Description:
Since the upgrade to 5.2.28 CE from a previous 5.2 point release, I have been unable to administer OpenBSD sql servers.

The error message shown is as follows:

**************************************************
Exception: Unsupported administration target type:
('windows', 'unknown', 'local')
**************************************************

I tried creating a new server instance running on OpenBSD, using "Take Parameters from Existing Database Connection", which returns

[tick]Open Database Connection
[tick]Get Server Version: 5.1.42-log
[tick]Get Server OS: unknown
Database connection tested successfully.

Another external OpenBSD machine successfully tests the connection, but fails as well:

[tick]Open Database Connection
[tick]Get Server Version: 5.0.83
[tick]Get Server OS: unknown
Database connection tested successfully.

One final machine that I have ssh access to (Ubuntu 10.4) works

[tick]Open Database Connection
[tick]Get Server Version: 5.1.41-3ubuntu12.6
[tick]Get Server OS: Linux
Database connection tested successfully.

I am guessing it's a problem with the detection of the server os for OpenBSD. My windows localhost connection also works fine.

How to repeat:
1. Attempt to administer an OpenBSD sql server
