bioctl, encryption, and keydisk
Hello list, What I'm going to describe will most probably sound very silly, but I believe I have a reasonable use case. I'm trying to setup a machine with full disk encryption using a partition of the same disk as a keydisk. (take all the time you want to laugh, then carry on reading). So I'm creating two RAID partitions "a" and "p", then run: bioctl -c C -l sd0a -k sd0p softraid0 and this succeed. I'm then proceeding to a normal installation on sd1, then reboot, and I'm greeted with the message `ERR M`. I have tried this with the p partition at the beginning or at the end of the disk, tried to change sizes,... no effect. I'm wondering if what I'm trying is actually supported? Any idea? For those who wonder, my use case is installing 100+ virtual machines in the cloud with full disk encryption, rebooting them, and using rc.firsttime to overwrite the key so if the machine is powered down, it can't be booted anymore. I'm also aware that this is still vulnerable to an attack from someone who's in control of the host machine. -- Étienne

Keyboard mapping in X with Yubikey
Hello there, As far as I could find, the Yubikey is incompatible with my keyboard mapping, and even the personalisation tool can't help. So I'm trying to configure a different keymap for just for that device. That works fine on the console with wsconctl, but I can't get it to work in X. setxkbmap(1) needs a device id as an argument, and I'm supposed to find that id in the output of "xinput list", but that output never changes, with the Yubikey plugged in or out. It permanently shows: % xinput list ⎡ Virtual core pointer id=2[master pointer (3)] ⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointerid=4[slave pointer (2)] ⎜ ↳ /dev/wsmouse0 id=7[slave pointer (2)] ⎜ ↳ /dev/wsmouse id=8[slave pointer (2)] ⎣ Virtual core keyboard id=3[master keyboard (2)] ↳ Virtual core XTEST keyboard id=5[slave keyboard (3)] ↳ /dev/wskbdid=6[slave keyboard (3)] Any idea where to go from there?

Mismatch between config and documentation for dhcpd?

Re: DNS-01 challenge in acme-client

Both NSD and BIND allow you to include files in zone configuration like this: [...] The only problem here is #3, but it's possible to create e.g. another pledged process that can only execute /etc/acme-client/dns-challenge.sh and you can put all your complicated stuff there. Well, really, what you're asking for is having acme-client offload the complicated stuff (set the TXT records, then check for verification) to a script, which to me looks pretty much the same as writing a script to do everything. I believe you'll see limited advantage in having acme-client do any work here, compared to having your script issue the CSR, send it to Letsencrypt, receive the TXT records, and do the rest of the complicated stuff mentioned above. I think acme-client's value is where the certificate for a server, the server, and the verification challenge/process all take place on the same machine. But the DNS service is likely to be handled by another (or rather, many other) machine(s). Cheers, -- Étienne

Temperature
Hello list,
I seem to have a little hardware related problem. I have been using a
Lenovo x120e for some time, and OpenBSD ran nicely on it until April. As
soon as I upgraded to 5.5, and from quite early after kernel loading,
the console started showing and repeating at regular intervals:
acpitz0: critical temperature reached 93C, shutting down
acpithinkpad0: Unknown event 0x6022
("93C" is just a typical value, I've seen any between 92 and 98). I
usually have just the time to log in before the system logs me out and
shuts down. This laptop normally runs at around 80°C, and I think the
temperature reading in OpenBSD is correct, because I get similar
warnings
and temperature values when I reboot immediately into another OS.
Booting on 5.6 bsd.rd and upgrading the system went fine, but as soon as
I restarted the system, the same situation happened. Feeling
adventurous,
I tried to disable acpitz* during the boot process, which made the
messages
go away. The system ran just below 100°C (as reported by sysctl) for
some time without any problem, until I didn't want to take the risk for
any longer and shut it down manually. I also have an x100e from the same
brand, quite similar even if older and slower, which does _NOT_ show the
same symptoms. I'm attaching the dmesg and sysctl hw.sensors output of
both
machines running 5.6.
Has anyone been running 5.5 and 5.6 on a x120e? Any clues on what I
should
do to diagnose the problem any better?
Cheers!

So running on another OS for a longer time has the temperature of your

just
a coincidence.
Just make sure the fan does not turn (by blocking it with a toothpick
or
the like) when blowing compressed air through the case or vacuuming out
dustbunnies so the bearing does not get damaged.
Thanks everybody for the feedback and advices. I think it's fair to
conclude my machine has a unique problem not related to the model (I
bought it as a used machine, maybe the previous owner messed something).
I'm still surprised by the 20°C difference between OpenBSD and Linux,
and by the fact it was apparently working fine on 5.4.
I'll see how much I can clean it up/change the paste before trying
anything else.

How exactly would a different keymap be much more efficient? Because I would make much less mistakes and wouldn't have to type it so many times in a row. :-) How often do you type that softraid crypt password?

