OpenBSD Hackathon Underway

Posted by timothy on from the so-don't-even-ask dept.

Triumph The Insult C writes "Aside from some stealth developers, the annual OpenBSD Hackathon, held in Calgary, is underway, according to Theo. They've been doing some recent work on SMP, and have some impressive AMD SMP gear there that they've got to hack around with. A few years ago, it was PF. Who knows what they'll come up with this time that knocks our socks off."

    Accordingly, word on the street is that significant effort this hackathon will be put into fixing the first ever OpenBSD virus...

    I think a fix has already been found for this particular "virus".

    rdsetroot to extract the fs image
    vnconfig the fs image
    mount it, edit the install scripts
    umount, vnconfig -u and rdsetroot to stuff the filesystem back in.

    takes 2 minutes to do and works extremely well.
