-Boot Manager Selection:
------------------------
-
-If you wish to switch between multiple operating systems on your
-machine, or if you are trying to install FreeBSD on a drive other than
-your 1st drive, then you must install a boot manager. In the case
-where you wish to boot off an alternate drive, it should also be noted
-that you still need to install a boot manager on the FIRST drive!
-Even if you do not intend to create a FreeBSD partition on that drive
-(e.g. it's being wholly used by something else), the boot manager
-still needs to reside on the first disk in order to function as a
-"redirector" for the boot process.
-
-To do this, simply select your 1st drive in the drive selection menu
-and when the partition editor comes up, don't make any changes - just
-(Q)uit. At the boot manager menu which follows, select the first
-option (install a boot manager) and then proceed to setup the other
-drive(s) for FreeBSD as normal.
-
-It should also be noted that "operating systems" such as Windows 95
-will completely overwrite your boot manager without so much as a
-polite "may I please destroy your boot manager?" prompt if you make
-the mistake of installing them second. If this happens to you after
-FreeBSD is already installed, all is not lost! Simply revisit your
-FreeBSD distribution directory and look for a tools/ subdirectory, in
-which you'll find "bootinst.exe" and "boot.bin". To reinstall, simply
-say "bootinst boot.bin" while in the tools/ subdirectory.
-
-
-If you see the boot manager displaying ``F?'' when you try to come up
-for the first time and it refuses to change, no matter how often you
-whap on the function key assigned to FreeBSD, then you have a geometry
-mismatch problem and you should read the next section for important
-information on how to prevent that exact problem from happening!
-
-
-Geometry Translation / Sharing the disk(s) with another OS:
-----------------------------------------------------------
-
-If you are going to actually install some portion of FreeBSD on a
-drive then PLEASE BE VERY CERTAIN that the Geometry reported in the
-Partition Editor is the correct one for your drive and controller
-combination!
-
-IDE drives often have a certain geometry set during the PC BIOS setup,
-or (in the case of larger IDE drives) have their geometry "translated"
-by either the IDE controller or a special boot-sector translation
-utility such as that by OnTrack Systems. In these cases, knowing the
-correct geometry gets even more complicated as it's not something you
-can easily tell by looking at the drive or the PC BIOS setup. The
-best way of verifying that your geometry is being correctly calculated
-in such situations is to boot DOS (from the hard disk, not a floppy!)
-and run the ``pfdisk'' utility provided in the tools/ subdirectory of
-the FreeBSD CDROM or FTP site. It will report the geometry that DOS
-sees, which is generally the correct one.
-
-If you have no DOS partition sharing the disk at all, then you may
-find that you have better luck with Geometry detection if you create a
-very small DOS partition first, before installing FreeBSD. Once
-FreeBSD is installed you can always delete it again if you need the
-space.
-
-It's actually not a bad idea (believe it or not) to have a small
-bootable DOS partition on your FreeBSD machine anyway: Should the
-machine become unstable or exhibit strange behavior at some point in
-the future (which is not uncommon behavior for PC hardware!) you can
-then at least use DOS for installing and running one of the
-commercially available system diagnostic utilities.
-
-IMPORTANT NOTE:
-
-Any root partition you try to boot from must also reside below the
-1024th cylinder. If you're using a translated geometry then this is
-probably not a problem, but if you are using a native disk geometry
-which exceeds 1024 cylinders then you could have a failure to boot if
-you end up installing a root partition (or even just the kernel file
-in a root partition) out past cylinder 1024. If you are trying to
-share your first disk with FreeBSD and another OS which was installed
-previously, you are particularly susceptible to this problem and should
-check your disk addresses very carefully.
-
-If you find that you have insufficient space below cylinder 1024 to
-make a root partition for FreeBSD (and again, this ONLY applies to the
-root partition - once FreeBSD's kernel is loaded, it doesn't care
-about the geometry issues) then you will probably need to install on a
-completely different disk (see the boot manager section above) or
-resize your existing partitions so that both operating systems can
-have boot partitions below cylinder 1024.
-
-You may blame IBM for the limitations of a 10 bit cylinder address.
-"No one will have a disk with more than 1024 cylinders." I'm sure
-someone said.

-You can do network installations over 3 types of communications links:
-
- Serial port: SLIP / PPP
- Parallel port: PLIP (laplink cable)
- Ethernet: A standard Ethernet controller (includes some
- PCMCIA networking cards).
-
-SLIP support is rather primitive and limited primarily to directly
-connected links, such as a serial cable running between a laptop
-computer and another PC. The link must be hard-wired as the SLIP
-installation doesn't currently offer a dialing capability (that
-facility is offered by the PPP utility, which should be used in
-preference to SLIP whenever possible). When you choose the SLIP
-option, you'll be given the option of later editing the slattach
-command before it's run on the serial line. It is expected that
-you'll run slattach (or some equivalent command) on the other end of
-the link at that time and bring up the line. FreeBSD will then
-install itself at serial speeds of up to 115.2K/baud (the recommended
-speed for a hardwired cable).
