srouteOpenBSD is only at 4.6?
sroute fires up python
'FreeBSD 7.2 is %0.2f%% better than newly released OpenBSD ;-)' % ((7.2-4.6)/4.6*100)
'FreeBSD 7.2 is 56.52% better than newly released OpenBSD ;-)'

toddfsroute: you forgot to take into calculation your maths about freebsd and security issues vs openbsd .. 2 in 12 years, beat that! *grin* [17:08]
.... (idle for 16mn)
jeevany good movies just come out on dvd? [17:24]
............ (idle for 55mn)
sroutetoddf: I get that, no argument. But a BSD OS is more than the core... one can't just look there.
http://www.openbsd.org/security.html - a great many more than 2 security issues listed over the years when one looks at the total OS.
sroute likes all BSDs but decommissioned last OpenBSD a couple years ago
I just like managing one is all.
[18:19]
jeevi think he means by default install or something [18:22]
toddfthe record is about during a current release
aka if people updated as they should have
and also the 2 holes have to do with only remote root exploits
but still, if you compare remote exploits in the current release of openbsd through the years (2 total) vs any other os you still come up with quite a wide gap
[18:27]
mhoranSure, but Apache 1.3.29 is pretty useless ... [18:45]
ballenwhats wrong with apache 1.3?
although .29 is pretty dated
[18:46]
mhoranNo worker MPM, inferior mod_proxy, ... [18:47]
ballenmofo's rock solid though [18:47]
mhoranSure, for serving static content. [18:47]
ballenmod_perl [18:47]
mhoranHah.
Okay.
[18:48]
ballen;-) [18:48]
mhoran:)
Just saying. It's rock solid but not bleeding edge.
If you run the non bleeding edge stuff in FreeBSD, you'll be pretty safe as well.
[18:48]
ballenheh, yea I think it would be about the farthest from bleeding edge you can get
and still be using a support app
[18:49]
mhoranThere are also more people running FreeBSD in production, which exposes more vulns (The BIND effect, etc.) [18:49]
ballensupported* [18:49]
mhoranAlso, app performance on OpenBSD is horrid.
I think the lighttpd guys benchmarked it. Might have been someone else.
But it didn't scale at all.
But it's a great firewall!
(pf rocks.)
[18:49]
ballenyea pf is on FreeBSD though [18:50]
mhoranYup.
I wish m0n0wall used pf.
[18:50]
balleneven though I use ipfw
yea def a fan of FreeBSD over OpenBSD or NetBSD
and the few guys that I've met that work on or have worked on FreeBSD project are awesome
of course I've never met anyone that's worked on NetBSD or Open
so not much comparision
[18:50]
mhoranYeha. There was a FreeBSD dev on the floor I was on while at Cisco but I never talked with him.
Not sure if Ron ever met him ...
[18:52]
ballenno idea
he's never mentioned it to me
I met one at Google who was a core dev up until FreeBSD 4 or so
left the project because they added Periodic when they were already using Cron

srouteI used to be a commerical unix guy (DG/UX); even though it was Sys V R4 I grew to like FreeBSD quickly. I like how it is managed... is why I never went the Linux route. [19:41]
toddfyou should give OpenBSD a spin ... pkg_add -uri is hard to beat ;-) [19:42]
sroutewhen I left DG an 8 core box cost a few hundred thousand. Ah, the good ol' days. [19:42]
toddfheh [19:43]
ballentoddf, FreeBSD has pkg_add -r <pkg_name>
if you're so inclined
[19:43]
srouteI'm sure I'd like OpenBSD but I do more app wrangling now and the broad availability of ports is often handy. Can't disregard app performance either. [19:44]
ballenyep FreeBSD ports is the shiznas [19:44]
sroutemust admit I do prefer pf to ipfw [19:45]
ballenyea either or
pf is more advanced
[19:45]
sroutenice that fbsd has it now; auto blocking brute force attackers is so simple in pf [19:45]
ballensroute, or you just turn off password auth ;-) [19:46]
srouteballen: I do, except for one account - a backdoor [19:46]
toddfdid freebsd ports ever make packages then install from packages or does the Makefile in the ports tree still do manual mucking? [19:46]
ballentoddf it makes a pkg first
does a staged install
then installs from the pkg
[19:46]
srouteballen: I use my blocking config to block them to ALL services, not just ssh. [19:47]
ballenaahhh [19:47]
toddfthats new, they didn't used to do that, openbsd did that for years first .. ;-) [19:47]
ballenthat makes more sense
make package or make pkg
[19:47]
toddfso you could have one freebsd system build packages for a farm of servers? [19:47]
ballenwill put a .pkg file in the port dir
you could
[19:47]
srouteI even have a fake HyperVM listener running on some boxes and accounts - back when the HyperVM exploit was making the news in VPS hosting land, a few chinese dudes were trying to hack em... of course I don't run it here. [19:48]
ballenhah
why?
