I'm looking for a script that I can run on my OpenBSD boxes that would allow
them to register their DHCP assigned IP addresses with my Windows 2003 DNS
server. My windows boxes do this automatically and its convenient to be
able to just ping them by name regardless of what IP they have been given,
What is the general consensus on using your firewall device as a VPN host as
well? Let me explain a bit more...
Until recently I ran a pair of older Soekris boxes with OpenBSD on them.
One was my firewall while the other was an OpenVPN host. This worked quite
well, other than having to deal with
I have a Soekris net4801 box running as a firewall for a friend of mine that
runs a small business (about 5 employees). The ruleset is quite simple in
that he does not run any internal servers, so I pretty much block all
inbound traffic and allow all traffic back out. For inbound traffic I have

That's it!

I am trying to get a CrystalFontz 632 serial display to work with an OpenBSD
box. Under Windows I can just connect the display to a com port, run
Hyperterminal and send text directly to it, so I assumed that I could just
send a data stream to /dev/tty00 under OpenBSD and make it work as well.

A question to the DHCP gods
Within the dhcpd.conf file, if I have a defined range and then define a
single host to be always assigned by MAC address and use an IP address that
is normally within the DHCP range, is that number automatically excluded
from the range, or do I have to make sure th
