Wireless bridge Question

Hi Everybody.

I hope I can clearly explain my problem.
I want to solve this with on hand hardware.

I have a firewall/router in a locked cabinet in the basement.
It's running OpenBSD 5.0 Current.
I also have some 2-Wire brand 1700 and 2700 series DSL
routers lying around.

I need a wireless access point upstairs, out of range of a
wireless card in my firewall/router.

I want to run a wired network connection from my firewall/router
upstairs to one of my 2-Wire routers to act as a wireless access
point.

BUT...
I want the DHCP leases to be handled by the wired NIC in my
firewall/router, and have the 2-Wire router ONLY act as nothing more
than a "bridge" (if that's the correct term).

Is this possible?
                              Thanks for any input,  Ed

boot.conf on mac ppc

I'm running 4.9 STABLE on a PPC Mac Powerbook 15".

OpenFirmware is set for autoboot and the boot device is hd:,ofwboot.

The box boots correctly: a start or reboot drops me into an OBSD boot 
prompt that lasts for five seconds.  I'd like to control the length of 
time that the boot prompt is on the screen with the boot.conf "timeout" 
keyword.

This works, of course, on the i386 port (you can set "timeout" to 0, and 
override it by holding down one of the keys during boot), but macppc 
throws out any timeout boot.conf configuration with an error message.

Does boot.conf work on macppc?  If so, is there a difference in the 
syntax from i386?

Alternatively, can the length of time the secondary boot prompt 
(ofwboot) is on the screen be controlled from OpenFirmware? (I 
understand they're two different processes.)

Thanks for any help.

Kernel pppoe broken my OpenBSD 4.9 and64


Starting with OpenBSD 4.9 Stable (amd64),

Google shows nothing helpful.
OpenBSD Misc gets no reply.

I hope somebody can help me...

when using Kernel mode pppoe
AND when DSL connection is dropped.
computer has to be rebooted to restart DSL 
connection.

Problem installing Apache2 and PHP5

hi all,
I was reading and reading and I can't find the solution on the internet.

By default OpenBSD 4.9 has Apache 1.3, but I need Apache 2. I installed it by "pkg_add apache-httpd-2.2.15p0" and also I installed PHP5 by "pkg_add".

I add in /etc/apache2/httpd2.conf the line:

LoadModule php5_module /usr/local/lib/php/libphp5.so

And:

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php

I start Apache2 and I have this error:

# emacs /etc/apache2/httpd2.conf
# /usr/local/s
sbin/   share/
# /usr/local/sbin/apachectl2 start

httpd2: Syntax error on line 116 of /etc/apache2/httpd2.conf: Cannot load /usr/local/lib/php/libphp5.so into server: Cannot load specified object
#

Please, does anybody here has the solution?
I didn't compiled the port, I'm using the packages and installing them with 'pkg_add'.
I need help, please. Witch Apache 1.3 is very easy, but I need to do it with Apache2.

peace and love,

joan

64 or 32 bit?

Okay, stupid question time: how do I figure out if my CPU is 64 or 32
bit on OpenBSD?

dmesg and `sysctl hw` tell me the same thing:
$ sysctl hw
hw.machine=i386
hw.model=Genuine Intel(R) CPU U7300 @ 1.30GHz ("GenuineIntel" 686-class)
...

The googles do nothing for "U7300". I mean, I suppose it probably is
64 bit (Google does find pages selling laptops with this cpu and 4gigs
of ram so presumably..), but what's the process here normally? Try to
install amd64 and if that breaks you know you don't have a 64 bit
machine?

Problems with ACPI

Dear,

Finished my installation of the latest OpenBSD on my laptop.
The installation was uneventful, it was pretty quick, as I expected.

When performing the first boot after installation, my system was stopped, even loading the kernel, with the phrase:

acpitz0 at acpi0

I thought it would take to detect and left for 6 hours.
Nothing happened.

To solve the problem quickly, I disabled ACPI.

Does anyone know another way to solve this problem?

Hugs,

Thank-you devs


Great job! 
Installed 4.8 over my old 4.6 installation.
Just as easy and smooth as I expected.
Thank-you all for all the hard work you do to provide such a great os.
Hopefully I'll be back to work and able to help financially.

4.8 torrents


hi all.
When 4.8 is released, will a torrent be released at the same time?
If so, is the location primarily http://openbsd.somedomain.net/ ?
I have a machine set up just for torrents, so I want it ready to go when 4.8 is released.
Then I can let the machine run and upgrade this machine from 4.6.

Thanks,
Mike

Sends IP address when it changes

Hi Eveybody,
      I have an AMD64 based OpenBSD 4.6 system in another town that's
on a DSL account with a dynamically allocated IP address.

The DSL provider uses standard DHCP to allocate the address, and
I just use a dumb modem, 
so the DHCP session is done by my  OpenBSD box.

Back home at my base location I have a static IP and an
OpenBSD based network with web and mail server.

QUESTION: is there a way for my remote OpenBSD box
in the other town, to send me it's new IP address when it updates
it's IP address during a DHCP session?

Or any other way that i can know when it's IP address changes and
what the new one is?
