PS.: although wrong thread, any chance to use the brand new hoststated in
OpenBSD 4.0 ?
If I get it via CVS, will it build? I don't like the idea to upgrade my
production box to -CURRENT at all ;)


What you can do is get the 4.0 source, then just checkout latest hoststated and hoststatectl directories.
(in /usr/src/usr.sbin)
# cvs -d :pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvs co -rHEAD -P hoststated hoststatectl

They will build fine.

Don't forget to add a user _hoststated to your /etc/master.passwd too:
(as root)
# group add -g 87 _hoststated
# chpass -a '_hoststated:*:87:87::0:0:HostStated\
 Daemon:/var/empty:/sbin/nologin'

Please test and report !
