  I'm guessing it has 
something to do with the exec format changing; perhaps the old loader 
doesn't understand the new kernel exec format?

2006-01-16 Thread Charles Farinella
I have continual trouble installing from ports.  I am under the
impression that I cd to the proper directory in my ports tree, type make
install and the package should install.

In more than 50% of the cases in which I attempt this, it appears to
download and build the package, but towards the end of the process I get
failures 'Error code 1' mostly.  Here is the latest of them for
BerkeleyDB:

I can't help but feel that I am missing something fundamental, perhaps
these messages will be meaningful to those with more experience than I.

This is OpenBSD 3.8 installed on a G3 Mac.

kernel debugging when booted off install cd

2006-02-02 Thread Charles Sprickman

Hello all,

I'm still not able to get OpenBSD 3.4-3.8 loaded on my old firewall box. 
It either freezes or panics when probing (or creating?) rd0, which I 
assume is the ramdisk used in the install.  It runs 3.3 fine.


So rather than just asking some random questions, I'd like to know how to 
save a dump when booting off of the install CD.  I do have a serial 
console available (set tty com0).  If getting a dump isn't possible, I'd 
then like to know how to get into the kernel debugger.


I figure that I can gather information that's more helpful this way.

Thanks,

Charles

Perhaps you need to look at the FAQ if you're running i386:
upgrading/reinstalling OpenBSD/i386 using bsd.rd-a.out [1].


Excellent, I did not know how to boot an ELF kernel from the a.out 
bootloader.



If that doesn't solve your problem, a dmesg would be your best bet.
Information from a panic (trace/ps, obtained through the debugger you
get dropped into) would also be helpful. Since you mentioned you have
a serial console available, I recommend using it to file a report.


OK, so I grabbed the 3.5 bsd.rd-a.out and I get the same results.  Instant 
panic, and then a reboot.


dump to 1001
dump error 19

How can I go about getting it to crash into the debugger?

Thanks,

Charles


Upon freezes, I usually try to boot into the UKC to set the verbose
option. Typically, this gave me a hint in devices to disable. As a
sidenote: my own usual culprit is the ahc(4) driver. That said, this
only happens with two machines, each having an nVidia nForce2 chipset.
Given that you mentioned rd0 as a problem point, I doubt you are
having the same underlying problem.

Cheers,

Rogier

You aren't going to get nor save a dump when booting off the install CD. 
You really don't want a panicked kernel writing to your good data disks, do 
you?


In this case, I don't mind.  I've got another box in it's place so I'm 
prepared to do anything I need to do to get this running a current version 
of OBSD.


The install kernels don't have all the bells and whistles of the production 
kernel, that's how they fit on floppies and such.


Got it, so there's absolutely no way to dump to a disk?  It looks like it 
tries to...  I also don't have another box handy to build a custom 3.8 
kernel on.  And I also wonder if a non-rd kernel would panic, as the panic 
happens as it tries to deal with the ramdisk...


Use your serial cable to capture the output of the boot process.  THAT will 
tell us much more about your hardware.


I've got a thread here:

http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?t=11366659953r=1w=2

I reposted since I just wanted to get the basics on getting a dump in 
OBSD.  I figured once I had that, I could actually file a PR or something.


A completely Wild A..ed Guess, based on the symptoms, you may have way too 
little RAM for the newer kernels (16M will get you running still, but 32M is 
a practical minimum) and floating point emulation broke after 3.3 on i386 
(translation: no more 486sx or 80386 w/o 80387 support).  If I were to bet, 
I'd say you probably have no FPU on your machine.


It's old, but not that old.  I've got 128MB of RAM.  Processor is an AMD 
K6-2/500 clocked down to 300.  VIA chipset.  I've had memtest86+ go 
through about a dozen runs with no errors.  3.3 works flawlessly.


Not sure where to go from here...

Thanks,

Charles

Re: wi: ifconfig txpower wrong for non 100mW wireless cards?

2006-06-14 Thread Charles Dietlein

EE/RF pedant here (there had to be one, right?).


However, I doubt that e.g. subtracting 3dBm is sufficient, say


Without going into detail, it needs to be said that dB is a relative
measurement while dBm is absolute.  Thus, one would state that 3 dB is
subtracted from X dBm in order to represent half power (which is what
you were getting at with the 200 - 100 mW issue).

Simple example:  15 dBm = 31.623 mW, 12 dBm = 15.829 mW (indeed, 3 dB
down is half power on a linear scale).  3 dBm, however is 1.995 mW.
Subtracting 3 dBm from 15 dBm would then give you 14.72 dBm (29.628
mW).  Not obvious?  Yes.  Important?  Definitely.


While I'm at it an OT(?) question:
Does somebody know how to _simply_ (using a multimeter or an old
20MHz scope) measure the power output of a wireless NIC? Just a rough
(+-10mW) estimate would suffice. The antennae are external so I have
access to the SMA. Then I could measure the mapping myself.


To simply answer, no.  You cannot absolutely measure transmitted RF
power without a calibrated receiver of some sort (e.g. a commercial RF
power meter... see Agilent), two antennas with known directivity
patterns and known efficiencies, and/or a 2D motorized az/el stage
such that you can easily rotate one of the two antennas and integrate
the received power.

If you have, however, two known antennas with known gains (say,
Hyperlink patch antennas), and you know - or can estimate - the
insertion loss in the cables and coax connectors, and a second
wireless NIC with software you believe is giving you approximate
values of received power, you can use the Friis equation to find the
transmitted power.  This will put you within 10 dBm/mW easily.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friis_Transmission_Equation

Any other questions related to this I can answer off-list.

Cheers,
Charles



ClamAV compile fails

2006-07-24 Thread Charles Farinella
Hi,

I have an OpenBSD 3.8 mail server running Postfix, amavisd-new,
SpamAssassin and ClamAV.  

ClamAV was installed via ports ( I think ) and is version .88.  I am
trying to upgrade it to version .88.3.  I cannot get it to build from
source code.  I found what I thought to be exactly my problem at
flakshak.com:

===
1.1 ClamAV 0.88.3 Compilation Issues on OpenBSD 3.9

ClamAV fails to compile from the source codesnip.

In order to fix this, you must edit the Configure script (before running
./configure) and find the OpenBSD section.

Open up configure with your favorite editor, and search for openbsd* and
find a line that looks like LIBCLAMAV_LIBS=$LIBCLAMAV_LIBS -pthread

Replace all -pthread with -lpthread and Viola!

