Sender: owner-questions@Freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Help! When I enter X windows using the /usr/X11F86/X, it brings up a graphics window and a mouse that looks like an X (figures). Now what do I do?? All the TTYS don't come up and I move the mouse around, click, press buttons on the keyboard but nothing happens what do I do?? Help! How do I prevent users (not root) from getting into other directories... I make certain directories owned by only root but yet I they can still get in and see the files... How can I deny them this access??? Help! In my /etc/group file it goes GROUPNAME:*:GID:users,... What does the * stand for??? Please do NOT email back to this address but to Skynet1@Cris.com Thankyou.