[19:48]
sroutebecause I can; mostly was interested to see how active the bad dudes were over that one. [19:48]
ballenfair enough [19:49]
sroutenot very it turned out.
I think I ended up blocking 4 IPs in the past few months.
vs hundreds aimed at ssh
[19:49]
ballenyea ssh brute forcing is constant [19:49]
sroutesilly morons [19:49]
ballenmust be getting in somewhere
or just script kiddies
[19:50]
srouteright now someone is trying to gain access to PlcmSpIp = some sort of ip phones I think [19:51]
ballenanyone know of a simple script that will poll snmp for a single item and update a graph with the data over time
specifically for the os x platform
[19:52]
sroutelast word on blocking- I notice less of this offending activity on my VM at arp -- believe Garry is doing some filtering up stream [19:53]
ballenyea he filters ssh brute forcing
or at least limits the connection rate
[19:53]

jeevfuck man
wayport/starbucks/att internet fucking sucks
always nasty lag
[20:11]
ballenhmm
ever try VPN'ing somewhere?
[20:11]
jeevsroute, that's what my polycom has in it's phone log
huh ballen
i am vpn'd
[20:12]
ballenah
just wondering if they were shaping traffic
[20:12]
jeevit's 400ms-600ms [20:12]
ballenand if a UDP vpn would get past it [20:12]
jeevi have to call every fucking time i'm here
i dont understand how they dont know there's a problem
and why then they always say "i spotted the probme"
[20:12]
ballenits not that they don't know... its that they could give a flying fuck [20:12]
jeevwell.. i know having 150 servers aint anything close to the nodes att has
but i can detect an issue on my server within a minute
i dont know how they let this go on so long

ballengawd damn Vim's master site is down
ports could def set the timeout on downloads to be a lot faster
also FYI: IGNORE_MASTER_SITE_VIM=YES in /etc/make.conf
and it will fetch it directly from freebsd.org
[21:58]
jeevheh
yea the timeout issue is stupid
i wish while cvsuping, you could get a real0time working list
real-time
i wonder if there are precompiled ports packages for updated ports
ahh, if running -stable
[22:00]
ballenthat the hell is wrong with fetch...
/usr/bin/fetch -4ApRr -T 2 -S 2611 http://ftp.vim.org/pub/vim/patches/7.2/7.2.052
why does that not timeout after 2 seconds
[22:11]
jeevwish fetch showed progress too..
can't tell if sometimes ports are working or slow downloads
the downloads that is
[22:12]
ballen-T seconds Set timeout value to seconds. Overrides the environment
variables FTP_TIMEOUT for FTP transfers or HTTP_TIMEOUT for
HTTP transfers if set.
the vim port is such a pain in the nuts
freaking 150+ patchsets it needs to download
[22:13]
jeevvim sucks [22:15]
ballensolution is:
add IGNORE_MASTER_SITE_VIM=YES
and set FETCH_ARGS="-4ApRr"
forcing fetch to use IPv4 and freebsd.org
for whatever reason it fails randomly when using ipv6
SOLID
and we're up to patch set 239
not hard to release a gawd damn new version
[22:18]
dj_gokuup_the_irons: how do upgrades work? can I reinstall myself? [22:25]
jeevdj_goku, there are ways you could but he'd probably hvae to start your vps with the cdrom mounted and you'd have to connect via console [22:27]
dj_gokuI don't need a cdrom I can do it all remotely through ssh actually. [22:28]
ballenfreebsd-update ? [22:28]
dj_gokuI just want to keep it as standard so if I need help up_the_irons can help me.
ballen: I use openbsd.
[22:28]
ballenawwww
download the tar balls and extract them?
[22:29]
dj_gokuyaifo
is a kernel + sshd
[22:30]
ballenis there anything special he had todo the obsd kernel to get it to run in KVM? [22:30]
dj_gokuno idea.
probably not.
I recompiled other than 1 blip, I didn't change anything.