I did this but still get this result from 'make':

 Try running newsyslog by hand, and include the '-v' option,
 so you get a more verbose output of what it thinks is going
 on.  That might be helpful.

It seems to be ignoring the log in question.

Re: Sun SMP Hardware [was RE: Version 4.0 release ]

I've gotten a few replies with people interested in
parting with E450s, 250s, 280s, and 220s (I have an
Ultra 2 to throw onto the pile, for what its worth).
So far, every reply has been, It's yours if you pay
to ship it.

If any devs would find any of these useful, or know of
a dev who would find them useful, please let me know.
I'm happy to get this rolling--either by myself or

Count me in; I will help pay shipping as well.



More donations for hardware

2006-11-07 Thread Charles Dietlein

Good day misc@,

Seeing as how quickly kettenis@ received a second Blade 1k after the
donations request a few weeks back, I thought we should try it again.
Of personal interest to me are the following: GPS for timing
(mbalmer@), and GSM/GPRS (jolan@)  HSDPA/UMTS (fkr@) device support.

If anyone is interested in helping with one or more of these areas,
remember, it only takes a little money from a few people to buy
hardware.  Please contact me off-list regarding rough donation amount
and area of interest so I can see which one(s) of these we can take
off of want.html and get the developers the hardware they need.  After
a few days I'll reply to you and let you know what the consensus is,
and how/where to put your money so it's used for the correct purchase.
I have already selected devices in each of these categories and know
the approximate costs (75-200 EUR/USD ea. depending on category).
I'll chip in 50 EUR/USD to the categories which receive most interest.
Let's do it!

Best regards,
Charles



yacc rebuild

2008-07-10 Thread Charles Smith
Good afternoon!

So, before the next make build I must rebuild the yacc alone.
I would like to know how can I rebuild yacc.
I searched in old errata patches, Makefiles, bsd.*.mk files.
In my previous logfile (2008.07.07/src_make_build) I see, that by
yacc the make cleandir is used:
rm -f yacc.cat1 ...
rm -f .depend ...tags

So is this correct?
cd usr.bin/yacc
make obj
make cleandir
make depend
make
make install

In general, how can I ascertain, what kind of make Phony Targets must
I use?
I didn't read through the whole stuff (docs, all Makefiles, etc) yet,
so I rejoice at a link too.

Thank You!



neomagic and the needs-update entries

2008-07-12 Thread Charles Smith
Good afternoon!

In xenocara/MODULES file a needs-update entry, eg by neomagic,
can provoke errors, like PR pending/5836 [0]?
The PR in short:
  On i386 ThinkPad 600X (NeoMagic 256ZX NM2360) doesn't work 
  WindowMaker since 2008.04.10 (or before too, that was my first test
  after 4.3 RELEASE branch fork.)
  With 4.3 RELEASE works.
  The very odd thing: cwm, fvwm; and icewm from ports work.
  All application works, that I use.
  WindowMaker didn't change since 2007.09.15.


After branch fork in xenocara/MODULES file the neomagic has been

 Good afternoon!
 
 In xenocara/MODULES file a needs-update entry,
 eg by neomagic,
 can provoke errors, like PR pending/5836 [0]?
 The PR in short:
   On i386 ThinkPad 600X (NeoMagic 256ZX NM2360) doesn't
 work 
   WindowMaker since 2008.04.10 (or before too, that was my
 first test
   after 4.3 RELEASE branch fork.)
   With 4.3 RELEASE works.
   The very odd thing: cwm, fvwm; and icewm from ports work.
   All application works, that I use.
   WindowMaker didn't change since 2007.09.15.
 
 
 After branch fork in xenocara/MODULES file the neomagic has
 been
 updated two times:
 on 2008.03.19 from 1.1.1 to 1.2.0 and on 2008.05.21 to

pf examples needed

2007-01-16 Thread Charles Farinella

I have an OpenBSD 3.9 machine with a public IP providing NAT and
firewalling for our internal network.  It has 3 interfaces:

dc0: public ip from internet X.X.X.25
dc1: 192.168.100.x to internal network.  This works well.
dc2: 192.168.200.x -- to Windows server.

I need to allow public access to the Windows server connected to dc2
(one port only).  Currently I have a private network address assigned to
dc2 and a public one (X.X.X.26) assigned to the machine connected to it.

I need to know how to access the X.X.X.26 machine from the internet.  My
attempts at redirecting with pf rules haven't been successful so far,
and I'm not sure that's how I should be approaching it.

I've been playing with this for a few days, and am kind of lost, so any
advice, pointers to docs, examples, etc. would be very much appreciated.

thanks,

You should put a private 192.168.200.x IP address on the Windows box,
not a global X.X.X.26 address. Afterwards, do a simple port forwarding
(redirection in pf language) at the OpenBSD box, e.g.


I currently have it set up like this:

dc0 = X.X.X.25
dc2 = 192.168.200.254
test_box = 192.168.25.123
services = { ssh, smtp, http, https }

I have the following in my pf.conf:
rdr pass on dc0 proto tcp from any to X.X.X.25 port 80 - 192.168.25.122 
port 80


If I ssh into the X.X.X.25 box I can access the test_box on port 80.  I 
cannot access X.X.X.25 port 80 however.


I've been using pfctl -f /etc/pf.conf to reload my rules.  I see no 
reference in my pflog to any attempts to access port 80 on X.X.X.25.




Remember to set up a default route on the Windows box (it should of
course use the OpenBSD box as its default route).

 I think it would be useful in two points:
 
 * helps to OpenBSD community to choose the right hardware
 * make good or bad publicity depending on real vendor's position
 
 Anyway it's only an idea.

minor bump is src/.../shlib_version

2009-10-27 Thread Charles Smith
Good afternoon!

When there is a major bump in src/.../shlib_version files,
snapshots sets must be correspond with snapshots packages.
For example:
src/lib/libkrb5/shlib_version
src/gnu/lib/libiberty/shlib_version
src/lib/libc/shlib_version
src/lib/libm/shlib_version
 
Maybe with minor bump too?

At UTC 2009.06.26 21:06 and 21:09 there was minor bump in 
src/lib/libc/shlib_version and
src/lib/libm/shlib_version.

i386 packages are from 2009.10.26 beforenoon.

