I'm proud and happy to announce the first release of my project openbsd-check-outdated

It is a shell script scanning your installed packages and check on repology if a newer version exists.

https://git.sr.ht/~solene/openbsd-check-outdated

You need a checkout of the ports tree, jq and curl to make it work.

I wrote it because I prefer to update packages I actually use than random packages I don't care about.

If you've ever tried using the honk admin screen, well, first of all, I'm very sorry, but it's been rewritten to maybe only half as bad, and in a state that allows for future improvement.

Vous aimez #OpenBSD et vous êtes francophone ?

Après l'arrêt de la communauté obsd4a, nous n'avions plus de lieu pour discuter de notre système favoris dans la langue de Molière.

Je vous annonce le lancement d'un forum francophone afin de nous réunir à nouveau.

OpenBSD 7.5, PF misbehaving & interfaces going mad

This is a bizarre problem which I have been trying to debug since Monday.

Three firewalls in one data centre - one old (for ref. Mk.II) and two new (for ref. Mk, IV) - the main difference between Mk. II and Mk. IV is the NICs - Mk. II has 4x 1G Intel 82571EB and 4x Intel 82574L, Mk. IV has 2x 10G Intel X550T and 8x 10G Intel X710-T4.

All running OpenBSD 7.5, the Mk. IVs "fresh", the Mk.II updated over the years.

Migrated on Monday from the Mk. II to the Mk. IVs and after a few hours one of the interfaces suddenly exploded with output errors, the machine load went through the roof (imagine BIND9 receiving DNS requests over UDP and then replying but the replies never get to the machine asking… guaranteed DoS).

We went through a reboot, happened again, so suspected cable / hardware.

Remote hands, change cable and add an additional cable from a spare port to a new one.

Bring the firewall back up "clean" (i.e. reboot) - same thing happens (i.e. not the cable), so we switch port suspecting a hardware failure (note: these as 2x quad cards so we picked a spare port in the other quad card from the one failing).

Give it a bit of time (and packets) and the same things happens.

OK, decision time, we bring back the Mk. II from retirement (fortunately we had not un-racked it) on Tuesday evening (yes, it took us two days to debug, in prod. of course¹).

The Mk. IV works happily for a few days until literally an hour ago it went berserk like the Mk. IVs!

Now, a little extra detail:

* there are IPsec tunnels between various locations with GIF running "inside" them,
* there is OSPF across these links for routing.

This is where it gets weirder - looking at the PF logs I see:

May 02 14:18:19.262428 rule 7/(match) block out on em0: 10.255.180.3.500 > 10.255.200.2.500: isakmp v2.0 exchange INFORMATIONAL
cookie: 00bac996245f9c4d->f81187b0e2e427d7 msgid: 00000000 len: 57

but… PF config has (vpls is the group corresponding to em0):

pass quick on vpls

__
¹ there are another four Mk. IVs in prod elsewhere without the slightest issue, running the same configuration and PF ruleset.

Version 7.4.2024.01.15-p1 of #FreeBSD #relayd has just been released and is available in the FreeBSD Ports tree:

https://cgit.freebsd.org/ports/commit/?id=a66b8f6102fe56d83583db9f4041f3e7fa6c1ba9

One of the interesting changes is fix for a crash that can be triggered by a config reload. The commit message contains a nice write-up:

We are working on getting the fix upstreamed to #OpenBSD. Here's the bug report if you want to take a look:

I converted my little #termbar for #OpenBSD into a C (sorry about my code) version. Almost the same version, still a WIP but usable so far.

New #bsd article:

"There’s a multitude of Operating Systems to choose from. You may have been using something like Windows or MacOS and be perfectly happy with it. You can step up and use Linux, Haiku or even Amiga OS. So, why do I think a BSD system may be a great choice?"
