I'm trying to benchmark the VIA Padlock crypto engine on OpenBSD 4.3 running 1 GHz VIA CPU. It seems like OpenBSD sees the Padlock feature, but the crypto performance is pretty poor. This is how CPU is seen by the kernel: OpenBSD 4.3 (GENERIC) #698: Wed Mar 12 11:07:05 MDT 2008 dera...@i386.openbsd.org:/usr/ src/sys/arch/i386/compile/GENE RIC... more » By Paweł Krawczyk  - Nov 18 - 2 new of 2 messages

Trying to block a single MAC address using static arp...and failing badly

I've got an OpenBSD 3.6 firewall (yea, old, will upgrade soon) and I'm trying to block one noodnik user from the network it controls. For a variety of reasons, it's going to be easiest to do this by targeting his MAC address (yea, I know they can be spoofed, but this guy isn't that clueful). I'm trying a suggestion seen on some forums that suggests creating a... more » By Jonathan Rogers  - Nov 18 - 3 new of 3 messages

	spamd question
	Hello, I am using spamd on OpenBSD 4.1 in greylisting mode and was wondering if this behaviour of spamd is correct: The very first time I send a mail through, spamd marks this IP address in the spamdb as GREY.
