John, if you don't mind, I'll give you some advice:  Do your homework 
before posting to the list.  Your basic instinct is to click "Send" 
instead of thinking first.  I've lost count of how many of your posts 
were retracted by yourself, with a big "oops, my bad" or were replied to 
with RTFM-type responses.  I got a kick out of one retraction where you 
said something like "Sorry, I was drunk."


You're obviously new here.  Sure, it's a tough crowd at times, but that 
only happens when people don't bother reading the FAQ, or the man pages, 
or trying things out for themselves.  A lot of people have asked 
"stupid" questions or said something "dumb" -- myself included -- and 
got painful responses.  I've had my share of facepalm experiences and 
had my ass handed to me plenty of times, but I deserved it.


But you know what?  I try to not make a regular occasion of it.  It 
seems you do.


I help a lot of people off-list, and I know for a fact many others do 
the same.  I've found through years of experience there are two kinds of 
people on this list: those that need a little help and pointed in the 
right direction, and those that need their hands held for every step.  
Guess which category I put you in?  And that's exactly why I've helped 
you a grand total of zero times.


Now you have the gall to come on this list and insult the people that 
are trying to help you.  I don't think there's anyone on this list that 
sits idly, waiting for an opportunity to "pick on" or "bully" someone.  
Get a grip, get some thicker skin, and most of all, RTFM first.


I guarantee that if you take my advice, you'll find this list to be a 
very, very valuable resource.  Remember, there is a difference between 
*reading* and *comprehension*.  Work a little harder on the latter and I 
think you'll find you won't be "picked on".


Stop playing the victim.  You're not the first and it's old.

What he rather need is to boot GENERIC, then record dmesg, and strip
the kernel down according to that dmesg.

What a huge number of people coming to OpenBSD don't get
is the very very different culture here, as compared to the Linux
world.  I briefly subscribed to some Linux lists several years ago,
but dropped them when bombarded with completely undecipherable
pleas for help, which usually described nothing relevant but sounded
like a bad political bad in its intensity.

Newcomers are expected to *read* the documentation and try things,
try things several times before asking for help.  Squealing for help
returns comments of equal usefulness, and possibly comic relief for
some people.

That the BSD world comes from an academic history shows in terms
of the documentation that all the BSDs have, and Linux belies a more
active development culture, larger, at the cost of thinking things out,
and definitely placing less importance on documentation.  It's like oil
and water.

So it isn't a bug in the OpenBSD crowd, as much as the expectation
that people will work on their problems before asking, and to state
clearly what the problem is.

These machines are used for measuring and controlling. (In German:
Steuerungscomputer). Now come on. I got complaints about "wasting
peoples time". Let's not talk about things that have absolutely nothing
to do with my problem.


>> I can provide a dmesg from a virtual machine
> A dmesg from the actual machine would; really, it would.

The dmesg I provided is not from one of the production machines, but
from a VM on which I wasn't yet able to compile a minimal kernel, too.
So if you say the dmesg helps, there you are!

If I got a custom kernel on that VM (and would know WHY I had to add the
lines that I had to add to get it running), I'm pretty sure, I'd get the
kernel running on that embedded system, too.


> Because if someone simply says "this is impossible", it is only

Might be a question of culture. For me this doesn't sound "natural". If
I'm being asked a question and given (detailed?) circumstances, I'd try
to answer and take the circumstances as they are. I believe the person
asking me might have reasons to tell me that this and that ain't
possible, otherwise he wouldn't have said it, right?


> (Solving your problem is impossible. Really.
> Don't waste your time asking why.)

This is the exact kind of answer you have to expect in certain
situations. Why should I question the conclusion of an expert that I
asked? If I knew better, why should I ask an expert?

Say you ask a lawyer about what to do after you've stolen a Picasso and
while you tried to sell it somewhere, it caught fire and was burned
down. You tell the lawyer that there's no way you can give it back and
you need an advice. Would you find it "natural" that the lawyer ignores
that you said you cannot give it back and instead keeps on asking
questions about where you burnt it, what you burnt it with, how hot the
fire was, where the ashes are now and what the painting smelled like?

