flashdist-20050601 for OpenBSD 3.7

http://www.nmedia.net/~chris/soekris/ Here is a new release that works on both OpenBSD 3.7 and OpenBSD-current as of June 1st (and should work on 3.6 with one or two minor adjustments of the packaging list) Now that I finally plugged in my net4801, I was able to test and fix the stupid problem wi

Re: pppoe and multiple static ips

Even if your IP's and gateway are static, they're dynamically assigned. Understand? No? Neither did I. With PPPoE your ISP assigns you the IP's each time you connect. Sure, they should be the same ones but to your system they appear dynamic. It might work if you hardcoded the IP's but why bother?

My guess is you need to put a copy of /etc/resolv.conf in the apache chroot (as in, /var/www/etc/resolv.conf), because your webmail application is trying to resolve the hostname for the pop server.

ifnet (frequency of updates)

I am stuck trying to find a piece of kernel code. I am trying to find the kernel function(s) that update the ifnet structure post the initial boot sequence. I found the initial setup in /usr/src/sys/kern/init_main.c, and I have been reviewing /usr/src/sys/net/if.c. At this point, I am not concer

Re: howto clean disks ?

Results can be a bit, ... interesting if there is a Linux swap partition in existence. (That's partition as in DOS/Windows/Linux, not partition as in BSD) The swap is activated by default and the verification "errors" can be "interesting". badblocks probably gives better assurance that the disk is

zope apache chroot

Has any one configured Zope with Apache with chroot? I'm using OpenBSD 3.7. I already have Apache configured with -DSSL and created the certificates and keys. I can research how to configure Zope to use Apache but I would appreciate any advice on configuring it with Apache set with chroot. I
