I'd like to remove apache, bind, perl, and sendmail from an OpenBSD
system. What is the best way to find all the libraries, executables,
configuration files, and other miscellaneous files related to these
software?

I don't think there is but is there an automated or OpenBSD built-in way
of removing these software?

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/wd0

Why on earth do you want to remove packages on which OpenBSD more or
less depends for its day-to-day operation? Just disable the webserver,
it will not bother you.

Killfile that retard and report him to his ISP.

If you build your system from source you can use SKIPDIR to not
build and install portions of the system. No guarantees. If you
don't know what you are doing you might not build something
that is needed later (e.g I think perl is needed for something or
another).


$ export SKIPDIR="sendmail httpd"
$ export SUDO=sudo
$ make build

You'll have to go through your system one time and remove all
the associated things by hand, but once your system is built
an ls -lt will pretty much tell you what is old (with the exception
of includes and possibly a few other things).

Quoting correctly _and_ reading cynical remarks seems to be a rare
artform. Retards that blindly follow the first line they read without
any clue do not deserve better. Guess what my ISP will do? Yes,
nothing. They ROTFL for such a retard reporting.

But you deviate from the standard system, you will shoot yourself in the
foot when you decide to run pfstat afterwards, and you do not need to
compile the things. It takes up a little bit of diskspace. The cheapest
commodity in computers today. A barebones default install will take
something like 120 MB if memory serves well. You will not gain too
much.

If I were you, I would seriously reconsider. Or have a look at a floppy
based OpenBSD. That might even be a better solution for you.

perl is used by some system utilities.

/usr/bin/skeyprune
/usr/sbin/adduser
/usr/sbin/rmuser
/usr/sbin/pkg

cd /usr/sbin;
ls | while read file; do \
head -n1 $file | grep perl > /dev/null; \
if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then echo $file; fi; \
done

My keyboard is full of coffe, while laughing with a full mouth......

Without sendmail "root" does not bother me any more with the
security-reports each day. ))))))))))))))))

BTW: I removes the "q" and "W" (shift +w) key, because it do not need
them.

cheers
