Hi Benjamin. Joshua's earlier advice to do

># fsck -p

># mount -a -t ufs

prior to

# passwd root

did the trick for me. Thanks, sure wish I understood what most of this 
stuff does, but on the bright side a while back I wished I could make a 
useful machine out of FBSD, Apache, Perl etc.., so there is progress.

Thanks,

Marty
