      From: auanon@airmail.cc              >you too will have to share your learnings       >I will also be looking at getting an openBSD installation up       Well, here's one of the more useful things I did - at least if you're on       a laptop. I wanted to have an easy way to switch wifi       networks. Nowadays, this can be done with a "joinlist", eg:       ```       join "Net1" wpakey "Pass1"       join "Net2" wpakey "Pass2"       '''       Which would automatically switch between the networks depending on what       was avalibable. Unfortunately for me though, the settings (eg, IP       address) have to be the same across all the networks. Additionally, the       networking in OpenBSD is controlled by a single config file, which gets       (re)loaded with [doas sh /etc/]netstart. Thus, I was able to write a       script (https://ghostbin.lain.la/paste/dqrj6) that would copy a new       config file in, and then reload the networking. This let me swap between       DHCP and static IPs to my hearts content.              The most confusing part was DNS. DHCP DNS is controlled by its own       daemon (dhcpleased), so even when I was using a static IP, it would       overwrite OpenNIC with whatever the DHCP given DNS settings were.       Thankfully, the network config file allows you to run arbitrary       commands, so I was able to do this:       !rcctl stop dhcpleased       !rm -f /etc/resolv.conf       !printf "nameserver 103.1.206.179\\nnameserver 168.138.12.137\\nsearch \       localdomain home.arpa\\n" | tee /etc/resolv.conf > /dev/null              I'm sure there's a cleaner solution, but this works for me, and       hopefully it'll work for somebody else :)       --       PGP ID: 0xCBA5A1DB4336CE5EB5FDF1DF18B65A09AE9011BA              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
