Login to what (a FreeBSD box that you built, the Walnut Creek FTP site, some BBS)? Through what means (local console, telnet, ftp, rlogin, dial-up modem, PPP/SLIP)? What is the failure mode (error message, hang, fire shooting out of the monitor)? While we all appreciate brevity (something we rarely get from me) -- we also appreciate having enough information on which to base a response. (I could undoubtedly write several hundred pages all the failure modes for all the types of login that might result from all the things that might be *forgotten*).
