The program "vipw" is designed to let you edit this file, read "man vipw". (Be warned, it invokes VI as the default editor, so you might want to do "setenv EDITOR your-favorite-editor" if you don't know how to use vi [but you should know and love vi :) ]) > 3. is there a way to scroll with "alt+pageup/down" and have colour in a > console term ? iam missing it, because i changed from linux to FreeBSD > iam also missing the actual path at the command prompt :( The "Scroll Lock" key will toggle your console into backscroll mode, where you will be able to use arrows and PgUp/Dn keys. The FreeBSD console supports colour, having color in your directory listings and having your path in your command prompt is just a change in your choice of shell or configuration file. (Can someone on the list suggest what the right choices are to achieve this? shell / config file?)
