At office, after having installed a freebsd (OS on which I'm pretty
experienced)server, I installed a new (web-)server with openbsd 4.0, OS on
which I'm an absolute beginner, even though the experience with the other BSD
helps a lot.
Now I'm trying to install a basic set of packages under openbsd using the
command (similar to the one I use under freebsd):
pkg_add -v ftp://.........../package
but I'm unable to reach any site because my box is behind a firewall-proxy
needing userid and password authentication.
I tried defining two environmental variables (as under freebsd) $http_proxy and
$ftp_proxy to no avail with openbsd.
Google didn't help.
How can I define once and for all the userid and password of the proxy?
(Please take into account that I'm a beginner)

As pkg_add uses the standard ftp client by default I suggest you read
the ftp man page for details on how to do this.