Philip Guenther


Sure, sorry for fault.
Of course I read the sources-changes@ maillist among others.
This is the sole place, where from what i hear about major bumps.
In most times i remember, but yesterday i forgot and so pkg_add -ui failed.
Besides forgetfulness it can be missing time to read sources-changes@, so bad 
timing to upgrade.
Together with sloppy reading the commit log messages.

Is this would redundancy? Not practical?
I thought maybe some people can more easily review/look back faq/current.html, 
which is more short,
than the lot of mails on sources-changes@ without informative subjects.
pkg_add -ui fail is enough practical.
Yes, so current.html grows fat, and at 4.8 release must remove these notes. 
This is drawback.
How many major bumps are yearly? 4-6?

Of course yours decision.

Re: major bump note in faq/current.html

2010-05-28 Thread Charles Smith
Nowadays I'm using snapshots, but it can be current also, it is imo unimportant 
within aspect.
Sometimes, seldom, I see on sources-changes@ major bumps.
I mark the precise date, when the major bump happened.
At the next upgrade i pay big attention that my base system must correspond 
with snapshots packages.
Not newer, not older, but accurately identical.
I accomplish my upgrade only when the prebuilt packages get ready (after the 
marked date, with new major).
I wouldn't undertake to build from ports my all (or some) installed packages. 

This was the very first occasion, that i forgot about major bump, and after the 
unguarded upgrade 
pkg_add -ui of course told it, because the prebuilt packages was made with the 
old major base system.

My starting point was 05.12 base system, packages 05.13 or 05.20.
Major bump happened at 05.21 and 05.26.
My end point 05.27 base system and 05.25 packages: conflict because the 
intermediate major bump (05.26).

If no claim seperate noting major bumps, I accept and solve, and we forget the 
idea. No problem.
Or I'm misunderstanding something?
Thank you for the nice answers.

  Can we ask in the future something similar at src/*/shlib_version major 
  bumps?
 

 to avoid ``pkg_add -u'' complaining about bad
 major/minor I do the following:

 - check that my mirror is up to date
 ie ``ls'' to make sure all files belong 
 to the same snap

you mean: all files=${mirror}/pub/OpenBSD/snapshots/${arch}/* ?
You don't care comparing the 3 date (major bump, base sets, packages)?

 - update to base (using the installer or just
 reboot and untar base file sets)
Yes.


 - apply changes in current.html
Yes + sysmerge -s etc47.tgz, sysmerge -x xetc47.tgz


 - pkg_add -ui

 this should always work and you don't have to care about
 bumps.

Always or almost always? It doesn't depends on major bump?
Major bumps are infrequent, but sometimes happen.

Strange line in the routing table after carp failover?

2007-11-15 Thread Charles Price
Hi,

I have a pair of routers running OpenBSD 4.2 release, each with four ethernet 
interfaces (fxp0, fxp1, fxp2, fxp3) and carp on all four interfaces. fxp0 and 
fxp1 are /30 networks over which I run BGP sessions to our upstream 
providers.

Router A is the primary machine with advskew 0 and Router B is the backup 
machine with advskew 50.

When I unplug an ethernet connection on Router A to simulate a failure, all of 
the carp interfaces become MASTER and the BGP sessions are re-established, as 
expected. However, I am experiencing some strange behaviour.

When the backup router is active, traffic destined for the Internet (through 
the BGP peers) doesn't reach it's destination and ICMP TTL expired messages 
are received back from Router B. Looking at the routing table, the following 
line appears on Router B when it becomes carp MASTER:

Destination Gateway Flags   RefsUse 
Mtu Interface
80.x.y.154  00:00:5e:00:01:01   UHLc1   2   
-   lo0

This entry does not appear on Router A when it is in operation (and routing 
traffic correctly). Could this interesting-looking router be something 
associated with the routing loop I'm seeing?

I appreciate that I may not have provided enough information for a correct 
diagnosis of the problem. I will be happy to provide more details on request.

Many Thanks,

Charlie



Re: Strange line in the routing table after carp failover?

2007-12-10 Thread Charles Price
I've been looking into this some more. Are there any issues which 
CARP/OpenBGPd when machines in the CARP group do not have an IP address of 
their own - ie. they have only a shared CARP address?

I find that in this situation, when the CARP master fails the backup router 
correctly becomes master and re-establishes BGP sessions. However, the CARP 
shared IP address appears in the routing/arp table bound to the localhost 
interface. This creates a really nasty routing loop.

'route -n show -inet' gives this line:
DestGateway Flags  Refs  Use  Mtu Interface
80.x.y.154   00:00:5e:00:01:01  UHLc  1   2  -lo0

If I assign each router an IP address in addition to the CARP shared address, 
this problem does not appear.

Thanks,

Charlie

Re: Server

2013-03-13 Thread Charles Rapenne
Hello,

It will depend what you want to do with your server.

Firstly, I suggest you to remove your graphic card if you can. It will
make noise and heat for nothing and will increase your power
consumption.
If you need a simple home server, to store/share files on your
network, set-up your owncloud and/or run a database for personal
developments, I think your hardware is good.

I can't say if OpenBSD is the best system for your use as we don't
know your use. OpenBSD can run a database (postgresql, mysql, redis,
mongo..), but the performance will depend of your workload.

Best regards,

Usually an idle temperature is under 65°C with fan not at maximum

problably something wrong with your cooling system.

The temperatures you show are normal.

 hw.sensors.adt0.temp1=38.00 degC (Internal)
 hw.sensors.adt0.temp2=52.00 degC (Remote)

with chroot is useful when dealing with proxy_pass or fastcgi
application.
If your RoR app is compromised, it won't be chrooted as it's not
running in a chroot. All nginx will do is serving static files.

 Hi,

 Is anybody here running Ruby on Rails in the chrooted nginx(8) and know if 
 it's worth the hassle?

 I notice the docs saying: Some applications are pretty simple, and 
 chroot(2)ing them makes sense. Others are very complex, and are either not 
 worth the effort of forcing them into a chroot(2), or by the time you copy 
 enough of the system into the chroot, you have lost the benefit of the 
 chroot(2) environment. -- http://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq10.html#httpdchroot

Hi everyone.

The OpenBSD project uses a lot of electricity for running the
development and build machines.  A number of logistical reasons
prevents us from moving the machines to another location which might
offer space/power for free, so let's not allow the conversation to go
that way.

We are looking for a Canadian company who will take on our electrical
expenses -- on their books, rather than on our books.  We would be
happiest to find someone who will do this on an annual recurring
basis.

