pkg_delete package_name

>Kernel Parameters:

maximums.

Kernel config file parameter "maxusers". Maximum depends on your load
volume.

>5. UDMA support. How to turn on for the VIA chipset. i.e. hdparm -d 1

Look wdX flags.

>6. Changing the shell to bash (it is installed) from csh. Have tried
/etc/paswd and /etc/master.passwd, no avail.

Use chpass or vipw

>7. Have tcpwrappers package installed, unable to locate a
/etc/hosts.allow/.deny. Different locations/names?

They are not created by default. You have to create them by hand. You
