Hey there, I am a user of FreeBSD-7.0 and I must say that I am really impressed with it, I must admit though that I used to be(still am) a Linux user, so the switch wasn't that easy but I managed to do it with help from the FreeBSD handbook(My thanks go to the authors of that excellent guide). But now I've faced a big problem, I can no longer seem to login to the root account where whenever I supply the proper credentials to the login screen, I always get thrown back to the login screen. This started happening after I installed D-bus and HAL through the FreeBSD ports which were built upon Xorg 1.5.1 which I had built myself previously, so I am wondering if something I did may have caused the problem. Thanks in advance for any help on this problem. Regards, Pramod Dematagoda
