happy birthday theo de raadt
hey theo, wish you a very happy birthday. hope you have an interesting year ahead. and hope everybody out here "only" wish theo instead of also going off at a tangent and creating a mess. -mayuresh
CHERI leads to Morello
Just a note, in case this has missed discussion out here (didn't find any references on the mailing list via Google search). Some of you might be aware of the CHERI project [1] to enhance security of computer systems from the hardware level up through the software stack. They had moved away from MIPS to ARM which lead to the creation of the Morello program [2]. Morello boards are available [3] upon request. Best regards, ~Mayuresh 1. https://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/research/security/ctsrd/cheri/ 2. https://www.arm.com/architecture/cpu/morello 3. https://www.dsbd.tech/get-involved/morello-board-request/

why the c99 mandate?
i am not a c hotshot, so pardon my ignorance. i read that all new code under openbsd has to be c99. may i know what's so special about c99 over c89 which has been under heavy use for so long? also, does the mandate hold true for modifications to old (c89) code? thank you.
16gb nvme (optane) : install target : supported?
is installation to a 16gb optane disk (built-in to my laptop) supported? currently running ubuntu 18.04 and it runs really well off the optane. even gives me an additional 1 hour of battery usage.
documentation for building a new package?
what do i need to read regarding steps and procedure for building a new package and having it included in the openbsd repository?
6.5 : console font : no spleen?
i thought "spleen" was made the new default console font under 6.5+, it doesn't look like it's there on my fresh install under amd64?
openbsd : foundation : donation : annual : automatic : any method?
not currently, but when i work with openbsd, i work at the text-console exclusively. i do use the web occasionally, via "lynx". i hate the 'pui' and hence graphical web browsers. i prefer to make annual donations to the openbsd foundation, typically 1st april. is there any method to automate that process? i do not have any liking towards having to boot off a ubuntu live system and using it's 'pui' web browser even once a year to make a donation, though i have to do it for the moment.

article : undefined behavior and the purpose of C
Don't know if this has been discussed here before, but I found the following excerpt from the article at http://www.yodaiken.com/2018/12/31/undefined-behavior-and-the-purpose-of-c/ unnerving; ... often the writers of the ISO C Standard have thrown up their hands and labeled the effects of non-portable and potentially non-portable operations "undefined behavior" for which they provided only a fuzzy guideline. Unfortunately, the managers of the gcc and clang C compilers have increasingly ignored the guideline and ignored well-established well-understood practice, producing often bizarre and dangerous results ...

swi-pl : tiny edition!
i don't have the skills nor the experience to accomplish this, so here. can there be a swi-pl-tiny edition of swi-prolog? as it stands today, swi-prolog has a whole lot of dependencies, as here; gmp, libexecinfo, pcre, ossp-uuid, jpeg, bzip2, lz, xz, libarchive, db, iodbc. it would be really helpful to have that tiny edition for a project i am working towards for and under openbsd. thanks.

thanks to solene, but moving away from zenlisp
have been informed by the developer of zenlisp that it's not going to be supported any further. thanks solene for you efforts. i think i'll let of the excuses and start (re)learning c89, and results will follow. :)
zenlisp : requesting a package
i can't do it myself, hence this email. would someone please create a package for zenlisp (http://www.t3x.org/files/zenlisp.zip)? thanks.
not insecure, rather unsecured.
i just installed 6.0 amd64 and rebooted the machine after creating /etc/hostname.iwn0. the boot script(s) issued a warining related to the permissions on the above file. they mentioned "hostname.iwn0 is insecure, fixing it". that word should not be insecure, but should be "unsecured". after all, "insecure is a feeling, while unsecured is a _state_". -mayuresh