That way the various OpenBSD efforts can be supported, yet written off
as an off-site operations cost by such a company.  If we reduce this
cost, it will leave more money for other parts of the project.

We think that a Canadian company is the best choice for accounting
reasons.  If a company in some other jurisdiction feels they can also
do this successfully, we'd be very happy to hear from them as well.

I am not going to disclose the actual numbers here.  Please contact me
for details if serious.

Thanks.



Hello,

I think this could be great if OpenBSD had somewhere on their website a 
goal/objectif about the money to rise, and the % of advancement of it. 
The FreeBSD Foundation is doing this, I think this is very effective as 
you know if they really lack some founds or if they are near their 
objective.


I tried this method for one little project of mine involving some costs 
(~ 400 € / year), after yelling every year please give some money, this 
doesn't run for free... I put a visual show of my needs, then I got 40% 
of my funds the day I put the advancement image of the fundraising.



Thank you everyone for doing what you do for OpenBSD :)

Re: unreliable connections

Do you rsync directly to an ip address or are you using avec domain name

The DNS server you use may have some problems during the night.
If you don't use a domain name, this can't be this. If you use one, you
can add it to /etc/hosts to by-pass it. If this continue to fail, the
problem is elsewhere.

network roaming convenience

2014-07-17 Thread Charles Musser
Hi,

I'm looking to create or cobble together functionality that automates
network connections as a user roams around with a laptop. The idea is
to respond to changing network availability: wifi network is known, so
connect, or cable was plugged in, or connect for the first time and
remember, etc).

On Linux, this is provided by program called NetworkManager. I'm
pretty sure it's are Linux-specific and, anyway, it depends
on DBus (a separate messaging system). I was hoping to create
something a little more self contained. I did explore a couple
of avenues.

One was the wiconfig script mentioned on Undeadly a while
back. This didn't connect, seemingly because it tried to use WEP, not
WPA. I didn't want to debug a shell script to find out why.

Another possibility is using ifstated. However it looks like WiFi
interfaces are always up, even in the no network state, so it's
unclear whether the required state transitions would actually happen
But I haven't verified that, so I can't dismiss this as a solution.

An argument could be made that this is of marginal utilty. How hard is
it to use ifconfig, anyway? But I figured it might be an interesting
exercise and may be a nice convenience. Any advice, or discussion
would be appreciated.

Chuck

Out of curiosity, what happens? Does this mean you’re flying blind
when you parachute in somewhere and want to know what wi-fi networks
are around?

On my machine, which uses iwn, “ifconfig scan” does work, but there is
an odd behavior that wiconfig happens to trigger, at least in my
environment.  Configuring the interface for WPA manually (or via
hostname.if) works fine, but I had trouble with wiconfig until I
increased its connect timeout value.  This was due to an odd set of
circumstances.

wiconfig attempts to configure the interface with WPA, waits for a bit
and, if the connection isn’t successful, tries again with WEP. My
machine doesn'tt connect within the wiconfig's 3 second timeout
interval, and then things get weird. After the second connection
attempt (with WEP, using the “nwkey” param), the connect fails again
(my AP only does WPA). After this, the interface cannot connect
successfully with WPA until after a reboot.

I first noticed this behavior with wiconfig and determined what it was
doing specifically with help from wiconfig’s author. To
confirm what was going on, I issued the same sequence of “ifconfig”
invocations manually.  Sure enough, an ifconfig with the nwkey
parameter was a buzzkill: it prevented connection with a subsequent
“ifconfig” invocation: one that certainly works if it is the first
ifconfig that happens. This is certainly a corner case, but it did
trip me up.

Yeah, that is interesting. I didn’t really notice it before, but
“scan” doesn’t return anything if I’m connected to my network, but the
act of doing it changes the status from “active” to “no network”. Then
it returns a list if invoked again. I thought I might run “scan”
periodically to check connectivity, but the act of doing so seems to
knock me off the air. A related wrinkle is that the status never
changes to “no network” if the AP is powered off. So you can’t check
actively (with “scan” anyway) and you can’t be informed passively if
you’ve moved out of range. Darn. About the only thing I noticed was that
the “mode” listed in the media line changes. Not sure that’s actually
indicative of anything


 While I don't dispute that this behaviour is a bug, it doesn't seem
 right for the script to be doing this, surely if you know the password
 you should also know if wep is needed? It would seem safer generally
 to only use the expected protocol.
True. wiconfig’s author is open to changing how this
works. Apparently, in an upcoming OBSD release, ifconfig will display
the security offered by the AP.


 Do you need a full reboot at this point, or does restarting the interface
 (ifconfig down+up) work? Do you get anything interesting (look in
 /var/log/messages) if ifconfig iwn0 debug is set?
Turns out, no. What I needed to do was clear the WEP key (by using the
“-nwkey parameter) and then the interface was usable. A subsequent
ifconfig with “wpakey” specified got me connected.



Re: Package installation

2014-08-02 Thread Charles Musser
The need for multiple versions of an application on one machine
doesn't manifest that often. Asking the system to tie itself into
knots for this purpose is likely to result in bloat, convolution and
less reliability.

Some contexts support and indeed encourage the notion of many
versions. For instance, the Ruby Version Manager (RVM) allows
different versions of the Ruby interpreter and its attendant libraries
to be in use at a given time. It seems to work perfectly well, but one
has to wonder if this is really a good thing. Do you really want the
mental overload that results from having to deal with multiple
versions of a language, library, API, user tool, or whatever?

The original poster might want to consider whether this kind of thing
is necessary or desirable. It sounds symptomatic of half-baked ideas
about what needs to be accomplished and how to accomplish it. Also
worth considering is OpenBSD's stance on how to maintain a system. You
are encouraged to refresh the system at six month intervals and, in so
doing, become familiar with the nature of the software you're
running. Chances are, the version they've packaged works well enough,
probably better than older incarnations.

Incidentally, you can learn what files comprise a package with:

pkg_info -L package-name

You can learn about the package related commands by typing:

apropos pkg_

And then reading the listed manpages. As always with OpenBSD, these
documents are of high quality.

 Hi, there,
 
 I wanted to run something by you, mkay. About package management. I wonder
 if this has been shouted at already. I remember from SunOS that packages

 installed in a different manner than let's say Red Hat and of course
 OpenBSD. They install it in the form /pkgs/PROGRAM/VERSION, example
 /pkgs/gimp/1.0. GoboLinux does this. I think this has some advantages over
 installing /usr/local/bin/gimp1.1 and /usr/local/bin/gimp2.0. What do you
 think? What have you said?
 
