The following reply was made to PR i386/33525; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Mahesh Pandya <hiten@uk.FreeBSD.org> 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... This PR can be closed if no further similar problems occur on the PR Database. - Hiten - <hiten@uk.FreeBSD.org.uk> -- SSH Fingerprint: 1024 45:a5:9c:f2:fb:07:da:70:18:02:0b:f3:63:f1:7a:a6 hitenp@hpdi.ath.cx To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
