2007-04-30 Thread Rob Waite
Hello.. I know that OpenBSD is released officially on May 1st. I noticed however that it is available on the FTP's (all of this just happened in the last 30 minutes). I made the boot cd and then tried to install but it seems to be very unhappy. After it mentions the ramdrive... some text flashes f

Another interesting thing... I installed the amd64 version of 4.1 and it works without a hitch. I also noticed a line that says: RTC BIOS diagnostic error 80 It does seem to boot okay and everything seemed stable. I have installed win xp on this machine for a week and no problems at all. I wen

One thing I neglected to include in my hand written dmesg was that amd64 seems to use CDBOOT 1.08 and i386 uses CDBOOT 1.06, unless my video capture made the 6 look like an 8. Maybe this is by design. Anyway.. I will stop flooding this board with my messages. Sorry ; )

Why is pf blocking some port 80 traffic??

2007-05-06 Thread Rob Waite
Hello.. I just added a rule to allow port 80 traffic into my server and started noticing some odd blocks occuring. It seems that some web connections are losing their state and sending an R or F flag which gets blocked. I am not sure of the time but I think once I was refreshing the page and it s

Yeah... sorry you are also having the problem.. if you have an evening to start from scratch... I think you could fix it though. I am not sure about this moving back from current to stable. This is what I did (and it could have been more efficient) 1) Downloaded the source trees (src.tar.gz s

I am sorry to keep bringing this up... but I have still not heard any authoritative answer to my question. It seems very likely that the newer Intel ia32e chips do indeed support W^X. By newer I mean since early 2005. Right now the AMD64 page says: "It also runs on the Intel ia32e processors (..
