We're very close to a release, so it should be working well.  :)

Ah, OpenBSD.  We've seen some weird problems with /bin/sh on OpenBSD.  Try
replacing /bin/sh at the beginning of the control message handling scripts
(newgroup, rmgroup, and checkgroups) with /bin/bash instead (which I
believe OpenBSD has) and see if that works any better.

Also, you really want to be running controlchan, rather than those old
control message shell scripts....
