It looks like program (su, maybe?) is looking for ~/.login_conf using the _secure_path() function. Try changing that home directroy to /var/empty , which is an empty directory with no write permission provided for cases when you need one. -- Dan Nelson [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
