I am currently trying out FreeBSD 2.2.5 and I am having 2 problems : 1. If I change the root login shell in /etc/passwd to /bin/sh instead of /bin/csh , it still comes up as "csh" when I login as root. 2. The /etc/passwd file has * for all passwords. This is confusing because older unix systems used * to DISABLE a user login. If * is NOT disable, then how do I disable a user login ? Would appreciate any help on the above problems. Thanks & Regards, Brendan Kosowski. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
