Hi all. I'm running 2.2.8 on a 486 and I need to be able to modify some of the config files as root. The problem is that I have no monitor connected to the freebsd machine so I connect via telnet. I first have to log in as a user in group wheel and then su each time. Security is not really an issue as it is just a development machine. Can anyone either direct me to a tutorial on the subject or give me some concise intructions. I've tried reading the handbook etc but haven't managed to sort it out that way. Please cc me as I'm not currently subscribed to the list. Thanks in advance, Mik Thwaite To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
