Re: Login Password
[redirected from freebsd-i386 to freebsd-questions] Daniel Schleig [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: I just installed FreeBSD via ftp site and the installation was succesful. Now, when I boot up the computer, the system prompts me for a login/password to 'myhome.westell.com.' I have a westell 327 router that I use to connect to the internet for verizon. I set up a username and password previously for my modem but when I try to enter it on FreeBSD, it replys: Login Incorect. Is there a way I can change this or something I can do to set a login/password? FreeBSD does not know anything about your router or the password you chose there. It just uses 'westell.com' as domain name because your router's dhcp server told it to. There is probably a configuration option on your router that lets you specify a different domain name. If you did not create a user during installation, simply log in as root and create a user for yourself. If you weren't asked for a root password during installation, just press enter at the password prompt, and immediately set a root password with 'passwd root'.

That means that you use the login anonymous and your email address as a password. There's a list of FTP mirrors at: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/mirrors-ftp.html You copy the files via whatever method your FTP client supports. Typically, a modern web-browser can handle an ftp:// URI and you can drag-and-drop the files. But you didn't even mention what platform you're using. Incidentally, there's a lot of stuff on the FTP site, and you're not going to know what to download without consulting further resources. The FreeBSD handbook is a good place to dive in. -- Adam Fabian ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

There's absolutely no way I can help in actually getting the files without knowing what client you're using; that's an issue to take up with the FTP software's creators, not with FreeBSD, anyway. -BB ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Regards, Steve You could also boot into single-user mode (type boot -s at the boot prompt), then you will be logged in as root automatically (without having to give the password -- unless you disabled that in /etc/ttys). Then simply type passwd and enter a new password for root (twice).

Re: login/password
Thanks that worked, But now I have another question, When it boots I enter my user name and password but all I get is a command prompt, how am I supposed to get into free bsd (or is that it?) Well, it doesn't look like much at the command prompt, but yes, that's it. The wonderful world of the power of BSD is now at your fingertips. If you are looking for a fancy GUI interface that can sit on top of the command prompt, start by reading the handbook...here is the section you want: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/x11.html If you are not familiar with unix basics, there are several books out there, and thousands of online tutorials. Google is your friend. I don't know your familiarity level, but the one most helpful command will be 'man'. the man command will allow you to view usage information on various commands. In essence typing something like: # man passwd will open the manual page for the passwd program. Most all commands have corresponding manual pages that can be accessed in this manner. For more information on the 'man' command, type: # man man Well, I hope this gives you a start. Note the entire handbook for FreeBSD can always be accessed from here: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ and it is certainly worth a read, a second read, then as a reference manual.
