vic(4) problems with Dec 11th snap
Has anyone else had problems with vic(4) in the Dec 11th i386 snap? I
have a guest on ESXi 3.5 that I upgraded from 4.3 to 4.4-release and
it was working fine, but then I upgraded to the latest i386 snap and I
no longer saw any traffic to/from the guest when viewing tcpdump, even
on other guest VMs on the same host. To clarify I only saw outgoing
ARP requests (from the guest itself), no incoming traffic what so
ever. No ARP replies, no broadcast, nothing... none of the other
guests saw the outbound traffic.
Disabling ACPI made no difference (was the only thing I could think of
based on a diff of the dmesgs).
I rolled back to the 4.4-release kernel and it worked fine.

I've managed to build a -stable release. I haven't tried running X, but just being able to compile is good enough for now. The settings i used that work on my machine are VirtualBox' defaults except for turning on VT-x/AMD-V, and within the VM i added softdep to the mount options in fstab. Enabling the VT instructions is recommended regardless of what hypervisor is being used (at least, among the commercial ones). It will result in noticeably better performance overall. At least, this has been my experience with VMware and comments from Microsoft seem to indicate the same of Hyper-V and other hypervisors in general. For those who don't follow VMware closely, ESXi (the VMware Infrastructure hypervisor) is now free. It comes with the VMware Infrastructure Client and the VMware Infrastructure Update utility. I would recommend it for anyone who is building a dedicated Virtualization Host. VMware Server is only necessary if you actually want to use the "host" OS and occasionally run guests. Of course, the hardware supported by ESXi is a little bit more limited, since it's geared for server platform hardware. You'll want to make sure the BIOS and firmware for all the underlying gadgets has been upgraded to the latest (RAID controllers, etc). -- bk
Is it possible to increase wscale multiplier?
I'm probably ignorant, but I can't seem to find a way to increase the window scaling multiplier on an OpenBSD client. It's always zero. It seems the only significantly value for net.inet.tcp.rfc1323 is 0 (disabled) vs. non-0 (ws=0). Am I missing something? -- bk

You'll never see a scale size larger than zero unless the involved program sets a socket receive buffer size larger than 64KB before calling listen() or connect(), that being the value from which the receive window size is derived. so in other words, if you want wscale to be able to go to 1 but for things who don't support wscale you want to retain the same current functionality, add 65536 to the current value of whatever (send|recv)space you're talking about. wscale of 2? add 131072 from the baseline, etc. go too high and stuff won't work at all -- jared Great, thanks for the pointers! I'm trying to fiddle with iperf performance testing going to a Linux box. tcpbench works great on OpenBSD, but it seems iperf is the only thing readily available for Linux that is also on OpenBSD.

I copied ssi to a cgi-bin directory inside my document root and added - c '/cgi-bin/*' to thttpd command line. It parses SSI statements intended for Apache just fine, with the slight nit that it expects the path to be relative to the cgi-bin when I use "virtual" as the include type. I just created hardlinks to the included files and that solved the problem. Thanks for the super-fast response!!! As a silly aside, thttpd saved my tunnelbroker.net account.

This battle has been fought and lost already. E-mail is the de facto way to collaborate, and that includes collaborating with documents and files. If you weren't supposed to send or receive binary attachments, e-mail clients wouldn't allow it (nor MTAs, for that matter). Even UNIX command line e-mail clients have had this capability for... what, decades? Stop crying about your made-up rules that the protocol standards don't seem to agree with. There are a bunch of neat products out there that can strip _large_ attachments off and place them on a secure webserver, but these are not a reasonable way to send _every_ attachment.

