Is this kind of a safety measure? Isn't it simpler to activate ssh-agen

Right. This works.. I use "sh" as my shell, so I put the startup in

For bash I can use .bash_profile and .bash_logout to get things done at
login/logout time.
On my fbsd machine I use /bin/sh and I can't find how to execute things
at logout time (login is set in .profile). I.e. I want to remove the

As I understand I can execute a line like:
## burncd -f /dev/acd0c -s 12 data win98.iso fixate
For this to work I create the iso file system w/ mkisofs.
OK, but what if I just want to backup some files on my fbsd system to

Not a particular fbsd question but as I do run vmware2 on my fbsd box I
ask it here ;-))

I follow the logic of this. Maybe my confusion arose from the fact
I have an annoying problem. Whenever I want to go to single user mode
and run "shutdown now" the system freezes. Nothing happens; I one
waited for ten minutes or more. Sometimes toggling "ctrl+c" or "enter,
enter, enter" smees to work but I never see when exactly.
Something does not go right I sup

I cannot find a way to create the "ftp" account on my fbsd-4.7R needed
for running anonymous ftp server.
I guess it has to be a system account, and I can only find how to create
