Hello,
I am considering to set a Point of Sale (POS) solution for a small
business. Given the chance I'd like to use OpenBSD for it. It is
supposed to be very basic and the software would be a web application
running in a remote server. No pole screen or cash drawer support is
required.

That sounds cool.
I was considering a network printer, whit the POS here is not going to be
networked.
Out of curiosity, which printer it is that you are using?

If it is for your personal use only, you can have a look at the Opennic Project.
They have an alternate DNS structure separated for the regular DNS Root. They
provide Dynamic DNS for their .dyn unofficial TDL.
It is free of charge and you need no special client for it to work, only

Hello everybody.
I have been porting a stupid old program to OpenBSD. I hit a bit or a

is not clear enough regarding a couple of details.
Specifically: the man page does not provide a clear explanation of the

An option I can think about is downloading the upgrade kernel and

I dislike the idea.
For one, it does not stop a MITM by itself.
In addition, enforced encryption makes it hard to cache and/or use proper
http proxies with the site.

I dislike the idea.
An http->https redirect does not prevent a MITM by itself.
It also prevents the easy use of caching or proper proxies with the site.

Since interest in having this working is low I am

If anybody is willing to debug this problem further I

Hi there!
I am wondering how does people around here keep local branches of the ports

The reason I am asking is because I keep some patched ports which are suited
to solve my problems, but not suited (or useful) for submission to the

Personally, I'd just have your encrypted filesystem not listed in
/etc/fstab at all, since it can't be mounted without attaching the
softraid device manually anyway. Since the password is needed in every
case, just attach the softraid device with bioctl and mount the

No perfect solution exists, but the following may help.
1) Parse the logs of your web application and ban any IP that attempts
to create multiple accounts. Not great because you may have multiple
users sharing the same public IP. It only works ok if you automate it

chrootkit and rkhunter are also fine for detecting suspicious activity
