I am walking through the man pages and doing the configurations then I get to rc.conf and when I try to access the conf file it slaps me in the face with permission denied I logged in as root and did su root when I was logged in as root and no luck
Which rc.conf are you trying to edit? How are you trying to edit it? Were you root when you did that? What about trying to "su"? Did you have a problem with that?
It is impossible to follow what you are saying from your paragraph.
Again I have a question do I need to follow the netBSD guide or is that optional? Becuase I followed the instructions to the letter and when I rebooted the box it threw all sorts of errors like the ffs dependencies weren't right and the rc.conf directory couldn't be started