OpenBSD seems to detect both drives (sd0 and sd1) but not place them in the list to select from. That's weird. I have a nearly identical machine with almost the same configuration. The only difference without checking dmesg line-by- line is that mine has one disk drive rather than two. I'll check my dmesg when I get home. I was able to install a 4.5-beta snapshot on it without issue. I also booted it off a 4.4 snapshot a few months ago, but I didn't attempt an install (just zero'd the disk), so I couldn't tell you whether it gave me the option to install on disk or not. -- bk

OpenBSD/amd64 on VMware = sloooooow?
OK, so just to be clear I'm not a terribly clever person. I have no idea what I should be looking for to diagnose this issue. It's entirely possible that I have something configured stupidly/wrong, etc or that the answer is right in front of me, but I wouldn't know. I've done a little googling and all I came up with was: http://archives.neohapsis.com/archives/openbsd/2005-11/1349.html which went completely un-answered (at least on-list). The OP and I conversed off-list a few weeks ago and he mentioned that the situation is still the same for him (same as I'm seeing). Summary: - 64bit host OS (SLES 9) running on 2 dual-core Opteron 265s - VMware Server 1.0.1 build 29996 - OpenBSD/i386 works fine - OpenBSD/amd64 is slow as hell - MP/UP kernel makes no difference - one CPU or two CPUs makes no difference I've tried 4.0-release, then a snapshot from a few weeks ago, now running with -current GENERIC.MP kernel (as of last night). That kernel took about 22 hours to build, BTW--that's slower than my SPARCstation 5. Right now it's churning away on make depend for GENERIC (UP) and it's been doing so for over 128 minutes. Does anyone have *any* idea why compiling would be so slow on this setup? Services respond fairly quickly (ssh, etc) but running make or cc takes ages.

Poor performance with gem(4)? (reposted from ppc@)
(sorry for the repost, I guess there aren't many eyes on ppc@) Has anyone else noticed extremely poor performance with gem(4) devices, particularly on the Mac Mini G4? dmesg is below, but the summary is that I have a gem(4), and after finally being fed up with the poor performance I plugged in an old axe (4) that I had lying around: gem0 at pci2 dev 15 function 0 "Apple Uni-N2 GMAC" rev 0x80: irq 41, address 00:0d:93:60:bd:36 bmtphy0 at gem0 phy 0: BCM5221 100baseTX PHY, rev. 4 axe0 at uhub5 port 2 configuration 1 interface 0 axe0: Linksys USB 2.0 10/100 ethernet controller, rev 2.00/0.01, addr 2, AX88172, address 00:10:60:25:d0:17 rlphy0 at axe0 phy 3: RTL8201L 10/100 PHY, rev. 1 Using scp(1) on the local network I was seeing about 100KB/s transfer rates (according to scp(1)). I was also noticing that large images were taking a long time to load on the websites I am serving off this machine, even for machines directly connected to the same 100baseTX switch. I ruled out the hard drive as the performance problem by doing several scp operations to /dev/null. The transfer rate was exactly the same. I also noticed that if I had a long-running scp transfer that responses to keyboard input were sluggish, both on the directly attached keyboard & mouse, and through ssh sessions. So I plugged in the axe(4) and repeated the tests, and I was getting 2MB/s - 4MB/s. Still terrible, but much better than the built-in gem (4). All images on the website load *immediately* now, very, very noticeably faster than previous. There is also no sluggishness when the network is busy. Are there any known problems with gem(4) on Macs, or is this likely a case of bad hardware? The cable and switch are both fine. I'm using the same connections with the axe(4) and it's working fine (although at expected USB speeds).

Whether or not buying and off-the-shelf solution is better than building one in-house entirely depends on the relative cost of each solution. Off-the-shelf tends to cost more to acquire, but usually costs less in administration. Most of the cost of any software usually isn't what it costs up-front to purchase it, but rather what it costs to maintain it--how much do you have to pay people to make sure it keeps working and that you can upgrade it in the future? If someone very clever builds something from scratch, but then leaves, who is going to keep it running? How much do they need to pay to retain someone who understands the home-grown solution, vs. how much would they need to pay someone to just click buttons? How many hours will it take to maintain a home-grown solution vs. just clicking buttons? When there's a problem, how long will it take the staff to fix it vs. just calling tech support for the company you bought software from off-the-shelf? There's a lot more to cost than just the initial price tag, and the value in terms of cost-savings in other areas is something else to consider--would a commercial product block more malware, have less false-positives, be able to comply with government regulations, etc?

