I recently opened a machine to the public for educational purposes, and of course I am referring users to the Handbook when I'm unavailable to personally show them the ropes. So just out of curiosity, to see what my users will be reading, I checked out the "UNIX Basics" section (I had migrated to FreeBSD from an above-newbie level of experience with Linux, so I never did read that section), and I noticed that there's a lack of documentation on the basics of users, groups, and the general "what you should do if this is your first login" sort of thing. I'm ready, willing, and able to write such documentation, if it would be accepted. One small question, though: Should I alter an already-existing file, or create a new one? --=-dgm2gdspVWIVdD4Rxyr/ Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQA+sdzxUdqurN0fljsRApAVAJ9Vr8n4JRZWpVIQBWDNBfXxb9S8YQCgo/Mu SJn/+6wcjEU3aUonyCqPwW0= =1EGB -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-dgm2gdspVWIVdD4Rxyr/--
