I try to go to root # via "su" and it tells me that I cannot because I'm not # in the correct group?!?! In FreeBSD, to su to root, you need to be in a group called wheel. Login directly as root and in /etc/groups, add your username to the line that starts with wheel. If you want to change your default shell, run: chsh -s /bin/[shell_name] [username] There are other ways of changing your shell (like vipw?). -- Linh Pham [lplist@closedsrc.org] // 404b - Brain not found To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
