Installed 7.2 on my amd64 system this morning. Of course, X is even more hosed than before. This time out I can't even get any sort of minimal configuration to work. Nothing. And it seems they removed any and all sorts of config tools. I managed to get something working with the commandline tool with 7.1, but now it's gone too. So I guess if "Xorg -configure" doesn't work you can just go gently caress yourself. This is pretty bad. I'm more than a little afraid to upgrade my openbsd system if X is this hosed.

So I want to build an awesome router. Due to the way our campus network is built, all network connections are exposed directly to the internet. In the dorms, they are also wired so that each jack will always get the same IP address, and elsewhere on campus each MAC address will always receive the same IP. (For the record, though this is not really relevant, wireless does the same thing.) Clearly this is not good for security, and I like my security. I'm running an OpenBSD 4.4 router/NAT/firewall in my current dorm. Works well, I like how simplistic pf is and having it on Real Unix  is pretty nice. I'd like to continue this and extend it to my entire suite (4 people, thus 4 available jacks) next year."But wait, niteice!" you may say. "Surely you'll saturate the line you plug it into and it will be far too slow for 4 users at once!" This is indeed a correct concern. I want to either send new internal connections to the least-saturated external line (i.e. a smart round-robin) or merge them into one massive pipe (it would work out to around 1.2mbit merged  ) My question is - how does OpenBSD work in this sort of scenario? I've read a couple of guides that suggest i can round-robin the connections or hash the destination interface based on the source of the connection, I'll guess on MAC address. Is it possible to bond multiple inputs to one massive interface that is then served up?What do you goons recommend? (and before anyone asks, I checked, this doesn't seem to be against university IT policy)

There's BSD on my Windoes! http://www.virtualbsd.info/ Ran into this the other day. Its FreeBSD 7.1 Release for VMWare. Uses Xfce It comes with a bunch of applications already installed (Firefox 3, Thunderbird, Pidgin, OpenOffice, Gimp, VLC to name a few) and it has a OSX style dock and theme. I like it because i can muck around with BSD from inside (gasp) Vista or OSX using Fusion It'll run in the VMWare Player (free I think) or the VMWare Workstation.

While on this subject, has anyone been able to get a 7.2 desktop going in a VM? 7.1 worked fine, but 7.2 doesn't seem to like the VMware display drivers very much. I've been trolling around the FreeBSD and VMware forums/mailing lists and haven't found much to go on.

I have a KVM switch (IOGEAR GCS932U) between my mouse and keyboard. Hitting the scroll lock twice causes KVM to switch between computers, but if I press it just once it should toggle scroll lock. My Windows box does as such, but not my FreeBSD box. Also, in X11 the numlock light is on but the numpad behaves like it is off, and when I toggle numlock off the numpad behaves like it is on. Is there any way to solve this?

LooseChanj posted:You thought a 500 *meg* root is enough? Yeah I know...and after compiling a custom kernel, it certainly isn't. But, I'm not sure if the root directory is the problem (though it is one I need to deal with still). I can't seem to copy my old kernel to the zfs partition, it says the disk is full. Is the root directory encompassing my zfs directory, even though they should be two different entities? Edit: And it appears that is the case...or transmission is using the root directory for temp space (though i know it isn't). Why are they interlinked this way, and how do I fix it?

Are you using tmpmfs for /tmp? Did you make a partition for it? If neither of these, /tmp is part of the root partition, and I can see transmission using /tmp to complete torrents. I use these in rc.conf to make a 2GB swap-backed /tmp: tmpmfs="YES" tmpsize="1024m" tmpmfs_flags="-i1024 -S" season to taste

Bingo! Figured it out. My dumb rear end did not enable ZFS to start up at boot time. So the /media folder that was there was under the root directory. Case closed. Now, my next question is, how do I delete those files in the original /media? Do I have to unmount this /media and then delete the stuff, then remount? Edit: Woohoo, looks like everything is fixed. Note to self, always make sure daemons are enabled at boot time. Ethereal fucked around with this message at 01:09 on May 17, 2009 |

I have inherited a few web servers and also have the pleasure of building out brand spanking new ones. It looks like Apache was installed using ports, and I want to keep the same config. If I 'make config' in /usr/ports/www/apache22 will the preselected options be the ones that were used last and not the defaults?

Let's discuss Compat_HPUX. We have at work an old HPC3600 box, running some simulator that we keep around. It would be wonderful if we could get rid of this PA-RISC based box so that we can move away from HP-UX. Unfortunately, given that this software only runs on HP-UX, this poses a problem. This is where OpenBSD (or others that support it) come in. However, my understanding of this compatibility layer is that it will only run HP-UX applications on an OpenBSD install on PA-RISC hardware. Is that right? IE: You can't use Compat_HPUX to run HP-UX software on the x86 build of OpenBSD. Is my understanding of this correct? If that's the case, is it possible to emulate PA-RISC hardware using a virtual machine? This thread seems to suggest not really, but it does mention some other methods of achieving the same solution, however they're all for the IA64 architecture (which HP-UX supports, and thus may be an option to investigate). Basically, am I looking at this issue in the wrong way? Is there some method of tackling this issue that would be far more intelligent than trying to get this compat_HPUX working on a BSD system? edit: This seems to be heading in the direction I want, but with no visible success thus far, unfortunately.

Having an odd problem with DNS servers on FreeBSD 7.2 i386 systems (2 virtual machines within VMware ESX) Two VMs, both running FreeBSD 7.2 i386. Standard installation, binaries + documentation. I've installed bind 9.6 from ports, have set up the zone files & named.conf. Set /etc/resolv.conf to use 127.0.0.1 for its name server (since named is running on the box locally) That much is working. On the 1st DNS server, I can do DNS lookups without any issues. I run "dig https://www.somethingawful.com" and I get an answer back with an IP address. That much looks good. I run another dig, this time for a host in my local network (which has been defined in the zone file for the domain I use in my local network). That also works, it gives me back the appropriate IP address for the hostname I've supplied. On the FreeBSD VM running named : code:code:code:Now, if I go on a third system, and set /etc/resolv.conf to use "nameserver 192.168.1.25" (IP address of cholera, the FreeBSD VM running BIND) - I get nothing. code:code:From malaria, doing an nmap of cholera: code:Any ideas as to what I'm doing wrong?

I used csup (built into the base system, unlike cvsup) and this supfile: quote:*default host=cvsup8.freebsd.org Then built and installed a new world and kernel, copied /usr/src and /usr/obj to a usb drive, rebooted, unset vfs.root.mountfrom in the loader (my system is usually ZFS root. I doubt yours is.), installed the new world over my UFS boot partition, and ran the zpool/zfs upgrade commands. Consider waiting for 7.3 if you don't want to deal with this

What the hell is up with xwindows these days? They removed any sort of config tool, so if -configure doesn't work you're hosed. Whatever version of X that's in 7.1 and 7.2 makes fbsd a command line only OS for me. I have a feeling it's this bullshit: (EE) NV(0): Output VGA2 enabled but has no modes

I'll consider the option, though - how difficult is it to upgrade? Is it a case of exporting the raid, reinstalling the OS, then reimporting it, or can I do it through some sort of package upgrade method akin to Ubuntu or the like?
