It has been been my experience that if you are willing to read the 
relevant documentation and honestly try to fix your problem on your own 
but simply cannot, the OpenBSD community will be *extremely* responsive 
and help you.

However, if you ask something that can be resolved by a simple search on 
google/the mailing list archives, then you obviously are not willing to 
make an effort, and you will get a response like you did.

The amount of effort you put in before asking your question here is 
greatly amplified in the response of the community, but unfortunately 
for lazy people, 0 * 100 is still 0.
