`Charlie &' is the text that appears in /etc/passwd as the real name of
the root' user.  Obviously, kdm tries to be ``user-friendly'', showing
the real name of the user too, and managed to confuse you.

No worries.  Ignore it or check to see if a configuration option of kdm
can change the default user-display style.

Welcome to FreeBSD, BTW :-)
