Thanks Philip for the answer. Indeed I just broke into the book Unix Unleashed by Robin Burk, and as the Unleashed series was also one of my first book for developers I ever studied to begin develop anything interesting over Internet... I strated to browse it on the Internet Archive where you can still find it.
About security of OpenBSD I found in it about /etc/hosts.equiv and ~/.rhosts and further reading on the man I found regarding SSH /etc/shosts.equiv and /root/.shosts. I read also some old post on marc.info about this matter.. In the wait you erase everything I prefered to blank and set immutable: /etc/hosts.equiv and ~/.rhosts /etc/shosts.equiv and ~/.shosts I then read something more actual on how to secure X server. The book Unix Unleashed is maybe old but it is the only one for my now that quote these residuals when it is about security.
