"$" is the default prompt for Bourne shell, "%" is the equivalent on C shell and finally "#" is the prompt for root (default prompt). If you want to see tha # prompt you *must* login as root, beware that root is the most powerfull guy in the system...besides electricity ;-) > > does it makes any difference if it's '$' or this '#'???? If so, how can change > "$" to "#"???? if you have a $ prompt, give type csh and then the enter key and you will have a % prompt, and/or you can type su and the root password and you will get the # prompt. But before you destroy you Unix installation, grab a good Unix book and read it. raymundo > > Please help me out in here.... i'm getting really frustrated. > > > Kerwin Lorenzo --> *-=):+D > NetFusion.com, CIO and Co-Founder > Member of the Lorenzo Group of dot-Companies To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