 Ready to be shouted at;
 This puts more strain on the file system actually, which is probably
 the main reason we don't do it. Also, there is generally a lot of churning
 to do to make the package self-contained.
 
 As far as policy goes, having stuff set up like that looks more flexible, 
 but
 it is a fallacy. Instead of having the distribution solve issues concerning
 incompatible versions and updates, the toll falls instead on the individual
 sysadmin, to make sure things they have work together. It can lead to
 security nightmares, because it's so simple to have the newer version
 alongside the old version that sticky points of updating take much longer
 to resolve.
 
 It's a bit like having mitigation measures that you can turn on and off...
 if it's possible to turn these off, there's not enough incentive to actually
 fix issues.
 
 Likewise for packages. By making it somewhat LESS convenient to install
 several versions of the same piece of software, we make it more important
 to do timely updates.
 
 Also, we don't have the manpower to properly manage lots of distinct 
 versions
 of the same software. So  this kind of setup would be detrimental to
 actually testing stuff.
 I guess there could be both. But I think that if there's a security issue 
 with one version of a software then there quite possibly are multiple ways 
 of limiting the impact of that issue. Disallowing multiple versions to force 
 people to upgrade is not really a good reason, from how I see it. Old 
 software will always have more holes, because they're older and more well 
 observed, but they have qualities, too, like speed. GIMP-1.0 is amazing on 
 Lenovo X41 from 2005, but probably has bugs. Of course none of these systems 
 will stop someone who wants to run version x of a software. Maybe something 
 entirely different is needed? Okay, maybe I should complain about the status 
 quo... thing is when packages install in /var, /usr, /etc and /opt they're 
 so spread out it's hard to know what is what. This might be because I'm new 
 but/and scripts can find orphan files in this structures, but you need the 
 scripts for that. Having everything in /pkgs/PKG/VER would not cause this 
 splatter. P!
 rograms without dependees (i.e. non-libs, non-utilprograms) could fit in this 
structure without any extra filesystem magic. Well, the grass is always greener.
 
 BTW, you create multiple versions by your mere existence. There are lots of 
 old versions laying around, but they can't be installed together right now.

ifconfig command for IPv6 tunnel

2014-08-19 Thread Charles Musser
Hi,

I'm experimenting with using IPv6 via a tunnel broker provided by an
ISP. The tunnel works, but I want to confirm my understanding of the
commands they gave me to set it up. These are the commands:

ifconfig gif0 tunnel 50.1.94.112 72.52.104.74
ifconfig gif0 inet6 alias 2001:470:1f04:204::2 2001:470:1f04:204::1 prefixlen 
128
route -n add -inet6 default 2001:470:1f04:204::1

The first and third commands make sense to me; they set up an IPv4
tunnel interface and a default route for IPv6. After reading the
ifconfig(8) man page) I think I sort of understand what the second one
does. Side note: the two IPv6 addresses provided by the tunnel
broker are defined, in their terminology, as follows: prefix::1 is
the server IPv6 address and prefix::2 is the client IPv6
address. Given that, I think the following is true:

- prefix::1 is the local address of the interface on the IPv6
  network.

- The alias parameter is superfluous in this case. I tried it without
  that and got the same result: an operating tunnel.

- Because gif0 is a point-to-point interface, prefix::2 (the
  server IP) is interpreted as the dest_address parameter mentioned
  in the ifconfig(8) man page.

- dest_address is the far end of the tunnel and, for point-to-point
  links, serves as the gateway. In this case, it leads to the broader
  IPv6 universe.

Any confirmation, clarification or correction is much appreciated.

 IIRC from my experimentation, you've got it exactly right.
 Some tunnel brokers give you subnet masks that certain versions of OpenBSD 
 don't like - that turns out to not actually matter, just use whatever 
 ifconfig(8) want.  Point in case: HE recommends using /64 for PtP links, but 
 OpenBSD 5.x requires /128.  Since HE allocates an entire /64 per tunnel, 
 there is no danger in configuring it more narrowly on the client end.

Thanks for the info. As it happens, I am also using a tunnel provided by HE.
 
 The hostname.if(5) syntax that finally worked for me on 5.4-RELEASE was 
 (slightly anonymized)
 description HE_TUNNEL_FREMONT
 tunnel 184.70.48.XXX
 dest 64.71.128.83
 inet6 2001:470::X::2
 dest 2001:470::X::1 prefixlen 128
 which perhaps adds some clarity, or perhaps confuses, depending on your point 
 of view.  I can't remember whether (in the non-BGP case) I added the route 
 command as !route -n add -inet6 default 2001:470:1f04:204::1 to the 
 hostname.gif0 file, or if I added it to /etc/mygate - one or the other should 
 work, anyway.
I haven't gotten to the point of making this configuration permanent, but the 
example above makes sense. My initial effort is toward a larger goal of getting 
a small network of pure IPv6 hosts connected. My current thinking on how to do 
this is (in admittedly vague and incomplete terms) is: use a machine connected 
to the tunnel broker as a bridge. Other machines would connect to it and 
perform address auto configuration, using the prefix of the HE provided 
network. To accomplish this, the bridge machine would run the daemon that hands 
out these prefixes, which I think is called rtadvd Comments on this approach 
(or alternatives) are welcome.

Finally, is this the place to discuss these kinds of network setup puzzles? I 
happen to be using OpenBSD, but this kind of task really is at the intersection 
of operating system specifics and the more general practice of network design.

 Basically, yes.  Although you have a router (does things with IP packets), 
 not a bridge (does things with Ethernet frames) - that's a huge difference.
 I don't think I've ever relied on address autoconfig - it looks very nice in 
 theory but has some limitations in practice.  I would test everything using 
 static IPs and static routes first, and then move on to rtadvd.
 
 HE assigns two blocks of addresses with every tunnel - the point-to-point 
 tunnel addresses and the Routed IPv6 Prefixes.
 You want to use the IPv6 Tunnel Endpoints on the gif0 tunnel, which is 
 presumably built on top of $external_if , and you want to use the Routed IPv6 
 Prefixes on $internal_if.  Note that is perfectly valid to have public IPv6 
 addresses running on the same subnet as private (RFC1918) IPv4 addresses - 
 IPv4 traffic gets NAT'd, IPv6 traffic merely gets routed.

rtadvd: Yes, one thing at a time. Static IPs first.

router vs. bridge: good point. Because I those routed IPv6 Prefixes are 
available, there are two networks in play, so it's routing and not bridging. I 
was initially operating under the assumption that there was one network for 
both the tunnel endpoint and the other hosts, so I thought bridge!. But that 
isn't the case.
 
