  i'm going to install freebsd 2.0 tonight and want to
know the PROPER way to install the "secdist" des security
package (i.e., how do i keep my password files from becoming
interpreted incorrectly and locking me out?).  i screwed up
my 1.1.5 installation beyond repair (by myself, anyway) by 
trying to install secdist.

   thanks,

adam mitchell

Just use the all singing and dancing install, and you will be home
safe.

	I think you can also just set you root/toor password to nothing for the
length of the secrdist installation. Then you can set you password again once you
are finished.
