As a fairly complete newbie to NetBSD, I'm probably going to buggin
y'all with lots of questions. The first one so far is about the root
login sequence:
I wanted to have the root sequence automatically set-up the vt220
terminal so I used this from a previous mail:
>edit /root/.login, e.g.
>
> eval `tset -s -m 'vt.*:vt420 :vt220'`
> stty crt
> echo "You are now logged in as root."
Now I can get in as root without having to supply a terminal type and I
have full root permissions, but these lines appear:
/root: Permission denied.
No match.
Then the command prompt appears.
I tried removing the "stty crt" line. I tried deleting the space
between "vt420" and ":vt220", but neither of those had any effect what
so ever.
What are these lines saying, what do they mean, and how to I fix them.
Thanks
Kev
