We strongly discourage people from using
"howto's" for exactly this & many other reasons:
- "Howto's" rarely are complete. Authors either don't anticipate how people may stretch the information provided, or they don't understand it themselves.
- Most "howto's" are horribly out of date, & frequently don't reference what versions of OpenBSD were used.
The obvious question in response is
"Where can I get such information?". Although
"howto's" might offer some direction, it is still the responsibility of all of us to understand what commands are issued at the keyboard.