I am an expert for the circumstances of this very defined little problem
I have. I was seeking for help to find an answer to the question "Which
drivers are required for proper system functioning". That's it.

I doubt that this is a question that cannot be answered. And I doubt
that answering this question has to do with the hardware or what it is
used for.

These machines (>100) are not on site here. The flash mem is inside a
box which the people who run the box would have to screw open.

The one reason that should stop all discussion about this: The project
goal is to update existing systems by software only. Ever been given a
project and then tried to discuss the project goals because you didn't
find the solution (required lines in the config) within 3 days? I'm sure
I can solve this since I have been able to in the past. I was just
seeking for help to maybe find a quicker and more structured way than
"fiddling" around with the config.

That would be a second step. I'd need a running kernel on this test
machine from which I gave the dmesg already, anyway. So until I don't
have a running minimal kernel on this VM, it's not worth the effort. If
I then don't get the kernel running on the production machine, that
would be a point at which it would make sense to get the dmesg output of
the production machines. But I'm not there yet.

That's the way I've done it in the past (since OpenBSD 3.5). Because
this is a lot of work to be done each time I'd update to a new OpenBSD
version (which I admit I haven't done with every release), I was
thinking I'd better try to understand what is really required at
minimum. And then do it the other way round: Start with an empty file
and add the entries I found to be required. To achieve this goal, I
asked you folks.

What I've learned now from this discussion is: Either there is no way to
do it bottom up, or you folks

pf logs are written to be viewed via tcpdump, and it's a fairly trivial 
excercise to 
produce text output that will be acceptable for tools designed for syslog-like
formats. It's a common topic in my tutorials, variations have been mentioned

Please compare the values you used in the previous release (I'm guessing
4.9), vs what you are attempting in this release.

Since users (and developers) pretty much /only/ use GENERIC, there are
many "options" which are not optional.  We don't look for them, and many
of them are required for proper use.

Essentially, you are one of the very very few that does this.  The only
advice we can give is to do the top-down method of stripping out
options.  I know you don't want to do it, but it is what it is.

If you really want that, tell us how much you're prepared to spend, maybe
someone would be willing to sell you time to solve that very specific problem
since obviously, no OpenBSD developer wants to do it for free, as it's
considered a waste of time that could otherwise benefit the project for

(Ok, this turned out to be quite a long text, but if you truly want to
know why things are the way they are, please read all of it anyway.)

My experience is that this is without a doubt one of the most competent,
matter-of-fact and fun, in a unixy sort of way, bunch of people I've
ever been around (and I haven't even met anyone in person yet).

I have never, not once, been met with snarky remarks, disrespect, bad
advice, been ignored, bashed, beaten, humiliated or anything of the sort.

Sure, I've had ideas, patches and suggestions thouroughly dissected and
sometimes declared not good enough, but I'd expect nothing less than
the highest standards being applied to whatever is submitted for review.
The way to handle that is to learn from the experience and submit better
stuff next time, not taking it as a personal insult.

The one and only reason people who come on to the list from nowhere,
name unknown to the community, gets bashed is THEY DIDN'T DO THEIR
HOMEWORK FIRST. It is written just about everywhere, so the only way
one could possibly miss the lessons about how to behave on this list
is to not even bother to look.

Let me give you an example you might be able to relate to, because it
involves you:

A while ago you asked about a problem with mounting an NFS drive. After
some questions back-and-forth with a few people I chipped in with this
diagnosis, also arrived at by others:

8<8<8<8<8<8< (cut)
Your mountd and/or portmap most likely isn't running.

