Looks like mpi@ has been roleplaying as Doomguy, R.I.P and tearing the reaper process out of the #OpenBSD kernel. :flan_hacker:​ :flan_cleaver:​ :flan_evil:​

If people are interested, Martin is looking for test reports.

I'd appreciate tests reports on many different setups as well as other architectures.

David Gwynne (dlg@) has imported a new daemon to #OpenBSD -current, not yet linked to the build.

lldpd(8), a new LLDP (Link Layer Discovery Protocol) agent daemon.

This daemon uses the newly added AF_FRAME socket protocol type.

dlg@ modified src/usr.sbin/lldpd/*: lldpd(8): a daemon that acts as an LLDP agent on Ethernet interfaces.

lldpd uses the recently added AF_FRAME Ethernet sockets to listen for LLDP packets on all Ethernet interfaces in the system, and stores them so a lldp(8) client connecting to the control socket can fetch and display the packets.

AF_FRAME means we can avoid BPF for receiving LLDP packets, which has a couple of benefits.

firstly, BPF needs to look at all packets entering an interface so it can filter for the ones you're interested in, which is annoying for low packet/data rate protocols like LLDP. AF_FRAME is handled late in ether_input, and only after other protocols (like ip) are handled, so it's lower overhad compared to BPF listeners.

secondly, attaching a BPF filter to new interfaces relies on having access to and the privileges to open /dev/bpf, while AF_FRAME provides a wildcard listener that is able to receive LLDP from all interfaces on a single socket, like how binding to on 0.0.0.0 with an AF_INET socket let's you receive packets for all the IPs on your system from a single socket. lldp can create and configure this socket when it starts up just use it from then on. this means lldpd is simpler and needs fewer privileges to operate than if it went the BPF route.

at the moment lldpd only handles LLDP packet reception on all interfaces, you can't disable reception on interfaces yet. it also doesn't transmit LLDP packets (yet).

there is no intention of implementing any protocol other than LLDP in this daemon either.

Ah bah super le principe des péages à flux libre...
Tu veux stalker quelqu'un ? Tu va sur www.sanef.com, tu rentre le numéro de la plaque d'immatriculation, et tu vois si elle a été sur une zone à péage, avec la date.
T'as pas le détails des trajets (sauf si tu créé un compte...), mais rien qu'avec la date et le prix, tu peux deviner des choses...

Comment des gens peuvent se dire que c'est une bonne idée de faire ça ??

The #HardenedBSD April 2025 status report is out! https://hardenedbsd.org/article/shawn-webb/2025-05-01/hardenedbsd-april-2025-status-report

There is no official OpenBSD Handbook.

The site claiming to be so is not from the project, and on top of just copy and pasting a lot of FAQ content (at one point) without credit, it has lots of things that are incorrect.

The amount of times I see "Well, that's what the handbook says" on reddit. :flan_rage:​

I'm wrapping the next Rust sysinfo crate release, however I have one last issue I can't figure out how to fix.

On Windows, I can't figure out how to retrieve (user but not user's) groups.

I originally tried with NetGroupEnum and just updated to use NetQueryDisplayInformation as it was supposed to be faster.

If there is anyone who knows how to fix this bug, it'd be super appreciated!

You can test it by running cargo run --example simple and then type the "groups" command.
