System date reset to 1969 while attempting to run chrooted linux binary
Hello, I am using OpenBSD 3.7 GENERIC on an i386 and installed the redhat_base-8.0p4.tgz for linux compatibilty and was fooling around with getting linux binaries to work within a chroot when I noticed that my system clock had been reset to 1969. The only reference to that happening that I found was another mailing list post back in 2003. http://archives.neohapsis.com/archives/openbsd/2003-10/1508.html It did not seem to come to any real conclusions. Here is what I have run: grimace# sysctl -a |grep linux kern.emul.linux=1 grimace# date Sun Jun 26 01:39:40 CDT 2005 grimace# chroot /emul/linux /usr/bin/id grimace# date Wed Dec 31 18:00:01 CST 1969 My very limited understanding of compat_linux has me believe that OpenBSD will look for linux libraries in /emul/linux/ and that is why the chroot failed. Also now, linux libraries populate /lib and /usr/lib instead of the expected OpenBSD ones. Is that confusing OpenBSD? Is it a bug in OpenBSD to reset the date in that situation or is it simply me giving OpenBSD a very stupid command to run? Also, what exactly is causing the date to be reset? I'm obviously not going to attempt this command on any production system but is the date reset caused by any deeper problem than just the chroot? Thanks, Kareem Dana
"no network" on OBSD 3.7 snap with Lucent Orinoco (wi0)
Hello misc@,
I finally decided to send a mail here because I'm despairing with my
wireless network since I upgraded to the latest snapshot.
I simply try to connect to a 802.11b network using a Lucent Orinoco.
For testing purposes I even got over my paranoia for a couple of minutes
and tested without WEP ( and vpn), I even deactivated pf ( don't ask me what it
could have to do with the card not associating, just to make sure).
The router is a "SMC Barricade g Wireless Router 2.4GHz 54 Mbps Wireless
Cable/DSL"
As wireless Option I activated "Long Range Mixed 11b + 11g";
Just as a hint there is no problem to connect to it with the same
machine's "Atheros AR5212 (IBM MiniPCI)" via 802.11b
I have spent the last couple of hours reading this:
wi
wicontrol
ifconfig
hostname.if
route ( not directly related )
arp
The first problem I experienced:
# ifconfig wi0 chan 10
ifconfig: SIOCS80211CHANNEL: Invalid argument
Here is my hostname.wi0:

PF-Question
I've a question related to PF. SpamD provides a trap. If somebody sends e-Mail to a e.g. special mailadress this host will be added to a list. Is there any spamtrap-like Mechanism for the pf? E.g. more skilled "badguys" don't use `nmap -sS &target`. Such guys will limit their scans to just a few ports (3-6). But if I know that I don't provide e.g. Telnet couldn't the Telnetport be a "Trapport"? An attacker who connects to that port gets blocked like SpamD does it with spammers. The question I've after reading all the Documentation (realy everything): Is there such a mechanism? I ask because I didn't noticed anything about such a system. Kind regards, Sebastian

What's about 3-Way- handshake scans? As I said such guys scan just a few ports to not getting noticed by an IDs (and a IDS would "mostly" notice Syn-Scans but not full 3-way. Scans if just 3 ports e.g. where scanned). e.g. nmap -sT -sV -P0 -sV -p21,22,80 would be such a case or nmap -sT -sV -P0 -sV -p21,22 So if I know that I don't run a FTPd the Src-IP would get blocked and the scan for other ports would fail. Kind regards, Sebastian

WRAP board and Atheros card
Hello, I've just upgraded my WRAP board to OpenBSD 3.7. The board has a Wistron CM9 mini-PCI card, which has an AR5213 chipset, and is supported by the ath(4) driver as an AR5212. Everything seems to work fine until a few minutes after booting, at which point the WRAP board crashes. All I can see on the (serial) console is ``fatal page fault''. I have seen one other email to the OpenBSD lists about this problem, but that got no replies. I was wondering whether this is a known problem, and whether a fix exists.

Sound advice. But in addition to that, I noticed you have disk offsets starting at zero. On various patforms this is a problem, because you did not run fdisk.