[mot] serious about clang/llvm?
i have been reading up online news about the core team considering a move from 'gcc' to "clang/llvm". is it really true? wouldn't that add a whole lot of complexity to the base system? isn't clang/llvm written in c++11? wouldn't 'pcc' be a better alternative? especially because (i think) openbsd is striving to deliver a compact base install with as small a disk footprint as possible! i had heard rumours about the openbsd core team having a part of openbsd built using 'pcc', is it true? if yes, did that effort not produce desirable results? -mayuresh
openbsd : mailx users : how-to include previous mail text (only)?
hello, i have been trying to fix the problem of mailx including the entire header-set when issuing a tilde + m in a reply to include only the previous emails body text (content). one of the docs suggested using tilde + p, but dang, it didn't work for me during tests executed just now. if anyone here uses mailx under openbsd regularly, can they please advise? thanks.
apology about my email screw-up ...
i am using mailx under openbsd, and instead of using the said combination of tilde + p, i used tilde + m while attempting to include original messages in my replies. i apologize for the screw-up.

256TB (2^48) should be good enough till 2020.
it is for a lot of records (data-sets) to held in memory instead
of approaching the disk every time that data is requested.
the use-case is primarily for financial system, but, will also
hold 'gis' data going forward.
the owner of the system isn't rich enough to afford an 'ibm'
mainframe, hence a unix based system written in c89 under openbsd.
i am just the adviser/consultant. :)

You're asking whether in the near future we'll add support for amd64
machines with 2^64 bytes of memory, machines which don't even exist?
Nope, not in the near future.
Philip Guenther
apologies for being such a spaaz. i just missed the point that the
currently available amd64 hardware itself doesn't support 2^64 bytes
of memory. :)

Currently, in the amd64 pmap we only allocate a single PML4 slot for
the 'direct' map, limiting the system to 512GB of physical memory.
Multiplying that by a factor of 4 or even 64 would be easy, but
lacking someone actually planning to *use and test* that it just
hasn't been seen as worth the effort to do, verify the change in kva
layout doesn't break some hidden assumption, etc. (IIRC, dlg@ did
this once just to get a dmesg from a 2TB machine going to other,
non-OpenBSD use.)
There's an upper limit to that growth: there's only 256 PML4 slots for
kva, from which this comes, so at some point the kva remaining for
normal use and management would shrink too much and the whole pmap
would need to be rethought...
Philip Guenther
thanks for the details, but, since i am nowhere close to being a
systems programmer, would like to know if there's any chance such
support might be added in, in the near future?
thanks.

Martin
if the intended application actually requires larger memory to be
accessible, would it be better to go for a non-x86-64 64-bit hardware?
if yes, could you please recommend something easily available?
and yes, i would really prefer it being supported by openbsd.
thanks.
64-bit amd64 : actual memory limitations?
64-bit supposedly supports upto 16 exabytes of memory ('ram').
would such large capacities actually be possible to ue with
openbsd for amd64 architecture?
use-case: working with large in-memory storage for financial applications.
thanks.
erlang : manpages : inaccessible
i am running 5.4 and have installed erlang using pkg_add. works well, just can't access the man pages. have added the following line to /etc/man.conf erlang/usr/local/lib/erlang/man/ am sure about either having done something wrong or missed a step somewhere. can i be helped? thanks.
ada95 : gnat 4.6 : compile time warnings
hello,
i was fiddling around with ada95 under openbsd 5.4 using gnat-4.6.
i created a sample program as below.
with Ada.Text_IO;
use Ada.Text_IO;
procedure Hello is
-- no variables required
begin
Put_Line ("Hello, world!");
end Hello;
the code compiled (not cleanly) and gave me an executable.
the messages thrown up during compilation are below.
egcc -c hello.adb
gnatbind -x hello.ali
gnatlink hello.ali

i cross checked by compiling the same code under ubuntu server 13.10 using
gnat-4.6, and it compiles cleanly.
is this something i should be worried about?
my machine's dmesg is below.

Re: UEFI
just install another 'os' like ubuntu-desktop on your laptop first. openbsd will install on it flawlessly after that, it did on mine. and yes, there was no need to change any options anywhere.

