Default mpd: "Operation not permitted"

OpenBSD 4.3 generic, i386

I downloaded mpd and all the necessary packages from openbsd.org, and just used pkg_add to add it. It went through with no problems, but I don't know how to start it.

Code:
$ mpd
cannot setgid for user "_mpd" at line 36: Operation not permitted
$ su
Password:
# mpd
ksh: mpd: not found
As usual I have no idea what's going on

  1. Find the name of the primary package installed:

    $ pkg_info | grep mpd
  2. Determine what files were installed by the package:

    $ pkg_info -L <complete-package-name>

    Most important, see if a manpage was installed (typically with a *.0 extension...).
  3. Study the manpage. A good chance exists that you can view it simply via:

    $ man mpd

I've already read the manpage. All it lists is a set of options (--help, etc), none of which would seem to help the situation.

Problem solved; apparently I didn't Google enough.

pkg_info -L gives path information for all files installed to the system.

The first error probably caused by your lack of priviledges to change processes userid as normal user. The root user doesn't find the program to run it.

Try to run the mpd as root user with full path like:
Code:
# /usr/local/sbin/mpd
