.... I have been trying to setup the regular user (me, non-root) on my 
newly minted FreeBSD 9.3 box. I tried su-ing from tooy & ssh-ing in as 
me from another box, both give weird results, see the following from my 
syslog:

/home/wam/.login_conf: Permission denied


also, the home-directory keeps getting the 'x' permission bit set to off 
by .... something ....


I can ssh in as root no sweat, but problems as regular user .... more 
pilot error, I suspect :-/ ...
