hello again guys!

i'm confused with the way my '/etc/rc.conf' turns out whenever i do
'/stand/sysinstall', the #<string> (comments) duplicate at the end of each
line! here's what my 'rc.conf' looks like:

---START rc.conf---

##############################################################
### Important initial Boot-time options  #####################
##############################################################

swapfile="NO"		# Set to name of swapfile if aux swapfile desired."		# Set to name of swapfile if aux swapfile desired.
apm_enable="NO"		# Set to YES if you want APM enabled."		# Set to YES if you want APM enabled.
pccard_enable="NO"	# Set to YES if you want to configure PCCARD devices."		# Set to YES if you want to configure PCCARD devices.
pccard_mem="DEFAULT"	# If pccard_enable=YES, this is card memory address."		# If pccard_enable=YES, this is card memory address.
pccard_ifconfig="NO"	# Specialized pccard ethernet configuration (or NO)."		# Specialized pccard ethernet configuration (or NO).
local_startup="/usr/local/etc/rc.d /usr/X11R6/etc/rc.d"	# startup script dirs."		# startup script dirs.

---END rc.conf---

o  how can i make the changes i make when in sysinstall permanent? (like
   where i get my source, package, etc.

o  why do i get "inetd[xxx]: login_getclass: unknown class 'root'"
   messages on the system console?

o  why can't i 'su' to root access? what must i do? it says i'm not a
   member of something.

i'm sorry if i have so many questions about FreeBSD. this is my first time
to manage to FreeBSD box although i've been using Linux for quite some
time now. we use FreeBSD on our proxy server running Squid 1.NOVM.15 with
1.5G of cache. i have heard from the Squid community of FreeBSD's
performance that's why we gave FreeBSD a try.

thank you very much!