Also, developers for Linux are cheaper (and more plentiful) than developers for BSD. The company I worked for considered switching our appliance OS to a *BSD from Linux, but in the end we decided that commercial support was too important to ignore. If you were building a firewall/proxy type of appliance, OpenBSD would probably be fine (actually preferable, since Netfilter/iptables is crap). If you're building something that needs to use a lot of third-party commercial software in addition to your own code, sadly Linux is currently a better choice. I personally cannot stand Linux, but even I consider Linux a safer choice for an embedded OS right now (safer as in: you won't have to struggle for weeks to get your software to even run on it).

This means you can choose hardware that runs openbsd without issues, unless you need the most cuttng edge hardware. We have two of your Edge boxes at work, and from what I can see, you can get that, or equivalent hardware running openbsd without problems. It depends what hardware. We *could* find hardware that runs with whatever OS we choose, but the OS then dictates the hardware and we wouldn't be able to change easily. We rev our hardware from time to time and usually jump to something fairly recent and with a fair amount of embedded chips (we try to use what's already on the motherboard as much as possible). Using *BSD would lock us down to only chipsets that don't depend on blobs. Yes, we know blobs are bad but we're also trying to get hardware rev'd as quickly as possible with minimal amounts of tweaking. If we ever need to say, switch RAID controllers quickly because of shortages, or our motherboard supplier swaps in a new model with embedded 10GigE NICs or something like that, chances are there won't be an open-spec driver, but there will probably be a binary from the manufacturer pre-compiled for Linux. and a lot of the Anti-Virus vendors supply Linux binaries, but no BSD binaries. Now, this, I believe. But many of the smaller vendors have binaries for freebsd, and I'm also quite sure someone the size of Tumbleweed can get binaries for whatever platform you guys want. Maybe not as easily. I might be wrong too :) Ask CipherTrust (well, SecureComputing now) how they run their AV engines. IronMail is based on FreeBSD and uses Linux binary compatibility for their AV engines--I know this for a fact, because I worked for them. Most of my recommendation for sticking with Linux was due to my experience at CipherTrust. Messaging security companies might make 50-100M a year, but that's scratch to Symmantec, McAfee, Trend, etc. They're multi-billion dollar companies from direct AV sales alone. They don't *need* e- mail security companies for revenue. If they have something off the shelf, sure they'll sell it... they're not going to do a new build just for a single vendor (and if they would, they'd pass the cost on to us which would kill margins). Also, developers for Linux are cheaper (and more plentiful) than developers for BSD. This, I have to disagree with. Are you talking about kernel hackers? If so, I'd think they cost about the same. If you're talking about application developers, what really is the difference between someone who writes an application in openbsd, versus one who writes it in solaris or aix or linux?! And if you believe in java, openbsd 4.0 runs jdk 1.5 :) We do some limited kernel work, mostly around file system debugging. When you have something that causes the I/O loads of a high-end e- mail relay, you really rely on the file system a lot and interesting things happen when it goes wrong. The rest of it is user-land stuff, but we (and many companies like us) leverage Java heavily. We've found that performance-tuning Java can make a big difference for various things (mostly our other products, not so much for e-mail) so running it on a platform where a lot of other companies are doing the same thing gives us a shared pool of experience to tap into. Never underestimate the power of a few snippets of example code found through Google. Could we run Java and PHP on OpenBSD? Sure. The setup just wouldn't be quite the same and developers would have to relearn things. Also, as much as Sun would like us to believe that it works the same everywhere, that's just not true. There are platform-specific quirks and if developers already have a background with the quirks on Linux, it helps. The company I worked for considered switching our appliance OS to a *BSD from Linux, but in the end we decided that commercial support was too important to ignore. "Commercial support from large vendors?" Probably so. And I have no idea how good is the commercial support from the smaller vendors listed on openbsd's site either. Mostly on the hardware side. It's a lot easier to get a binary driver for Linux for some brand-new hardware than it is to get a source driver for *BSD. Other than the hardware, we actually get commercial support and can open bugs with our Linux supplier. It's not really a question of how technically competent the support is from OpenBSD consultants, it has a lot more to do with how available the support is, how likely it is that the support