[22:31]
ballenyea [22:32]
dj_gokuballen: all I can think of is the user that is created. [22:32]
ballenhttp://scie.nti.st/2009/10/4/running-openbsd-4-5-in-kvm-on-ubuntu-linux-9-04 [22:33]
dj_gokuyup [22:33]
ballenk [22:33]
dj_gokuI haven't ever upgraded openbsd so I don't know how to do that. [22:33]
ballenwell [22:33]
dj_gokuIf I did I would probably do that. [22:33]
ballenwhat I used todo
was litterally go download the new .tgz files
from the mirror
and extract them
[22:34]
dj_gokuon what distro? [22:35]
ballenover the system
openbsd
thats all the installer does
[22:35]
dj_gokuright. [22:35]
ballenyou may want to back up /etc though
as its a rather blunt way of upgrading
http://www.openbsd.org/faq/upgrade36.html
[22:35]
dj_gokuif there were a way to say download click this and be ugpraded I would love that :)
http://www.openbsd.org/faq/upgrade46.html
[22:36]
ballenmeh way over complicated these days [22:37]
dj_gokuhaha
Or I can backup /etc /home and reinstall :)
[22:38]
balleni liked my tar -xf base36.tgz
yea thats basically what you're doing, just in place
bring up a new vm, and migrate
[22:38]
dj_goku4 minutes to reinstall
I already moved my router over to openbsd 4.6
[22:39]
ballenmmk have fun [22:39]
dj_gokuMy router is a VM, :D
esxi FTW
[22:39]
ballenyea I do love esxi
run the fucker on a 1gb sd card
use normal local disks for the storage pool
[22:40]
dj_gokuI have always wanted a via board, since it has the crypo chip on-board. [22:41]
ballenyea if you're going for low power
pretty slow chips though
[22:42]
dj_gokuwho cares its a router [22:42]
ballenin that case checkout: http://www.liantec.com/product/lpc/LPC-5842.htm [22:42]
dj_gokua home router none the less [22:42]
ballenand if you happen to figure out how to get one of the boxes in the US let me know
I know you can import than directly from Taiwan
them*
but its rather expensive
[22:43]
dj_gokuballen: I have a am2 system that I use as my esxi host, I don't plan on buying a mini-atx system. [22:44]
ballenah
those boxes are quite good for throughput / watt consumption
[22:45]
dj_goku*shrug* its currently running a total of 4vms, openbsd (router), openbsd (dev), win2k3, win2k8, xp [22:47]
srouteI just build vim from scratch from cvs/svn sources. [22:47]
dj_gokuI just use emacs :)
dj_goku runs
[22:47]
srouteemacs hurts my hands ;) [22:48]
ballenget your emacs' loving crap outta here [22:48]
sroutevim hurts my head but I use it anyway LOL [22:48]
ballenyea should just use ee [22:48]
srouteactually... not. You know you are adicted when you do ESC:wq in a text box on a web page [22:48]
ballenyea I've done that [22:48]
dj_gokuecho/cat works too. [22:48]
sroutelol [22:49]
ballenbetter yet :wq at the end of an IM [22:49]
dj_gokuhehe
I still do that.
though it is nice that a lot of the emacs shortcuts are used in other apps.
I like that I can use emacs CTRL + A now that I am using tmux instead of screen.
[22:49]
sroute... like tmux too [22:52]
dj_gokuanyone using opensmtpd in here? I don't think I will ever run my own mail server again since I use google. [22:53]
***bobbyw has quit IRC () [22:58]
toddfwrt openbsd 'bsd -c' or 'config -ef /bsd' and 'disable mpbios' is `the trick to get openbsd current/4.6 to run on kvm'
opensbsd starting with 4.5 and better with 4.6 has 'sysmerge' to merge /etc and such
[23:03]
dj_gokutoddf: so are you a fan of upgrade or clean installs? [23:04]
toddfI most definately am for upgrades [23:04]
dj_gokuI can see the benefit, but it seems like a lot of work :) [23:04]
toddfclean installs tend to suggest something in the (massivly simplified) upgrade process is borked, aka the cheating way out
for me, if I'm doing a reinstall
I have to do lots of customization afterwards
while I do have siteXY.tgz and my own custom packages to help
it is so much easier to just upgrade it isn't funny
I use afs and kerberos and such so my experience may be different than most
fresh installs also tend to blow away any existing data
backing up /etc and re-installing then getting /etc back and merging it by hand is by far a more painful procedure than doing the upgrade of the base sets, then sysmerge the conf files and finally 'pkg_add -uri' ;-)
[23:04]
jeevwow man
i've said it before, i have over a hundred servers easy
i've been updating ports on 3 all day.
this is killing me an dpissing me off
freebsd die ina fire
[23:06]
dj_gokujeev: diaf is easier :) [23:08]
jeevi hate acronyms, except the old school ones [23:08]
dj_gokulol [23:08]
