It sounds like the tulip messages one sees on every OS on alphas, I
wouldn't worry about it unless your performance is somehow degraded.

You need to use the non-gui setup routine - xf86config.
I'd suggest building XF84 4.0.1 from ports, its a bit more reliable
(for me anyway) than the 3.x servers.

Odd. See if XF86 4 does any better.

Install sudo and become root on a per-command basis.

I assume you installed it from ports and thus have a
/compat/osf1/etc/svc.conf?
Does your /etc/resolve.conf have a blank search directive? Eg:
search
nameserver w.x.y.z
If so, try deleting the search line in /etc/resolv.conf or give it a
domain name list to search. Be very carful of excess whitespace. I
don't think the OSF/1 resolver library is a featureful as ours.