Have you followed the instructions in the FAQ? If not, backtrack
all your efforts, read up on what to do and try again.

http://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq6.html#NFS
man portmap
man nfsd
man mountd
man exports
8<8<8<8<8<8< (cut)

Your reply:
8<8<8<8<8<8< (cut)
Sorry I should have posted. mountd, portmap, and also the appropriate
services are running on the server portmap and nfsd.
8<8<8<8<8<8< (cut)

Then then next day, you wrote, problem solved:
8<8<8<8<8<8< (cut)
mountd was unhappy with my /etc/exports and wasn't starting. I truly
wish mountd checked the environment to see where I was running it from
and just told me with stdout, but for whatever clever unix reasons
does not.
8<8<8<8<8<8< (cut)

What this tells me is this:

* you don't listen to advice (several people including me told you
a service wasn't running, yet you didn't actually CHECK)

* you don't do your homework (several people also gave you sound
reading advice, which you apparently ignored)

* you do sloppy work (since mountd actually WASN'T running on your
system, which you failed to check even when pointed towards the
likely solution by several people, you ended up misleading all who
tried to help)

* you're blaming the system for your shortcomings ("I truly wish
mountd...bla bla bla...") instead of learning to do things right
from the beginning, using the truly outstanding documentation that
sets OpenBSD apart from *everything* else on the market.

* you're not respectful of other people's time and effort, which
you apparently expect them to devote to YOU for free, while also
obviously reserving the right to take offense when they do

WHY should anyone spend even a minute of his or her time to help
you, given that you're not even prepared to do a minimum amount
of homework yourself, let alone listen to advice from people who
actually know what they're talking about?

Even so, I've been surprised how civil and courteous people here
have been towards you and your numerous problems. Not only don't
I agree with your general observations and criticism, as far as
I can tell they don't even apply in your own case.

That is exactly what I've done and this led me to my first posting here,
because it generally worked fine, but only to a certain extend. It
didn't work completely. Something is still missing. With the help of
Andres Perara I got one step further, means, I found one more
dependency. After I could not find the dependency of the dependency, he

@Peter

Unfortunately I have to admit that I was a bit lazy and did not update
for quite a while. The latest kernel config files I stripped down were
from 4.3. So nearly 4 years ago. And even then I was "just" stripping
down as much as was obvious to me would not be needed for me. I
continued removing parts of the config until my goal was reached to have
a small enough kernel.
Now the kernel is much bigger than in 4.3 so I need to get rid of more
stuff than I had to before. So comparing the config files could maybe
help a bit, but won't generally solve my problem.

Yeah, I know and I don't think that this is a problem with OpenBSD.
However, I'm in an unusual situation not comparable to the standard user
or developer. I have a very special demand. I'm asking if anybody can
tell me anything about how to find out which "optional" parameters
aren't actually really "optional".

Nah, it's not that I don't want to do it. It's just that I was searching
for a better way. It seems there is none. Which is OK with me. Just asking.

Well, I'd be ready to spend money for this, if that would mean a future
change in the kernels config files in a way that mandatory options are
marked as such. But that to happen is very unlikely. So it would only be
a solution for 5.0 and it may happen that with 5.1 there is a new
mandatoy driver which depends on another driver that's included in
GENERIC but not in my configs and then I'd have to start all over. So
thanks for the offer, but I'm not afraid of working my way through this.
I was always just asking if there might be a more clever way which I
just didn't know.

Ok, so I'll bite and give you a hint, just to end this thread. 

Use the config from RAMDISK as a starting point. It will produce a
useable, small kernel.  It wil have a ramdisk as root, but that should
be easy to change. 

Of course drivers for your hardware might be missing, but at least you
have a compiling kernel.

But be warned: RAMDISK kernels miss some stuff you might actually need
or want. 

Can we end this now?

Thanks, this is probably the way to do it. Sometimes we move vlans 
between firewalls and then it can be good to remove the rules, but still
keep some macros.

I'm also planning to have the same set of variables on all 10 firewalls
so that the only difference between them will be the rules files.

Thank you very much for your elaborate solution.

To keep things a little less complex, I will probably go with includes
and keep all the macros and tables in one big file shared on all
firewalls.

Re: [5.0] pkg_add too many FTP connections

2011-12-01 Thread Stuart Henderson
if this goes via ftp-proxy(8), you can sometimes expect problems like
this, because ftp-proxy does not correctly handle the SYNCH sequence
required to abort connections mid-stream.

