There has been a difference in the hash sign of the command line. When I'm logged in as user it is $. When I am logged in as root it is #, even when I do not execute a shell. Usually it was root@machine17#. How do I change it back? I have to do pwd instead of just knowing what directory I am in.

Do some research: man csh. You can also get more examples on the web; google 'freebsd csh set prompt'. In order to modify your prompt, you need to alter the variable PS1 in your .cshrc (C-shell startup file, note the starting '.') in your /root directory. For your regular prompt, look in the .profile file in /home/myuser. I will warn you up front: the two shells are quite different. Save a backup of each of these files before you alter them. If your computer dumps you into shell mode without booting, having a .profile in /root is also a good idea. From the emergency shell you can 'source /home/myuser/.profile' -- Don Wilde **************************************************** * What is the Internet of Things but a system * * of systems including humans? * ****************************************************
