Hi,
I installed BSD 2.2.7 and everything went fine. . . .except for the =
fact that I can't seem to get root access. I set up my user login info =
just fine, but I wasnt prompted for root login setup during config, only =
password (which I did config). I am TOTALLY new to BSD so I'm thinking =
that it was just my inexperience. How do you set up root login (name =
only, not password) during install? Can you config that after install? =
How?
thanks,
john terris =20
