Problem

On OpenBSD, /var/run is recreated on every boot. The /var/run/furt
directory required by the PID file mechanism does not exist after
reboot, causing furt to fail on startup with "Failed to bind to
127.0.0.1:7811" because a previous process holds the port.

Fix applied on tiamat

Added directory creation to /etc/rc.d/furt before rc_cmd $1:

mkdir -p /var/run/furt && chown _furt /var/run/furt

Tasks

Add mkdir/chown to rc.d script in repository
Document in installation guide (OpenBSD section)
Check if walter/werner VMs are affected
