What part of OpenBSD do you think sucks, and no more trolling. What

I prefer base64 encoded printouts, to be rekeyed by interns should the
system fail.
I don't trust the interns so I use FIRE to encrypt the base 64 after it's been
printed.
I would really recommend against using rdate like this, it jumps the
clock. ntpd skews the clock (makes it run slightly fast or slow until
the time is correct), so you don't miss out on any seconds (which
sometimes skips cron jobs, makes logging more confusing, and can
cause a lot of trouble
I decided to get the time syncronization for all those boxes. In the
gateway machine, i managed to get the following in crontab:

Any idea how to diagnose the problem?
Turn on as much verbose logging as you can and see what you get. Do you
get any kernel crash messages on the console when the machine hangs or
does it just hang up and die?
Your first port of call is to get the system logs out of the machine.

I scp'd a file called 'a b' to an openbsd server here, then scp'd it

That's because of the shell.
