12/9    Another idea for the CSUA that lets you spend money and maybe get some
    cool toys. Instead of buying a beefy server (like say, a massive server
    with 20 386DX processors), buy a few cheap machines (like the ones
    mentioned below) that have good disks and work on failover / load
    balancing. A netscaler or other piece of hardware is complete overkill,
    but maybe hacking an OpenBSD box could do the trick. The idea is that

7/13    I'm thinking about getting a Soekris 4501 to replace my the P2-400
        that is currently acting as my home firewall. Has anyone used a
        Soekris system for this purpose? If so, how well does it work? Also,
        if there are any alternatives (similar power/form factor), I would
        appreciate links to those as well. tia.

If the owner of the address fails, another member of the group will take over for it. A discussion of the history of CARP can be found 21 here. As a result any process can now open a pty easily, meaning 25 xterm and 26 xconsole are no longer setuid root. This allows greylisting (a very powerful spam reduction technique) to be done on a firewall for many mail hosts, no matter what MTA is being used. Use of 50 poll over 51 select can result in better performance for programs with a large number of open file descriptors. Greatly reduces the memory cost of half-open TCP connections. Some X11 applications might need full access to the X11 server, see ForwardX11Trusted in 91 ssh_config and 92 xauth. The instructions for doing an ftp (or other style of) install are very similar; OpenBSD/i386: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need to create a boot floppy to install from. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS, use the 97 dd utility. The following is an example usage of 98 dd , where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or "rfd0a". Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust your BIOS options first. If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from. OpenBSD/macppc: Put the CD2 in your CDROM drive and poweron your machine while holding down the C key until the display turns on and shows OpenBSD/macppc boot. To boot off of this CD you can use one of the two commands listed below, depending on the version of your ROM. To boot from the floppy use one of the two commands listed below, depending on the version of your ROM. OpenBSD/sparc64: Put the CD3 in your CDROM drive and type boot cdrom. Make sure you use a properly formatted floppy with NO BAD BLOCKS or your install will most likely fail. Make sure you use a properly formatted floppy with NO BAD BLOCKS or your install will most likely fail. OpenBSD/mac68k: Boot MacOS as normal and partition your disk with the appropriate A/UX configurations. Run Mkfs to create your filesystems on the A/UX partitions you just made. Finally, you will be ready to configure the "BSD/Mac68k Booter" with the location of your kernel and boot the system. OpenBSD/mvme68k: You can create a bootable installation tape or boot over the network. The network boot requires a MVME68K BUG version that supports the NIOT and NBO debugger commands.

This file contains everything you need except for the kernel sources, which are in a separate archive. This file contains all the kernel sources you need to rebuild kernels. Using these trees it is possible to get a head-start on using the anoncvs servers as described 102 here. Using these files results in a much faster initial CVS update than you could expect from a fresh checkout of the full OpenBSD source tree. Go read the 103 ports page if you know nothing about ports at this point. Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the OpenBSD ports system. The ports/ directory represents a CVS (see the manpage for 104 cvs if you aren't familiar with CVS) checkout of our ports. As with our complete source tree, our ports tree is available via anoncvs. So, in order to keep current with it, you must make the ports/ tree available on a read-write medium and update the tree with a command like: # cd portsdir /; Note that most ports are available as packages through ftp.
