Polytropon,
Thank you for your patience and your help. I deleted the last line
instead of commenting it out and changed autologin to test, and voila,
it worked. The suggestions for the hostname also worked beautifully
:)
The following changes made it work:
/*
In
/etc/gettytab
ttyv0 "/usr/libexec/getty test" cons25 on secure
and removed the other line that had the same execpt for test/autologin(had Pc)
In
/etc/ttys
test:\
:al=olivares:ht:np:sp#115200:
changed that word autologin to test and it made the difference.
I cannot thank you enough for helping me with this issue. You made
the difference between a *frustrated FreeBSD* to a *Happy and enjoying
FreeBSD" user :)
Now, I have more than one machine running FreeBSD successfully and
with different desktops. Polytropon, thanks a million for your help.
Regards,
Antonio
