Hi,
I'm using FreeBSD 1.0.2 and XFree-2.0. Both are working fine, but there
are two things I have problems with:
1. How could I startup X, so that one xterm shown a loginbanner ?
2. I'm running an xterm and type 'exec login'. A login-message
appears and I login as root. Then, the system asks for a terminal
type and I take the default ( xterm ).
But if I type 'set', the environmental variable TERM is empty.
( The first two xterm opening during startup asking for a
terminaltype too, but there it works...
Does anyone know what to do ?
Michael
