setting up OpenBSD 4.0
ok these questions may be a little silly but I just started using OpenBSD as I came from Linux...
1. How do I make my desktop in X all snazzy like, I have wallpapers that need to be used. while I admit it will mainly be used for things I wont need a wallpaper for, you just never know
, im assuming I need winmaker or whatever it may be called?
2. I know how to add users but how do I encrypt the passwords? ... I tried reading through the man pages and the such but they never just come out and say "adduser blah blah -e" or w/e the case may be.
3. how do I change my hostname if I made a mistake
?
I believe that is all...
Thanks in advance.