Re: cwm rocks : but...
yes, did do those changes using xsetroot, etc. looks even better. about the login dialog itself, i'm trying to emulate the look of a/ux login screen. it used to be radically minimalist yet well designed.
Re: cwm rocks : but...
thanks jmz. /etc/X11/xdm/Xresources is the file i tried to edit. what ever changes i did must've been bad, made my system freeze. luckily i had a backup of that file. i attempted to make the login screen be even more minimalistic, and have the same kind of font and font-size as what's there in xterm. best.
cwm rocks : but...
have been using 'cwm' for over a week now. enjoying every moment of it. very well thought out and well executed from an openbsd perspective. questions; * is there any mailing list for keeping an eye on 'cwm' progress? * can the openbsd 'xdm' be made to look equally minimalistic? (i tried fiddling with the resources, made my system freeze). best.
a good workstation configurations?
hello, i've been using lenovo laptops for the past 4 years and have faced a whole lot of problems, vis-a-vis heating, disk performance and battery life; * heating: temperatures reach 70 deg centigrade in less than 5 minutes, * disk performance: even untaring a compressed file takes too long, * battery: doesn't last for more than 1.5 hours. i don't do anything extra-ordinary, and use the default install options. i don't have the guts to work on the bleeding edge by constantly keeping my system updated / building from source. my primary usage is for software development using c89. i develop small tools which work well together. :) given the above, i'm fed up with the whole laptop usage scenario, and wish to head back to a workstation, just don't know which to go for. can anyone please advise on a good workstation configuration? best.
[sot] going long long on time_t
went through theo's presentation slides at eurobsdcon (via undeadly) looks like 5.5 is the one that i've been saving money for all along thanks theo and gang. :)
nitpicky : cwm menu font
how do i find out which font is being used by xterm under cwm under openbsd? then i could use that same font (and size) for the cwm menu to give me a consistent user experience. ;)
mailx : mime handling?
hi, how do mailx users currently handle mime?
Re: openbsd on present day macintosh
i intend to move away from laptops. too many issues with power-management and heating. currently, have very little desk space, hence a macmini. :) thanks. -mayuresh
Re: openbsd on present day macintosh
thanks for the response. if present day (intel based) macbook runs fine so will a macmini. would like to know if you had to jump any hoops during first boot, i.e. the install boot. i will have to use an external (usb) optical drive, and don't know if i have to issue any special key-press instructions for the openbsd boot cd to get chosen and booted. thanks again. :) -mayuresh
openbsd on present day macintosh
hello, does anyone have any experience with installing and running openbsd on a present day macintosh, say a macmini? would like to know words of caution and advice before i commit to purchasing a macmini and using it exclusively for openbsd software development (my current thinkpad is dying quite rapidly). thanks. -mayuresh
mailx : mime handling : current practise?

apue : for openbsd : which edition?
hello, may i know which would be the most suitable edition of 'apue' (1st or 2nd) to learn more about programming services under openbsd? thanks.
mailx : mbox management strategies
may i know the sort of mbox management strategies used by those using mailx (hence mbox) as the mail handler? i wish to know how mailx users keep their mbox within manageable size limits. do they start a new mbox every month/year? do they use folders support to sort mails? or do they simply discard those mails which aren't really of great importance? thanks.

