Polytropon, I have it almost working. The pam errors are not there anymore, but the machine stays at the Password: prompt. But above it there is a line that says: 554 5.3.0 host "localhost" unknown Aug 8 09:02:49 grullahighschool sm-mta[1090]: NOQUEUE: SYSERR(root): host "localhost" unknown Starting cron. ...... I had to add a localhost name and I added grullahighschool since I am going to work there and I am getting this machine prepared for work. Otherwise, I would see the error message when starting xfce: Could not load up Internet address for . This will prevent XFce from operating correctly, It may be possible to correct the problem by adding to the file /etc/hosts on your system when it had no hostname :(, I can go back to the /etc/rc.local solution, but would prefer to get this one working, the other has an advantage that once I log out, I can shutdown immediately, but this does not matter much. Thanks for your help and advice. And for others that might wonder, I did my a bit of searches, here's some to prove my point http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2004-March/042040.html http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2004-March/042074.html Regards, Antonio _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
