Hi Wolfpaw, You could use http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sendbug&sektion=1&format=html as said on http://www.openbsd.org/report.html to report the bug through internet easily. sendbug is a tool used to submit problem reports (PRs) to the OpenBSD bugs database. sendbug invokes an editor on a problem report template (after filling in some fields with reasonable default values). When you exit the editor, sendbug sends the completed form to the OpenBSD bugs database. The PR will be assigned a unique number and stored in the bugs database according to its category. An automatic reply will be sent with an acknowledgement, citing the category and the PR number. The bugs database can be queried using the online bug tracking system available at http://www.openbsd.org/query-pr.html. This allows users to search for PRs based on either their PR number or content. Hope this helps :-) Kind Regards Siju
