Hi,
I installed BSD 2.2.7 and everything went fine. . . .except for the fact that I can't seem to get root access. I set up my user login info just fine, but I wasnt prompted for root login setup during config, only password (which I did config). I am TOTALLY new to BSD so I'm thinking that it was just my inexperience. How do you set up root login (name only, not password) during install? Can you config that after install? How?
thanks,
john terris
