newb questions
ok, so I got this freebsd server up and running, even able to ssh to it. questions: 1. when I run startx it auto logs me in on a minimal gui ( twm?). I installed gnome, I think, and want to log in using gnome, how do I change that? 2. I cannot su - to root, it says sorry. pam_group didn't seem like the answer, or I didn't read it right. How can I su to root from my account? Is there anything special to able to do that from ssh? 3. the boot loader... This server has 2 drives, and I already had w2k server on drive 1, and ubuntu-server on drive 2. when I boot, I now get options for F2-DOS ( win2k boots) and F5 disk0/1. I can't seem to find any option for my ubuntu OS. Is there a way to change that bootloader option to add /dev/sdb6-ubuntu? maybe I was looking in the wrong documentation, if any/all of this is in the docs, which one? the handbook? thanks -- Paul Cartwright ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

(You will have to log out then back in for the changes to take effect) wheel group, who-da thunk it. I was looking for admin/root group. And you can't do this in ssh unless you enabled root logins, obvious chicken and egg. Will need to do this with a local root login. already done and working. thanks! -- Paul Cartwright Registered Linux user # 367800 Registered Ubuntu User #12459 ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

You can use boot0cfg -v disk (e.g. boot0cfg -v ad0) to get information about the boot0 configuration. nice, except boot0cfg -v ad1 doesn't recognize ad1's current partitioning scheme.. I'll have to go back into gparted to see what slice my other OS is booted from. At least this points me in the right direction, thanks! -- Paul Cartwright ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
virtualbox networking setup
I'm new to the group, and I'm new to setting up VirtualBox guest hosts. right now I have a Debian linux box, and I setup Virtual box. I installed FreeBSD on it, but I can't seem to get the networking to work. I tried to rerun sysinstall, but I'm not sure what options to change or why it isn't working. I have the command line terminal window up, but in the virtualbox window, I cannot copy past to here, so I can't paste the ifconfig info.. it does say inet 0.0.0.0, but it does say UP, BROADCASTING... I looked at the usermanual, but I didn't see anything about actually setting up the network, using DHCP... I hae a home network, with a router, gateway 192.168.10.1, and my desktop is in that subnet 192.168.10.x not sure what to do now... thanks, I grew up with ATT UNIX SYS V, but it's been a few years:) -- Paul Cartwright Registered Linux user # 367800 Registered Ubuntu User #12459 ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
