For any newbies that haven't figured it out yet, there are three fundamentals reasons for checking the documentation before you post a question. First, if you post a question with an answer readily available in the Handbook, you broadcast your lameness to the world. Yes, there will be times where you overlook something and ask a lame question, but one lame question out of ten is much better then ten lame questions out of ten. Second, the people on the ircs and mailing lists are volunteers. They don't get paid for taking the time to look up answers that you could have looked up anyway. FreeBSD Mall offers paid support plans if you wish to access tech support people that actually ARE paid to answer your questions. And finally, learning about your system is a wonderful thing. But you will never learn it if you keep insisting on being spoon fed.
