To start with, I based my anti-spam on the system described at http://www.flakshack.com/anti-spam/wiki/index.php and it works very very well. I think someone already suggested limiting the size of files that are scanned by the anti-virus, and I'd second that opinion. Chances are your boss and ever

Backups using Linux emulation

2006-11-30 Thread Michael Favinsky
I'm trying to back up an OpenBSD box using a Linux binary running under Linux emulation. If you're really curious, the product I'm using is EMC/Legato Networker. The binary runs fine. The problem is that since it's running under Linux emulation, instead of backing up /var it backs up /emul/linux/v

LMC and MTU limits

I have some DL140's running OpenBSD. The BIOS redirection stops working when OpenBSD starts booting. Kinda sucks since you can't see the boot sequence or go into the BIOS setup from a serial console. Disable the BIOS console redirection and set OpenBSD to redirect the console to com0. -Origin
