It is "root" spelled backwards. You cant use this user, because this on has a * in the passwd. Give him a password and this on is as powerful as root is, well he is also root. 1. Delete this one, you dont need it 2. Give him a password and use this one if you lost your root password, or some other shit happend to you root account. The best choice is to delete this guy. imho Axel -- encephalon.de To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
