From: Mahesh Pandya To: freebsd-gnats-submit@FreeBSD.org, cropone@gmx.de Cc: bug-followup@freebsd.org Subject: Re: i386/33525: root access without password Date: Fri, 04 Jan 2002 11:27:50 +0000 The 'login:' prompt will not ask for a password, because when you installed FreeBSD 4.4/4.3, you have to visit the 'Configure' section of the SysInstall utility and select the 'Root Password' menu selection, and you have to assign a root password through that menu. This step is also documented in the 'FreeBSD Handbook', but it seems that you tried to / or missed the section by mistake or whatever...
