setup but I don't know.
Is there a bit that needs flipping somewhere to get the serial console
to work with crypto root? Any info or pointers on this would be greatly
appreciated. Thanks.

.
Note that I am not expecting that it be fixed, just wondering if it is
planned. It is a bit of a conundrum. I like not having a /boot hanging
out there like they do in other OSes, but how to change the boot
parameters without access to a filesystem...
Thanks!

rough searching either.
This is one of those things I'd like to set up in a cron job to run
once a day then forget about it until a message pops up in my Inbox so I'd
like to get it right the first time. Thanks!

Probably the best solution would be a patch to the resolver library that
adds an option to resolv.conf(5) that allows it to easily be turned
on/off.
The only question is would this break things? Maybe it would require a
bypass list of TLDs in a file like /etc/resolv_tlds.conf?

the way I see it. Your best bet is
probably encryption combined with some good obfuscation as to what the key
is/where to get it. Not moving your data to a VM would make some of these
attacks harder but not impossible for a determined attacker.

Hmmm. There was one small change to man.c on January 16th but it doesn't
look like that should be the problem I wouldn't think. Previous change
was back in 2013.
It is also possible it is something funny with shell expansion or
something. Which shell are you using?
I just blew away my -current machine the other day. I don't have
-current running any more so I can't try to duplicate it for you.
If no one else answers the thread on misc I would recommend sumitting a
bug with sendbug.

enough people would be willing to accept the large slow down that
would result. So, you probably won't end up with enough interested
people needed to gain any momentum.
And, as others have mentioned, it will only protect against certain
attacks, and determined attackers will be able to get around it.

ou should have some
guess as to how it will work. If not I would say start with the
my-huge.cnf MySQL config and go from there. Try to do some testing,
particularly try to simulate the load before you go to production. I'm
thinking fast CPUs and fast disks will be your best friends on this
project.

With regards to mtier specifically, I didn't see a mention of it
anywhere on openbsd.org. So my initial reaction was thanks but no
thanks. If it really is considered trustworthy by core OpenBSD
