Hello, Not sure how it came about but I just realized that my for new FBSD installation root user is without a password. When I log in remotely and want to use chpass to add a password for user root I am presented with vi editor in which I guess I could theoretically insert it. But this process was always interactive. How should I add a password for user root (remote login as root is disabled). Do I need to access that box physically and type it on the console or can I set it remotely? Thank you! Zbigniew Szalbot
