Hi all,

iŽm following this freeBSD chat for a long time and i also wish to submit a question regarding a FreeBSD Version 7.0, which i installed yesterday.
After logging in as root, i started with startx and Gnome and KDE3.
>From there i wanted to configure Network, DNS etc., but it(System popup)  says, that i donŽt have rights to configure as there is no permisions for that;-( , although directly logged as ROOT!
But this problem does not arises with the FreeBSD 6.2, which iŽm running for a more than a year!!.

What should do i do?

I appreciate for an positive solution.


Best Regards,

Sisantha
