This is it I guess. I chose bash shell and the default schell is the csh. There is a file called .login in my home directory /home/olivares/.login which has: $ $FreeBSD: src/share/skel/dot.login,v 1.17.2.1.5.1 2010/06/14 02:09:06 kensmith Exp % # # .login - csh login script, read by login shell after '.cshrc' at login. # # see also csh(1), environ(7), # if (-x /usr/games/fortune ) /usr/games/fortune freebsd-tips if [! -f /tmp/.X0-lock ]; then /usr/local/bin/startx fi and it clearly says that is for 'csh login', so I would need something else? > > >> 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. > > This again is a message from the system's MTA.