 Do beware that your pf ruleset must pass IPv6 traffic without NAT'ing it... I 
 think this is the default now, not sure.
This, I will have to dig into. I wasn't aware that PF was enabled. But I 
suspect you can't get very far in these setups without it. Another responder 
provided some PF rules to try, so I can study those.

 If it works, ifconfig is being smart, but why not make your intent
 explicit? The tunnel is across the ip4 addresses; this command adds
 aliases, or close enough.
Stated another way: the alias keyword doesn't do any harm here, but
using it makes things harder to understand because this isn't actually an
alias; it's a local address and a remote address and this pair comprises
the endpoints of a point-to-point link.
 

 It's ambiguous when you write the server IP because the remote end
 of the tunnel is a server, and if you're configuring a router rather
 than a host then that's a server too. Addr *:2 is local in that it's
 an address of your gif(4) interface.  The ifconfig(8) synopsis is
 simpler than gif configuration, but yes *::2 is like dest_address.
Just to clarify, this setup is currently a host, not a router. Given all that,
::2 is the local address and ::1 is remote. Doesn't that make ::1 the
dest_address?

Note: possible beating of dead horse here. Feel free to say: stop
obsessing over the syntax of this command, dummy.

 
 Addr *::1 is remote. Try 'netstat -nvrf inet6 | grep 2001:' and find
 that *::1 has the G (gateway) flag, and host *::2 has a route to *::1.

  0 - 4 lo0 

This is different than what you describe, but it makes sense. I think.
 
 Also look at something using the interface, maybe ntpd. Look at the
 address with 'netstat -nvf inet6 | grep 123' (no -r there), and
 see that *::2 is local.

This seems to confirm what you said. The local endpoint is indeed *::2.

 This is different than what you describe, but it makes sense. I think.
 
 Is it different?  Your output shows what I intended to describe.
 Line 1 with G flag shows that 'gateway' addr *::1 is default route
 and line 2 with H flag shows 'host' addr *::2 has/is a route to *::1
 (didn't I suggest that clearly on my 1st coffee? I think I did).
Upon reflection, it does match what you said. My coffee consumption, or
lack thereof, influenced my comprehension here.
 
 
 Looks good.  Since this is a host never mind rtadvd (I had mentioned
 that).  You'll want to handle IPv6 in pf generally.  Since you
 didn't mention it I suppose you're not strictly firewalling; you
 would have mentioned allowing proto 41 for the ip4 remote endpoint
 or maybe you've got that all set.
I don't now, but that's the goal. At this point, I need to forage for some
hardware to try building a router. I had a perfectly good beige box with
numerous interfaces that I threw out recently. Party foul. Once I get
that, then I probably will have PF-specific questions.



addresses and routes configured via rtsol

2014-09-01 Thread Charles Musser
I set up a small network in which an OpenBSD machine serves as a
router for a collection of IPv6-only clients. Many thanks to previous
responders to my questions on tunneling with gif(4). This rudimentary
setup is working well: a client machine acquires an address via SLAAC
and can access the IPv6 Internet. I am curious, however, about the
addresses and routes that get installed on the client machine.

The setup straightforward. The router is connected to an IPv6 tunnel
on the Internet-facing side (using a gif(4) interface), it has IPv6
forwarding enabled, and is running rtadvd on the inward-facing
interface. Note that rtadvd is using its internal defaults; I didn't
create a configuration file for it because the man page

The interface info and routing table is at the end of this mail and
I've annotated lines of interest with numbers in brackets so that
referencing these entries in questions would be clearer. The questions
are:

1.) In addition to the self-assigned link-local address, the client's
interface has two other addresses, both having the network prefix
supplied by the router (annotation [1]). One has the same suffix as
that of the link-local address. The other, marked autoconfprivacy,
is different and changes periodically (certainly on every reboot). I
assume this address is formed with the rules defined in RFC 4941. As I
interpret it, the RFC suggests a scheme that employs different
addresses for server-oriented tasks and client-oriented tasks. The
idea is that a predicable address is suitable for the former, while a
randomized one is for the latter. Is that what's happening here?
According to netstat(1), this seems to be the case. While surfing the
web, the local address always seems to be the one with the
autoconfprivacy attribute. Is rtsol(8) in charge of implementing this
policy?

2.) A corollary to the above question is how the privacy address
gets used for outbound connections. My assumption of how interfaces
with multiple addresses behave is this: the interface will accept
connections for any address it has been assigned, but will use the
canonical one for connections that are initiated through that
interface. Is this correct? Does IPv6 have the notion of aliases at
all? If it does, how do you know which one is the canonical
address. If not, how do outbound connection end up with the correct,
i.e. private, local address?

3.) The default route (annotation [2]) mystified me at first, before I
realized that the gateway address was the link-local address of the
router. I was aware of link-local addresses in IPv6, but I was unsure
of their application and didn't expect them to come into play here. I
expected the gateway to be the IPv6 address I assigned to the router's
inward facing interface. It seems logical that the router's link-local
address works, but why was it chosen?

4.) The /64 network route for my network has the gateway specified as
link#1 (annotation [3]). What are the link family of interfaces?
These must be different than routes that specify one of the link-layer
addresses, but how?

Thanks,

Chuck

LACP problem

2017-06-08 Thread Charles Lecklider
I'm trying to get LACP working over 2 ports (em0, em1). I've done this
successfully with FreeBSD and 4 ports on the same switch so I know it
can be done, I just can't get it working with OpenBSD. I'm hoping I've
just botched the config somewhere.

The switch is a TP-LINK TL-SG3424, latest firmware available, and LACP
is set to passive for the two ports (I've tried active, too).

hostname.em0:
mtu 9000 up

hostname,em1:
mtu 9000 up

hostname.trunk0:
trunkport em0 trunkport em1 trunkproto lacp
inet 10.1.2.1 255.255.255.0 NONE


>From my reading of the man pages that's all I need to do, and ifconfig
seems to agree:

em0: flags=8b43
mtu 9000
lladdr 0c:c4:7a:d9:ea:d0

trunkport em0 active,collecting,distributing
groups: trunk
media: Ethernet autoselect
status: active
inet 10.1.2.1 netmask 0xff00 broadcast 10.1.2.255


The trunk is there, seems to be configured the right way, but the second
port doesn't come up. If I pull the cable on em0, em1 comes up, put the
cable back, em0 doesn't join the trunk.


