Installing apsfilter package fails

I have an OpenBSD 4.2 box without X installed, and I'm trying to install apsfilter to set up printing. Apsfilter fails with the following message: # pkg_add apsfilter-7.2.8p0.tgz Can't install gettext-0.14.6p0: lib not found expat.8.0 Dependencies for gettext-0.14.6p0 resolve to:

Re: Installing apsfilter package fails

Thank you Preston. You said, If I remember correctly, you need to have the x-base package installed for the libiconv / gettext dependencies to be met. It's an issue with 4.2. How did you know that? Is there a source that I should reference that I'm not aware of to keep up on the latest

Setting up an HP laserjet with apsfilter unknown printer error

Hi folks, I'm using apsfilter on OBSD 4.2, and trying to set up an HP LaserJet printer. I have an HP P2015DN and a 4240n, so printing to either one would be fine with me. After running apsfilter SETUP, here's my /etc/printcap file: lp|PSgs;r=300x300;q=medium;c=mono;p=letter;m=auto:\ :lp=:\

Would OpenBSD and Squid be considered a Proxy Firewall?

Hi folks, I'm reading a book on network security and it mentions proxy firewalls, so I'm wondering if an OpenBSD box with Squid installed would fit this description? Or, are there other proxy firewalls the author is referring to? The book mentions that although proxy firewalls tend to slow

Simple OBSD/Samba sharing/restart question

Hi folks, I'm running OpenBSD 4.2, I've installed and configured Samba. I have a shared directory on the OBSD box that I store some backup log files stored in. I want to be able to read the log files (or any other files as well) from the shared directory, but I'm not able to do so. Here's my

Correctly uninstall default Apache and install Apache 2.2.4?

Hi folks, For a variety of reasons and features, I'd like to install the apache-httpd-2.2.4.tgz package. As a side note, I tried to install it on OpenBSD 4.2, and there are a few package dependencies it apparently is missing (at least on my box, which runs 4.2 without X) because the install fails.

My ntpd isn't starting on OBSD 4.3?

How do I set up personal web sites for users?

It seems like, from what I see on the web, that I should be using: AuthDigestFile instead of AuthUserFile however when I do that, save the httpd.conf and restart Apache, I get the following error message: Syntax error on line 61 of /var/www/conf/httpd.conf: Invalid command 'AuthDigestFile',

Re: How do I use digest authentication to allow/deny directory access

Thanks, Adam. To test even Basic authentication, I created a file named passwords in the htdocs directory to confirm that Apache could reach it. :-) Then I made this entry in the httpd.conf file: Directory /download AuthType Basic AuthName Private AuthUserFile /var/www/htdocs/passwords Require

How to use fdisk and manually create partitions at 4K increments?

I'd like to install OBSD, and I'd like to manually create my partition structure. 1.) Can someone tell me how to use fdisk to create my partitions at 4K increments? 2.) How do I confirm that the partitions are, in fact, aligned at 4K intervals after I've created them? 3.) Can you recommend a

Auto partition starting at Sector 32 and not Sector 64? That's not right, is it?

I started installing 5.1, and selected the auto partition. I saw the first partition starting at Sector 64, which was what I expected. I had to restart my install (through no fault of OBSD), only this time I noticed that the auto install, first partition starting at Sector 32. That's odd, isn't

How to PROVE your system is up to date?

Thanks Michael! I guess what I'm really asking is... if and when there ARE patches that you've applied, either manually or via following the patch branch, how do you know (i.e., prove to someone like my pesky regulators) that the patches have been applied? For example, I'm sure there's a log

How to stress (performance?) test my PF rules?

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to best test the performance of my PF ruleset? Maybe iperf? I'm just diving into learning PF and as I make changes to my ruleset, it would be great if there's a good way of testing the traffic flow through my OBSD box. Suggestions? Thank you, Ed
