 The same is true if you disable the running of the DHCP client at system initialization time and instead manually assign a static IP address (see boot(8) for more information). So if you know what the IP address will be and wish to assign a name to your MINIX host, enter the address/​name pair into /etc/hosts (see hosts(5) for specific information about the format of that file). The same is true if you disable the running of the DHCP client at system initialization time and instead manually assign a static IP address (see boot(8) for more information).

This is one of the first things you should do because the system you get after finishing setup is a barebones system.

 +===== Adding Users =====
 +Always logging in as root is usually a bad idea, so it is highly recommended to set up at least one other user as soon as possible. For directions on how to do that please see: [[.:​managinguseraccounts|Managing User Accounts]]

-The PKGSRC OpenSSH package contains both the client (ssh) and the daemon (sshd). ​To install it after you have done pkgin update, type: pkgin install openssh. Then type: reboot to start the daemon. ​We recommend installing this, as it allows ssh access from another host, which improves greatly the user experience in the absence of X11.+[[https://​wiki.netbsd.org/​guide/​rc/#​index4h2|rc.d scripts of

 ===== Using Virtual Terminals ===== ===== Using Virtual Terminals =====
 MINIX 3 supports four virtual terminals. You can switch between them using ALT+F1 through ALT+F4. This could be useful, for example, if you type a command to install many packages and want to do something while it is installing. You can just switch to a different virtual terminal, log in there, and do other work. MINIX 3 supports four virtual terminals. You can switch between them using ALT+F1 through ALT+F4.
