Thanks
I have done this and posted this reply:
Ok so I have logged in now as a different user. So now when I got to:
Desktop -> Administration -> Networking
i get prompted for the root password, which I enter and it works.
But when I go to any of the rest:
Desktop -> Administration -> Services
Desktop -> Administration -> Shared Folders
Desktop -> Administration -> Time and Date
Desktop -> Administration -> Users and Groups
now I am prompted for the root password. But after I enter it, it
tells me i have entered the wrong password!!!
I have tried it several times, am 100% sure of the password as I use
it all the time. Strange thing is: why does it work for networking
and nothing else???
I am running freeBSD 6.0-RELEASE with gnome 2.12.3 (built 02/23/06).
I have searched the gnome forums and not come up with anything.
