hi again, well, i've tried a bit playin with the /etc/master.passwd, adduser, vipw an so on. now i use the bash shell. but, i am not able to change my enviroment variables anymore. trying "set EDITOR emacs" did not work. when ich echo my editor variable, it is empty. though i have changed my shell back to csh in the /etc/master.password file, when i log on i still use the bash. rebooting the system or kill -1 1 didn't do any good. i am getting confused now a bit. acually changes in the master.passwd file should take effect in any case, shouldn't they? pleas help. mailto:freebsd@xtsy.de
