I need to protect the system from the previous user. I have FreeBSD 4. I do a following thing: type /usr then # passwd Changing local password for root. New password: Retype new password: passwd: updating the database... passwd: done after this dialog when I am asked to enter password for Charlie&root nothing has changed. I suppose I don't have to change a local password but some other. How to do it?
