Hi:
This should help.
Last minute errata:
-------------------
o login as root produces "login_getclass: unknown class 'root'" on system
console.
Fix: If you have the source distribution installed, simply
cp /usr/src/etc/login.conf /etc
otherwise, get it from the FreeBSD FTP site using this URL:
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/FreeBSD-current/src/etc/login.conf
instead. Simply cd to /etc and then run fetch(1) with the provided
URL.
