Thanks, > bfoster@super-highway.net Login as "root". Unless you set the password in the install process, you shouldn't need to enter one. Once you've logged in as root, use /usr/bin/passwd to set root's password. Then use /usr/sbin/adduser to create user logins. (Including one for yourself that you should put in group "wheel" so you can su to root rather than logging in as root on the console.)
