Re: Function prologue and epilogue.
Hi, your code seems fine. There is no OpenBSD specific conventions you need to take into account, so you don't need to find specific OpenBSD assemply tutorials (at least not for this issue). Since when you remove function prologue/epilogue, your program is ok, then I guess you mess with the ebp register inside your function's body. In any case, can you send some more of your code, so that one can check it out? This code you send is perfectly valid, though. regards, Stef

Re: A small script to find unused dependencies which, IMHO, should be included in the tree
The problem is that packages which don't have dependencies are not always of the third type, because maybe I started to use some dependency directly.

Replacing a failed HD in a raidframe array
I previously had a bit of trouble with my raid array. That is now cleared up and I need to replace one HD of the mirrored set. Never having done this I thought I'd check here to see if there was any advice on HD selection. Natrually the replacement HD will have to be at least the same size as the original. But are there any restrictions on HD geometry? It naively makes sense to me to try match things as closely as possible. Or am I way off base here? Thanks in advance.

I wasn't able to figure out why. At the moment I'm playing around with grub and lilo to find out if these have the same problem with the wrap system.

But are there any restrictions on HD geometry? Sector size is all that matters. Must be greater than or equal. The unused space is truncated.

Your Mail server should be connected to the bridge interface that doesn't have an IP. Now when a new SMTP connection comes in, it gets redirected to spamd and greylisted. When spamd eventually puts the outside MTA in spamd-white, connection just passes through the bridge unmolested. Your Mail Server should always be able to send outbound SMTP without being caught in the rdr rule. As far as I can tell, no need to allow forwarding between interfaces, because traffic passes through over the bridge. Now to see if this setup help more than it hurts.

OK, so it takes a bit for me to be clued in and it's quite possible I'm still not there. Here's what I think I know. I have a bktr(4) card with an onboard NTSC tuner. I can't control the bktr(4) setup channel and broadcast type because there is no radio(4) device attached, probably? because the auto-detect of the tuner failed? My plan is to pull the card, and verify what tuner is on it. Then build a new kernel based on GENERIC adding option BKTR_OVERRIDE_TUNER and possibly option BKTR_OVERRIDE_CARD to see if I can get a radio(4) device attached. My purpose in going through all this is to capture video on my OpenBSD system and stream it on my local network to a PrismIQ media player. thanks for all y'all's assistance diana

Try the fluxbox window manager. You can tabify any window by center-click + dragging one on top of another. Typically I'll have a bunch of xterms tabbed together, and on another desktop I'll group together larger windows (such as a single full-screen window containing Firefox running in one tab, and Acrobat Reader in another). Alternatively, KDE comes with a multi-tab capable terminal, but I prefer something much lighter weight. -aar

I have used mrxvt, materm.sourceforge.net, on FreeBSD in the past and

Denial of service via FD exhaustion
Hi, The following is a known issue, from at least 2002, but I am not sure how it was resolved. Problem: The default configuration of OpenBSD allows any user to incapacitate the machine by exhausting the kernel's file descriptor (FD) table. By default the kernel allocates 1772 FDs (kern.maxfiles). OpenBSD allows limits to be placed on the number of FDs a process can use and the number of processes a user can run. Hence, the number of FDs that a user can allocated is max_processes x max_num_fds_per_proc, which greatly exceeds 1772. When all FDs are used up, not new process can be created, no one can log in, and no files can be opened by running processes. That is, unless the offending processes are killed, the system has to be rebooted, which cannot necessarily be done in a clean manner if no one else can log in. While the brute-force solution is to simply increase the size of the kernel's FD table, I am more interested in the rationale behind the present default configuration. Namely, 1) If a user can bring down the entire system in its default configuration, is it reasonable to call the system ``secure''? 2) To whom should I direct this query? 3) Apart from increasing the size of the FD table, further limiting the number of processes that users may run, and further limiting the the number of FDs a process may allocate, what other measures can be taken to avoid this issue? As an aside, I experienced this DoS problem first hand due to a bug in a the Dovecot IMAP server 1.0-beta3. ttyl Alex -- To put it bluntly, we simply do not know yet what we should be talking about, but that should not worry us, for it just illustrates what was meant by "intangible goods and uncertain rewards". -- Edsger Dijkstra, 'The End of Computer Science' -- To put it bluntly, we simply do not know yet what we should be talking about, but that should not worry us, for it just illustrates what was meant by "intangible goods and uncertain rewards". -- Edsger Dijkstra, 'The End of Computer Science'

