It states: o login as root produces "login_getclass: unknown class 'root'" on system console. Fix: If you have the source distribution installed, simply cp /usr/src/etc/login.conf /etc otherwise, get it from the FreeBSD FTP site using this URL: ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/FreeBSD-current/src/etc/login.conf instead. Simply cd to /etc and then run fetch(1) with the provided URL. Greg
