+1, the pf firewall is *very* nice, and 1 remote hole (default install)
in 7 years is definitely noteworthy!

The man pages are excellent, but I purchased "Absolute OpenBSD"
(http://www.absoluteopenbsd.com/) for additional help.  I would
*highly* recommend it.  It covers everything from installation to what
most of those /etc/*conf files are for!  (Not to mention a few chapters
with detailed pf information.)

HTH!
