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 =20 ------=_NextPart_000_003D_01C03144.89DA5BE0 Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META content=3D"text/html; charset=3Diso-8859-1" = http-equiv=3DContent-Type> <META content=3D"MSHTML 5.00.2614.3500" name=3DGENERATOR> <STYLE></STYLE> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=3D#ffffff> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>Hi,</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2> I installed = BSD 2.2.7 and=20 everything went fine. . . .except for the fact that I can't seem to get = root=20 access.