There ARE a number of vendors selling OBSD solutions, actually. One I remember running across is LOK Technologies. Drivers should NOT be an issue - you're building an appliance, it should be pretty simple to picl compatible s/w. Lee It's not to say there aren't vendors out there using non-Linux platforms for their appliances. I mentioned CipherTrust, but they also ran into some OS-specific issues when dealing with their DB vendor... IronPort is also based on FreeBSD, but their choice of AV engines is apparently pretty restricted. Why else would they still only have Sophos after all these years, while every other e-mail appliance vendor has multiple AV choices? My guess is they can't use Linux binary compatibility because of the extent they've hacked their kernel and FS. Maybe that's not true, but you have to wonder why they don't have McAfee or Kaspersky or Panda, etc. Borderware also uses a FreeBSD based platform, but they're a little different because they started with that for their firewall product (a reasonable choice) and extended it to e-mail later when they built a product for that. I might also point out that it took over 4 major revisions of their e-mail software to get it anywhere near stable on top of their OS. As for the drivers... like I said, it restricts options. Our entry- level box at one point had a built-in RAID controller that was one of those pseudo-hardware controllers that was really run by a binary blob. That wouldn't have worked on OpenBSD. The motherboards we currently use have built-in nForce ethernet chips, which only became supported in 3.9. We use them for secondary/tertiary interfaces (it's basically a "free" feature that customers get). Our other options would be to select a motherboard that didn't use "blob- dependent" chipsets, or put riser cards and separate PCI cards in, or just simply ship with less features. That would either be more expense, or less value for our customers. It would also add time to our release cycle by having to test more hardware before we settle on a final design. It might seem like a small amount of time, but a few extra combinations means a few extra weeks of QA time, and possibly engineering would have to delay coding while waiting on the final hardware config, etc... QA is actually a lengthy process in appliance design, so any added complexity in the test matrix has a negative impact on projects very quickly. It's not to say it couldn't be done: It absolutely could be. It's just that it wouldn't be zero cost, and why would we do that unless we had to? There are lots of ways to do anything. In the end it depends what goal you're trying to achieve. If your goal is to use your favorite operating system for the project, that's certainly doable. If your goal is, hypothetically say, minimizing time to market while keeping a lid on engineering and QA costs, your OS selection might look a little different. It's just simply a matter of using the right tool for the right job. If you're trying to do heavy-duty packet filtering VPN end-points, or routing (where most of the code is leveraging built-in tools), a *BSD is probably a good choice. If you just need a platform to load a bunch of software on top of, some of which is third-party commercial stuff, *BSD is not going to be your best choice. As an aside, it seems like there are a fair number of us OpenBSD users here in Silicon Valley. Lots of us have been individually lobbying various hardware manufactures, most of which are headquartered in this area, to release documentation for their products. I think it might be more effective if we combine efforts and started pressing to get in-person meetings with folks in product marketing at some of these companies. If we could get 2 or 3 of us who are pretty well versed in the business side of technology to present well-reasoned arguments for why it would benefit these companies to have their hardware more widely supported, we might begin to see some cracks in the blob armor. Is anyone else local here interested in starting an unofficial lobbying group to put together some position points as to why hardware vendors should release documentation and start trying to schedule some meetings with vendors?

