I have no say in it; but I may have an opinion: Yes; go for it. It is comprehensible from the start; and I rather see an estimate of the error; so eventually I can still rdate when off by many hours. It also shows the regulation pretty well, with a slight overshot as to be expected. Just this morning one of my boxes showed Nov 20 09:14:28 mybox ntpd[21036]: adjusting local clock by -459.160367s Nov 20 09:15:31 mybox ntpd[21036]: adjusting local clock by -459.023878s Nov 20 09:16:05 mybox ntpd[21036]: adjusting local clock by -457.982831s Nov 20 09:20:20 mybox ntpd[21036]: adjusting local clock by -457.527840s and I was asking myself: "What does this mean to me ?" after the earlier long exchange stating that is does *not* mean "I adjust by 459... seconds now". So what is it, practically: drift ? calculated compensation value ? clock error is much cleaner, IMHO. Uwe

KBD(8) mapping question should accept "L" as an alternative for "?"
I use the es mapping, but when I install OpenBSD "?" key /doesn't
work/ (cause I don't mapped my keyboard yet), which is ok. I know why
this happens, I can configure the keyboard because I already know
where "?" is, but someone may try to search for it if he/she doesn't,
:P.
So, I suggest the following:
KBD(8) mapping? ('?' for list) [none]
should change to something like:
KBD(8) mapping? ('?' or 'L' for list) [none]
Hope you understood me, English is not my language, :P

apache doesn't interpret php
Hello. I installed a Fresh OpenBSD 3.8 in order to make a firewall/webserver.But I can't make apache interpret php. I did run phpxs -s, I checked my httpd.conf (with Loadmodule and AddType), I restarted apache with apacheclt stop && sleep 1 && apachectl start (apachectl restart fails). I've read many maillinglists and newsgroups, but the answer is always "run phpxs -s" ou "add the required lines to httpd.conf". So I really don't know what to do next. You may want to see some commands : #phpxs -s seems ok to me phpxs -s [activating module php5 in /var/www/conf/httpd.conf] cp /usr/local/lib/php/libphp5.so /usr/lib/apache/modules/libphp5.so chmod 755 /usr/lib/apache/modules/libphp5.so cp /var/www/conf/httpd.conf /var/www/conf/httpd.conf.bak cp /var/www/conf/httpd.conf.new /var/www/conf/httpd.conf rm /var/www/conf/httpd.conf.new You should copy the sample configuration files from /usr/local/share/examples/php5 to /var/www/conf/php.ini # LoadModule && AddType ok grep php /var/www/conf/httpd.conf LoadModule php5_module/usr/lib/apache/modules/libphp5.so DirectoryIndex index.html index.php AddType application/x-httpd-php .php # apache works perfectly pgrep httpd 1545 24114 31175 2918 4374 8575 2960 17642 # php works fine cat info.php php info.php ok pkg_info bash-3.0.16p1-static GNU Bourne Again Shell gettext-0.10.40p3 GNU gettext libiconv-1.9.2p1character set conversion library libxml-2.6.16p5 XML parsing library mysql-client-4.0.24 multithreaded SQL database (client) mysql-server-4.0.24p1 multithreaded SQL database (server) p5-DBD-mysql-3.0002 MySQL drivers for the Perl DBI p5-DBI-1.45p1 unified perl interface for database access p5-Net-Daemon-0.38 extension for portable daemons p5-PlRPC-0.2018 module for writing rpc servers and clients php5-core-5.0.4p0 server-side HTML-embedded scripting language php5-mbstring-5.0.4 multibyte characters extensions for php5 php5-mysql-5.0.4mysql database access extensions for php5 phpMyAdmin-2.6.3tool to handle the administration of MySQL over the web vim-6.3.85p0-no_x11 vi clone, many additional features Kind Regards, Richard.

