Just edit the /etc/group file and put that user in that group. That is the normal way of doing it. I would not suggest making wheel be the primary group for any other than root accounts. ////jerry > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" ------------------------------ Message: 6 Date: Tue, 20 Jan 2009 15:31:09 -0500 From: Steve Bertrand Subject: Re: Edit user groups To: Akenner Cc: questions@freebsd.org Message-ID: <4976348D.4010502@ibctech.ca> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Akenner wrote: > Hi, > > I'm using FreeBSD 7.1-RELEASE and I have multiple user accounts set up. > I made about 4 for myself to use and do various testing with, and made > some for my Wife as well because She knows UNIX better than I do anyway > heh. > > Anyway, one of the things I forgot about, was that FreeBSD by default > doesn't allow just anyone to use su. > > I come from mainly using Linux, where you can log in and then whenever > you need to open a root xterm or even a root shell, you just type the > password and go.

Yes. # ee /etc/group ...and add your username to the list of users after the wheel group.

For me the problem had nothing to do with ports but with the update itself, because it replaced my pwd.db and spwd.db with the default ones (root with no password, no user accounts) and since ssh doesn't accept root logins I ended up going to the datacenter and copying the backups of those db's back. Then everything was fine again. Very strange they got replaced though.. Sounds like you've had something similar happen to you. Hopefully your machine isn't too far away.

A subsequent message of your verified that the hierarchy being read was on an NFS-mounted file system. Perchance, was that NFS mount managwed by amd(8)? If so, while I do not have a "fix" for you, I am relieved to see someone else finally report these symptoms. Please see for an archived copy of my initial message in a thread reporting this. There is additional detail (including kernel trace information & how-to-repeat instructions) in subsequent messages in the thread. Also mentioned is a circumvention -- basically, crippling amd(8) so it no longer attempts to unmount() a file system. However, I was unable to re-create the symptoms at home -- only at work. A colleague at work was able to re-create the symptoms, and was intending to experiment a bit more, but he's been busy with other things recently. Please contact me (off-list, if you prefer), and we can discuss additional details. Peace, david -- David H.

I have an Aten CS64A PS/2 4 port KVM and it works fine with my 3 button mouse, supporting all 3 buttons and the scroll wheel. I've had FreeBSD, linux, Win98, XP and Vista boxes running through it at various times over the last 2 years and it's always worked just fine. My only minor niggle was that if I booted my FreeBSD box while the monitor was connected to one of the other boxes then KDE started up in 1024x768 mode instead if the monitor's default 1280x1024 mode.

For future runs, you might consider using something like screen (/usr/ports/sysutils/screen) so you can resume the session later, should you get disconnected.

If I recall correctly the index needed to be rebuilt at times, but portupgrade gave a helpful message telling me that.
