When sysinstall asks if you want to make any last minute changes, select "yes" and then try to change the root password. Notice that the output from /usr/bin/passwd is missing carriage returns and that you must use ^J to terminate lines. Reboot and notice that you can't login using the password you just entered... >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
