I installed apache24 from ports. added the requisite line to rc.conf to start apache on boot. I ran servic apache24 start to start the server. from another machine I established an ftp connection to the doc root and attempted to edit the default index.html page. The ftp client informed me I couldn't edit the page, and I realized that the ownership of the doc root needed to be changed to ftp user. SO, via ssh I attempted to login via su and the root password was refused. I went to the monitor attached to the server and attempted to log in as root. I kept getting refusals. I ended up having to dig up how to boot into single user mode to change root password. That I did. Now I can log in as root or su as usual. The point is that I did not fool around with the password file. Something else altered or corrupted it. Hopefully I don't now have a root kit hanging around. I am conderned about having to be connected to the internet so ports can fetch anything it sees fit. (this is why I had avoided using ports in the past). What services do I have to allow to and from the internet that are secure with respect to hosts.allow and tcpwrappers, for the sake of ports? Thanks for patience JK