I generally suggest using http for pkg_add -u anyway though, it is
usually *way* faster.

"out of curiosity" was pretty clear, no?
isn't it kinda natural that people are interested in uncommon use
cases of the OS they write / are part of the community?

people often incorrectly assume an "impossible" is a given. when it
isn't really. and instead of stupid ways to work around the problem
you can give them a beter solution. your situation is partially
exactly that, see below.

the lawyer would care about the "why is it impssible to give back".
and your answers to the "why?" aren't as convincing as a "can't give
back anytjing but the ashes".

so. the decision to employ such a crippled system instead of using
bigger flash was a bad one. you can try to work around that or draw
the right conclusion - the extra cost for a flash card of a reasonable
size, yes even hundreds of cases, can't be cheaper than the (not free)
work time it takes you to build your strange images.
now with a reasonable flash where you could just use mostly-standard
kernels...

of course that doesn't help you with your installed base. the question
wether it is really a clever idea to invest a lot of time to build a
system that fits in 32M (repeatedly, not just once) versus upgrading
flash - which, yes, costs money too - is a valid one.

when the goals were stupid (and too specific, the real goal was usually

yes, repeatedly. a good move.

sendmail(failed)

2011-12-01 Thread Wesley M.
Hi

I upgraded my mailserver to OpenBSD 5.0

Now at startup i have :
Starting Network Daemons : sshd sendmail(failed) inetd
failed ? why ? Normal ?
And in rc.local we have a script that execute postfix with the option
set-permissions
If i do : netstat -anf inet ; i can see that the box listen well in 25 587
... smtp ports

If i remove : sendmail_flags="-bd -q30m" in /etc/rc.conf.local
restart the computer
and try manually : sendmail -bd -q30m tell me that postfix is running.

If i remove : sendmail_flags="-bd -q30m" in /etc/rc.conf.local
and also remove the script in rc.local (needed to start postfix) ; restart
the box
and try manually : sendmail -bd -q30m, things works well, therefore, just
after that,
postfix start automatically.

So ?

Thank you very much for your help.

Wesley.

Yes that would do the trick (in some cases the nic may need to be in
promiscuous mode while the advertisement is received; also in some other
cases it may be necessary that it is *not* in promiscuous mode)...

Only people who want to make it a bit harder for others to help them ;)
(sometimes people use lladdr or similar to change the actualy address on the
nice and might inadvertently flip the U/L or multicast bits of the address).
(and if you're using IPv6 SLAAC, you'll likely be sending that mac address to
all sorts of places anyway...)

careful with some of the PCIe boards though, OXPCIE95x aren't supported by

Every little bit helps when you are attempting to attract help!

Working on a device that will measure and control atomic energy
plants to make Fukashima's impossible may well elicit more interest
and thus potential solutions than a device measuring and controlling
an espresso machine to produce a perfect cup of espresso. Or visa
versa. Reluctance to describe the device can be taken as proving
it is a NSA/Mossad/etc project to finally measure and control all
communications.

It seems well established by now that there is no magic bullet for your
problem, since it is a problem few if anyone has had to address before
within the constraints you have described.

pkg_scripts are, as the name suggests, only for packages.
sendmail is part of the base system and is not a package.

What is it you're trying to do exactly, I'm totally confused whether you are 
trying to start postfix or sendmail.

What size do you need to get your kernel down to? If mines small enough
I could share mine but if your having this much difficulty then I

One thing to point it out:

When you are a real Hacker, you don`t call yourself one, people do.
When you are a real Guru, you don`t call yourself one, people do.

I dont have a big knowledge of OpenBSD, i must say i am just starting, but
the first lesson I learneddon`t make stupid questions on a list or i
will get a paybackIn some way i understand your frustration...

In reply to your first post, this is on CA site:

001: RELIABILITY FIX: November 30, 2011   All architectures
A vulnerability has been found in BIND's named server (CVE-2011-4313). An
unidentified network event caused BIND 9 resolvers to cache an invalid record,
subsequent queries for which could crash the resolvers with an assertion 
failure.
A source code patch exists which remedies this problem.

