If you are trying to telnet in as root, initially the FreeBSD system is setup to not allow this. Best answer is to setup another user and telnet into the box (or FTP) using the new i.d. Or, you can change your access for telnet and FTP and allow root access. Your choice. For Windows95, what will you want your wife to do? Disk access via NFS? Telnet or FTP? It depends on what you want the Windows95 box to do, and for that matter, the FreeBSD box, in the grand scheme of your household computing center. :-) Based on your answer, one of us could do a better job of pointing you to the appropriate docs. Let us know. John
