I'm an experienced linux user, but have no experience with FreeBSD. after a very basic installation (only the first step, to get ssh) I've put the computer at my ISP (of-course everything is blocked by a firewall) and continued from home. I then installed some packages from the "Distribution" menu, and "played" with the menus to see what I can configure. today, I couldn't login to the computer (ssh), and when I checked (I had someone there who logged in locally) I found out root has no password and the regular user I created was gone. my question is: could something I've done in sysinstall delete the user and root password? it's not likely that someone broke into the system because it's completely blocked (only open from my IP). thanx -- Haim
