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
