| Running ${FULLPKGNAME} on OpenBSD
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------

All the commands must be launched as the user _vnstat.

1) Launch vnstat --iflist to see all the available interfaces.

2) For each interface that you want to monitor, launch this command:
   # vnstat -i interface -u
This will create the database for the specified interface.

3) Edit ${SYSCONFDIR}/vnstat.conf if necessary

4) Finally launch the vnstatd daemon:
   # ${SYSCONFDIR}/rc.d/vnstatd start

5) Create graphics with the command vnstati


Random hints:
    * You can enable debug in ${SYSCONFDIR}/vnstat.conf and check 
      the logs in /var/log/vnstat/vnstat.log
