New OBSD 5.0 install, and by -several- symptoms I think I'm having a lower level 'server identity' issue. With all the years I used RH (since 4.1) and then moved to OBSD 4.4, I was *never* truly 'forced' to conform to an individual specific 'hostname.' About all I've ever run is one PC running all server stuff with not much LANning. This was the first install that absolutely insisted that I not leave it either blank, or not be able to later -easily- change it from host.domain.com to domain.com. OK so I can go along with that and set it to srv01. (I have a few LAN PCs around here but no other true servers.) By 'easily change it' I mean that I notice that install uses hostname to create several /etc/ssh configuration files.  I hesitate to -just- edit /etc/myname because I think that might interfere with authentication. Not sure, but I don't want to mess with anything I don't know a bunch about. My main concern at the moment is email, which I can neither send nor receive. Within the LAN I can SSH to</pre> Jim Barchuk 2012-04-26T15:07:54 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.os.openbsd.newbies/2320 <pre>Hi I just updated to 5.0, and I'm trying to mount an old sata drive which use to hold my home directories and keep getting the following; # mount -t ffs /dev/wd2a /home/kim/mount_point/ mount_ffs: /dev/wd2a on /home/kim/mount_point: Device not configured looking at it with disklabel I get the following, which seems rather odd? # disklabel -h wd2 # /dev/rwd2c: type: ESDI disk: ESDI/IDE disk label: ST3500641AS duid: 0000000000000000 flags: bytes/sector: 512 sectors/track: 63 tracks/cylinder: 255 sectors/cylinder: 16065 cylinders: 60801 total sectors: 976773168 # total bytes: 465.8G boundstart: 64 boundend: 976768065 drivedata: 0 16 partitions: # size offset fstype [fsize bsize cpg] c: 465.8G 0 unused looking at the drive with fdisk I can see the partition # fdisk wd2 Disk: wd2 geometry: 60801/255/63 [976773168 Sectors] Offset: 0 Signature: 0xAA55 Starting Ending LBA Info: #: id C H S - C </pre> kim 2012-03-16T13:11:58 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.os.openbsd.newbies/2317 <pre>Hi Everybody. I hope I can clearly explain my problem. I want to solve this with on hand hardware. I have a firewall/router in a locked cabinet in the basement. It's running OpenBSD 5.0 Current. I also have some 2-Wire brand 1700 and 2700 series DSL routers lying around. I need a wireless access point upstairs, out of range of a wireless card in my firewall/router. I want to run a wired network connection from my firewall/router upstairs to one of my 2-Wire routers to act as a wireless access point. BUT... I want the DHCP leases to be handled by the wired NIC in my firewall/router, and have the 2-Wire router ONLY act as nothing more than a "bridge" (if that's the correct term). Is this possible? Thanks for any input, Ed </pre> Ed D. 2011-11-21T17:28:58 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.os.openbsd.newbies/2316 <pre>test </pre> kaspop 2011-08-22T17:12:42 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.os.openbsd.newbies/2308 <pre>I'm running 4.9 STABLE on a PPC Mac Powerbook 15". OpenFirmware is set for autoboot and the boot device is hd:,ofwboot. The box boots correctly: a start or reboot drops me into an OBSD boot prompt that lasts for five seconds. I'd like to control the length of time that the boot prompt is on the screen with the boot.conf "timeout" keyword. This works, of course, on the i386 port (you can set "timeout" to 0, and override it by holding down one of the keys during boot), but macppc throws out any timeout boot.conf configuration with an error message. Does boot.conf work on macppc? If so, is there a difference in the syntax from i386? Alternatively, can the length of time the secondary boot prompt (ofwboot) is on the screen be controlled from OpenFirmware? (I understand they're two different processes.) Thanks for any help. </pre> Satyriasis 2011-06-09T15:40:39 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.os.openbsd.newbies/2304 <pre> Starting with OpenBSD 4.9 Stable (amd64), my kernel mode pppoe is broken.

