brycec: (headless boxes, no less) mercutio: oh it 's out now
i'd checked multipel times hah
i was checking ftp5
which is also up to date now it seems
arp isn't yet ***: mhoran has quit IRC (Remote host closed the connection)

ChanServ sets mode: +o mhoran mnathani: does OpenBSD have ports and packages like FreeBSD? brycec: Yes
(For varying degrees of "like FreeBSD")
It has ports and it has packages, yes.
But they don't "work" the same as FreeBSD's ports and packages, especially since FreeBSD moved to pkgng mercutio: well their ports/packages are a bit more stable than freebsd's imo
but freebsd has more
oh there's annonucement now for ob
and arp has 5.6/
but nothign in i386/amd64 directories hmm
i wonder if arp ran out of disk space
hmm is anyone here using nsd yet? mhoran: Yes. mercutio: how do you find it? mhoran: Great.
Migrating from BIND was easy, since it supports the same file format. mercutio: did you come from bind? mhoran: The master config format is easier. mercutio: i'm using tinydns atm mhoran: It also has a smaller memory footprint, which is great. mercutio: tinydns is a bit annoying for ipv6 mhoran: And I like that I didn't have to disable recursive resolution or anything since it just does authoritative.
I also didn't have to do anything for IPv6 which was reat. mercutio: yeah
i like split too
how are you syncing to remote servers?
to secondarys
what i found easy with tinydns is i could just do scp :) mhoran: Notify. mercutio: ahh
hmm mhoran: I use dns.he.net for secondary, so I just ship them the zones. nsd can do some signed transfer thing but I haven't set that up.
Also haven't set up DNSSEC. Seems like too much work. mercutio: heh mhoran: But maybe some day. mike-burns just set it up. mike-burns: Hi. mercutio: hi mhoran: Anyway, nsd is working well for me. I figured, since I had to install a port, I'd install something different. mercutio: i mostly just saw openbsd is finalyl shifting away from bind mike-burns: DNSSEC was super easy. I owe you the write-up of how I did it but it was like "type a thing into named.conf and reload". mhoran: I'd have to move off of he.net DNS unfortunately. mercutio: dnssec support in unbound is simple
but recursive is prob simpler than authorative mhoran: Yeah. mike-burns: There's still BIND userland in base: dig, host, etc. mercutio: mike-burns: that's good. mhoran: My home router can do recursive DNSSEC validation, which is great. mercutio: i'd like to see openbsd get better desktop support mike-burns: Disappointingly, OpenBSD's resolver no longer respects DNSSEC validation. BryceBot: That's what she said!! mercutio: well by desktop i'm actually thinking smp support
and better file systems. mike-burns: You mean the big lock? mercutio: which isn't really desktop i suppose.
yeah. mike-burns: They'd like that too. mercutio: that's starting to change i think
the file system thing is annoying mike-burns: Patches welcome, I'm sure. mercutio: i doubt they're going to support zfs mike-burns: For licensing, yeah. mercutio: licensing wise it's fine.
freebsd took it
it's "compatible"
but they don't even like gpl software ;) mike-burns: http://www.tedunangst.com/flak/post/ZFS-on-OpenBSD has much to say about it. mercutio: i'm reading slashot atm
it reminds me of cool things about openbsd in one of the posts mike-burns: I'm running OpenBSD on my laptop. mercutio: like they've got a mixer that doesn't need pulseaudio that just works. mike-burns: sndiod, yeah.
The whole thing Just Works in a very BSD way, but more so. mercutio: pf, manpages.
i suppose lack of binary update path is annoying
and lack of 802.11ac
freebsd doesn't work with 802.11ac either actually mike-burns: I run snapshots, which is binary. mercutio: does it do wireless n yet? mike-burns: No. mercutio: hmmm mike-burns: Have you run into issues with the big lock? mercutio: network performance not being great. mike-burns: Ah sure. mercutio: on that note there's also no infiniband support mike-burns: Most unix devs are writing for Linux or GNU these days. mercutio: yeah the big lock actually hampens network performance a bit, and it's one of the first places they're working to resolve it looks like. mike-burns: Ah right, I just saw a talk about that. mercutio: ahh cool
i will see the talk then :) mike-burns: It was at EuroBSDCon. mercutio: i actually really like openbsd, ... but i realise it's limitations
oh
is it on the net?
some conference didn't web cast talks mike-burns: http://www.openbsd.org/papers/tamingdragons.pdf
http://undeadly.org/cgi?action=article&sid=20140929075248 - others from the conf.
Theo's was good, as was tedu's. mercutio: i wonder if anyone's looking at speeding up openbgpd
for large merges.
like when used as route servers. mike-burns: Haven't heard anyone mention it recently, I think. mercutio: i remember reading a few people shifted from openbgpd to bird mike-burns: https://va.ludost.net/files/eurobsdcon/2014/Rodopi/ - videos. mercutio: i wonder why openbsd doesn't support 802.11n
linux uses firmware blobs on ac7260 at least mike-burns: No one has submitted a patch. mercutio: so it's just lack of patches? mike-burns: Yup. mercutio: oh cool thanks
hmm
are ports from freebsd ok? mike-burns: On Open?
Oh I see. mercutio: yeah mike-burns: yes.
But it has to work. mercutio: yeah mike-burns: That's often how things go: code from Open on Free, code from Net on Open, etc. mercutio: years ago i took an audrio drive from netbsd.
err
audio
but then i didn't push it upstream properly.
it was just to do digital sound on cmi8738
there was an existing driver without sound
i had no idea what i was doing :)
but somehow it worked fine. mike-burns: Such is life. mercutio: the interface changes aren't that great.
o traceroute6(8) has been merged into traceroute(8).
i always was disturbed by how windows did that ages ago, and linux and openbsd still hadn't caught up mhoran: Oh Linux still isn't caught up.
Pretty silly.
ping as well. ***: erratic_ has joined #arpnetworks mercutio: yeah
oh it's just the man page!
mtr does both mnathani: anyone know how to extract graph images from cacti data, to send out an email with a graph every day? mercutio: nope, looks like there's some plugin to do it though?
http://docs.cacti.net/plugin:nectar mnathani: thanks
