Hi,
I am new to NetBSD.
Have installed it once or twice before and not used it actually.
I have been using OpenBSD and FreeBSD for a few years now.
I want to migrate my Samba Domain Controller from FreeBSD 6.1 to
NetBSD 3.1 so I installed it and just tried to get familiar with it.
I just found some thing strange and wouls like to hear what it is from
some one who knows :-)
===============================================================
vtcdc: {12} visudo
visudo: Command not found.
vtcdc: {11} su
Password:
su: Sorry: authentication error
vtcdc: {15} su
Password:
'vtcdc: {1} whoami
Unmatched '.
vtcdc: {2} exit
vtcdc: {3} exit
vtcdc: {16} su
Password:
vtcdc: {2} whoami
root
vtcdc: {3}
=====================================================================
In the First two lines I tried to Configure sudo ( as is my practice
in OpenBSD ) but found visudo is missing. hope i wil have to install
it through pkgsrc right?
In the Second paragraph I mistyped the the root password and it gave
the error "Sorry: authentication error"
I think I typed or mistyped the password again
see the prompt starts with a '
==================
'vtcdc: {1} whoami
Unmatched '.
================
what happened here really?
Thankyou so much :-)
Kind Regards
Siju