-
-If you're using a modem then PPP is almost certainly your only choice.
-Make sure that you have your service provider's information handy as
-you'll need to know it fairly early in the installation process. You
-will need to know your service provider's IP address, the IP address
-of your provider's DNS server, and possibly your own IP address unless
-your ISP supports dynamic negotiation, most do. If you do not choose
-a PAP or CHAP login you will also need to know how to use the various
-"AT commands" to dial the ISP with your particular brand of modem as
-the PPP dialer provides only a very simple terminal emulator and has no
-"modem capabilities database". If you choose a PAP or CHAP login you
-can simply enter `dial' (without the quotes) at the ppp prompt if your
-modem uses the Hayes compatible AT command set.
-
-If a hard-wired connection to another FreeBSD (2.0R or later) machine
-is available, you might also consider installing over a "laplink"
-parallel port cable. The data rate over the parallel port is much
-higher than what is typically possible over a serial line, and speeds
-of over 50KB/sec are not uncommon.
-
-Finally, for the fastest possible network installation, an Ethernet
-adaptor is always a good choice! FreeBSD supports most common PC
-Ethernet cards, a table of which is provided in the FreeBSD Hardware
-Guide (see the `Documentation' entry in the main menu). If you are
-using one of the supported PCMCIA Ethernet cards, also be sure that
-it's plugged in BEFORE the laptop is powered on! Sysinstall does not,
-unfortunately, currently support "hot insertion" of PCMCIA cards.
-
-You will also need to know your IP address on the network, the
-"netmask" value for your address class, and the name of your machine.
-Your system administrator can tell you which values to use for your
-particular network setup. If you will be referring to other hosts by
-name rather than IP address, you'll also need a name server and
-possibly the address of a gateway (if you're using PPP, it's your
-provider's IP address) to use in talking to it. If you do not know
-the answers to all or most of these questions then you should really
-probably talk to your system administrator FIRST before trying this
-type of installation! Choosing the wrong IP address on a busy network
-will NOT make you popular with your systems administrator! :-)

-The following options may be set from this screen. Use the SPACE key
-to toggle an option's value, Q to leave when you're done.
-
-NFS Secure: NFS server talks only on a secure port
-
- This is most commonly used when talking to Sun workstations, which
- will not talk NFS over "non privileged" ports.
-
-
-NFS Slow: User is using a slow PC or Ethernet card
-
- Use this option if you have a slow PC (386) or an Ethernet card
- with poor performance being "fed" by NFS on a higher-performance
- workstation. This will throttle the workstation back to prevent
- the PC from becoming swamped with data.
-
-
-NFS TCP: Use TCP for the NFS mount
-
- This option can be used if your NFS server supports TCP
- connections; not all do! This may be useful if your NFS server
- is at a remote site in which case it may offer some additional
- stability.
-
-
-NFS version 3: Use NFS version 3
-
- This option forces the use of NFS version 3 and is on by default.
- If your NFS server only supports NFS version 2, disable this option.
-
-
-Debugging: Turn on the extra debugging flag
-
- This turns on a lot of extra noise over on the second screen
- (ALT-F2 to see it, ALT-F1 to switch back). If your installation
- should fail for any reason, PLEASE turn this flag on when
- attempting to reproduce the problem. It will provide a lot of
- extra debugging at the failure point and may be very helpful to
- the developers in tracking such problems down!
-
-
-No Warnings: Disable some warnings
-
- This flag tells sysinstall, and particularly the disk editing
- routines, that you consider yourself to know what you are
- doing and disables various warning. It is not recommended that
- you enable this option.
-
-
-Yes To All: Assume "Yes" answers to all non-critical dialogs
-
- This flag should be used with caution. It will essentially
- decide NOT to ask the user about any "boundary" conditions that
- might not constitute actual errors but may be warnings indicative
- of other problems. It's most useful to those who are doing unattended
- installs.
-
-
-DHCP: Enable DHCP configuration of interfaces
-
- This option specifies whether DHCP configuration of interfaces
- may be attempted. The default setting is to interactively ask
- the user.
-
-
-IPv6: Enable IPv6 router solicitation configuration
-
- This option specifies whether automatic configuration of IPv6
- interfaces may be attempted. This uses the router solicitation
- method of automatic configuration. The default setting is to
- interactively ask the user.
-
-
-FTP username: Specify username and password instead of anonymous.
-
- By default, the installation attempts to log in as the
- anonymous user. If you wish to log in as someone else,
- specify the username and password with this option.
-
-
-Editor: Specify which screen editor to use.
-
- At various points during the installation it may be necessary
- to customize some text file, at which point the user will be
- thrown unceremoniously into a screen editor. A relatively
- simplistic editor which shows its command set on-screen is
- selected by default, but UNIX purists may wish to change this
- setting to `/usr/bin/vi'.
-
-
-Tape Blocksize: Specify block size in 512 byte blocks of tape.
-
- This defaults to 20 blocks, which should work with most
- tape drive + tar combinations. It may not allow your particular
- drive to win any records for speed, however, and the more
- adventurous among you might try experimenting with larger sizes.
