The NetBSD install seemed to go well and I have run the configure program and rebooted. Now comes the tricky part.. it asks me to login. Well..I want to login as superuser (su) so that I have full access to the system..BUT..the next question is password. Haven't got the foggiest as to what to do now. Is this password contained somewhere in the documentation for NetBSD? I have searched the FAQs and the install files and just about every other file I can think of for the words superuser or login and there is no reference to this particular problem(?). Only one glitch in configure that I can remember..when it asks for the IP(?) name..I gave it moser.host.domain. It complains that this is wrong but I'm not sure what name I should assign it. Bye the bye..I did actually get into the system by loggin in as root..but it complains later that I should not login as root but as su. So..I'm back to my original problem as to how to determine the password for superuser. Any help/suggestions would be appreciated. Thanx! Jim