hello, i've got a thinkpad x100e-amd64 (dmesg below mail). all of its communications functions are well supported under ubuntu (current), but some of them (wifi and bluetooth) aren't even configurable under openbsd 5.2 (amd64). is there any way i can assist the core team to support my hardware fully? finally, how good or bad is the gprs/3g/edge support under openbsd? (i intend to purchase an internal 3g (mini-pci) modem for my laptop). thanks and regards. ~mayuresh -- OpenBSD 5.2 (GENERIC) #309: Wed Aug 1 09:58:55 MDT 2012 dera...@amd64.openbsd.org:/usr/src/sys/arch/amd64/compile/GENERIC real mem = 4024238080 (3837MB) avail mem = 3894771712 (3714MB) mainbus0 at root bios0 at mainbus0: SMBIOS rev. 2.5 @ 0xf0900 (43 entries) bios0: vendor LENOVO version "6XET50WW (1.33 )" date 03/14/2012 acpi0 at bios0: rev 2 acpi0: sleep states S0 S3 S4 S5 acpi0: tables DSDT FACP TCPA SSDT APIC MCFG HPET SLIC acpi0: wakeup devices PB5_(S5) OHC0(S3) OHC1(S3) OHC2(S3) OHC3(S3) OHC4(S3) P2P_(S5) LID_(S3) acpitimer0 at acpi0: 3579545 Hz, 32 bits acpimadt0 at acpi0 addr 0xfee0: PC-AT compat cpu0 at mainbus0: apid 0 (boot processor) cpu0: AMD Athlon(tm) Neo Processor MV-40, 1597.29 MHz cpu0: FPU,VME,DE,PSE,TSC,MSR,PAE,MCE,CX8,APIC,SEP,MTRR,PGE,MCA,CMOV,PAT,PSE36,CFLUSH,MMX,FXSR,SSE,SSE2,SSE3,CX16,NXE,MMXX,FFXSR,LONG,3DNOW2,3DNOW,LAHF,SVM,EAPICSP,AMCR8,3DNOWP cpu0: 64KB 64b/line 2-way I-cache, 64KB 64b/line 2-way D-cache, 512KB 64b/line 16-way L2 cache cpu0: ITLB 32 4KB entries fully associative, 8 4MB entries fully associative cpu0: DTLB 32 4KB entries fully associative, 8 4MB entries fully associative cpu0: apic clock running at 199MHz ioapic0 at mainbus0: apid 1 pa 0xfec0, version 21, 24 pins acpimcfg0 at acpi0 addr 0xe000, bus 0-3 acpihpet0 at acpi0: 14318180 Hz acpiprt0 at acpi0: bus 0 (PCI0) acpiprt1 at acpi0: bus 2 (PB5_) acpiprt2 at acpi0: bus 4 (P2P_) acpiprt3 at acpi0: bus 1 (AGP_) acpiec0 at acpi0 acpicpu0 at acpi0: C3, C2, PSS acpitz0 at acpi0: critical temperature is 92 degC acpibtn0 at acpi0: PWRB acpibtn1 at acpi0: SLPB acpithinkpad0 at acpi0 acpiac0 at acpi0: AC unit online acpibat0 at acpi0: BAT1 model "42T4789" serial 10259 type LION oem "LGC 11" acpibtn2 at acpi0: LID_ cpu0: PowerNow!

