Re: _secure_path: cannot stat> /dev/null/.login_conf: Not a directory

Hi there

I have installed FreeBSD 7.0 production. After installation, I am getting
this message when server boots....

Could anybody tell what does it mean and how to fix this error???

_secure_path: cannot stat> /dev/null/.login_conf: Not a directory

Do you maybe have a user account whose home directory is /dev/null ? It
looks like program (su, maybe?) is looking for ~/.login_conf using the
_secure_path() function. Try changing that home directroy to
/var/empty , which is an empty directory with no write permission
provided for cases when you need one.
