The link for "pub" to "." on ftp.fu-berlin.de exists for many years - but "pub" is intentionally invisible to not confuse the users. Try it, it just works. But I agree that this is not the optimal solution for the OpenBSD mirror. We'll find a way to support OpenBSD disk layout and our traditional directory structure simultaneously without any hassle for the user. Using the already existing virtual server openbsd.ftp.fu-berlin.de instead of our general purpuse server ftp.fu-berlin.de brings additional advantages as only OpenBSD software is offered via this system. As we do some major hardware and router updates today, please hold on until tomorrow. Thanks for bringing forward this issue.
