OpenBSD Home Server + Workstation on same machine?

Hello, I'd like to learn about secure networking (PKI, x509 certs, DNS, IPS, etc.) and generally harden my home network using OpenBSD. Can I use OpenBSD services AND have it act as a desktop workstation on the same machine? Ref: https://superuser.com/questions/1712101/openbsd-home-server-workstat

How to determine if WiFi AP is compatible?

I'm trying to determine if a WiFi AP is compatible with OpenBSD. For example, checking the [Wireless FAQ's]( https://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq6.html#Wireless), I don't see whether the chipset used by the [UniFi Access Point WiFe 6 Pro]( https://dl.ui.com/ds/u6-pro_ds.pdf) is compatible or not. I wan

How to rebuild the ports tree?

I'm stuck. I need to install the UniFi 6.2.26 port, I used the [FAQ to setup the ports tree](https://www.openbsd.org/faq/ports/ports.html). This seemed to work just fine. However, the last few messages in the `make install` output showed errors. To debug the issue, I decided to completely uninstall

Re: How to rebuild the ports tree?

@Stuart Disregard! I see now that the `make FETCH_PACKAGES= install` installed everything. I assumed it would get the large packages only. Looks like running `unifi info` yields all relevant info. Thank you very much for the patience and expertise. On Sat, Apr 2, 2022 at 6:16 PM Eric Thomas

Internal Logging?

I'd like to understand more about how OpenBSD logs internal events such as: - pkg_add/delete events - user logins - X session start/stops etc. Is there "one big log" where all of these types of events are stored? Or are they logged in specific directories depending on log type? Which log director

How to track system changes?

I want to have a high degree of confidence in my system's state (packages that have been added, configs that have changed, permissions changed, etc). I've read about "read only filesystems" and the pro's/con's [here](http://geodsoft.com/howto/harden/OpenBSD/no_changes.htm). Aside from that, is the

Re: How to track system changes?

Very valuable insights. That’s a great idea. The rysnc script was ksh/bash or cron? Ideally I’d like to use Python to tackle something like this but I’m not against learning shell. > On Apr 4, 2022, at 2:02 PM, Nick Holland wrote: > > On 4/4/22 11:32 AM, Eric Thomas wrote: >
