I think it is a backup root login with a simple sh. so incase you were unable to login as root due to say a corrupt shell, you can use toor to login to a simple shell. I do not know how to activate the account. I cannot seem to use passwd on it or login using the root passwd. Can some one give more info... thanks -Satya ----------------- Satya Devireddy satya@dspsoft.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
