For further information here.

My server went crazy this morning, she just went dead. But, if found out that she’s not that dead. She was only comma, I saw the power supply fan didnt work. So I tried to bring her up again, I pushed the power button, yes she was strong enough to walk again.

Even though she lost couple memories, the /dev/rwd0 ( /var ) was error. She asked me to fsck_ffs manually. So I did it, and she asked me to ‘salvage’ couple times, and just press ‘y’. Well, everything went smoothly now.

But other issue was the mysql, my web site couldn’t get connect with the mysql. After I check the mysql.sock had a problem, my php couldnt get through. So I try to deleted all link from mysql.sock and restart the service. And now as you can see my site back to normal.

$ sysctl hw.sensors

Dan tidak seperti OpenBSD sebelumnya, libexpat yang biasanya tersedia di ports dan packages, kali ini tidak tersedia. Tapi expat atau libexpat tetap ada, tergabung dalam xbase42.tgz. Jadi anda harus meng-install xbase42.tgz, karena expat sangat penting buat yg memakai nano dan lain-lain. ( more about expat ).

Dan sekarang saya hanya tinggal patching dan build new kernel, dan habis itu siap digunakan. Saya membaca di undeadly.org ada yang bilang bahwa OpenBSD makin baru versi nya maka makin enteng juga kerjanya tidak seperti OS laen..hueheheh. Ga nyesel pake OpenBSD deh…selamat meng-install.

Dear OpenBSD lovers and users / security paranoids,

So easy working with OpenBSD, you can install OpenBSD without no problem at all. All you have to do just put /usr/bin/false to the /etc/shells.

# echo /usr/bin/false >> /etc/shells

And all set, now all you  need is add nu user :

# adduser

Use option “-silent” if you don’t want to see all warnings and questions.

Reading /etc/shells
Check /etc/master.passwd
Check /etc/group

Ok, let’s go.
Don’t worry about mistakes. There will be a chance later to correct any input.

Directory Setup

You do not need to make a /home/ftp/users or /home/ftp/bin directory. Because when you add new user you automatically make new directory.

• /home/ftp – This is the main directory. It should be owned by root and have permissions of 555.
• /home/ftp/etc – This is entirely optional and not recommended, as it only serves to give out information on users which exist on your box. If you want your anonymous ftp directory to appear to have real users attached to your files, you should copy /etc/pwd.db and /etc/group to this directory. This directory should be mode 511, and the two files should be mode 444. These are used to give owner names as opposed to numbers. There are no passwords stored in pwd.db, they are all in spwd.db, so don’t copy that over.
• /home/ftp/pub – This is a standard directory to place files in which you wish to share. This directory should also be mode 555.

Start The FTP Service

All you need now is start the ftp service using the inetd or from the rc. If you want the users using their home directories you have to edit a little at the /etc/ftpchroot.

Now its ready transfer files …
