References: Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Why do you even use your root account all the time? That isn't too smart/safe a move. It's really best if you use *your* account most of the time, and only su(1) to root when you have to. Use adduser(8) and create yourself a user account, using root all the time is not the best idea.