File transfer from NetBSD to OpenBSD

man dhcp-options
Hello there, It seems to me that dhcpd is ignoring "option routers" when there is a "option classless-static-routes" in the same configuration block. Ex: with the following: option routers 192.168.0.254; option classless-static-routes 192.168.32.0/24 192.168.0.1; dhcpd will start, the client will see its routing table populated with a route to 192.168.0.32, but not with a default gateway. To achieve what I intended with the above, I remove "option routers" completely, and I add: option classless-static-routes 192.168.32.0/24 192.168.0.1, 0.0.0.0/0 192.168.0.254; Now the client has a default route and a route to 192.168.32.0/24. I have verified this with both an OpenBSD client and a Linux client. I don't know if this is intended or not, but if it is, I would suggest mentioning in man dhcp-options that using "option classless-static-routes" overrides/ignores "option routers". Cheers,

There's no log, but you might guess by watching top. Are you using firefox? It handles low memory by segfaulting. I'm using Chromium and Firefox, and mostly the problem with Chromium. The default staff limit of 1.5GB is usually good for some basic text websites. If you need to look at more complicated sites, you might try raising the limit beforehand.

Although setting the terminal type to `cons25' seems like getting colored ls output, its breaking my keyboard mapping apart.. :) Regards, -Etienne
rtw0 is playing games with me (again)
Hi, I've reinstalled OpenBSD 4.3 from scratch and tried to set up networking with the rtw driver but I couldn't make it work with dhclient.. Is this a known issue ? I've updated /usr/src to a recent current tree but I'm stuck trying to compile the base system... :-) I thought maybe rtw0 will work in 4.4-current, or perhaps the nic is damaged, but apparently it seem to work well with ifconfig, so I'm kinda clueless. Any pointers how to get rtw0 working in OpenBSD 4.3 would be kindly appreciated.

I recalled that I must have managed to compile 4.3-current for that specific purpose, otherwise I'd experiment the same (moderately frustrating) problem with dhclient(8). Although it used to work with my all messed up 4.3-current, I've nuked the whole /usr filesystem and reinstalled OpenBSD 4.3, in hope that the 4.3-release iso would have the right code for this cheap ass nic card. It seems I will have to wait on 4.4-release, or perhaps I could take a guess and pick another snapshot and burn it on a cd, or even debug rtw armed with my guts and dr pepper :-) Thanks! - Etienne

I believe it used to work in 4.2 too, but I'm still amazed that neither 4.3 nor 4.4 managed to work for me with this driver. Ah well, I'm back in 2005 a.d. I'd be interested in tracing when/where exactly rtw has become bogus in 4.3/4.4. My hypothesis is that somehow the semantics of the ieee80211 stack have changed radically between 3.9 -> 4.3, thus making the rtw driver unfunctional with dhclient. I also recall a similar issue in FreeBSD 8.0, where a pseudo-device `vlan' is used for doing link aggregation. Perhaps the `trunk' pseudo-device is having the same issues than for configuring dhclient with the vlan device ? Best regards, Etienne

In any cases one is still interested in upgrading GNU libstdc++ from OpenBSD (3.9) 4.1 to 4.2 (and maybe 4.3): http://gthc.org/papers/upgrading-libstdc++-to-openbsd-4.2.txt Comments and improvements are welcomed. :) Regards, Etienne -- Etienne Robillard <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
[Perl] can't delete packages with pkg_delete
Hi I'm using OpenBSD 4.3 with Perl 5.8.8, but somehow I cannot remove packages anymore: $ sudo pkg_delete -F dependencies opera-9.27 Can't locate sys/ttycom.ph in @INC (did you run h2ph?) (@INC contains: /usr/libdata/perl5/i386-openbsd/5.8.8 /usr/local/libdata/perl5/i386-openbsd/5.8.8 /usr/libdata/perl5 /usr/local/libdata/perl5 /usr/local/libdata/perl5/site_perl/i386-openbsd /usr/libdata/perl5/site_perl/i386-openbsd /usr/local/libdata/perl5/site_perl /usr/libdata/perl5/site_perl /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl .) at /usr/libdata/perl5/OpenBSD/ProgressMeter.pm line 49. Any ideas what could cause this, or do I need to recompile Perl from the base distribution ? Thanks in advance Etienne

I don't have the base43.tgz package since I recompiled the whole base system from a previous release. $ locate ttycom.ph /usr/libdata/perl5/site_perl/i386-openbsd/sys/ttycom.ph $ cd /usr/include; h2ph -r -l . Now it works but for some reasons I had to run h2ph as above. Otherwise 'locate' would find the file but apparently it was still not in a usable state. Thanks! Etienne
Virtual consoles : device not configured, ultrasparc IIi
Hi, I'm trying to install openbsd on an ultrasparc IIi, and I need to run an X server on it. Unfortunately, I can't get several consoles : # echo "Hi, console" > /dev/ttyC0 Hi, console # echo "Are you configured ?">/dev/ttyC1 ksh: cannot create /dev/ttyC1 : Device not configured Is this a bug, or is there a way to get it to work ? Thanks, P.E. Meunier
