I think it’s fair enough for the whole subject to read a few mails, the following ones:

Michael Buesch’s initial mail

Reply to Theo’s reply 1

Reply to Theo’s reply 2

Theo’s seems to be frantically trying to defend the indefendable, by counter-attacking Michael and trying to undermine what a licensing issue is… /me laughes hard at their mad way to defend BSD licensing…

Finally Pavel Roskin about MadWifi and OpenBSD

You can read the whole thread here.

Take care with upgrading ILOM 1.0 to 1.1.1, it does not keep the original settings – like its fixed IP address – resulting in the service processor to acquire its address via DHCP… Not so lucky in a co-location environment 😛

The master plan’s reason was that I have some boxes in Moscow and in the country, and their BIOS and SAS/SCSI/lofasz controller firmware update was timely.

The master plan was to get freedos booting via pxeboot from a local gateway – or bring up its interface via a bridged openvpn to my notebook in a very perverse way -, then provide an environment containing the flasher tools, the firmware images, and so on.

The master plan succeeded.

Creating a PXE environment was an easy job, install a dhcp3-server and a tftpd. Add a similar entry into your dhcpd.conf:

host shg2pxe {
hardware ethernet 00:02:b3:51:15:82;
fixed-address 10.1.1.100;
next-server 10.1.1.254;
filename “pxelinux.0”;
}

hardware ethernet is self explanatory, fixed-address also, next-server is the IP address of your TFTP server, filename is the PXE stage 1 loader, which you have to put into your tftpboot directory (/tftpboot or /var/lib/tftpboot in most of the cases, I will use the first one now.)

Then put memdisk and freedos.img into /tftpboot , and create a /tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/default with this content:

DEFAULT freedos
LABEL freedos
kernel /memdisk
append initrd=/freedos.img

The freedos.img is a gzipped VFAT image, into which you can add files (flasher tools, firmware images, just as the original idea required) after gunzipping and mounting it with:

mount -o loop /tmp/freedos.img /mnt

Don’t forget that this is currently a 1.44Mb floppy image, so you have to fit in that. Also don’t forget to gzip it after playing around with it.

You can create an autoexec.bat on the disk image also, to run the flasher tool immediately after boot, and also add some kind of a reboot tool, to allow the box to boot up after the update.

Brain: The same thing we do every night, Pinky.
Pinky: What’s that?
Brain: …I have no idea.
Pinky: Poit.
Brain: Narf.

Small shellscript to migrate from tinydns to powerdns. Requires the original datafile and the zones contained in it up and running, outputs an sqldump to import into a powerdns mysql database. (DIdn’t had the time and the will to take care of every bit of tinydns’s data format.)

linuxsh-dev listan se ertettem eloszor h miert ir olyat egyik developer srac, valami bugfix utan amit elbaszott egy masik srac, h “thank you for being able to learn”, vagy valami hasonlo. nem az, h hulye vagy, elbasztad, huzzanyadba, fixaltam, stb… mondom wtf, ekkora tisztelet van ott az emberben a masik fele, vagy mi? total mas kultura. lehet egy hosszabb kort erdemes lenne arra tenni valamikor.
