    So I installed FreeBSD 5.1, used cvsup to get freebsd 5.1-current,
    recompiled, and now logging in locally doesn't require a password, for
    root or other users. Neither does su. ssh does. Is this normal or ... ?

    Here's the output of 'uname -a'
    FreeBSD yellow.setec.nu 5.1-CURRENT FreeBSD 5.1-CURRENT #0: Mon Jul 7
    08:19:29 PDT 2003 matt@yellow.setec.nu:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/MYKERNEL
    i386

    Thanks in advance,

    Matt
