Hello; I don't think we have a framebuffer, at least not like Linux. Check out the VESA module and wait for the KGI port to arrive (not soon but work is going on). cheers, Pedro. = --- Pedro F. Giffuni M.SC. Industrial Eng. University of Pittsburgh Mech. Eng. Unive

If I had to take a guess, the reason normal user logins are disabled during "insecure" on single mode is because of the way authentication may be getting handled, among other things. First off, it's single-user mode, meant for only the root user; no one else has a need for the system at that point

Hello hackers... I'm wondering why there is "insecure" options in /etc/ttys for virtual consoles. As we all know, "insecure" for ttyvX means that we can't directly log in as root, but "insecure" for console field in /etc/ttys means only that we will be asked for root's password in single mode. Hm

Hi all, I've recently had the pleasure of configuring a FreeBSD machine as a Samba Primary Domain Controller. In smb.conf, one can specify an "add user script" directive to automate the creation of machine accounts. Otherwise, you have to manually create accounts for each machine on the network.
