When you login directly from the console, you should review the error logs. Become familiar with all the files in /var/log. Run a 'tail -30 nameoflogfile' for example. In particular, for this issue, you will want to focus on /var/log/messages and /var/log/auth.log ...D _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
