The second note I found and am passing along is about remote upgrades of OpenBSD from distribution . While much of the material is covered in the FAQ (and the upgrade Mini FAQ), in many ways this guide cuts some corners that are common to cut. These notes on the subject are worth reading if you want to save some time and perform a potentially risky upgrade (remotely, unpacking the sets on a live system).

My DSL ISP link (NextGenTel in NOrway) is PPPoA, and they supply a Netopia 4542 'device' which 'routes/firewalls/NATs' etc to RFC1518 address on your home LAN. I spoke to the netopia techies about using the 4542 as a 'bridge' (& using PPPoX on my OBSD LAN host), which it apparantly can, but then you get ethernet encapsulated PPPoA frames (whatever they are) on the LAN side. So I'd like to know if anyone has managed this ?
I can't even determine the exact framing by sniffing, since the PPP connection is client initiated.

I found out about it a while ago right here on deadly. It's helped me out tremendously with setting up pf.