Ok, I reply to myself because I found something that works. I prepend

match out proto tcp from em0 to  port www \

pass out quick proto tcp from em0 to tun0:peer port www \

That's a very weak analogy. A better analogy would be

- So why don't you give the painting back?
- That's impossible.
- Why is it impossible?
- Because I burned it.

Can you spot the difference between this and the following?

- So why don't you put a bigger CF card in there?
- That's impossible.
- Why is that impossible?
- Don't ask.

No, that's not it. You have said several times that you are NOT looking
for an answer that goes "add these three lines and it will work". Isn't
that exactly adding the drivers that are required?

I am sure you can (no sarcasm here), and that you have. So why don't
you do the same you did before? What *did* you do before?  Strip
GENERIC down to what you absolutely need to have? Did it work?

I don't think there is a way to arrive to a minimal working kernel
from below that would be easier/faster than striping down to a minimal
kernel from above. Not if you know the internal dependencies in various
parts of the kernel. (I sure don't.) Some of that information probably
lives in the set of Makefiles in the src tree.

I'm wary of 24-year-olds calling themselves gurus.  I'm only 28, but for me,
that's at least old enough to know that there's a lot I don't know.  I think
you'll find most of the "serious" people on this list also started programming
in the language of their respective times about the same time you did.

The problem is not the list or the operating system, it's your attitude.  Yes,
you find yourself getting picked on a lot, but at times it's largely because
you've been sloppy.  When I get picked on because I've been sloppy, I take it
in stride and try to learn a lesson from it (at work, they apply a "Dave Riley
Coefficient" of about 2.5 to any time estimates I make, for example, because
I'm consistently bad at it; it's something I'm still working on, but there's
no reason for me to take it personally).

This is not the list to come to if you want hand-holding or soothing words to
assure you that you're master of your domain.  It's not an operating system
for people who don't like digging into the guts of things, which is partly why
it's not wildly popular.  To that extent, there's an expectation that if you
have a problem with NFS, and Google hasn't provided the instant answer you
expected, you might dig around in the (very good) documentation to see how it
really works instead of just asking for the quick answers.

To wit:

  Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for the night.
  Set fire to a man, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life.

So if you get burned over and over because of the same goof (not RTFMing),
perhaps it's time to stop complaining about being cold.

John, sorry to burst your bubble, but in your case it really must be done.

You are not a hacker.  Really.

You are not a guru.  Really.

You are a kid who is having a great deal of difficulty learning the 
basics.  You say you're 24, but I seriously doubt that, considering you 
cannot spell "narcissism" and cannot distinguish between "apprehend" and 
"comprehend".  I think you are in dire need of a dictionary (I recommend 
Oxford).


John, you are a legend, but only in your own mind.  Your gun has no 
bullets; your pencil has no lead; your tree has no wood.


You have some miles to go beyond setting up basic NFS before you can be 
called a hacker.


This is a good start to your journey:

$ man man

Thanks for the laughs.  No reply is necessary.  Really.

...which is exactly the reason I don't post questions. I know that 95% of my
questions I've thought of have been answered by a simple man page search, the
other 5% are hacked together with Python.

As far as being a hacker when people call you that, good lord that term has
been bastardized. Any punk that catches your Facebook open is a hacker
anymore.

I don't answer questions because I don't have the knowledge necessary to yet.
When I do I'm sure I'll parrot in with a few RTFMs. Until then I'll just stalk
about and read. Cheers.

Thanks for your time in reading,

John, just to put things into perspective... I know you've been bashed
quite a bit for the above, as well as for your tendency to ask first
and shoot later, which is good if you're a law enforcement officer but
not so good if you're trying to blend into a knowledgeable community
full of professionals who, frankly, are busy guys.

I, on the other hand, kind of like the cockiness you display above -
self confidence is important in order to succeed just about anywhere
in the world. Don't listen to those who mock you for spelling errors
or for having the confidence to do things and stand up for yourself
- but *DO* listen to those who, without having to, volonteer their
time in order to help you and others on this list and anywhere.

