The same case, spelling... FooBar is not the same as Foobar is not the same as FoobaR is not the same as foobar. -- |Chris Costello <chris@calldei.com> |Schizophrenia beats being alone. `---------------------------------- Justin: Log in to your system as root with your given root password, then enter passwd username at the prompt, replacing username with the user account you created. Specify a new password and you should be just fine. I'd wager there's a typo somewhere along the line. In the future, please refer these kinds of inquiries to <freebsd-questions@freebsd.org>. This PR, I think, should be closed. State Changed From-To: open->closed See Matt Behrens followup response. |
