Quotas and DUIDs
What is the latest status on this? Latest info I could find is a patch on dev list from September last year. Snapshot from few days ago is still affected, e.g: quotacheck -a quotacheck: 6fa46c18fccf6125.h: No such file or directory THE FOLLOWING FILE SYSTEM HAD AN UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCY: ffs: 6fa46c18fccf6125.h (/home) Is there maybe a workaround until the source gets patched?
OpenBSD related jobs?
OpenBSD is so far above and beyond anything else out there that I am having a hard time using other systems.

Easy way to follow -current, a write-up
I just wrote this document outlining the steps I do to keep up with -current: http://ramov.com/writing/obsd-current.html Hope someone finds it useful. More of an end-user method as there is no source code involved.
Re: Easy way to follow -current, a write-up
* Marc Espie es...@nerim.net [2011-12-03 20:36+0100]: Bad advice. As discussed with Antoine, sysmerge should be run *after* the update, not before, even though you may have to reboot an extra time. Thanks for pointing that out, fixed.
Re: Easy way to follow -current, a write-up
* Marc Espie es...@nerim.net [2011-12-03 20:36+0100]: As discussed with Antoine, sysmerge should be run *after* the update, not before, even though you may have to reboot an extra time. I am not sure about one more thing. Do I select etc.tgz and xetc.tgz file sets when upgrading? Or do I de-select them and then run `sysmerge` after reboot? Or having them selected/de-selected doesn't make a difference in the end?
Re: Easy way to follow -current, a write-up
* Antoine Jacoutot ajacou...@bsdfrog.org [2011-12-03 23:12+0100]: You cannot select etc.tgz and xetc.tgz when upgrading. Ah, missed that. I usually do a full install on desktops so I don't pay much attention to file sets. Shouldn't then net result be effectively the same whether one runs `sysmerge` before or after upgrade?
Re: Easy way to follow -current, a write-up
* Marc Espie es...@nerim.net [2011-12-03 23:10+0100]: Duh, are you smarter than update ? why do you think it doesn't select them ? Have I said that anywhere? I was asking for a clarification.
Re: Easy way to follow -current, a write-up
* Ingo Schwarze schwa...@usta.de [2011-12-04 00:15+0100]: That sounds strange, especially on desktops; after reinstall, you have to install all packages from scratch, and desktops typically need lots of packages. What I was trying to say is that I generally install all sets (do a full install) on desktops so I usually don't pay much attention on them, which is why I haven't noticed they are not user selectable during upgrade. Nothing about packages or reinstalling.

Something similar to Soekris boards, for server applications
Hello, I am looking for something in the spirit of Soekris boards, but more suited for server applications, e.g. for hosting Django apps. Current net6501 is maxed out at 2 GB of RAM and 1.6 Ghz *single-core* (two threads) atom. The reason I am considering Soekris is because dedicated servers are often underused and idling. Few GB of memory, anemic processor and SSD gets one a surprisingly long way, especially with properly chosen stack and caching. So the general idea is: one Django app = one Soekris board. This is much better than virtualization (bare metal forever) or putting more apps on a big server. Some apps would run great on this, but a more powerful CPU and more memory would be needed for more demanding workloads. Any recommendations for similar, but a bit more powerful and versatile hardware (think one app = one hardware device)? Thanks.

* Christiano F. Haesbaert haesba...@haesbaert.org [2011-11-30 14:39-0200]: You may consider the new AMD E-350, the fusion ones, they're very low-power and might suit you. They're very, very cheap, I've never used them, but sounds a better alternative than the atom. Fusion stuff is consumer tech. Other than AMD embedded stuff (which isn't so bad) I am not sure is there a good fit currently for what I'm after.

Re: bootstrap.pl
* Ingo Schwarze schwa...@usta.de [2011-11-01 14:12+0100]: You are reinventing parts of site50.tgz, install.site, and rc.firsttime(8), but in a way that requires more manual labour. Yep, you are right, forgot about those, thanks! Parts seem to be missing here to edit mailer.conf(5) and rc.conf.local(8) to disable sendmail(8) and enable smtpd(8); Those are handled with syncing etc files from the storage volume. But I agree it is a bad solution, so I am going to redone the whole thing with site50.tgz etc. but note that smtpd(8) is still not officially supported for production as far as i know - even though it may be getting close. This is for my personal workstation, it just relays to a smarthost. Thanks for the tips!

Re: Pointers on starting X, then run browser and when it quits, automatically shutdown the computer X
* Tito Mari Francis Escaqo titomarifran...@gmail.com [2011-10-29T17:50+0800]: My idea is for the whole system to run off a Live CD, but I'm quite lost how to start the X windowing system, then the web browser and then automatically shutdown the whole system after quitting web browser. As for the browser starting when X is started, this would do: echo exec firefox ~/.xinitrc When you quit Firefox, X will terminate, too. Your other requirements are a bit trickier though.

Since OpenBSD libc now supports multi-byte characters, are there any forthcoming plans to bring this support to nvi? There is no editor in base which supports it and I don't want to install or use vim.
Multiple smarthost relays with smptd

Envelope senders are properly set. Is there a way to make this work?
