I've installed FBSD 2.2.5, read the manual, and have exhausted all ideas about how to solve the problems I'm encountering. When I set up my user ID, I made sure to include it in the wheel group, but it doesn't seem like I'm getting the permissions I should. I'm getting permission denied messages in /sbin, even though all the flags are identical to files in /bin. Also, my shell and login scripts in my home directory are not visible to me unless I change to su. Also, my path always shows up the same when I use env, no matter what changes I make to my .login file in my user directory after I change to su. The path in my .login file includes /usr/X11R6/bin, but when I do an env, the path shown does not include it. If I try to use env to change the path to include /usr/X11R6/bin, it doesn't work. It just reverts back to the original. And even su doesn't seem to have the level of access it should. I get permission denied messages even with it. One thing I did notice is that when I change to su, I get a message saying: root:kerberos: 'root not a member of ACL' or something along those lines. Finally, when I installed FBSD (from CDROM), I specifically remember telling it to include games as part of the distribution, but the only directory I have under /usr/games is hide, which seems to be empty. Even as su I don't get anything with ls. I'm very frustrated.
