you can also use the NetInfo Manager in Utilities. In the security tab there is a Change Root User Password option.

What's the password? By default you can't su to root on OS X. However, you can use sudo. So this is effectively the same as su'ing to root: sudo /bin/bash The password will be your password for the account you are using, assuming it has Administrator privleges. -- Ben Reser <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://ben.reser.org "What upsets me is not that you lied to me, but that from now on I can no longer believe you." -- Nietzsche

Re: Modem Configuration
Stew, Thanks alot for this important information. I have had MacOS X for a number of months. I have yet to figure out the dual-password system: a password for the Graphic interface and a second password for Terminal interface. I still don't know how to become a superuser from Darwin. What's the password? I just discovered Konsole - Super User Mode. Will you please tell me the default password is and how to change password from Terminal interface? (I know from doing this in RedHat that the # in the prompt means superuser.)

Modem Configuration
Hi there, Thanks for the feedback on ethernetting. I'm going to postpone that project until I get Java and gcc up, spattered with some JNI. It seems I just have to find a free server for MacOS X. (On the other hand the MacOS 8.6 functions great as a server without server software!) For the short term, all of my development files will fit on one CD. ___ The immediate problem is modem configuration: The gnome-ppc gives this error: The pppd daemon died unexpectedly. kppp goes like this: kppp can not find: /dev/modem Please make sure you have setup your modem device properly and/or adjust the location of the modem device on the modem tab of the setup dialog. Hardware of Control Center shows five PCI devices on the PowerBook G3. I can do some research to find out which PCI device is the modem. If you would like this information let me know. I didn't look real hard, but I didn't see any help or links to Modem Configuration? Tomás
