The 'im' message comes across file and the 'login:' prompt but as soon as I enter the user name and getty hands control over to login I am back with parity (and I think cs7) again. I don't yet have the sources and am not real familar with BSD so I would appreciate it if someone could tell me how to stop login from doing this. Where can I get an accurate 'init' manual? My system can't seem to find users past about the 8th line in /etc/passwd (or /etc/master.passwd, whichever it is looking in). Is this a known bug? Please reply via E-mail and I will post results. Thanks in advance, Kevin