It seems like whatever IP you're making that query from originally
isn't in "localnets" (hence, no recursion). Try manually adding your
subnets to the ACL, for instance 192.168.0.0/16; (or whatever your

Unless my understanding is very wrong, the whole effectiveness of the solution depends on the spammers not realizing the difference between a "normal" MTA and one that greylists. If a spammer knows I am running spamd because he can detect it, and then disconnects, no spam makes it througg -- no spam is delivered. There is no workaround for the spammer, except to act as a regular "follow the RFC, and retry", which most of the spammers don't do (and which we want them to do, since then they are easier to fight). In fact, there are spammers who ARE noticing that greylisting servers look (or behave) different, and they are disconnecting and not sending spam through them. Thus, no spam is delivered. But you don't get it, do you? Stopping spam from being delivered is the reason for doing all this in the first place! You have it entirely backwards. I think you had better book yourself into a course on logical thinking. To clarify a bit, I was referring to the greylisting portion. If the spammer attempts their delivery again, they're considered "proper MTA" and therefor "not a spammer", correct? True, once they're going to spamd it's too late (I guess this is the case if an DNSBL is being used to just skip the whole greylisting step?). I haven't looked at the implementation in OpenBSD extensively, but at a basic level there are two portions, the greylist function, and the "waste their time" function, yes? I'm talking about bypassing the first, not the second. Even in the second case, if the spammer notices they're connecting to something that will waste their (bot's) time, they can simply disconnect and use the bot's resources to do something else. Not the the spammers really care about wasting resources *that* much since they don't have to pay for them (or very little for a bot herd compared to "bulletproof hosting"), but it could make them a little more efficient. The history of fighting spam has tended to show that if any form of combating spam becomes too effective (and wide-spread), spammers will invest effort figuring out how to defeat it.

Unless my understanding is very wrong, the whole effectiveness of the solution depends on the spammers not realizing the difference between a "normal" MTA and one that greylists. The reason that greylisting has been effective is because spammers apparently don't waste resources on maintaining queues and attempting redelivery later. Why worry about redelivery to 500 temporarily failed recipients when in the same time and processor cycles you can delivery to 500,000 more mailboxes? Historically true, but the tighter anti-spam defenses become, the more it's worth it to put a little extra effort into reaching "defended" mailboxes. Also, if the spammers can figure out the difference between an error because a mailbox is full, user doesn't exist, etc and the fact that they're talking to a greylisting daemon, it's worth it to make the effort if they can bypass a spam filter, where as it's really not worth retrying of a user's mailbox is full or they don't exist. Whether it's worth retrying depends on why the original delivery attempt failed. Right now it's probably still not worth doing, since there are so few greylisting systems deployed. Eventually it might be worth it. It (in practice, apparently) matters not to the spammer if they've got an antispam measure returning a 45x error or a legitimate MTA. If you were a spammer, and thought that working around 450s from spamd was worth wasting resources on to reattempt delivery, why wouldn't you just reattempt delivery on any temporary error under the hopes that it will succeed? See above. By definition a temporary error will go away at some point if you reattempt delivery. Depends what the error was. For every point that someone has brought up against greylisting (from since it was originally proposed by Harris in 2003), it continues to work effectively. So while people adopts this sky-is-falling-spammers-will-figure-it-out-soon mentality, the numbers don't lie. Greylisting has been, still is, and will continue to be for some time at least an effective measure. This is the part where I believe I'm being misunderstood. I'm not saying that greylisting is necessarily bad, and I'm not saying that it's ineffective. What I am saying is that I think it could be even more effective if it was more difficult for spammers to recognize a difference between unprotected and protected systems. How spammers are behaving right now doesn't necessarily predict how they're always going to behave. A particular technique for fighting spam has to be pretty wide-spread before spammers will spend the time to figure out the flaws. I've worked in e-mail for about 8 years, starting with a hosting company that had millions of e-mail boxes and hundreds of thousands of domains, then two different e-mail security companies. The one thing I've noticed is that no one method of fighting spam is a panacea. Originally when "Beysian filtering" was proposed, it was supposed to be the Final Ultimate Solution for Spam and everyone was gushing on all the usenet groups and mailing lists about how great it was and how they never got a single piece of spam any more. A lot of commercial solutions rushed to include Beysian-based techniques, but eventually spammers overwhelmed it and you don't hear much about it any more since it's just not effective as spam evolved. Recently spammers have taken to sending "image based spam". I'm sure anyone who follows spammers is familiar with it, but it's pretty sophisticate and is pretty successful at evading OCR-based systems. Any way, the point is that nothing is perfect and, in my experience, you have to keep evolving the techniques to stop spam as the spammers evolve their techniques to avoid being blocked. Obviously in the case of greylisting and spamd, the goal is to avoid being put on the blacklist in the first place, and one way to do that would be resending to avoid being assumed a spammer. When I first started fighting spam, all the spammers had to pay for their rackspace, DNS hosting, bandwidth, etc and usually they had to pay above average prices because of all the headaches they caused for their providers. Now they've evolved to using botnets and the vast majority of spam comes from such systems, so the bandwidth costs are gone and the hosting costs are pretty much limited to how much they have to pay the criminals for the botnet C&C passwords. It's not a matter of cost any more, it's a matter o

