Quoting John Ferrell <jdferrell3@yahoo.com>: Hi John ! > Is this what the documentation project had in mind? I welcome any comments, > suggestions, changes, etc. When you write: "It is recommended that the root's default shell remain unchanged, though." Maybe it would be nice to have a reference to the handbook. Which I have perused, but couldn't find anything relevant. There is actually no such recommendation in the HB :-( The one I found was this: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/faq/security.html#TOOR-ACCOUNT pertaining to the "toor" account, which gives a nice explanation. (slightly OT: we might want to add such an explanation in the HB ?) I find the article pretty clear anyway :-) Maybe we should also mention the fact that there is no longer a "/proc" on procfs: FreeBSD uses "sysctl" instead ? (I know some GNU/Linux users who use /proc in their shells to grab info on the system, they might like to know they have to proceed differently). What do you (all) think ? cheers, gregory
