Hello: For six and nights almost non-stop, I've loaded and unloaded (formatted = the HDD) due to some bug (s) of sorts in this program. Even through the = Christmas holidays I've been busy with FreeBSD v5.1 and at the current = moment this problem still persists. This login/password business really sucks. More than 80 hours at this = installation has produced nothing but a headache. The current prompt reading at the console shows the characteristics: Dec 28 23:51:41 K7502000PRO.cfl.rr.com login: 5 LOGIN FAILURES ON ttyv0 GIVEN LOGIN: koolfd PASSWORD: fdwill4u2 SYSTEM MANAGEMENT PWD: purdue112 After all this time spent at this installation, I am beginning to have = second thoughts about this software. When I reboot the system it goes right into the program and pauses at = the six options screen, where I would normally type in the correct digit = to continue the boot process. All hell breaks loose right at the login prompt. Moreover, when I go = into the program to change the settings, it says that the item has not = be initialized, i.e., it will not allow any changes to the password, = etc. I have never, ever, spent as much time as this with an install. What's = up? I made a purchase at CompUSA a fews days ago and saw a copy of this = program on the shelf..$59.95. Why should it buy this product off the shelf, only to be confronted with = the current (login) problem? If you have a solution to this login problem, I will continue the = process of getting it to work. However, the clock on the wall says time = is running out. Furthermore, I really don't know what the program looks like. Until it = is configured correctly and booting, I have the faintest idea what it = looks like. Originally, I thought the real problem was with the four HDDs attached = to the system. With that many drives attached, it posed a problem for = me because I could hardly identify the correct one for the install. = With your disk id scheme, I decided to unplug three of the drives and = use a single one, which proved to be less confusing. As a new user of this system, it has been a tremendous undertaking = working with this program. Everything is new and different, as opposed = to MS-DOS/Windows. Nevertheless, as a new comer, I find the program = very interesting. I would appreciate any suggestions in resolving this login/password = problem Thanks in advance Regards, Flem D.
