I like to help people, like many others here. But, i think that should be a mantra for every a admin: "Read the manual, before you ask.". I wasn't talking specifically about you, but in general. OpenBSD has a so good documentation, that people doesn't always use. I think that is much easier read the docs than asking in the list. But, i see this behavior in every list i sign, so it's not openbsd specific. I was just saying that there should be more emphasis about how good the doc is. I know that faq says this, i know that there the marvelous intro man pages. And there is some warnings on the mailing list page telling you to RTFM. But people just don't get it. Sorry for my aggressive response, i apology.
