Proxy authentication is not implemented in ftp(1). You can work around this by creating a custom installation CD. $ find OpenBSD -type f # these files are on the ftp mirrors OpenBSD/4.0/i386/base40.tgz OpenBSD/4.0/i386/bsd OpenBSD/4.0/i386/bsd.mp OpenBSD/4.0/i386/bsd.rd OpenBSD/4.0/i386/cdrom40.fs OpenBSD/4.0/i386/comp40.tgz OpenBSD/4.0/i386/etc40.tgz OpenBSD/4.0/i386/game40.tgz OpenBSD/4.0/i386/man40.tgz OpenBSD/4.0/i386/misc40.tgz OpenBSD/4.0/i386/xbase40.tgz OpenBSD/4.0/i386/xetc40.tgz OpenBSD/4.0/i386/xfont40.tgz OpenBSD/4.0/i386/xserv40.tgz OpenBSD/4.0/i386/xshare40.tgz OpenBSD/4.0/packages/i386/expat-2.0.0.tgz OpenBSD/4.0/packages/i386/gettext-0.14.5p1.tgz OpenBSD/4.0/packages/i386/libiconv-1.9.2p3.tgz OpenBSD/4.0/packages/i386/wget-1.10.2p0.tgz $ mkisofs -l -r -b 4.0/i386/cdrom40.fs -o obsd.iso OpenBSD When you have OpenBSD up and running, try wget's proxy authentication. # mount /dev/cd0a /mnt # replace cd0a with your CD device # pkg_add /mnt/4.0/packages/i386/wget-1.10.2p0.tgz # man wget If you like OpenBSD, you could try to implement proxy authentication in ftp(1).
