I have a problem with nfs and pf. When PF is on , then nfs not work. I put the hole for portmap and nfs in pf... but i think that the problem is in mountd, because mountd every time when I restart the server change his own port: # #rpcinfo -p mars

These units are really cheap. Just buy them. If they don't work, send them to us, and we'll try to improve support for the remaining ones. But skip the Keyspans, right? Heh. Yes, don't send us any non-free-requiring usb serial devices. They're basically non-existant in the market

I simply bought a USB serial adaptor. The cheapest that Bamboo Charlie had in stock. It just worked. It was so low priced that if it didn't I'd have just tossed it in the spare parts box and bought another. AFAIK most of them work. There are roughly 20 USB serial variants on the market. 8

As far as I understand, the OpenBSD position appears to be that trying to police users by forbidding them to maintain and retrieve port metadata about unfree software via this adjunct service (that is not included in the OS) would be a restriction of the users' freedom.
