It's documented in the ERRATA.TXT file that comes with the 2.2.2 release files... Unfortunately I don't have access to the file anymore... :-( As far as I can remember you need to get a copy (or updated copy) of the file 'login.conf' in /etc If the machine has a very important job on your network - it may be better looking at 2.2.6 as a more stable option (and easily supported - all the 2.2.2-RELEASE sources have disappeared from most of the FTP sites - cutting off 'easy' access to them) Regards, Karl Pielorz To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