Now for the perspective part.

I, like you, started out young. Got my first computer at age 11, which
was more or less the last my parents saw of me for the next few years
or so. It also got me a good head start into the then emerging computer
industry; by the time I was 17 I landed an internship with a local
unix computer manufacturer due in part to my knowledge of low level
machine language programming (but mostly because my father and the
CEO of that company were buddies...).

By the time you were born, I had about 5 years of unix application,
utility and kernel development experience to add to my five years
of more or less low level hacking in one of the popular Z-80 based
personal computer platforms of the day.

I felt much like you do. I was on top of the world. :-)

I was young and I was *good* at what I did, and I worked in an emerging
field where there were, perhaps, a few hundred people IN THE WORLD doing
what I did at the level I were at.

Well, that was nearly 25 years ago. I'm 45 now.

Since then, I've realized that what I know is not nearly as important as
what I *don't* know.

I'm still constantly learning new stuff - every day I pick up something
new and interesting. I know now what I didn't know then - there is always
someone else who knows this particular part of the equation better than
you. AND I LISTEN TO THEM. Hopefully they listen to me in turn other times
- not because I tell them I'm a guru or whatnot but because I've shown
that I only open my mouth when I know what I'm talking about.

I'm still very confident in my own abilities though, and because of that
I'm good at selling my consulting services to those needing my particular
skill set. Therefore, the confidence and cockiness of youth are not at
all bad traits. You just need to be more aware of other things.

Don't waste time feeling insulted by faceless people on mailing lists -
adapt and overcome! Study the archives, learn from those whose advice have
proven adequate, correct and useful in the past and ignore the trolls and
those who have nothing more useful to share than correcting your spelling
errors. Fight the urge to join the dark, trolly side!

And, wax on. Wax off.


Regards,
/Benny

Re: Narcicism?

2011-12-01 Thread Eric Oyen
like any other population, we have our parrots, non-thinkers, OCD, Bi-polar,
stupid or the otherwise normal. we also have more than a few extremely
intelligent people.

one thing I have noticed (because I also suffer from it) is that more
intelligent you are, the worse your interpersonal skills tend to be. mow, I
happen to be fairly intelligent (somewhere north of the upper 130's) , but I
am not so far above the normals that I can't understand them. I have known
people so intelligent that they have virtually no understanding of how their
fellow human beings work (and I can understand that position as well).

the point I am  hoping to make is that we all have our quirks, behavioral
problems and skills (and that is fine by me). all that is needed is a little
understanding and a very thick skin.

CanSecWest 2012 Mar 7-9; 2nd call for papers, closes next week, Monday. Dec 5 2011

2011-12-01 Thread Dragos Ruiu
So after a dozen years or so organizing conferences, you
get the urge to pull levers and try experimenting with
things. So this year I sent out the CanSecWest CFP
only over Twitter, and G+ publicly. Just curious as to the
adoption and information dispersion rate, and some
estimate of the attention these newer channels are getting.

So after this experiment I hear about people having
submissions and missing  the CFP. So for my control set,
here is the normal announce message to different e-mail
lists. We'll do a Second CanSecWest CFP, but a brief one.
Send us your proposal by the end of Monday next week,
December 5, 2011.

The questions and information needed is the same as
usual (see website), also for my curiosity could you
include:

12. Where did you hear about the CFP from?

cheers,

Re: Packet drop because of invalid IP checksum on Soerkis / vr / ral

2011-12-01 Thread Christiano F. Haesbaert
I think I've found the problem.

when a packet comes from ral0 ---> 10.0.0.1, the bridge changes the
received interface to vr0, which has IFCAP_CSUM_IPv4.

So when the icmp layer is about to test the checksum, it assumes the
output interface is the same one which the packet came in (in our
case, vr0, and not ral0). So the checksum does not get calculated.

That's why it works when we remove the capabilities from vr0.

Re: pppoe

Using userland ppp, this pf configuration is preventing proper pppoe