Re: OpenBSD 3.8 & Bugzilla - does anyone have this running ok?
Hi. This is just an update to the thread I started re running
Bugzilla on OpenBSD 3.8: Possibly not directly OpenBSD related, but
it might help anyone searching the archives of this list for the same
problem.
(as posted to netscape.public.mozilla.webtools)
"An update on this problem that I had - posted here in case anyone has
the same problem and finds this thread. (Recap: OpenBSD 3.8 + MySQL +
Bugzilla 2.20 or 2.18 - Premature end of server headers error every so
often (not reliably reproduced) with no other error information
anywhere at all)
I traced through the bugzilla code with syslog calls until I hit the
offending line of code that caused everything to fail -
Bugzilla/Auth/Login/WWW/CGI/Cookie.pm:$dbh->do("UPDATE
logincookies SET lastused=NOW() WHERE cookie=?" (etc.)
MySQL didn't complain about the statement - I set all the appropriate
error and tracing flags - but it still silently barfed, so I tried
switching the backend to Postgresql, and everything now works."
Why? No idea - it works now so I'm going to the pub. Hope this helps
someone.
Cheers,

pxeboot arps for its own ip address
Hi all, I'm trying to install an older Dell system, an Optiplex GX-1. This is a 600 MHz P3 with the latest BIOS (A10) from H^HDell. It has an onboard xl(4) that supports PXE booting so I decided (after several broken floppies) to take the pxeboot-route. The system will come up and start DHCP'ing for an IP address. When it gets a lease it downloads the pxeboot bootloader from my tftp server and executes it. This looks like : 3Com PXE, version 0.99n.02 Copyright (C) 1997,1998 Intel Corporation. All rights reserved.

So there's a couple of strange things (in my opinion) : o pxeboot shows MAC and IP with lots of 0's o the system tries to ARP for its own IP My question is, does the PXE implementation of the xl(4) card suck or is there some bug in pxeboot(8) ? It manages to download pxeboot correctly, but I'm not sure if that makes it an otherwise good PXE implementation. Has anyone seen this sort of behaviour before ? I should note that I used the latest pxeboot from my local mirror, although there seems to be little change between this version and 3.8 $ md5 /tftpboot/pxeboot MD5 (/tftpboot/pxeboot) = 4d0956341ea53b9f74326b273ef9aff0 If anyone wants, I can provide tcpdump logs of the process.

With all due respect, gentlemen, I think you need to warm up to the idea that clocks do have errors, and those errors do need to be corrected. The log entries simply give you a bit of information wrt what your system is doing to correct those errors. And I guess you would need to read that "other thread" on the subject of timekeeping before you could understand this one (ref: timekeeping on Soekris net4801 w/ ntpd. 3.8.) And finally, the irony: I can now empathize with Herr Brauer - how dare you suggest my log entries are unclear! :D Seriously though - if the words "error" or "adjusting..." don't suit your notion of a proper log entry, the OP gives you everything you need to tailor it to your own liking.

Intel chipests are most always very stable performers and you almost always get dual gigabit intel ethernet on board with the P4 server boards. Obviously the Opteron(s) are going to perform the pants off the P4, but the cost will be significantly higher and you're much more likely to get stuck with ill-working or unsupported onboard ethernet/SATA and end up spending even more money on good gigabit ethernet controllers. >From your description of your use setup, it sounds to me a single of either processor will be more than sufficient.

pf and interface groups in 3.8
I was trying out the interface groups of pf 3.8, I was surprised to
get a syntax error with:
pass out quick proto { tcp udp }
from egress to any port domain flags S/SA keep state
you do not get an error message for
pass out quick proto { tcp udp }
from (egress) to any port domain flags S/SA keep state
Also as a result of this experimentation. I discover that syntactically
you
can say:
antispoof $dbg quick for self
or
pass out quick on self proto { tcp udp }
from (egress) to any port domain flags S/SA keep state
which seems to use "self" in these case as an undefined interface
group, I would have expected that "self" would have been implemented
a interface group of all the interfaces on the computer.
pf is very unhappy if you use:
set loginterface egress
After this statement I could not get pf to work again unless I rebooted.
also it is not obvious to me what happens when you use:
antispoof quick for Inside
where "Inside" is an interface group containing several interfaces. I
expect
that antispoof only works as a group, rather than on each interface
individually

Looks like we get junk at the same places, Dell GX1, G1 and GX100 systems are where I saw this problem as well. :) I've seen similar problems on fxp cards, however most of those are flash upgradable, whereas 3Com cards don't seem to be. The PXE ROMs of that vintage didn't seem very good... Our PXE boot process seems to work better on newer-vintage ROMs than it does on these first-generation products. I have placed some of these cards in the Right Person's hands to see if it can be improved, but that person has been pretty busy lately... The good news is, 3Com has a PXE boot floppy that works for almost all their Ethernet cards (inc. ISA products), free for the download. All things considered, /for my uses/, the floppy (or burning it to a bootable CD) is more useful than the boot ROMs. Nick.

