I'm aware of /etc/login.conf and the like, but where do I start figuring out what's wrong? What would I have to -HUP after changing things, etc.? I know I could RTFM, but this does seem like a good thing to be in a FAQ, and my RTFFAQ turned up nothing. thanks, danny -- // dannyman yori aiokomete || Our Honored Symbol deserves \\/ http://www.dannyland.org/~dannyman/ || an Honorable Retirement (UIUC) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