Have I botched the config somewhere? Or is there some incompatibility
going on between OpenBSD and the switch? And if it's the latter, how do
I get some diagnostic information to work out what's going on?

Thanks!

That's turning into a bit of a mission

Seems TP-LINK don't set an enable password by default so I can't get
what I need via ssh until I've set that. To set it I need to connect to
the console port, which means finding the cable and a serial-to-USB adapter.
I have all the above (somewhere), it's just going to take some time.

Is there no other diagnostic information I can get from the OpenBSD side?

OK, that sounds like an even deeper rabbit-hole.

Fair question: via the web UI. That would imply it's not just a
front-end for the CLI, which implies another set of potential security
issues. Not an issue for this network, but certainly something to
consider in future.

l2tp and openbsd 6.1

1)  Can you have more than one ike line in ipsec.conf? from my presumption 
of looking at sites on the internet, you can, however, I am not sure.

https://www.authbsd.com/blog/?p=20 makes it seem like you can, unless it is 
just two examples


2)  Every time I read a site that says, "this configuration worked for me 
on android", it doesn't work for me. I presume it is my lack of understanding, 
though, I'm not ruling out the possible android bug.


I appreciate any help.

and still no luck. I found out that Android 8 will connect (using aes).   I am 
dumpping pflog0 and seeing no blocks. However, that doesn't mean it still isn't 
a potential pf problem I guess. However, if IOS and android 8 would connect, I 
would think that would rule a pf problem? 

Is there a way to turn on additional debugging?  I'm using isakmpd -K in 
rc.conf.local, so not using isakmpd.policy/.conf  (from my understanding) 
Everything in /var/log/messages is just from npppd. Unless I'm reading it 
wrong, there doesn't appear to be any errors.

Re: l2tp and openbsd 6.1

2017-10-04 Thread Charles Amstutz
Yes,

I would like to know this as well, it seems annoying that Android 8/4.x  and 
IOS can connect, but not windows 10 (I haven't tried earlier windows 10)  and 
android 7.

Its either a user error (which I am willing to admit) or something very 
annoying. Especially when my l2tp PSK windows server can accept connections 
from anything it seems. 

I would like to get this figured out. 

I appreciate all of the suggestions, but I still can't get android 7 to 
connect, no matter which encryption, authentication or modp I use.

Hi,
with l2tp I have situation when iOS  and Android devices could connect but 
Windows 7 and Windows 10 couldn't.

Is it possible to adjust ipsec.conf somehow so it could accept connection from 
Windows clients too?
Or is there a way to adjust some settings in Windows so it will work with 
current ipsec.conf?

I also noticed that I have to add pass rule for tun0 to PF explicitly:
- pass on tun0 all
instead of having just:
- set skip on  { lo0, tun0 }

Pass in quick on pppx0 from pppx0  as it complains there is no IP.  Assigning

ThinkPad X220 Trackpoint Pointer Wheel Emulation Issues

2018-10-16 Thread Charles Daniels

First off, I'm new around here, so my apologies in advance if this is
the wrong list or I've formatted something incorrectly.

I've recently installed OpenBSD 6.3 on my Thinkpad X220. I'm happy to
report that almost everything seems to work the way it should
(suspend/resume, wireless, volume controls, etc.). However, I've been
having some difficulty with the TrackPoint.

The TrackPoint works fine as a pointing device, however the "WS
Pointer Wheel Emulation" emulation feature is not working. For those
unfamiliar, this allows the middle mouse button to be held down, and
while it is held, the TrackPoint can be used to scroll vertically or
horizontally.

After conducting some research, I have written the following script to
set the appropriate xinput properties to properly enable the pointer
wheel emulation functionality:

    #!/bin/sh

    xinput set-prop /dev/wsmouse "WS Pointer Wheel Emulation" 1
    xinput set-prop /dev/wsmouse "WS Pointer Wheel Emulation Button" 2
    xinput set-prop /dev/wsmouse "WS Pointer Wheel Emulation Axes" 6 7 4 5
    xinput set-prop /dev/wsmouse "WS Pointer Wheel Emulation Timeout" 500
    xinput set-prop /dev/wsmouse "WS Pointer Wheel Emulation Inertia" 20

I have tried many different variations on the input parameters.
One interesting behavior I have discovered is that if I set the
emulation axes to "4 5 0 0" then I can scroll up and down by moving
the track point left or right by holding the middle mouse button.
However, when I use "6 7 4 5" or "0 0 4 5", the up and down scrolling
generally does not work at all (occasionally jumping in the direction
the trackpoint was pushed).

I have spent several days troubleshooting this issue and haven't had
any luck. I think this may be a bug, but I wanted to see if anyone
else had similar issues and knew of a solution before submitting a bug
report. I am under the impression that this list does not permit
attachments, so I will refrain from attaching the full output of dmesg
and other long logs, but I will include the output of some
commands that I think might be relevant.

Finally, I tried digging into some of the source code for Xenocara and
the wsmouse drive. Unfortunately, my knowledge of OpenBSD and Xorg are
insufficient to draw any useful conclusions. However, I think the
following files may be relevant / a good starting point for someone
more knowledgeable than I:

* xenocara/driver/xf86-input-ws/include/ws-properties.h
* xenocara/driver/xf86-input-ws/src/emuwheel.c

I would really appreciate any suggestions to troubleshoot further.

Confirming that installing the new 6.4 release (which includes the
linked patch) fixes the issue.

For the sake of future Googlers or archive readers, this is all that
was required for me to get pointer wheel emulation working as it
should on the Thinkpad X220 under OpenBSD 6.4:

    xinput set-prop /dev/wsmouse "WS Pointer Wheel Emulation" 1

I think there is at least some aspect of software at play here however.
I did not experience these issues while running Debian 9 on the
machine. It could be that Linux uses some horrible hack to make suspend
work reliably, but it does nevertheless work.

I had intended to use suspend-to-disk with this machine, but I found
that applications that use hardware acceleration (namely Firefox) do
not function after resuming from suspend to disk. The specific symptom
is that the application's window is just black with no visible
contents. Restarting it does nothing. This is very likely a problem
with inteldrm. Disabling hardware acceleration in FF fixes the problem,
but makes it almost unusably slow.

