Question: if there's an /etc/nologin in place can root still login at the console? I want to start a 'make world' from home and then drive to where the computer is (90 minutes away if I'm lucky) and login at the console to build the kernel. The man page (login) just says logins are disabled, but I was wondering if root/console was a special case. System: FreeBSD 2.1.0 -> 2.1.7 Thanks. later, david -- David Hawkins -- dhawk@river.org Do you know what a pessimist is?
