  1. Re:GeoTrust.com rocks, and is cheap! on Cheap SSL Certificates for Small Websites? · · Score: 1

    We've been using them, and they are cheap...

    Especially for renewals ~100 US.

  2. Re:wow, interesing on Microsoft PPTP Buffer Overflow; VPNs Vulnerable · · Score: 1

    Anyone know if this affects the FreeBSD port of a PPTP server (MPD) ??

    Or is this an isolated MS exploit?

  3. Re:Truely Quiet and Cheap on Tiny Boxen · · Score: 1
    Here is a similar story about the same hardware, from a Vancouver company called FatPort.

    Slashdot story

    They're using them as wireless AP/Gateways...

  4. Re:Compact BSD is not a BSD at all. on CompactBSD for Embedded Projects · · Score: 1
    As mentioned in a previous post, the actual OpenBSD files are still under a BSD license.

    This is a set of tools to hack up an original OpenBSD distribution, so it would work well with embedded devices.

    The tools to do this are GPL'd.

  5. Re:GPL?!? on CompactBSD for Embedded Projects · · Score: 3, Informative
    This isn't really a distribution, but a set of tools to create a distribution.

    So the tools themselves are GPL'd, while the BSD files are still under the BSD license.

  6. Re:Wondering... on CompactBSD for Embedded Projects · · Score: 2, Informative
    No problem...

    It's OpenBSD stripped down on what is essentially a 300MHz i386 PC. OpenSSH is on it by default, just like OpenBSD.

    Though you would probably want to upgrade it to OpenSSH 3.4 because of the recent security holes.

    So SSH tunnelling would be done exactly as it would on any other OpenSSH platform.

  7. Re:Perhaps in conjunction w/ one of this sweet one on CompactBSD for Embedded Projects · · Score: 1
    This is exactly the kind of machine this was built for...

    If you take a look on the fatport site, they have a picture of something that looks very similar to a Soekris box.

    Anyone know what this is?

  8. Re:PicoBSD? on CompactBSD for Embedded Projects · · Score: 1
    emBSD is really not going anywhere...

    I've tried to use it and it's a manual job. I like this one since it automatically strips out stuff based on a config file. You can easily change it to take out more, or leave in more.

  9. Re:Why not just use emBSD? on CompactBSD for Embedded Projects · · Score: 2, Informative
    emBSD has been stalled for quite some time now.

    I've tried to use it, but it's always revisions behind the main OpenBSD development. So security fixes never really seem to make it into emBSD very quickly.

    The nice thing about this version, is that it is always based on the newest version of OpenBSD.
    It essentially downloads the current version, hacks it up so it can fit onto embedded devices, and burns everything onto a bootable compact flash card.

    Very nice...

  10. Re:Best operating system for the job? on CompactBSD for Embedded Projects · · Score: 2, Interesting
    I've switched on/off embedded pc's such as the Soekris box with OpenBSD on a compact flash without any problems.

    It just fsck's it's drives, and goes on it's merry way.
