Hello again, With the generous feedback of several people, I have traced the problem down to (what I consider to be) simple bugs in the OPIE Makefile. After compiling OPIE, I carefully followed the instructions for testing the utilities. The "test" target does not prepare setuid (to root) versions of opiesu and opielogin. Thus, when running opiesu as a non-root user (INSTALL step 10), getpwnam() returns "*" on FreeBSD, giving the error message "Unknown user" (and hence my previous incorrect assumptions that OPIE or FreeBSD was broken). Thus, I created temporary setuid versions of opiesu and opielogin and was able to successfully complete the pre-installation testing. The "make install" does work correctly, producing a correctly running version. Thank you to all provided assistance! \MikeK Mike Kephart ADP Dealer Services R&D, Portland, OR
