>Description:
hi mates,

yesterday i installed my version of freebsd, and i added an additional user account. i think i typed a wrong password ( not that what i wanted). this morning i wanted to login as the user and typed username and password --> login incorrect. now i wanted to login as root to fix the problem.
but when i typed the username and pressed enter i got a bash shell without requesting a password. thats really unsecure i think :)
now ill reboot my machine to see if i can login normaly as root at first! 
same problem. but when i press strg-c after typing the username i got an output --> Jan 4 10:07:19  login: pam_authenticate: Conversation error


so .. thats all, now ill reinstall FreeBSD cause thats the first time i have this prob with that release!
i think the problem was the wrong password while adding an addintional user ... dunno why :)


hope i could help u with that prob.

regards,
matthias
