Introduction Le système des ports a été conçu afin de pouvoir faire fonctionner des applications tierces avec OpenBSD. Ces applications sont portées afin de respecter les exigences du système OpenBSD tel que la hiérarchie du système de fichier. De plus les ports permettent de maintenir plus facilement les applications (installation, suppression, mise à jour) et de garder un système propre. Une application portée est certifiée fonctionnelle. Un ports génère un package qui pourra ensuite être ins…

Cet article a pour objectif d’expliquer comment mettre à jour son système OpenBSD, sa configuration, et ses packages. Il est compatible avec toutes les versions d'OpenBSD. Tout d'abord, on va se placer dans le dossier personnel de root, et télécharger le fichier appelé “bsd.rd”, sur lequel nous démarrerons pour mettre à jour : (je le récupère ici sur mon ftp favori, situé à Paris)

Contexte J'ai un PC plus ancien sous Ubuntu qui sert à mes enfants. Après plusieurs mises à jour du noyau, beaucoup d'installations de packages à l'essai, j'ai eu envie d'un grand nettoyage. Et au passage d'y installer un OpenBSD comme laboratoire de développement, serveur internet derrière ma Freebox.

SSH Mastery: A Very Welcome Addition to Any Unix User's Bookshelf

2012-01-22T18:18:22+00:00

The first paragraph of this book's afterword reads:

“ "You now know more about SSH, OpenSSH and Putty than the vast majority of IT professionals! Congratulations". ”

That claim will be true for any reader of SSH Mastery who has read the book up to that point and has incorporated at least some of the elements of the configurations it describes into their own environments.

Le langage forth sous Unix Le minimum vital à savoir Le langage forth, (ici gforth), est un langage de forte abstraction, un peu comme l'assembleur, mais sa simplicité et sa souplesse en font un langage très intéressant. Il n'a malheureusement pas eu le succès qu'il mérite. On le retrouve dans tout un tas de domaines + ou - connus, machines outils, l'ordinateur des années 80 le Micronique Hector HRX (ainsi que les modèles MX bien sur), dans la boot PROM des machine SunMicrosystems (sparcstatio…

Bonjour, voici un petit script que j'ai développé en réponse à la lenteur, à mon goût, de la commande “pkg_info -Q” pour la recherche de packages. Il suffit de l'exécuter directement en ”./packages” ou en le copiant dans /usr/local/bin/ et en lançant directement la commande packages.

Using OpenBSD VMs to teach Unix

2012-01-13T17:33:34+00:00

In episode 208 of his bsdtalk podcast, Will Backman talks about how he uses OpenBSD virtual machines to aid in his teaching of a Unix course at the University of Maine, along with details of why he chose it and how it helps round-out his pupils' understanding of different Unixes.

The podcast files (15min, 7MB) are available here:

wiconfig - simplifies the configuration of wireless interfaces

2012-01-13T17:09:22+00:00

Daniel M wrote in about the wiconfig script that he wrote to handle moving a laptop between networks:

So, I got tired of doing my little time saving workarounds every time I connected to a wireless network and decided to look for a solution. Several people have posted little wireless scripts here, to misc@ and minor modifications to help simplify and automate the configuration of wireless, but the scripts never seemed to go far enough.

Frédéric Perrin wrote in with this EuroBSDCon conference report:

Back from EuroBSDcon 2011 that took place in the beginning of October in the Netherlands, I started to organise my notes, and finally published them.

Topics that where covered include OpenBSD port to UltraSPARC T1 and T2 processors, by kettenis@; the Minix 3 architecture and how Minix was designed with reliability and security in mind by Herbert Bos; NPF: a new packet filter for NetBSD 6.0 by Zoltan Arnold Nagy, and others topics: storage, virtualisation, history of *BSD systems, etc.

A Week of OpenBSD Hacking In Slovenia: Developers Report From s2k11 (Part 3)

2011-11-04T10:09:22+00:00

For a few days in September (16th through 23rd), the Slovenian capital Ljubljana was also the World Capital of OpenBSD hacking, hosting the s2k11: General hackathon, with 25 developers participating. We asked each of the the developers to send us a short summary of what happened at s2k11 as soon as they'd caught up on sleep, and several of them obliged quickly.

We published a small selection in Part 1 and Part 2 of this series, here we present the third and final installment, with insights into the development process and previews of features that may soon appear in -current and snapshots before they make it into an upcoming release.

Slovenian interview with Theo

The main Slovenian daily newspaper Delo has published their interview with Theo which they did during s2k11. For those Undeadly readers that do not understand Slovenian, we've approached Delo to ask them for permission to translate and publish their article. Even though the interview was targeted at general public, it offers a valuable insight on some less technical aspects of OpenBSD. Read more...

OpenBSD 4.9 Latency and Throughput testing

2011-10-14T04:53:13+00:00

Andrew Fresh wrote in to tell us about his recent work in measuring key performance data for OpenBSD 4.9 using professional-grade testing equipment. Andrew writes,

“
I have been working to build a new router for a customer and have had access to a pair of Spirent SmartBits SMB-600 with gigabit interfaces. This gave me the opportunity to do some testing. The machines available are Dell PowerEdge 860's with "80557,Xeon 3000 Conroe,3060,LGA775,Burn 2" processors. I tested with the onboard bge interfaces and thanks to Dave some em NICs as well.

The testing shows that with a single processor kernel for any average packet size above 767 bytes you can easily saturate a gigabit network interface forwarding packets. I was able to achieve close to 300k pps in any configuration I tested. Surprisingly with small packet sizes, amd64 did slightly better than i386 achieving a maximum of of 347,812 pps with an em NIC. Until the interface was saturated, latency remained low at less than 500 microseconds.
