Hello, I am a newbie about FreeBSD but I like this gorgeous OS, elegant and powerful. But FreeBSD is again mysterious for me. I have two problems. First problem : I have two partitions on my hard disk (Western Digital 20GB) with FreeBSD 5.1 and Windows Server 2003. At present time my Boot loader displays : "F1 FreeBSD F2 ?? Default : F1" (F2 corresponds to Windows Server 2003). But I would like to replace "??" by "Windows Server 2003". How to do this ? Is there a specific file for this ? Can I modify "/boot/loader.conf", "/boot/loader.conf.local" or "/boot/defaults/loader.conf" ? Is there a modification of a specific file ? I would like to solve this problem "unaesthetic" and ugly. No response for the moment at : http://www.bsdforums.org/forums/showthread.php?s=&postid=122593#post122593 Thanks for the informations on this subject. Other problem : On my system I have to add a comma after the last username to allow normal user to shutdown PC. "vi /etc/group" operator:*:5:root,username1,username2,username3, I don't understand the reason of the comma after the last name (for example : username3). On the other hand I understand perfectly the reason of the comma between two usernames. If the comma is missing (after username3) I can't do a "shutdown -r now" or "shutdown -h now" or "shutdown -p now" With the comma after the last username, I can do a "shutdown -... now" No response for the moment at : http://www.bsdforums.org/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=22053 Thank you very much for your precious help.
