Hi, just following up my post on problems with things being run from =
root, I just noticed that when a normal user does whoami, it says that =
they're root, even though they are not and only have a normal users =
access. It's on FreeBSD 3.3-RELEASE. Anyone know what I can do to fix =
this(in as much detail as possible please)?