It's not a matter of cost any more, it's a matter only of efficiency. If they make more money by spending some cycles to resend, they'll do it. Your average spammer might be pretty dumb, but the people who are writing their tools are usually pretty clever. I wouldn't underestimate them. OK, now please propose a solution. Obviously if anyone had that and cared to commercialize it, they would be a billionaire (judging by cisco's nearly $1bn acquisition of IronPort). I don't think there is any one, final solution for a problem that's allow to exist because of a flawed system. SMTP just wasn't designed for a hostile Internet and any fixes bolted on are prone to work- around or severe usability problems that limit adoption. There's always going to be a race between spammers and anti-spam techniques until enough people get sick of SMTP that they design a new way to send messages across the Internet. If your site cares a lot about blocking spammers and not legitimate e- mail, shell out for a top-of-the-line commercial solution and keep paying maintenance to get updates for fighting new spam techniques. If you don't have the budget, it isn't important, or you oppose spending money for such a thing, use off-the-shelf tools like what OpenBSD has available. There isn't one right answer, only varying degrees of suitable. If you're using something that works great, keep doing that for as long as it works.

int_if="xl0"
ext_if="xl1"
external_addr="tun0"
tcp_services = "{ 22, 25, 53, 80, 110, 143, 443, 554, 6667, 1220,
1863, \

udp_services = "{ 53, 113 }"
set loginterface $external_addr
set loginterface $ext_if
# set block-policy drop
scrub in all

pass quick on lo0 all
block in log
pass out keep state
antispoof quick for { lo $int_if }
pass out quick on $int_if proto tcp from any to $mail_srvr port 25
pass log quick on $external_addr
pass quick on $ext_if
++
If I change "pass log quick on $external_addr" to "pass in log
quick on
$external_addr from any to any port $tcp_services", I can no longer
receive email from certain domains (gmail.com, guru.com and
customers).
However I can receive email from my work and from hotmail. When I
issue
the tcpdump -i pflog, I do not see any (block), but I do not
receive the
mails at all.
Couple of days, google responds with:
"timeout after EHLO from yw-out-1718.google.com[74.125.46.157]"
and "timeout after EHLO from mail3.guru.com[216.151.125.108]"
If I switch back to "pass log quick on $external_addr" everything
works.
I'm using OpenBSD3.9 with PPPoE.

Kind Regards, JCR I'm skeptical of that working on the MacIntels. Looking in /Applications/Utilities/MacBook Pro EFI Firmware Update.app/Contents/ Resources I see the following interesting bits: EFIUpdaterApp.efi LOCKED_MBP11_0055_08B.fd LOCKED_MBP12_0061_03B.fd According to file(1) the first is a MSDOS executable, and the next two are data files. I vaguely recollect from my DOS days that flashing the BIOS on PC motherboards required a flash utility, and a data file (unlike Sun, where you just boot the flash updater in place of a kernel--in my weak understanding). Now there is a "Firmware Restoration CD" available from Apple that you can burn to a CD, but apparently this only works if: 1.) You have partially flashed the firmware and suffered a failure and 2.) You have to play their "power button + flashing lights" game of whack-a-mole. I profess to know nothing about low-level workings of machinery, but if these MacIntels have a somewhat PC-like boot process, perhaps you could make a DOS boot CD with the three files above, boot while holding down 'c', and run EFIUpdaterApp.efi from a DOS prompt? I'm sure there are all kinds of good reasons why that's impossible, but that's my wild-ass-guess. In any case, I highly doubt you could do this with a net boot since the firmware update does not appear to be a self-contained executable and might need a command interpreter to work.

