Hi Adam,

Well, OpenBSD mailing lists have their own netiquette[0] so it would
be nice if one did one's homework before posting such basic questions.

Documentation (manual pages[1] and the FAQ[2]) is there for a reason
and people work hard to write it all down and keep it up to date.

Minimum effort is a requirement.

Being an "old-timer" is not excuse for being a bit lazy ;^)
