OpenBSD connectivity issues

The Error "could not determine file type" -- is raised by shared.py at BSD and linux:

"freebsd raise the same as major linux systems(and openbsd..(i think so..))"
..if falling back..

please try out:
+++sys.platform[:7] == 'freebsd' or sysplatform[:7] == 'openbsd' or sysplatform[:5] == "linux":
...

istead of
--- sys.platform[:7] == 'freebsd':
;
still remove the error message..for me.

/src/shared.py: (there is also a todo..but on windows..)

if sys.platform == 'win32':
    # .. todo:: This might deserve extra checks by someone familiar with
    # Windows systems.
    return True
elif sys.platform[:7] == 'freebsd':

And where is the openbsd socket fix? The connection is disabled on openbsd, and this is not an issue of my own failures.
Looks like sabotage on bm-openbsd-port; i have to review the changes..

I can't find the code you're referring to.

Ok I can see the problem. We don't have automated test infrastructure for BSD, so I don't want to change it without that. I created a new task for it. Then we can see better what the problems are.
