		<title>Enterprise iSCSI storage with OpenSolaris and COMSTAR</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
The goal of this project is to build enterprise-grade iSCSI storage that is modular enough to meet any iSCSI needs.
I chose OpenSolaris for the flexibility we get from ZFS, which everyone has at least heard of, but also for its Common SCSI Target (COMSTAR) project.   I&#8217;ll only be discussing the iSCSI target portion of this [...]]]></description>

		<title>OpenNMS training this weekend</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
This weekend my co-workers and I have been getting some OpenNMS training from none other than Tarus Balog, himself.
Now let me preface, I come from a strong background in Nagios.  Since taking employment with LimeWire almost a year ago,  I&#8217;ve quickly come up to speed with OpenNMS.  I do want to point out that I [...]]]></description>

		<title>WebVirt status update</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As you can probably guess, I&#8217;ve been rather busy.
WebVirt has become a very exciting project, so I&#8217;ve been spending almost all of my computing time coding.  I have posted some screenshots but I have to admit that they&#8217;re already a bit dated with some of the new features I&#8217;ve implemented.
Current WebVirt can connect to [...]]]></description>

		<title>WebVirt now at FedoraHosted</title>
		<description><![CDATA[WebVirt is the project I started after my recent obsession with Libvirt.  Two weekends worth of work and it&#8217;s already talking to remote libvirt boxes; if only polling capabilities, defined networks and defined domains.  
Since the architecture of the project has been laid out.  I determined it was time to allow a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Libvirt kinda caught my attention</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been working a lot with running virtual machines on Linux recently.  An inevitable stop was to the libvirt project.
I started playing with creating xml configs for creating new domains, networks and storage.  I had been planning on 1. learning pythong and 2. playing with django, so this jointly inspired me to start [...]]]></description>

The Multi Router Traffic Grapher (MRTG)
Reference: Tobi Oetiker&#8217;s MRTG &#8211; The Multi Router Traffic Grapher

To borrow a phrase from Tobi Oetiker, &#8220;You have a router, you want to know what it does all day long? Then MRTG is for you.&#8221;  The goal here is to track the actions of the OpenBSD [...]]]></description>

		<title>OpenSolaris HTPC: xorg.conf 1080p</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
So today I decided to utilize my OpenSolaris/ZFS file server as an HTPC.  I recently picked up a Sony Bravia KDL-42V4100 42&#8243; (1080p) LCD TV.  I have an NVidia GeForce 6200 LE with 256 MB 16x PCI-E video card which is fully support by OpenSolaris including nVidia control panel; seen here:

Xbox 360 and File Server access

In this post I&#8217;ll describe how I accomplished two goals, as well as talk about a little trick for debugging what is blocked.  The two goals are allowing my XBox 360 connect to Xbox Live through my OpenBSD firewall, and Port-forward to [...]]]></description>

&#8230; Let there be Traffic

Reference: The Book of PF


First I want to enable my router to forward my traffic.  This is going to give me a baseline configuration of no filtering nor NATing.  So to enable this I run:
sysctl net.inet.ip.forwarding=1
sysctl net.inet6.ip.forwarding=1
Next I uncomment the following two lines in /etc/sysctl.conf to [...]]]></description>

Configuring DHCPD

Reference: DHCPD(8) DHCPD.CONF(5)


I will start off by telling dhcp that I would like to advertise on both local network interfaces.  On OpenBSD this information is kept in /etc/dhcpd.interfaces.  The syntax is very simple, you merely state which interfaces you want, whether space-separated on the same line or just give [...]]]></description>

Configuring the Interfaces

First step is to configure the interfaces.  My external interface is rl0 (&#8220;Realtek 8139&#8243; &#8211; you can see dmesg below),  my internal wired interface is xl0 (&#8220;3Com 3c905B 100Base-TX&#8221;), and my wireless interface is rum0 (&#8220;Ralink 802.11 bg WLAN&#8221;).
As I stated in Part 1 the external interface (rl0) [...]]]></description>

It was supposedly made solely for Apple computers but the Internet folks have never been one to settle for should be&#8217;s and would rather run after could be&#8217;s.
