would machdep.allowaperture=0 be enough to disable X ?
Hi everybody !
Would 'machdep.allowaperture=0' be enough to disable X related files ? I installed OpenBSD the usual way , with X enabled .. then decided to use the machine as an Xless server only .. Thanks .. |

Hi jgimmi ! Thanks for the tip ..
you mean : 'sysctl kern.securlevel=0' ? |
|
|||
what if I want to *remove* all X related sets .. what's the procedure ?
|
|

It will be far simpler to reinstall. However, if you insist, you could look at the contents of the X install sets, & script removal of each & every file, but you will need to reset machdep.allowaperture as well.
As an/the administrator to your system(s), you should be able to state at any time (with no reservation...) just what is/are the state of your system(s). Gutting the filesystem of major components by hand isn't foolproof. |

I am not able to find the reference but I believe that some of the base applications have been compiled with X dependencies - you can open up quite a can of worms.

Code:
Another common failure is a missing X11 installation. Even if the port you try to build has no direct dependency on X11, a subpackage of it or its dependencies may require X11 headers and libraries. Building ports on systems without X11 is not supported, so if you insist on doing so, you are on your own to figure it out. For many ports, there are, however, "no_x11" flavored packages available, which you can install without needing X11 on your system. |
