Anyone else run OpenBSD?

[JockVSJock]

Well, I did it, I installed OpenBSD on an old PII box. I want to set it up as a gateway/portforwarding/dhcp server, but I am kind of like, now what do I do???

I've been to a few websites like
this one (http://www.freebsdforums.org/) but what are some other OpenBSD sites that I can use for help to get this stuff setup.

thanks

Now, personally, I've never run OpenBSD. I have, however, run NetBSD and FreeBSD.

IMHO, FreeBSD is awesome. They have a user manual here (http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/index.html) that I'm sure should at least partially apply to OpenBSD, because I think that most of the command line options and tools on the systems are similar, if not the same.

Also, here's this link to a good from FAQ (http://www.openbsd.org/faq/index.html) from OpenBSD's website. At first glance, it looks more like a handbook than an FAQ, anyways.

but just a note: I've got an old Proliant, P120, 16MB RAM, with 3 NIC cards, running FreeBSD 4.6 It's been running with nearly a month's uptime, serving files, bridging two network segments in my house, and doing duty as being a NAT server on my cable connection. And, I was able to learn how to do all of that from the FreeBSD handbook.

OpenBSD was spawned from NetBSD, which has its differences from FreeBSD. While there are striking similarities between the three flavors, each has its own features and quirks that makes it unique.

I would not rely too much on the FreeBSD Handbook when configuring OpenBSD, as that will likely cause problems. Better to use the OpenBSD man pages and FAQ.

I setup an OpenBSD 3.2 gateway/firewall/NAT recently.

It took a few days of playing with the pf.rules to get the firewall the way I wanted it. Then I made a FreeBSD 5.0 fileserver/DHCP server/NIS/Samba server. I didn't quite finish the FreeBSD box before I got laid off due to the crappy economy.

I used www.openBSD.org for their handbook/documentation.
