lo all,
i've been looking into clustering a couple dual-processor
openbsd boxen (both running 3.7-release and bsd.mp) and
haven't found very much documentation on the topic. i figured
that either MPICH2 or PVM would be a good route, but i tried
to compile MPICH2 from source and encountered errors.
greetz,
me and a C++ programmer i know have a C++ program that would
compile cleanly and run when using gcc 2.95.3 (from openbsd
3.6-release), but now that i've upgraded to 3.7-release, which
uses gcc 3.3.5, he gets errors on compilation. since neither
of us are very familiar with the details of u
heya,
i'm trying to get PVM 3.4.5 to compile from source on a
3.6-release system and have run into some problems. when i
first attempted this, i got the following error:

i got an LSI MegaRAID SATA 300-8X a couple weeks ago and i
noticed it was not quite "behaving". by this i mean that i had
a 200GB disk on which i had installed a 3.8 snapshot and i
plugged it into the RAID controller and booted the machine. it
loaded the kernel just fine, but when it came ti
jon and marco,
thx for the quick replies. this is more or less what i expected.
if you install through the RAID controller, shouldn't it
autodetect the number of actually available sectors (i.e. the
"full" size modulo that required for the RAID info)? that's
the thing that really surprised me.
i'm currently using bzip2-ed dumps to backup my machines and i
wonder if there is a better way to do it. by better i mean
more secure and more automated than adding cron jobs.
i am interested in encrypted backups, as i would prefer to
have non-hijackable backups. i did see

Is there any way of configuring networks in sshd_config's AllowUsers?
You can put in user, [EMAIL PROTECTED], but no [EMAIL PROTECTED]/mask.
Having networks in AllowUsers would be extremely usefull.
