kory> inetd[xxxx]: login_getclass: unknown class 'root' kory> kory> I also see similar messages with I try to "su". I'm running 2.2.2-RELEASE. kory> What is causing this and how can I fix it? This is a file I found at the FreeBSD ftp site. Hope this is helpful for others having the same problem as I've seen this question many times. jkh@time-> more ERRATA.TXT 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, mount the 2nd CDROM and copy it from the live filesystem (cp /cdrom/usr/src/etc/login.conf /etc) instead. o sysconfig scrambles rc.conf if run again. Fix: Get updated /usr/src from RELENG_2_2 branch and build /usr/src/release/sysinstall, copying the new binary to /stand. If you do not have enough space for src then you could also use the boot/fixit floppy combo from a later 2.2-YYMMDD-RELENG release to simply mount your root partition (using the Fixit option) and copy /stand/sysinstall from the floppy to /stand on your root fs.
