Thanks everyone for helping me with the default shell changing question. I definitely know how to take care of that from now on. :) Now, I have another question. My system right now is not connected to any network, though normally it is connected to a 10BaseT Ethernet Network with a connection to the net (College Network). So even though I am not connected, when I installed FreeBSD I specified default IP addresses such as DNS, Router, and my own IP address - I know these by heart. Now <ahem> ;) when I was running Linux, if I started the system up without being connected to the network, no proglem. BUT, when I start up my system - the first thing wrong is that when it boots it freezes during a point where it states the IP address I gave it and the netmask. Is it here trying to resolve net addresses with the DNS? Anyway - so then also during the boot-up, when it tries to start the sendmail daemon it again freezes. Both times I ^C to continue. After the system is up, I can not run pine, only "mail". Pine freezes. Furthermore, I can not telnet to my own machine by either typing a) telnet machine.domain.edu b) telnet localhost c) telnet 127.0.0.1 All three times it freezes and I have to ^C. Finally, as another newbie question, does the MH mail handling system operate as a replacement for sendmail, or is it an addition to it? Thanks again everyone. John
