I am currently trying out FreeBSD 2.2.5 and I am having 2 problems :


1. If I change the root login shell in /etc/passwd to /bin/sh instead of
/bin/csh , it still comes up as "csh" when I login as root.

2. The /etc/passwd file has * for all passwords. This is confusing because
older unix systems used * to DISABLE a user login. If * is NOT disable,
then how do I disable a user login ?


Would appreciate any help on the above problems.

Thanks & Regards, Brendan Kosowski.
