Hello Tek
I think you donot have a root password it may be blank. And you know the
group of the root is wheel. your user group and root group is same so be
careful with that too.
Hi Prakash,
This is the 2nd time that I am facing this root password problem in
FreeBSD-6.2.
I did set the root password during sysinstall. In addition, I had even
created a user account in the wheel group. However, for some strange
reasons, the user got deleted and the root's password got reseted to
blank when the freebsd box got rebooted.
After reboot, I again have to manually set the root password and create
a user account once again. All is fine and well after that.
I have really found FreeBSD-6.2 stable and steady for production use
however.
Thanking you...

How do they get root access? su root or what? Did you set password for
the
root account or is it just empty?
