I can login as a normal user just not as root, I can't key in su to get in as superuser either. 1) Don't use telnet, use ssh, for security. 2) Are you in the wheel group? Erik suggested I use ssh, I've never used ssh before and when I do it says the connection has been refused. The root user is in the wheel group, I have a user called jim which is in a group called group he is able to login using telnet. The best thing to do is to add the user jim to the wheel group, then you should be able to login as him over ssh, then su to superuser, and do virtually everything root can do. It is considered a security risk to allow root access to ssh. But it's your server. So if you want root to be able to login despite my warning. Edit /etc/ssh/sshd_config and find #PermitRootLogin no, remove the hash, and change the no to yes ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: compiling ports to packages on fast system, installing on slower one
Dave wrote: Hello, Hi I was wondering if this was possible? I've got a box that i'd like to install the latest gnome 2.14 desktop on, as well as some very intense apps to build. I would like to compile the needed apps on my fastest machine as packages, then transfer all the packages to the slower box, and do a pkg_add * and they're all installed. My catch is i don't want to install everything on my fastest box to pull this off. I am using portupgrade and was wondering if this was doable? Thanks.

Bascially it involves NFS and mounting the faster computers /usr/src /usr/ports after thier compiled on the faster machine. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: ndis problem

The wireless 'card' is a built-in Broadcom 802.11 b/g My PC is a Compaq V2607CL Turion based notebook I downloaded a driver kit from HP. It created c:\SWSetup\SP32158A\ In that folder I found bcmwl5.inf bcmwl5.sys bcmwl5npf.sys and lots of other files. The .INF file was UNICODE. But as far as I can tell the only special characters were in the [strings] section for various countries. I cut off all the other countries leaving just US and forced it to ASCII. ndiscvt gave no error messages. The make make install gave no error messages. I added an ndis linen to loader.conf to load the .ko dmesg shows no error messages. But it doesn't show ndis0: being recognized either. When I manually try kldload ndis it says it is already loaded. When I try ifconfig -a there is no ndis: When I try ifconfig ndis0: it says there is no interface. I don't know what else to try. Try using ndisgen to make the wrapper. ndisgen should create a bcwml5_sys.ko file in the directory, then you need to copy that file to /boot/kernel/ After that in your loader.conf add bcmwl5_sys_load=YES along with the ndis_load=YES. I beleive that the old way of creating the ndis drivers is either broken, or being faded out for ndisgen. I have the same wireless cards and this is the way i did it. So it should work. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
