Hi, just following up my post on problems with things being run from root, I just noticed that when a normal user does whoami, it says that they're root, even though they are not and only have a normal users access. It's on FreeBSD 3.3-RELEASE. Anyone know what I can do to fix this(in as much detail as possible please)?
