I installed FREEBSD 2.0 this weekend and when it came up it asked me
to initiate new accounts.  I did.  When I logged in to my personal
account - not root - everything appeared OK until I tried to edit
login with vi.  vi would not start up!  "log db ..." was the symptom.
Also, when I tried to su, I was informed by the system that I was not
part of an authorized group to even attempt su.  What is going on and
how can I correct it?
