And obviously me too.  In my defense, in addition to the OpenBSD 5.3 install, I 
haven't done much with BSD since the 90's so my memory is fuzzy, I just finished 
(well mostly finished) upgrading two computers to OpenSUSE 12.3 and there's overlap.

Thanks, I'll look at that also.  Again in my defense, I've always looked at the 
INSTALL file, README file, any FAQ's I can find, and lastly whatever 
documentation I can find.  I've always considered man pages as something you 
refer back to after you've figured out how a command works, but need a refresher 
on a specific option.
