Hi there,
yesterday I posted a mail in which I described my troubles
with the mouse under X-Windows . . . . .
Now I know why the mouse does not work.
In /dev/ there should be the files/links mouse and
quadmouse. THEY AREN'T THERE !!
The mouse is correctly reported during booting
as quadmouse0 at address blabla.
What can I do ?
Do I have to install RiscBSD new ?
. . . . and the user kle who is always root but not really root ?!?
Yesterday I created a new user kle2 with an ID not the same
as root and a new home dir /home/kle2. Then all worked fine with kl2, first.
After several logins and logouts the same troubles occured as with
user kle. RiscBSD tells me when logging in as kle2 :" Don't login as root
use su" and asks me which termial I would like. The joke is that I do
not have the rights as a 'real' root. For example I cannot start
X-Windows with the startx command. RiscBSD tells me that only root
wants to do this. Isn't it paradox ?
How can I delete users ? Is it enough to delete the lines of the user
in /etc/passwd and master.passwd or do I have to do more ?
Cheers
Wolfgang
