I've installed Gnome and added "gdm_enable="YES"" in /etc/rc.conf, then everytime system boots, it says: gdm-binary[939]: WARNING: gdm_config_parse: Can't find the GDM user 'gdm'. Aborting! gdm_config_parse: Can't find the GDM user 'gdm'. Aborting! Then GDM cannot correctly start.. Anyway, after I login, I still can start gnome by "startx"... But what's wrong with my GDM??? I've checked /ect/passwd and /ect/group, there's no gdm in them. So I added it manually simply copy from /etc/passwd.bak, and then reboot, the error remains the same... Talking about user, I realize something is wrong with adduser too... When I try to add a new user(no matter by "adduser" or "pw"), I failed everytime... And it says: pw: user 'onlyjulien' disappeared during update adduser: ERROR: There was an error adding user (onlyjulien). When I try to add user (onlyjulien) again, it says "pw: user 'onlyjulien' already exists". But if I try to login as "onlyjulien", it says login incorrect... I remember that, some errors occured when I install FreeBSD 7.0 release via CDs. There's something wrong with CD2, some packages hadn't been installed because some data lost... And I copied something to /home/root/, then the disk was full...But I didn't realise it. After this, I try to add new user, but I failed because of no more space left. Then I delected some files in /home/root/ to make some free space, and then adduser again, that was when I started to fail everytime... What is this all about??? How can I fix those problems??
