I just installed FreeBSD 5.0 on my PC and, while I'm extremely happy about this and have already spent many hours playing around, I've hit an annoying snag with the tab key file-name completion. Everything works just fine when I'm logged in as root, but when I try to use any of my other accounts I can't use this feature (I don't even get the [BEEP]). What am I doing wrong? Is it possible that my keyboard configuration is not carried over to the user accounts I set up? Obviously I don't want to go stomping around as root when I don't really know what I'm doing, but this has made entering commands a bit cumbersome and I'd like to figure out what I'm doing wrong.
