How to Ask Good Questions
Before asking a question,
- Read the manual pages:
$ man <word> $ man -k <keyword>
- Search the OpenBSD FAQ
- Search the IRCNow wiki, the Admin Forces Training guides, and the almanack
- Consult README files located in
/usr/local/share/doc/pkg-readmes/ - Consult project web pages (such as OpenSMTPd, OpenNTPD, )
- Copy and read the sample conf files in /etc/examples/:
- Search the OpenBSD mailing list archives
- Tell us exactly what you did so we can reproduce the error. Use a pastebin to show us all your config files, errors, and debug logs. To use the IRCNow pastebin:
$ cat file | nc paste.ircnow.org 7777
- If you ran into problems when running software that you are using for first time, don't assume it's a bug!
- Don't beg others to solve your problem; you must do your homework first