I don't, but I had planned to throw Windows on a spare disk and see if
updating the firmware / BIOS / playing with the proprietary driver
helps or yields any useful information.

... Maybe I should look at running coreboot on the T430, since it's
supported now.

Thanks for your detailed response!



OpenBSD/landisk on J-core/J2 based systems?

2018-12-03 Thread Charles A Daniels

I'm curious to know if anyone involved with OpenBSD/landisk has any
comments on J-core[1]? It claims to implement SuperH and capability to
boot Linux on an FPGA.

To that end, has anyone tried booting OpenBSD/landisk on a J2 based
system?

One of my hobbies is obscure architectures, and OpenBSD/landisk seemed
like and interesting one; I stumbled across J-core while researching for
background on the SH-4 CPU. It seems like targeting (relatively) readily
available FPGA development boards would make SuperH compatible systems
much more accessible to those interested in the landisk port.

Thinkpad T430 random power off while sleeping

2018-12-04 Thread Charles A Daniels
Closing the lid on the T430 causes OpenBSD to suspend, as per my
setting for machdep.lidaction=1. This usually works as expected, but
occasionally I take my laptop out of my bag to find it sitting on the
xenodm login screen, not suspended, with the lid closed, having lost
power and rebooted at some point after being suspended.

I would like to collect further information so a bug report can be
filed, but I feel that the above description alone is insufficient to
constitute a useful bug report. To that end, I would like to solicit
advice on what information can be collected and what debugging steps
can be taken so that I can write a useful bug report.

I'm running the 6.4 release, and I have run fw_update and syspatch
periodically since install.

I previously asked for help on r/openbsd[1], but still have not been
able to either resolve the problem or gather sufficient information for
a bug report.

calmwm mouse stuck inside of window

2018-12-19 Thread Charles A Daniels
A slight issue I've noticed with calmwm (under OpenBSD 6.4) is that the
mouse can occasionally get "stuck" inside of a window, and can't be
moved out of it. This most often seems to occur with modal dialogs (in
particular, most of the configuration dialogs for graphics/ipe exhibit
this behavior, but I've seen it occur in other programs as well. The
specific symptom seems to be that moving the mouse beyond the edge of an
effected window causes it to "teleport" back to the exact center of the
window. Also, affected windows cannot be lowered by using the window-
cycle binding, as they immediate re-capture focus. However, the menu-
window binding can be used to search for another window and raise it,
and lowering the entire group of the effected group allows it to be
switched away from. 

I'm not sure if this is a bug or intended behavior, but if it is the
latter I feel there should be a config flag to disable it (I would be
willing to do the legwork if someone knowledgeable with CWM can guide
me).

I believe the issue lies in client.c in the fragments noted below, as
this is the only place that the mouse position seems to be modified.
That said, my xlib skills are not very good, and I haven't worked with
the CWM codebase before.

The actual problem that we are seeing is that OpenBSD is failing to create 
states for some network connections. Has anyone seen anything like this? At 
this point, it may not be a pf problem, but it is constant.

Questions about Carp / PF / PFSync

2019-01-31 Thread Charles Amstutz
Hello

We are running into an issue with a lot of dropped packets where states are 
failing to be created. We have noticed that it coincides with a fair amount of 
congestion, around 10-15/s according to 'pfctl -si'.

We finally tried disabling our Carp Interfaces (we are using carp for failover) 
and the problem seems to completely go away. We have 53 carp interfaces on 
these two boxes and are just looking for some input on what might be causing an 
issue like this, where having carp interfaces enabled is causing such high 
congestion.

We are running OpenBSD 6.4.

Thanks,

 it is or
   is not acceptable to commit changes that do not change functionality;
   when multiple changed must be batched in one commit; etc.  Right now
   it is difficult to sort the wheat from the chaff.  In addition, there
   must be standards of review.

I must repeat a point I've made earlier.  The current management of
the project is not going to either fix the project's problems, or lead
the project to solutions.  They are going to maintain the status quo,
and nothing else.  If the project is to rise from its charred stump,
this management must be disbanded and replaced wholesale.  Anything
less is a non-solution.

To some of you, I would like to apologize.  There *are* NetBSD
developers doing good work even now.  I'd like to particularly recognize
and thank those working on kernel locking and UVM problems; wireless
support (though I'm not sure what happened to my extensive set of rtw
bug fixes); Bluetooth; G5; and improved ARM support.  This is all good
stuff.  In the bigger picture, though, the project needs to do a lot
more.

 Bingo. Good point. This point is lost sometimes.
 
 I believe NetBSD has the proper philosophy in regards to the entire OS
 as well. I don't want apache built in, for instance.
 
 This is a silly definition (imho) which I first heard Stallman use, but 
 seems to be spreading.
 Every book on operating systems that I own, or have read, defines an 
 operating system as the kernel. Different applications, including even 
 shells, are not the operating system.
 
 But that's just my opinion, of course. But most of all, I don't see the 
 relevance of bringing the discussion down to a hair-splitting of what an 
 operating system is.

Actually, defining (poorly) the OS to include so much else has been a
liability for NetBSD in many ways.  It has massively slowed the adoption
of new software versions (e.g. GCC), for one.  It also contributed to
the perception that a better package system and automatic updates were
not a serious issue.

Sorry, but that's the core fallacy in your argument.  In many cases, there
are no functional, useful docs.  They just don't exist.  Certainly this
is a problem in itself.

Unfortunately, the documentation often isn't so hot either.  I'll
give you an example.  Even with both code and documentation from
Realtek, we still had to reverse engineer how some parts of the RTL8180
work.  And though it works now, our understanding is still incomplete.

It is far easier for a manufacturer to spew out a Windows driver
in-house, where they have direct access to the people who designed the
hardware, so this is what they do.  The Windows driver model is pretty
much designed around this approach.

What we really want is not just documentation, but support from their
engineers.  The Linux community is starting to get this in some places.

 Certainly it is. So why bother resorting to vendor-supplied drivers (OSS or
 blob) derived from originally piss-poor docs in the first place? If the docs
 are bad, then the results of those docs are derivatively worse as a result.

That's not actually true.  You're still using the fallacy that the
vendor driver is written based on the documentation -- but in fact there
are other inputs, like discussion with the hardware engineers.
Sometimes there are pieces you just can't get from the documentation,
because they're not there, but they are present in the driver.  In the
current climate, having both is almost always better than having only
one -- and certainly having the code is better than having nothing.

I'm not against harassing the hardware vendors to do better.