Possible to use UFQDN for peer in ipsec.conf?
Hello, I'm trying to do roadwarrior VPN between OSX (mobile) and OpenBSD (gateway) using certificates for peer identification. Is it possible to list a UFQDN as a peer? When I try something like this on the gateway: ike passive from any to any peer u...@host.tld \ main auth hmac-sha1 enc aes group modp2048 \ quick auth hmac-sha2-256 enc blowfish \ psk "super secret string" ipsecctl complains of a syntax error. If anyone has a link to an ipsec.conf that has an example of using UFQDNs to identify peers I would be eternally grateful. It seems nearly every example just uses PSK alone, or if a certificate is used it's by hostname. PS If I place the trusted certificates in /etc/isakmp/pubkeys/ufqdn do they absolutely have to have subjectAlternateName, or is having the email address in the CN sufficient (CN=u...@host.tld/emailAddress=u...@host.tld)? Any tips are immensely appreciated. -- chort
Can't update some packages in -current due to library version
This is with 4.9 GENERIC#48 macppc snapshot from ftp.openbsd.org . I had originally updated from a 4.8 snapshot yesterday to 4.9-release, then a 4.9 snapshot from a few days prior (downloaded from ftp5.usa.openbsd.org). When I pointed PKG_PATH to ftp://ftp5.usa.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/snapshots/packages/powerpc/ I had the below library errors, so this morning I noticed there was a more recent snapshot on ftp.openbsd.org and tried that, along with setting PKG_PATH to ftp.openbsd.org as well, but I'm having the same issue. I guess I missed a step in upgrading from 4.8 to 4.9, or from 4.9 to -current, but I can't seem to figure out what I missed from reading upgrade49.html or current.html.

Individual packages might be attempting to upgrade to a specific version though, eh? I was looking for Python 2.7, but I don't see it anywhere. I had previously symlinked /usr/local/bin/python to the 2.6 version. Is Python in base now? I was told off-list that the powerpc packages simply aren't up to date with -current, which seems like a plausible explanation. I'm doing a cvs up to see if it's possible to build the packages by hand as ports. -- bk

After wiping /usr/ports and starting over from the snapshot of ports.tar.gz (and cvs up), I was able to build groff, then the rest of the packages I needed from ports. -- bk

Options for graphing pf rule matches

The aggregate values are useful and I'd also like to setup graphs of particular services, particular tables, etc. Is there a way for pfstat to graph labeled traffic that I have overlooked? I also looked briefly at NetFlow support, but as near as I can tell that's only for established flows, or am I wrong? -- bk

Are there any tools that have built-in support to query pf label counters? Is there a MIB for pf? I'm guessing the answer to both is no, so I'd have to write a custom script to call pfctl -sl and parse it, then dump that into RRD or some such.

That doesn't sound like what I'm trying to do. -- bk

Bug with PF IPv6 subnet calculation, or my brain?
4.9 GENERIC#626 i386 I write a rule that says this: pass in on $ext_if inet6 proto ipv6-icmp from any to 2620:0100:900f:c9::/56 and pfctl shows this: pass in on em2 inet6 proto ipv6-icmp from any to 2620:100:900f::/56 keep state Maybe I'm crazy, but it seems 2620:100:900f:: would be /48 (assuming everything to the right is dynamic, no assumed zeros), and my original rule seems to have 56 bits to the left, unless I'm bad at counting, which is entirely possible. Is this a bug? -- bk