5.2 : ssd support!
hello, i'm running 5.2 (amd64) on my existing machine (dmesg below mail). works great, except for heating problems and lowered battery life. have experimented and run tests (windows 7, ubuntu 12.04.1 and memtest). the heating and battery life problems only surface under openbsd. wondered if replacing my regular hdd with a ssd might solve both problems in one shot. hence my question, "how good or bad is the ssd support under 5.2?". most of my usage would be software development using either lisp, c and c++ (at the console, no x). best. ~mayuresh -- dmesg -- OpenBSD 5.2 (GENERIC) #309: Wed Aug 1 09:58:55 MDT 2012 dera...@amd64.openbsd.org:/usr/src/sys/arch/amd64/compile/GENERIC real mem = 4024238080 (3837MB) avail mem = 3894771712 (3714MB) mainbus0 at root bios0 at mainbus0: SMBIOS rev. 2.5 @ 0xf0900 (43 entries) bios0: vendor LENOVO version "6XET50WW (1.33 )" date 03/14/2012 acpi0 at bios0: rev 2 acpi0: sleep states S0 S3 S4 S5 acpi0: tables DSDT FACP TCPA SSDT APIC MCFG HPET SLIC acpi0: wakeup devices PB5_(S5) OHC0(S3) OHC1(S3) OHC2(S3) OHC3(S3) OHC4(S3) P2P_(S5) LID_(S3) acpitimer0 at acpi0: 3579545 Hz, 32 bits acpimadt0 at acpi0 addr 0xfee0: PC-AT compat cpu0 at mainbus0: apid 0 (boot processor) cpu0: AMD Athlon(tm) Neo Processor MV-40, 1597.29 MHz cpu0: FPU,VME,DE,PSE,TSC,MSR,PAE,MCE,CX8,APIC,SEP,MTRR,PGE,MCA,CMOV,PAT,PSE36,CFLUSH,MMX,FXSR,SSE,SSE2,SSE3,CX16,NXE,MMXX,FFXSR,LONG,3DNOW2,3DNOW,LAHF,SVM,EAPICSP,AMCR8,3DNOWP cpu0: 64KB 64b/line 2-way I-cache, 64KB 64b/line 2-way D-cache, 512KB 64b/line 16-way L2 cache cpu0: ITLB 32 4KB entries fully associative, 8 4MB entries fully associative cpu0: DTLB 32 4KB entries fully associative, 8 4MB entries fully associative cpu0: apic clock running at 199MHz ioapic0 at mainbus0: apid 1 pa 0xfec0, version 21, 24 pins acpimcfg0 at acpi0 addr 0xe000, bus 0-3 acpihpet0 at acpi0: 14318180 Hz acpiprt0 at acpi0: bus 0 (PCI0) acpiprt1 at acpi0: bus 2 (PB5_) acpiprt2 at acpi0: bus 4 (P2P_) acpiprt3 at acpi0: bus 1 (AGP_) acpiec0 at acpi0 acpicpu0 at acpi0: C3, C2, PSS acpitz0 at acpi0: critical temperature is 92 degC acpibtn0 at acpi0: PWRB acpibtn1 at acpi0: SLPB acpithinkpad0 at acpi0 acpiac0 at acpi0: AC unit online acpibat0 at acpi0: BAT1 model "42T4789" serial 10259 type LION oem "LGC 11" acpibtn2 at acpi0: LID_ cpu0: PowerNow!

anyone on the list with infrastructure support to help us with the following? a way to host our project webpage and email system via a shell interface. the domain name is owned by us. we would like to have; a website like http://www.project_name.org/ email addresses like member@project_name.org some way to have source code control (cvs) it to be really low cost. :) thank you. -- simplicity can be marvellously powerful. - rahul jindal

the region around the video camera heats up phenomenally, it happens
everytime, irrespective of whether i use it for 2 minutes or 2 hours.
anything i could do to help the systems guys resolve this problem?
thank you.

Thanks for the answer Gilles, as always, very complete :-) about: 3- why oh why ? Because I'm on the verge of running an experiment using OpenBSD. It involves a lot of small files in one big directory. I wanted to use the Unix toolkit rather than using the one big interpreted language (php, ruby) approach. Again, thank you. :-) Best.

The project is to do with large number of files stored in a directory, but definitely not about finding out whether OpenBSD would be in a position to handle that. The answer is vital to allow me usage of OpenBSD, else I will probably have to move over to some commercial Unix, hope you can help. :) The project is research, not finding out whether the research wouldn't yield results because the filesystem couldn't handle management of 5 million small files. :-)

I could have, but I'm running win7 on my machine at the moment, and haven't yet received my copy of OpenBSD yet.

Hello, I'm not aware if this has been brought up here before, didn't know how to search for this particular question through the archives, so writing to the list. Pardon me if I'm repeating. I'm under OpenBSD 4.2 running ksh (PD KSH v5.2.14 99/07/13.2) as my shell. I tried to do the following; time java helloWorld >time.report 2>&1 It showed the following; 0m0.13s real 0m0.12s user 0m0.00s system shouldn't this time command related info go into time.report? time.report only contained the string "Hello World".

They relegated it to "legacy system" status because there wasn't a market for it. Java ME targets the embedded systems market and does it quite well. Embedded systems developers typically have used a fixed set of OSes, Sun considered it not worthwhile to introduce one more standard, and instead focused on delivering a platform for application development.

