now for some reason. Most people boot a Linux CD to do this, but atactl(8) appears to support the "secerase" command. There are all sorts of things that could prevent you from doing this, and if you can't work past them, you probably should just throw the drive away. -- -Adam Thompson athom...@athompso.net

That means they screwed up somewhere. Yes, you'll have to create a new account on their new system - that's kind of the point, they acquired the business and transitioned it to their own platform. I've been dealing with (and recommending) EasyDNS since 1999, and their technical support is easi

bgpctl show advertisements?

2014-09-14 Thread Adam Thompson
Is there any functionality in bgpctl(8) that will show me precisely what I'm advertising to a neighbor? If not, is there any easier way - assuming I don't have access to my neighbor's router, and they don't run a looking-glass - to find that out, short of packet sniffing?

should always produce a consistent dump. For more information on that problem, read http://dump.sourceforge.net/isdumpdeprecated.html . While OpenBSD's dump(8) is not the same program, the user-visible behaviour in this respect is fundamentally similar. And OpenBSD's FFS/FFS2 does not have snapshots to take care of this. Hopefully someone will suggest a way to deal with this problem under OpenBSD that I'm not aware of... -- -Adam Thompson athom...@athompso.net
