Hello, list! :-)
After reading this list for several monthes with dedication and after
learning a lot from all of you, I've a strange problem myself now:
I'm following -current on an Apple Mac mini (GENERIC.MP with ACPI
enabled, dmesg below) and I transfer files with SCP and SFTP to this
Has anybody an idea what I could do to find the cause of this
disappearing /dev/null? Thank you in advance for your help!
Well, it doesn't disappear so much as having its permissions altered,
but I'm certain you are aware of that.
Are you sure it's OpenSSH? What other daemons are using to
I'll search in the direction of other deamons though. Thank you for the
hint!
If that doesn't turn up anything, could you post /etc/sshd_config? And,
perhaps, the result of ssh -vvv your.problematic.host?
Sure, posted below.
I tried to force the problem to show up with a *lot* of connection
The permissions of /dev/null change directly after (or maybe even
while) using SFTP, and not always.
It's not just permissions, it's no longer a character special (device)
file, it's a regular file. This usually happens when /dev/null is
deleted, and sooner or later something with root perms
Do a cat /dev/null when it is a regular file (as root, we can see the
permissions are tight).. The contents of the file may give a clue as to
the last process that (successfully) wrote to /dev/null.
I'll do that as soon as the problem shows up again, and I'll try to
force that, but if it stays
No, that tells you when the new /dev/null got created, not when the real
one got deleted (which may have been hours earlier).
Ah, I see. I've two cronjobs already installed and tested (I've two of
these machines, same hardware, same snapshot installed, one is far
away, the other one is local -
Well, it doesn't disappear so much as having its permissions altered,
but I'm certain you are aware of that.
The device also turned into a regular file. Maybe the content of the
null file gives a hint of what went wrong. Which files were you
copying and to which directory? scp -v might help to
So the solution is: Don't start mysql on the command line as system
user root or let mysql keep it's history whereever it wants (no
MYSQL_HISTFILE=/dev/null in .profile).
Just a little addition to that: I'll try my luck with a 2 MB RAM disk
instead of /dev/null just for the mysql history file

This is not true. At least it has been reported that the MacBook Pro

Very interesting devices, I made first tests with them, too.
if anyone else has gotten similar performance results i'd like to see them.
Yes, I had similar results. I had a MySQL database running on an

I propose that by default, the uniprocessor version of the kernel be
named bsd.up, and that the install process

run the mp kernel could arrange to change this link in their install
process (eg their install.site
bsd is UP, bsd.mp is MP. If you want to boot MP, boot bsd.mp.
That seems to be even easier than my additional kernel file (my other
posts in this thread). I'll try that with the next upgrade.
Tas.
/bsd (the kernal in use, whichever it is) is a copy of one of
them then, easy to identify by its file size. For me that's easier
than with a link.

In reading through the recent Intel Mac Mini thread, I'm confused by what
appears to OpenBSD's support? OpenBSD now supports EFI? Or is EFI have some
compatibility mode with the older BIOS standard?
It emulates a standard BIOS if it can't find Apple specific info on
any of the boot
In the case of modern Intel Macs, they have something called Boot Camp
that emulates the classic PC BIOS interrupts and services..
Um, no. EFI does that on its own, also with an empty or without a

I saw that someone made the Marvell Yukon NIC on an Intel Mac

Sorry to answer myself, but I've found a solution already, thanks to

is getting a Mac Mini
What is the status of the Mac Mini? I saw some messages and patches
regarding the mini flowing by a week or three ago but didn't own one
at that time so wasn't paying attention. Are the patches in CVS?
Yes, works really fine on my mini. :-) Last time I installed a

Yes, that should work if you can build the bsd.rd just like the bsd.mp

should work

No, building an ACPI enabled bsd.rd was quite easy. It took more tries