It worked as you'd predicted. So I guess its the problem with the OpenBSD resolver.

I forgot to mention, my Firefox version is 2.0.0.6 Also I've only got a total of 3~4 tabs open while performing the Dilbert test. Taking your cue, I tried an experiment, I opened up 10 tabs, but without the Dilbert site and all of them opened up in parallel.
The Dilbert Problem...
Hi, There's a strange incident that's repeatable on my system (4.2). Open up Firefox, make it load "www.dilbert.com", then open another tab and visit any other website, then do the same for 2~3 more tabs. The first (dilbert) tab takes a long time to load during which the other tabs too show nothing, they get stuck at "Looking up..." Is it a Firefox problem or something to do with the system? Best, ~Mayuresh

Didn't quite grasp your mail clearly, but based on what-ever I understood of it, here goes; SUN is going to continue keeping MySQL open sourced, only that they are going try and monetise on the fact that people would like to buy SUN hardware to run their DB on. Nothing else changes. Best, ~Mayuresh

How do I check whether its a non-apm laptop?
It's a ThinkPad R61i, dmesg below;

Monitoring Battery...
Hello, Is there any way to monitor the charge left on the battery of a laptop? Like how much percentage of the battery charge is left to allow us to estimate how long it will work without connecting to a wall socket? I googled for "monitoring battery openbsd" but got nothing satisfactory. Best, ~Mayuresh

ThinkPad : X freezes on exit...
Hi,
I've got a ThinkPad R61i (dmesg at the bottom of mail).
I configured X using 'X -configure', it showed a nice 1024x768 X
startup screen, but when I did 'Ctrl+Alt+Backspace' to get back to my
console X just froze.
The only way to get out was to do a hard reboot.
Is there anyway to solve this problem?

There's something about OpenBSD...
What is it about OpenBSD that I can't resist it? After the past long exchange about "our ultimate goal" and a lot of people advising me to go over to Solaris 10, I did, I removed OpenBSD from one of my machines and installed "Solaris Express Developers Edition". It was slick looking, very graphical with most of things you want to do, had Java SE 5/6 preinstalled, and had everything thing that I was expecting from OpenBSD. But yet, after 2 hours of fooling around, I came back to OpenBSD. For one thing, it took me almost 1.5 hours to install Solaris, compare that to 30 minutes with OpenBSD, including 'packages', 'src' and 'ports'. The second thing was probably the knowledge that things are simple with OpenBSD, none of the complicated layouts thing as with Solaris. You could follow instructions from ancient books like "Practical Unix and Internet Security - Second Edition" to the T. Given all that, inspite of all the hammering I've taken over my comments, I'd prefer to stick with OpenBSD. Thanks to Theo and the core gang for delivering such a good, clean operating environment. Best, ~Mayuresh

The wheel isn't the technology, it is a concept. An implementation of the wheel concept would be the technology. The concept is the same, but the technology is certainly different.

My ultimate goal is to have an OS which would give me; stability, security, a better default window manager, something as good as DTrace, something as good as FireEngine, a file system which would hold a lot of big files, you can assume it to be porn if you want :-) and, a system which is as free off GNU software as possible. That's the reason I've been gathering good C developers, so that they could either; 1. take up complex projects like FireEngine/DTrace, 2. write replacements for as many GNU tools/utilities as possible, 3. be a landing stage for newer developers who get intimidated by the intensity of the core developers. > I've read thru this thread and you are remarkably obscure > about your intentions, but it seems to me that OBSD somehow > does not fit your marketing plan, which seems to have a lot > in common with "New, Improved, Diamond-shaped Shreddies".

Leonardo, I've NEVER got any of the code for FREE, I've always paid for it by buying CDs, unlike you who might have done an FTP install, you're a cheap-skate aren't you. Go buy yourself a CD set, contribute to the OpenBSD foundation, or better still, since you are talking about flying pigs, go code up a good application in C for OpenBSD or enhance an existing one. ~Mayuresh
