Hi list,
after upgrading to 5.0 (no fresh install), I've encountered somewhat of a
puzzle. I use syweb on my webserver and an rrdtool binary in the /bin directory
in the chroot. This used to work fine, but now the updated binary won't run in
the chroot.
This is what ldd tells me on the main
As it turns out, the libraries were installed in a number of places (e.g. libpng
not only in /usr/local/lib but also in /usr/lib in the chroot). In one of those
places, there was still an old copy of librrd.so.3.0, which referenced the
libraries that I was seeing errors for. I cleaned everything
Hi list,
the OpenBSD upgrade pages carry a warning at the top Note: Upgrades are only
supported from one release to the release immediately following it. Do not skip
releases.
What's the reason for this warning? I've had a look at the upgrade steps and the
only thing that seems to assume a

Just to say that I've been having the same problem with a Soekris board since
about 4.4. I haven't figured out what's going on, but strangely the problem is
getting better with time (i.e. the rate at which mbufs are allocated decreases).
I *think* that it was fine in 4.3 (though I never run the
In the meantime knowing which board it is (or, even better, what network
drivers are in use) would help immensely.

Are you all running bridged setups ?
I am, but the problem also occurred without the bridge. I originally suspected
the wireless interface (which is bridged with one of the wired ones) and removed
the card and hence the bridge. Same problem.

Hi list,
is there any way to use newsyslog with ntpd (not the OpenBSD one) without
having to restart it? Just rotating the log causes subsequent log messages to be
lost and killing ntpd with SIGHUP causes it to exit.
I've had a look at the manpages and on the interwebs, but didn't find
you need to delete the pre-4.6 rrds
(don't take my word for it that 4.6 was the point vs 4.5)
I created the mbuf rrd just after the update -- wasn't working on 4.5 (giving
error messages). Left all the other rrds, which still work.
Lars
Hi,
I've just upgraded to 4.6 and symon/symux don't seem to record any mbuf data --
no error messages, there's just nothing in the rrd file.
Did I miss something in my configuration?
Thanks,
Lars
Hi all,
after my post in June [1] I've removed the wireless card that seemed to be
causing the memory problems and my system is more stable now. However, after
about three weeks of uptime, memory starts running low again and the machine
starts swapping constantly.
netstat -m gives me
33805
please send vmstat -m and netstat -m at a point when the memory
use is medium or high.
See below. Total memory use is about 170MB.
if you're using symon to collect your stats, it might be worth
recording and plotting the mbuf stats it can save.
That doesn't work anymore with 4.5 -- I got
that is way too high for what the system is doing.
any way to try it with the ral(4) wireless card disabled to see
if that makes any difference? (I have a feeling the wired RTL8139
rl(4) is more likely to have the problem but I guess those are
going to be harder to disable..)
Oh no, not
Hi all,
after upgrading to 4.5, I've had problems with the memory usage of the box
increasing continuously until if starts to swap and performance becomes so bad
that I have to reboot the box. This does not seem to be related to a specific
program, at least the usual tools don't indicate that
Hi all,
I've just upgraded to 4.5 and gkrellmd (gkrellm-server) package seems to have a
memory leak -- it's RAM usage is growing constantly and is at about 20M resident
now, less than one day after starting the machine.
Did anybody experience anything similar and knows a fix?
Thanks,
Lars
Yup.
Fixed in current more than 2 months ago:
Excellent, thanks!
Lars
Same problem here with an RT2860.

I just picked up a SparkLan WMIR-200N which I've put in my Soekris
net4501. The ral(4) driver says it supports the Ralink RT2860 and RT2850
chips on this card. OpenBSD detects the card however when I configure it
in hostap mode with WPA2-PSK, my Macbook or any wifi capable computer
will
FYI, I'm having the same problems with

Dear list,
I'm having problems with my 4.4 server where it starts to become unresponsive
after a couple of days and finally hangs.
The symptoms are very weird, the system runs fine for several days and then
performance degrades within a couple of hours until the system is unusable. It

Telling people exactly what you are using might help. A server means a
lot of things. A complete dmesg output would help, too. Lastly have you
patched it, and have you added anything to it? Are you running the stock
generic kernel?
Well, specifically it's this box
Hi list,
I'm running OpenBSD on an HL-463 [1] which has the NS CS5535 IDE chipset.
The kernel says that this chipset doesn't support DMA, although a quick google
search suggests that the same controller with a slightly different vendor
specification supports DMA. It also looks like DMA support
Is this taken care of?
There must be at least one host statement for every BOOTP client that is
to be served.
Yes. I actually copied the configuration from a a Linux server I was using
before for DHCP/BOOTP where everything was working fine.
It uses BPF, it won't show up in
SMART Self-test log structure revision number 1
No self-tests have been logged. [To run self-tests, use: smartctl -t]
You need to explicitely run the self test, e.g.

you can't assume that working on your Linux system means you have
the correct config format for OpenBSD. It's a different dhcpd.
Yes, I adapted the format; the host declaration is the same though.
if it responds to DHCP requests, it's listening properly, same port
for both protocols.
That's
Hi everybody, somebody say to me what is the equivalent to 'strace' for

Hi all,
I'm trying to get DHCP with BOOTP to work, but it just won't. I've set up
dhcpd.conf with explicit allow bootp; and allow booting; the filename directive
is in the declaration for the specific host. Tftp is running through inetd and
works -- I've confirmed this by manually connecting to
To clarify, dhcp works perfectly as long as there isn't any bootp involved, i.e.
clients which are configured to use dhcp get IP address, domain name,
etc work fine.
If I run dhcp in the foreground there's no output whatsoever when clients try
bootp. Same thing for the system log files. Tcpdump
Another thing I've noticed is that inter-station communication isn't possible
(I've checked that the nobridge option is NOT set). When I try to ping another
client on the wireless (which itself can communicate ok with the access point),
I get Destination host unreachable and the number of received
*c*.*48*.*0*: partial match in /usr/*lib*: major=49, minor=*0* (bad major)
Not a proper solution, but symlinking /usr/lib/c.49.0 to /usr/lib/c.48.0 worked
for me.

Hi all,
I've got some problems running an OpenBSD access point with a wireless card in
host ap mode and WPA.
First, let me describe the symptoms. I can connect with clients and traffic
passes through without problems, but the encryption seems to be dodgy. In the
log of the client (Linux machine
