Try questions@freebsd.org. 2) This question is quite misguided. There is no reason to create a second superuser account just so somebody can program. They don't need superuser access for anything related to the compiler and they should have write permissions in their home directory. If this is unclear to you you need to rework your concept of permissions perhaps. Brandon D.
