I have an openBSD firewall, and I would really like to know in which file the IP adress of the firewall is stored.

And also where can I see if it set up to be with static IP or dhcp?

Edit by pauska: Dont pack your /etc and put it on public hosting, it contains encrypted passwords and other info that could easily make you a target for hackers.

for each interface: /etc/hostname.<if> e.g. if the interface is em0, the file is /etc/hostname.em0

If the IP address is obtained via DHCP, there is only dhcp in it, else the address, network mask and options

Maunal page for this.

Update: if you want to set you IP address, just create the files. The /etc you provided doesn't contain any configuration of a "real" machine (no network, no ip adresses etc.) It lookslike a generic installer template (flashrd is mentioned, although I haven't used it yet)

It is very strange. I don't have any files that starts with hostname. I have updated the question with a link to the content of /etc. – Sandra Oct 10 '10 at 0:56
Thanks for the update. That really helped me out. I would have expected that flashrd configured the interfaces. I am pretty sure I did set them at install time...? – Sandra Oct 11 '10 at 23:12
I'm only familiar with the standard installer and some crude manually-putting-it-on-a-cf-card back then when cf cards were 64mb. – knitti Oct 11 '10 at 23:15
