Hi, I just installed FreeBSD 4.3 Now I need to add myself to the "wheel" group in order to be able to su to root. (I'm assuming it's "wheel" because that's what it is in NetBSD and OpenBSD). There doesn't seem to be a usermod (or useradd, userdel for that matter), and /stand/sysinstall only allows you to add new users. Do I need to install an additional package, or should I just vi my /etc/group? And how do I delete a user without "userdel -r"? Another thing: I see the encrypted password is stored in /etc/passwd. How do I enable shadow passwords? (Does this have anything to do with my security level?) Thanks, Andreas.
