Opaque option in ospfctl show database

[Xavier Claude]

Hi all,

With ospfctl, there is an opaque option listed in show database:

$ doas ospfctl show database none
unknown argument: none
valid commands/args:
  
  area
  asbr
  external
  network
  router
  self-originated
  summary
  opaque   # < Here


However, there no mention in the man page
http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi/OpenBSD-5.8/man8/ospfctl.8?query=ospfctl=8=OpenBSD-5.8

What does it do ?

Thank you for your answer.

Unable to set the server to download the sets with autoinstall

[Xavier Claude]

Hello,

I'm trying to use autoinstall with OpenBSD 5.5 but the Server line in
the configuration file is not read set according to the install.conf
and instead is used for the ntp server.

Here is my install.conf file:
System hostname = testbsd
Password for root = $2a$06$8APgDGjoEAAq85b3S.QZzer...dmiwcummDpa
Start sshd(8) by default = yes
Start ntpd(8) by default = yes
Do you expect to run the X Window System = no
Change the default console to com0 = no
Which speed should com0 use = 19200
Setup a user = conostix
Password for user = $2a$06$6IqO/zjUnFgrsI76g2/be.../YWDIA3T/mGdO
What timezone are you in = Europe/Luxembourg
Location of sets = http
Server = 192.168.42.1
Server directory = plop

And in the ai.log file, I have:

NTP server? (hostname or 'default') [default] 192.168.42.1


And at the end of the log:

Let's install the sets!
HTTP/FTP proxy URL? (e.g. 'http://proxy:8080', or 'none') [none] none
(Was not able to get ftplist from ftp.openbsd.org, but that is OK)
Server? (hostname or 'done')
Question has no answer in response file.


The install.conf retrieved by the installer is the same as the one on
the web server (checked with the installer shell).

Thank you for your help.

Since the 'NTP Server' question contains 'Server', it will match the
install.conf question, and since the NTP question comes first ...

I think you will have to put a 'NTP Server = default' line in the
install.conf, so it can be consumed before the 'Server' line is 
called

for.


Thank you, it worked.



Perhaps we should change 'Server?' to 'HTTP Server?' now that ftp is
no longer an install method, thus allowing unambiguous selection.

Default interface choice for automatic install

[Xavier Claude]

Hello again,

I have another issue with autoinstall, the man page says[1] that when
the machine is booted via netboot, the interface chosen is the one used
for the netboot. It works well for a virtual machine, even with
multiple interfaces. But on a physical machine with 2 Broadcom
interfaces, and 2 Intel, with the netboot done by the Broadcom
interface, the autoinstall doesn't start automatically (I can't test
the netboot with the Intel interface, the BIOS doesn't allow it).

What can I do to force the automatic install on the netboot interface?

Thank you for your answer.

 More information would be nice.

 Like a dmesg, and any actual messages you see before/during the
 install attempt.

The dmesg is join, you can see on the last lines (138) that it doesn't
recognize the PXE interface.

 A capture to a serial port acting as the console would be perfect.

I don't have serial access to the machine today, I can have it tomorrow 
if
you need more informations.

 Which Broadcom interface is doing the netbooting? What architecture
 are you using? Stuff like that.

The Broadcom interface used for netboot is named bnx1. The architecture 
is
i386. The physical machine is a Dell Poweredge 1950. I don't see any 
other
useful information but tell me if you need more.
