Ok, this is a stupid question and I fully understand if it's laughed at.. :-) Last night I began an FTP install of FreeBSD 4.1-RELEASE over my modem. This morning it was done. So, I rebooted into it and added a new user for myself. Then I went to work. My plan was to mess with installing the various ports and things I want during free time at work. Since I have a modem, this takes a long time (which is why I wanted to do this all at work so when I got home things were ready to play with). Unfortuntatly, I forgot to put myself in the wheel group and so I can't su to root. And root is, of course, not allowed to login via telnet by default. So.. Is there ANY possible way around this or am I just stuck until I get home? *hangs head in shame* Thanks, Sean To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
