I received my FreeBSD 2.1.6 from Walnut Creek today and bought a Cyrix P166+ system, installed everything, and am up and running! Here are some questions I have: Is there a tutorial for running ppp to an ISP which gives dynamic IP assignments via ppp? I've never used ppp before and am very confused. (I just used "ppp" and "term" to access the modem - so I'm sure the hardware is configured properly - and the modem is in COM2) Also, when I made myself a user, I forgot to add group 0 to me so I could 'su root' later... How do I add a group to a user? Thanks! david David A. Bader, Ph.D. Office: 301-405-6755 Institute for Advanced Computer Studies FAX: 301-314-9658 A.V.