That is what's known as a "gratuitous" ARP. If there is a reply, the system knows there is an address conflict. Also, it serves to update the ARP cache on other systems if a different NIC takes over for an IP address (like if the system or NIC were replaced).

I've always heard Asus built good mobos, but have never tried one. My favorite (but never run OBSD on it) is a microATX board built by Biostar - M7NCG 400 (< $65 @ pricegrabber). It's got sound, graphics & networking built-in, and uses an Athlon processor. I put mine in an Antec 'Aria' case which has a nifty little CF slot on the front panel. It's not a server-class mobo, but I think it makes a great low-cost, lightweight desktop. Jay

Re: Motherboard brands
I used an Asus XP55T2P4 for many years with no troubles. My current board is an Asus P2B which has been running smoothly since I bought it used a month ago. Only reason I upgraded was because the seller threw in a nice 4U rackmount server case for free! The XP55T2P ran OBSD from v2.7 through v3.7. Speaking strictly for myself I have always found them to be reliable. Steve

Life isn't that simple. I suspect almost every manufacturer of almost every product has had good, if not wonderful products, and real stinkers. One of my favorite examples goes back 20 years in the hard disk world: one of the worst disks I remember seeing was the Seagate ST225 (20M, whoo!). One of the best was...the Seagate ST225. The difference? The early ones were cutting edge, and it showed. The final ones were trailing edge and it showed. All the bugs were worked out of their manufacturing process, and they just worked (and they would probably still be working today, if 20M wasn't such a joke anymore...) There may be some "Never buy" brands out there, but there are unlikely to be any "always safe". In the computer industry, by the time you can say with certainty that a particular product is good and reliable...it has been discontinued for six months (or if you are worried about reliability, more like two years). You need longer to verify this than the life cycle of the product will give you. Just to add insult to confusion, one little driver change could make the difference between a nearly useless board (on say, OpenBSD 3.7) and a very solid board (on 3.8 or -current). Take the frustrated word of someone about the old release, you may be cheating yourself out of a good thing. This certainly isn't an OpenBSD issue -- I'm sure a lot of people remember the i810 headaches with Win(crash!)do(crash!)ws 9(Crash!)8, but Windows 2000 ran for months at a time on such a system... (insert statistics lesson about how one experience with a sample of one is not always portable to an entire class of products here) Get used to it, that's just the way it is. You will have to spend some money, hope for the best, and roll with it if it doesn't work out. Either that, or accept very non-cutting edge stuff you find in the surplus bins of the world, and hope it was well-treated in those surplus bins (it wasn't). Nick.

Used the default config file it generates and its just the same. I figure thats what xorgcfg does to get its basic values when starting (in GUI mode anyways). About the only difference is when I do it that way, it doesn't exit with signal 11, but rather, cannot connect to xserv, and something about the xserv is already runnning, but its not. Not in the ps output anyways. Thanks F

There are some 80 files in //storage/PUBLIC, so I don't expect shlight to open much more than that. The kern.maxfiles option is set to 1770 or so and the per-process limit is set to 1023.

Asus have a good track record and generally build good stuff. It seems that guy just had a bad experience.
bridge and Spanning Tree, WAS Re: Help with bridging firewall failover w/ CARP, OpenBSD 3.7
All, I set up failover of two redundant bridging firewalls using the Spanning Tree Protocol options in bridge, and it worked great. However, when testing failover, it takes between 45 seconds to more than 3 minutes for traffic to start flowing again. The interfaces themselves change state in the expected timeframe, though. The entire network is unmanged switches, and my guess is that the delay is due to waiting for all the ARP caches to clear. Does this sound reasonable? To help, I set the bridge cache to flush every 20 seconds instead of the default 240. It seems to help somewhat. I'm concerned though--is this too frequent? This is the /etc/bridgename.bridge0 file of the master: add fxp0 add rl0 blocknonip fxp0 stp fxp0 stp rl0 maxage 5 hellotime 2 priority 100 ifcost fxp0 100 ifcost rl0 55 timeout 20 fwddelay 7 up Thanks, Ramsey
