Putting users in the wheel group allows them to su to root - probably not what you're looking for. I think the default user shell in BSD is /bin/sh (?) which doesn't provide command completion. Any user can use the chsh command to change their shell. To see what shells are currently installed # cat /etc/shells You may need to install BASH from the ports collection, and I think it comes with csh and/or tcsh pre-loaded. <...> HTH - JB > |-John Bleichert----syborg@stny.rr.com----------------| |-------------------http://vonbek.dhs.org/latest.jpg--| To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
