Openbsd install xp after install

So keep that in mind before configuring and making changes if you lock yourself out. Guest users can be allowed and given certain privileges. That is easily configured and explained in the Samba Documentation. I would recommend taking a look at the man pages, documentation and SWAT, as they prove to be invaluable in the end. Martin Foster mart And besides, I'll be sure to set up my ipfilter to not allow any incoming besides from the standard http, ftp and ssh ports etc.

How do you mean you'd be able to access my samba shared files then? Samba is rather complicated to set up and this can lead to pitfalls. When configuring the firewall, assume that Samba is insecure. If you end up with double the protection, all the better. If you set it up right, I won't be able to.

I just don't put that much trust in Samba to say the firewall isn't necessary. And it is riskier when putting it on the same machine since you have to filter not only traffic to the safe LAN, but also to the services inside the firewall host machine. The more complicated it is and security generally is the easier it is to make a mistake and overlook it, or in the case of some people, to not understand it.

Other topology variations exist as well. Samba can do a few things. I interrupt the regular boot with Enter and pick an alternative boot method by pressing F Now I pick my USB dongle. After roughly a minute, the installer has been started. Now I follow these steps:.

I now restart my laptop, and OpenBSD boots. This takes more time than booting Arch Linux, which uses systemd , whereas OpenBSD uses rc , which performs the startup tasks sequentially. There's a message showing up that various firmware intel-firmware , iwm-firmware , inteldrm-firmware , uvideo-firmware , and vmm-firmware has been installed automatically.

Very nice, indeed. Now that the iwm-firmware has been installed, I can connect right away to my WiFi network frzbxpdb5. The connection to my WiFi network consists of a single line:. I unplug the Ethernet cable and ping openbsd. My GUI on Unix-like systems is based on the Dynamic Window Manager dwm and a couple of other tools, such as dmenu , st , slstatus , slock , all created and maintained by the Suckless community.

This software doesn't come with configuration facilities, but needs to be configured in the respective C header file config. Even though OpenBSD offers dwm as a package, customizing and configuring that window manager requires to build it from source.

Then I fetch the source code for dwm , dmenu , st , and slstatus from Suckless :. This fails with an error message 'ft2build. Since I can finde the header file at another location:. The Suckless folks obviously are friendly towards OpenBSD, which is also noticable in other places more evidence to be shown further below. By default, and as to be seen in config. This will be built in a while. However, I prefer to use the Super or Windows key instead of Alt , since the former is of no use in OpenBSD, and the latter still comes in handy when working with the emacs readline mode.

Here, we get a warning that the function pledge an OpenBSD mitigation, which is built into the master branch, but surrounded by an ifdef preprocessor statement, so that it will only be compiled for OpenBSD is imported implicitly. Let's just ignore this warning for now. Having done so in config. For this purpose, Suckless offers dmenu. Let's switch over to it and compile it:. Again, we have the issue with ft2build. Personally, I just started on the cylinder after the Windows partition and went to the end of the disk.

Next disklabel 8 will run to finish preparing the OpenBSD partition. Most importantly, don't delete the Windows partition that's already labelled; on my machine and on most , it's partition i. Add your OpenBSD filesystems around it, and go on to naming the mountpoints. Again, the rest of installation shouldn't really depend on this being a dual-boot machine.

Finish up, and we'll make a few more changes before we're done. This is really just as described in the FAQ. Login as root. If you chose NTFS, use a network or writable media to transfer the file. Reboot, and you should have a simple dual-boot menu. Next, there's no way to tell Windows XP that the computer's hardware clock is set to anything other than local time. Therefore, we need to tell OpenBSD that's not actually the case.

We do this by configuring the OpenBSD kernel to offset the hardware clock time by some amount.
