Just to be sure: you talk about "chmod" and "chown" intermixed. Which one do you have problems with?

I hope this helps.

Thank you bakunin. Sorry It's "chown".
Code:
chown user1:user1 user1
chown: user is invalid: user1

I don't want to add new user B'cuz there are a lot of user and they have to change their password or not? And I cannot find shadow file on OpenBSD.
Code:
locate shadow
/usr/X11R6/include/xorg/shadow.h
/usr/X11R6/include/xorg/shadowfb.h
/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/libshadow.la
/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/libshadow.so
/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/libshadowfb.la
/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/libshadowfb.so

LEARN ABOUT XFREE86

xf86cfg

xf86cfg(1)						      General Commands Manual							xf86cfg(1)

NAME

       xf86cfg - Graphical configuration tool for XFree86 4.0

SYNOPSIS

       xf86cfg [-xf86config XF86Config] [-modulepath moduledir] [-fontpath fontsdir] [-toolkitoption ...]

DESCRIPTION

       Xf86cfg	is  a  tool to configure XFree86 4.0, and can be used to either write the initial configuration file or make customizations to the
       current configuration.

       When the DISPLAY environment variable is not set, xf86cfg will run the command XFree86 -configure to allow the xserver detect the  hardware
       in the computer, and write an initial XF86Config file in the user's home directory. Then, it will start XFree86 and allow customizations.
       If  the	DISPLAY  environment variable is set, xf86cfg will read the default XF86Config, that may not be the same being used by the current
       server, and allow customizations.

       To use an alternative location for modules or fonts the respective search paths may be specified.

       Unless there is an Apply button in the current xf86cfg dialog, the changes made will take place the next time XFree86 is started.

       Xf86cfg allows addition and configuration of new devices, such as video cards, monitors, keyboards and mouses.

       Screen layout configuration for xinerama or traditional multi-head is also available.

       Modelines can be configured or optimized.

       AccessX basic configurations can be made in the xf86cfg's accessx section.

OPTIONS

       -xf86config
	       Specifies an alternate XF86Config file for configuration.

       -modulepath
	       Specifies where xf86cfg, and the server it may start, should look for XFree86 modules.

       -serverpath
	       Specifies the complete path, not including the binary name, of the XFree86 binary.

       -fontpath
	       Specifies the path to the fonts that should be used by the server started by xf86cfg.

       -rgbpath
	       Specifies the path to the rgb.txt file that should be used by the server started by xf86cfg, if any.

       -textmode
	       If xf86cfg was compiled with support to ncurses, this option makes xf86cfg enters a text mode interface.

       -nomodules
	       When built with support for loading modules, this options changes xf86cfg behaviour, so that it will not load any modules, and thus
	       start quicker.

ENVIRONMENT

       DISPLAY Default host and display number

       XWINHOME
	       Directory where XFree86 was installed, defaults to /usr/X11R6.

       XENVIRONMENT
	       Name of a resource file that overrides the global resources stored in the RESOURCE_MANAGER property
