    hi again,

    well, i've tried a bit playin with the /etc/master.passwd, adduser,
    vipw an so on.

    now i use the bash shell. but, i am not able to change my enviroment
    variables anymore. trying "set EDITOR emacs" did not work. when ich
    echo my editor variable, it is empty. though i have changed my shell
    back to csh in the /etc/master.password file, when i log on i still
    use the bash.

    rebooting the system or kill -1 1 didn't do any good. i am getting
    confused now a bit. acually changes in the master.passwd file should
    take effect in any case, shouldn't they?

    pleas help.

    mailto:freebsd@xtsy.de
