Introducing dhcpleased(8)
|
|
Now enabled by default on OpenBSD -current is dhcpleased (8), a dynamic host configuration protocol daemon written by florian@ (Florian Obser), who spoke with us about his work: I suppose this is either the KAME project 's fault, or if we don't want to go that far back, Theo's fault. At g2k16 he floated the idea of a network configuration daemon.

Initial support for guided disk encryption in the installer

OpenBSD KDE Status Report
|
|
OpenBSD has managed to drop KDE3 and KDE4 in the 6.8 -> 6.9 release cycle. That makes me very happy because it was a big piece of work and long discussions. This of course brings questions: Kde Plasma 5 package missing. After half a year of work, I managed to successfully update the Qt5 stack to the last LTS version 5.15.2. On the whole, the most work was updating QtWebengine.

wiconfig - simplifies the configuration of wireless interfaces
|
|
Hi Matthias--appreciate you peeking at the script and exposing the issue. For what it's worth, the script doesn't automatically connect to the strongest network it finds until you configure a specific network, so you'd have to tell it to connect to `rm /etc/wiconfig`, which is akin to someone typing ifconfig iwi0 nwid "`rm /etc/wiconfig`".
