I've written setup scripts (took a while though) for my different systems which will never be as quick as the upgrade process but I've got it reasonably quick and means I can keep moving forward like the openbsd project does, switch between current, stable and snapshots without a sudden need to sp

Google turned up Races and dictionary attacks if the skey file is readable. I imagine dictionary attacks via bsd auth would be the only possible known attack on a properly setup system. I am intending to use it as a secondary line of defense but how secure would skey be as a primary defense. Are

Apache on amd64 or i386 and bsd.mp or bsd.sp

2010-03-29 Thread trustlevel-two
I'm unsure about using i386 or amd64 for an apache/php ssl webserver with relayd and pf running. I may test both as it shouldn't take too long, but I'd certainly like to know what people think. This isn't for a system with a large amount of memory. I imagine I'll need more systems and interfaces be

I had read the faq many times before asking the question. I admit not just beforehand. I wasn't specific enough about my thought processes and asked too many questions at once, but thanks for all the insights. I've decided to use release when available and switch to current as needed. Out of inte

Apache Firefox and Ogg Theora (Byte-range requests)

Hi, The Question first (may save time) I've seen examples of earlier versions than Apache 1.3.29 said to be working with byte-range requests, has anyone got the byte range requests to work with openbsd without using php code or know how this can be done or if it works by default. The Story I'
