Upgrade to 5.2?

Yesterday I upgraded from 5.1-release to -current. Is there any need to upgrade to 5.2-release? Could this cause issues since -current is really newer than what's on the 5.2 media?

pf and torrenting

I am trying to get torrenting to work but I can't seem to get any packets to go through. Tcpdump shows attempted activity and nothing blocked,but the torrent client itself doesn't seem to be receiving anything from any torrent I have tried. The torrent client is using port 58846 From the

Re: Virtualize or bare-metal?

I personally wouldn't advise using a single bare-metal machine just for dhcp, a separate one for dns, a separate one for sendmail etc. Seems like a huge waste of resources to me. My opinion is that you would fare better, as was suggested earlier, to use some of the other bare-metal machines for

Re: Is my 5.4 CD ok?

There isn't any reason all the packages couldn't fit on a cd. Most are just a few bytes to a few kb, and a small number are into a few MB. Browsing the package list (for i386), it looks like the largest one might be 4mb. You should set your pkg path to the cd if you want to install from there,

PF port forwarding issue

I am using PF on 5.4-stable to NAT and firewall my network, but I can't get port forwarding to work. All requests end up at the OpenBSD box and go no further. For instance, I opened port 22 in PF to forward to a Centos box, but ssh on the openbsd box still takes the request. Port 80 isn't working

Cisco routers

This may not be the most appropriate place to ask, but I figured a lot of you are using Cisco on your networks. I am beginning to study for the CCNA and I want to purchase at least one Cisco router and a switch for a home lab. I don't want to spend a lot of money unnecessarily, and have been

Re: Upgrade path from 4.1?

Your best option would be to backup data and configs, and reinstall fresh. There are so many releases between 4.1 and 5.4 that you're going to spend a lot of time just to get to -current or -stable 5.4, while you're still gonna have to modify config files that have changes since 4.1 that it

Re: My computer suddenly turned itself off.

Sudden power offs are often indicative of heat issues, especially on laptops. Does it power right back on and stay on for a long time? If not I would suspect heat. If it does stay on, it may be a power management bug, a bad power source or possibly a failing power supply in the machine. If it

Re: ETE - ETA

ETA is a sort of "universally" recognized and used form. To be technical, ETA and ETE would be synonymous in this case anyway. The time to wait till arrival (eta) would correspond exactly with the time it takes to complete the process (enroute). On Sun, Jan 22, 2017 at 8:30 AM jean-francois

Re: fsck: CANNOT READ: BLK 4235468160

With disks, the blocks can change. There can be any number of reasons for this, from the actual physical platters going bad to the read heads not functioning properly, or the memory on the disk going bad. SSD is a different story, in my experience when it begins to go the behavior becomes really

Re: fsck: CANNOT READ: BLK 4235468160

I just saw you mentioned you are using the disk inside of virtualbox. Does this same thing happen if you use the disk natively? On Mon, Jan 8, 2018 at 8:52 AM Matt M <cmorrow...@gmail.com> wrote: > With disks, the blocks can change. There can be any number of reasons for > this, fro