Then build a new kernel based on GENERIC adding option BKTR_OVERRIDE_TUNER and possibly option BKTR_OVERRIDE_CARD to see if I can get a radio(4) device attached. As previously mentioned, I never had to go that far and under ideal circumstances it should just autodetect and attach; however, that the options exist hints that the developer(s) thought the autodetection routine was less than perfect. IMHO, it's a bit of a reach, but I would still make the attempt in a reversed situation. I can't help you much with video capture from a shell.

I tried Maxim's code modification with v0.4.2 mentioned above, but it
did not work. However, the unmodified v0.5.1 code does work as Mike H
suggested. v0.5.1 did compile, but not without warnings, e.g. sprintf()
-> snprintf(). I have never created a port/package for OBSD before, but
will try to clean up the code and port it to OBSD in my limited free time.
Thanks for all of your suggestions thus far.

I manually applied the changes from 1.22 of rt2560.c to -stable's
1.12.2.1, but I am still finding the system locked hard (unresponsive
and no visible panic) and requiring a reset every couple of days. In
addition, I often see 'fxp0: warning: SCB timed out' and, occasionally,
'fxp0: device timeout' reported to the console of this system, but I
don't know if this is related or not--then again, I don't recall seeing
these when this system was using wi instead of ral.

The USB chip provides a completely different geometry than the ATA firmware on the CF card does. That is not just because you are using it on "two different machines", it's because the USB controller supplies different information than the actual CF card does over ATA. If you use a PCMCIA-CF adapter, you'll always get the same geometry that you get on a Soekris because in both cases OpenBSD can talk to the CF's ATA firmware directly. Just because flashdist asks for C/H/S doesn't mean that the image be applied to a card with that exact C/H/S. This was the case before OpenBSD switched to the LBA based MBR. Now, as long as the CF image fits on the card, it should boot.

That doc says that: Current ATAPI implementations do not support queuing nor overlap, so the immediate mode must be used. and that: The Immediate mode allows the host to periodically poll the device to find events and examine status. So it sounds like no matter what you have to poll for the disk being inserted. It MAY be less work for the system if that feature were added somewhere and then hotplug (or something) were notified, but for my purpose, when not burning disks there is plenty of CPU so for now while [ true ]; do burn_disc; sleep 3; done is a good enough solution. l8rZ, -- andrew - ICQ# 253198 - JID: [EMAIL PROTECTED] BOFH excuse of the day: Someone was smoking in the computer room and set off the halon systems.

Re: WPA support / creating a cf image (SOLVED)
I got it working now. Looks like the wrap system simulates some kind of C/H/S in lba mode. OpenBSD is still telling me that I'm in C/H/S mode: Using drive 0, partition 3; Loading;. But more important is that: 01F0 Master 848A SAMSUNG CF/ATA Phys C/H/S 1010/16/63 Log C/H/S 505/32/63 The log values seems to be identical on every CF card (except Cylinder). My two CF cards are totally different: 128MB - C/H/S 498/16/32 512MB - C/H/S 1010/16/63 I'm able to boot both cards with the sme image (created with the flashdist wrapper script - gzip image - written with phydiskwrite under windows). I set cylinders to 60 to get an 60MB image and everything is working fine now. Btw, why do I not need to change the bios setting for the m0n0wall image? Any idea?
