Hello,

  I just installed the 4.9PreRelease via FTP from:

 ftp://current.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/
     snapshots/i386/4.9-PRERELEASE-20030901-JPSNAP/

It was the only place I could find and access the
directory.  I installed using the floppies.

Now I created a user and can log in but...

  1. No "message of the day" displays... 
        the file "/etc/motd" does exist.

  2. My prompt shows: "1001@hostname" after I 
        uncomment the prompt section in .shrc

  3. Is there anything else deactivated that 
        I should know about??

Please help, Thanks!
