Kevin,
Thank you for your comments. If I may correct you on all of them...
When installing from RPM, binaries will be placed in /usr/sbin and
configuration into /etc. This is consistent with standard practice.
When installing from SOURCE, binaries will by default be placed in
/usr/local/sbin and configuration into /usr/local/etc. Again, this is
consistent with standard practice. It also made abundantly clear in the
installation documentation which, from your comments, you do not appear to
have read.
The error you are reporting - 'vsd_priv access' and an inability to log into
your server - sounds like an error which was reported on the support list
recently:
http://www.freevsd.org/support/mail-archives/freevsd-support/2001/Mar/0324.h
tml. You will find an explanation of the problem there.
You may find the final reply informative as well:
