Hello everyone,
Hello; I've tried to "guess" the most likely answers from the symptoms
your describe.
I have installed FreeBSD clean from start but everytime I try
to do something like say run ./configure
on my home directory, I get the "permission denied" message.
Which would indicate that "configure" exists in the current working
directory, but isn't set executable, at least not for the current user
(you). At least, that's the most likely scenario. If you "chmod 777
./configure", will it work?
Can anyone help me please. When i type in "su rajen" it seems

So, you are a member of the wheel group, and root has no password set.
You can tell if you are actually "logged in" by typing "id". If there's
no root password, this is not a Good Thing(tm) --- log in as root and
run "chpass". If "su" still doesn't ask you for a password after that,
write the list back, as you likely have a more serious problem.
