Look, it's not REALLY interesting for us to find out that a large part of the system does not work if you do weird things to modes all over the place. Now, what's really interesting for YOU is to figure out how you managed to make such a fuck-up of a (claimed) `normal' installation of OpenBSD 3.7. My MAKEDEV shows apm and apmctl at 644. How did you end up with 600 ? How did you end up with a fucked-up libcrypto.so.* ? You need to figure THAT out. Either you did something really stupid at some point, or you've got some MAJOR TROUBLE on your system.
