Polytropon, Thank you for your patience and your help. I deleted the last line instead of commenting it out and changed autologin to test, and voila, it worked. The suggestions for the hostname also worked beautifully :) The following changes made it work: /* In /etc/gettytab ttyv0 "/usr/libexec/getty test" cons25 on secure and removed the other line that had the same execpt for test/autologin(had Pc) In /etc/ttys test:\ :al=olivares:ht:np:sp#115200: changed that word autologin to test and it made the difference. I cannot thank you enough for helping me with this issue. You made the difference between a *frustrated FreeBSD* to a *Happy and enjoying FreeBSD" user :) Now, I have more than one machine running FreeBSD successfully and with different desktops. Polytropon, thanks a million for your help.