By default OpenBSD 4.9 has Apache 1.3, but I need Apache 2. I installed it by "pkg_add apache-httpd-2.2.15p0" and also I installed PHP5 by "pkg_add". I add in /etc/apache2/httpd2.conf the line: LoadModule php5_module /usr/local/lib/php/libphp5.so And: AddType application/x-httpd-php .php I start Apache2 and I have this error: # emacs /etc/apache2/httpd2.conf # /usr/local/s sbin/ share/ # /usr/local/sbin/apachectl2 start /usr/local/sbin/httpd2:/usr/local/lib/php/libphp5.so: undefined symbol 'ap_block_alarms' /usr/local/sbin/httpd2:/usr/local/lib/php/libphp5.so: undefined symbol 'ap_unblock_alarms' /usr/local/sbin/httpd2:/usr/local/lib/php/libphp5.so: undefined symbol 'ap_user_id' /usr/local/sbin/httpd2:/usr/local/lib/php/libphp5.so: undefined symbol 'ap_group_id' /usr/local/sbin/httpd2:/usr/local/lib/php/libphp5.so: undefined symbol 'ap_user_name' /usr/local/sbin/httpd2:/usr/local/lib/php/libphp5.so: undefined symbol </pre> joan 2011-06-02T20:23:58 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.os.openbsd.newbies/2293 <pre>Okay, stupid question time: how do I figure out if my CPU is 64 or 32 bit on OpenBSD? dmesg and `sysctl hw` tell me the same thing: $ sysctl hw hw.machine=i386 hw.model=Genuine Intel(R) CPU U7300 &lt; at &gt; 1.30GHz ("GenuineIntel" 686-class) ... The googles do nothing for "U7300". I mean, I suppose it probably is 64 bit (Google does find pages selling laptops with this cpu and 4gigs of ram so presumably..), but what's the process here normally?

The installation was uneventful, it was pretty quick, as I expected. When performing the first boot after installation, my system was stopped, even loading the kernel, with the phrase: *acpitz0 at acpi0* I thought it would take to detect and left for 6 hours. Nothing happened. To solve the problem quickly, I disabled ACPI. Does anyone know another way to solve this problem?

If so, is the location primarily http://openbsd.somedomain.net/ ? I have a machine set up just for torrents, so I want it ready to go when 4.8 is released. Then I can let the machine run and upgrade this machine from 4.6.

The DSL provider uses standard DHCP to allocate the address, and I just use a dumb modem, so the DHCP session is done by my OpenBSD box. Back home at my base location I have a static IP and an OpenBSD based network with web and mail server. QUESTION: is there a way for my remote OpenBSD box in the other town, to send me it's new IP address when it updates it's IP address during a DHCP session? Or any other way that i can know when it's IP address changes and what the new one is? </pre> Ed D. 2010-10-24T01:23:27 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.os.openbsd.newbies/2277 <pre>Hi Eveybody, I have an AMD64 based OpenBSD 4.6 system in another town that's on a DSL account with a dynamically allocated IP address.

I'm in the process of setting up a few domains on OpenBSD. This means DNS, Apache and email. I've climbed the DNS and Apache mountains and currently climbing up the mail summit. I've never done this before and have a few questions. I'm pretty sure I want to use OpenSMTPD - it seems to be the future and simple enough for me. I've spent some time reading the man pages and looking at the misc archives but if there's a pressing reason not to use it I'm ears (okay it's not production ready but this is a hobby box ... and 4.8 is a few weeks away). I expect a handful of clients at remote locations to use an email client (either Thunderbird or most likely Outlook) to be able to access their mail on the server (received from the internet) and to able to send mail through the server. As far as I understand it I have a choice of POP or IMAP and that POP does not synchronize changes from the client onto the server whereas IMAP can. Does this affect whether I need to install any other software? I.e. if I use PO</pre> David Walker 2010-09-30T23:24:26 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.os.openbsd.newbies/2273 <pre>Hiya. Here's the scenario (skip if you don't want the background): SCENARIO: I have a friend who has a computer store. It's a Windows shop and they handle the usual desktop issues. The infrastructure was put together by another friend a long time ago and runs Linux - nobody touches it or knows how it works. Apart from running a dhcp lan for the clients they also have a couple of domains with web and mail server, firewall and whatnot. I can get some business building websites through the shop but I need to move over to a platform I have some familiarity with (and interest in) - i.e. OpenBSD. This is a big learning curve for me. At the moment I'm working through VirtualHosts with Apache and didn't get it right first time (what a surprise) and want to clarify any naming issues.