Definitely, and if I ever bumped into the bug and could figure out what was wrong, I'd submit a bugreport.

Naturally, good system adminstration would want to use that space and have the proper quotas/monitoring in place to alert when things get too close to being full. 5% of even 10GB, IMHO, is wasted space. I never used it, but looking at the man page, doesn't it say to use tunefs to set this properly instead? Also from man 8 tunefs for the -m switch I see: -m minfree This value specifies the percentage of space held back from nor- mal users; the minimum free space threshold. The default value used is 5%. This value can be set to zero; however, a factor of up to three in throughput will be lost over the performance ob- tained at a 5% threshold. Note that if the value is raised above the current usage level, users will be unable to allocate files until enough files have been deleted to get under the higher threshold. Specially the "a factor of up to three in throughput..." would tell me not to play with it. Don't get me wrong, I really don't know and never try to change the setting, but may be you may be able to do what you want by using the tunefs -m instead. Worth the try I think, but might be interesting to also do tests in performance to see if the saving of space is worth the degradation in performance the man page indicate it might have. Hope this help some anyway... Best regards, Daniel
openntpd and access
I am using obsd 3.7 with a update to 3.7-stable. I am using the stock ntpd.. I have several Cisco boxes that need to sync off of this obsd box for NTP and they are seeing connection refused. I enabled time (udp/tcp) in inetd.conf and gave it a HUP. Still cisco sees 'connection refused'. So then I tried installing NTPD and running that instead. This time, it works...so..I know something is not happy with OpenNTPD... What do I need to do to permit OpenNTPD to allow the cisco to use it? my ntpd.conf file is generic and I dont have any ACLs setup. Thanks in advance guys -- J.D.

Re: openntpd and access
By default, OpenNTPd doesn't listen on any port, it just acts as a client for the local machine only. In order for it to serve time to other machines on your network, you must uncomment the listen * line in /etc/ntpd.conf, then send a SIGHUP to ntpd, or restart it, in order for it to listen on port 123. time in inetd.conf refers to the UNIX time protocol on port 37, which doesn't really have anything to do with ntp. Uncomment the listen * line in /etc/ntpd.conf and then it'll allow any box to sync time with it. Jason On 6/26/05, J.D.

Re: openntpd and access

SH programming
Ok, so this is not really an OpenBSD question but I am doing this on an OpenBSD system and I am about to lose my mind... I have done some basic shell scripting before but I've not had to deal with actual integer math before and now it is killing me. The script takes a parameter in (year number) and is supposed to subtract 1900 from it and then multiply the result by 365. (This is part of a larger script that deal with converting dates to a single numeric value, but this one problem is an example of the problems I am having with this entire script.) So, this is what I have: #!/bin/sh month=$1 day=$2 year=$3 dayscount=$(expr ($year - 1900) * 365) echo $dayscount exit This will generate a "syntax error: `$year' unexpected" error. I have tried all sorts of variations and I am not getting it!!! HELP!!! BTW, obviously I need a good book on SH programming. Any suggestions? Thanks, Peter

HELP!!! man sh says arithmetic expressions take double parens: dayscount=$((($year - 1900) * 365)) don't forget about leap years. -- And that's why we need security.

Umm, I know for the kernel, we're supposed to use GENERIC if we want to report a bug, but I did not realize that this carries through to the userspace as well. The only reason I reported it is because I it was a bug I've never seen before, and I figured you guys might be interested.

Would have posted dmesg, but I figured it wasn't necessary. If this is not a known bug, and if there's any interest in a dmesg at all, I'll post it. Thanx. -Tai

Traditional Bourne shell doesn't have arithmetic substitutions so it would be done with expr like this: dayscount=$(expr $(expr $year - 1900) \* 365) or even: dayscount=`expr \`expr $year - 1900\` \* 365` This only matters if your script needs to be portable. -- stephen

Does openbsd support LVM?
Hello, everyone. I am wondering that openbsd supports LVM(Logical Volume Manager). Does openbsd support LVM?
