Hello. Let me ask a question. It is very trivial but I have been wondering for a long time. Mr. Charlie Root seems to have root account on so many FreeBSD systems. :) I wonder why the default name for root user in /etc/passwd is `Charlie &' and not John, Jack, Dick, Harry, etc. Can someone explain why (and when) this became the default? Maybe, it is just a common expression in English, but I do not know English so much. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
