No flames.

That's your perception.  Perhaps our perception is that with all of the
fine documentation OpenBSD provides, there's no excuse for not researching
before posting.  As you see, posing a question when it shows you've not
looked into the matter in the FAQ or archives isn't met well.  Perhaps
NetBSD is more tolerant of that sort of behaviour.

As I said earlier, politeness is optional here.  No one is being payed to
"kiss the customer's butt".  If you want a shiny happy experience, look
into worthless commercial software.  If you want answers, you're on the
right list.  Just do your homework.
