You want a how-to? Run Linux. I pointed you not at nut but at some extra information that you showed no sign of knowing. The best help you can get when it looks like you have not done enough research is a pointer or two so that you find the answers for yourself. If you do research and read the man pages and mail archives you'll become self sufficient in less time. I AM assuming you have the potential to do that. Those who don't seem to wither away in OpenBSD. There will often be a reason to ask for help. It comes more readily when the question is accompanied by evidence of what the person has done to get to where s/he is. Often it's then just a clarification that's needed, or evidence like log entries will allow a guru to spot the problem. > >> This isn't really a misc@ question. ports@ or at the nut mail-list >> would be best IMNSHO. > >Ok, point taken.
