Hi Bill and All, I thank you and all for your concern and support. I think when I was given the post configuration setup during the last phase of the sysinstall, I made the mistake of not saving the result. I will setup on FreeBSD-6.2 tomorrow again. I will monitor the process and keep alert during the post installation setup especially on the section when adding users on the system.
