Wow ... I didn't realize there was a "user" account! You should *definitely* delete it ! (Just use the editor to delete the user line from /etc/master.passwd, run update and then reboot, the password database is rebuilt on every boot). GOOD CATCH ! THANKS !!
The net4501 versions of theWall do not have the "user" account, only the PC versions. I'm not sure how that happened, I must have picked master.passwd up from the original PicoBSD sources.
Of the accounts you list only root and user should be able to login, the rest are disabled. I *believe* the other accounts are needed for proper operation of the system daemons, but I'm not sure.
Hello freebsdfan,
after the installation there are a lot of users.
toor, daemon, operator, bin, nobody ,user
Are they all nessesarry, and were are they used for and is it possible to change the passwords??
Can i get information about this on the internet?
I know the user root and the passwd-Command.
Is it possible to log in via one of the other users?
Is it a security risk that if i am logged in with root i can't logout because the command is missing?
thanks
Rainer

The FreeBSD man pages are available on the FreeBSD web site here: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?manpath=FreeBSD+4.5-RELEASE
You can logout by typing ctrl-D. The logout command is a csh built-in command, theWall uses sh which does not have the command.