-
-
-Extract Detail: How to show filenames on debug screen as they're extracted.
-
- While a distribution is being extracted, the default detail level
- of "high" will show the full file names as they're extracted.
- If you would prefer a more terse form for this, namely dots, select
- the "medium" detail level. If you want nothing to be printed
- on the debugging screen during extraction, select "low".
-
-
-Release Name: Which release to attempt to load from installation media.
-
- You should only change this option if you're really sure you know
- what you are doing! This will change the release name used by
- sysinstall when fetching components of any distributions, and
- is a useful way of using a more recent installation boot floppy
- with an older release (say, on CDROM).
-
-
-Install Root: Specify some directory other than / as your "root".
-
- This should be left as / unless you have a really good reason to
- change it. One good reason might be if you were installing to a
- disk other than your own, as might happen if you needed to prepare a
- disk for another machine which couldn't load FreeBSD directly
- for some reason.
-
- Note: If you set this option, you will only be able to install
- packages if the base distribution is also installed (usually
- the case anyway) since /usr/sbin/pkg_add will otherwise not be
- found after the chroot() call.
-
-
-Browser Package: Which package to load for an HTML browser.
-
- By default, this is set to links but may also be set to any other
- text capable HTML browser for which a package exists. If you set this
- to an X based browser, you will not be able to use it if you're running
- in text mode! :)
-
-
-Browser Exec: Which binary to run for the HTML browser.
-
- The full pathname to the main executable in Browser Package.
-
-
-Media Type: Which media type is being used.
-
- This is mostly informational and indicates which media type (if any)
- was last selected in the Media menu. It's also a convenient short-cut
- to the media menu itself.
-
-
-Package Temp: Where package temporary files should go
-
- Some packages, like emacs, can use a LOT of temporary space - up to
- 20 or 30MB. If you are going to configure a small / directory and no
- separate /var (and hence a small /var/tmp), then you may wish to set
- this to point at another location (say, /usr/tmp).
-
-
-Newfs Args: Specify default arguments to newfs(8)
-
- The default parameters used to build new filesystems.
- If you will be running a service that creates millions of small
- files or need to specify different default parameters for any
- other reason, you may do so here.
-
-
-Fixit Console: The location of the fixit console
-
- Specifies where sysinstall should start the fixit shell for
- interactive repair. Valid arguments are "serial" for a serial
- port, or "standard" for VTY4.
-
-
-Re-scan Devices:
-
- Reprobe the system for devices.
-
-
-Use Defaults: Use default values.
-
- Reset all options back to their default values.

-This is the FreeBSD DiskLabel Editor.
-
-NOTE: If you're entering this editor from the update procedure then

-the (M)ount command to check and mount existing partitions for
-upgrading.
-
-If you would like the label editor to do most of the following for
-you, simply type `A' for automatic partitioning of the disk.
-
-If you wish to create partitions manually you may do so by moving the
-highlighted selection bar with the arrow keys over the FreeBSD
-partition(s) displayed at the top of the screen. Typing (C)reate
-while a partition with available free space is selected will allow you
-to create a BSD partition inside of it using some or all of its
-available space.
-
-Typing (M)ount over an existing partition entry (displayed in the
-middle of the screen) will allow you to set a mount point for it
-without initializing it. If you want it initialized, use the (T)oggle
-command to flip the Newfs flag. When Newfs is set to "Y", the
-filesystem in question will be ERASED and rebuilt from scratch!
-
-
-You should use this editor to create at least the following
-filesystems:
-
- Name Purpose Min Size? Optional?
- ---- ------- --------- ---------
- / Root filesystem 118MB No
- swap Swap space 2 * MEM No
- /usr System & user files 128MB or more Yes
-
-Note: If you do not create a /usr filesystem then your / filesystem
-will need to be bigger - at least 240MB. This is not recommended as
-any media errors that may occur during disk I/O to user files will
-corrupt the filesystem containing vital system files as well. It is
-for this reason that / is generally kept on its own filesystem, where
-it should be considered essentially "read only" in your administration
-of it.
-
-Swap space is a little tricker, and the rule of "2 * MEM" is simply a
-best-guess approximation and not necessarily accurate for your
-intended usage of the system. If you intend to use the system heavily
-in a server or multi-user application, you may be well advised to
-increase this size. You may also create swap space on multiple drives
-for a larger "total" swap and this is, in fact, recommended if you
-have multiple, fast drives for which such load-balancing can only help
-overall I/O performance.
-
-The /usr filesystem should be sized according to what kind of
-distributions you're trying to load and how many packages you intend
-to install in locations like /usr/local. You can also make /usr/local
-a separate filesystem if you don't want to risk filling up your /usr
-by mistake.
-
-Another useful filesystem to create is /var, which contains mail, news
-printer spool files and other temporary items. It is a popular
-candidate for a separate partition and should be sized according to
-your estimates of the amount of mail, news or spooled print jobs that
-may be stored there.
-
-WARNING: If you do not create a separate filesystem for /var, space
-for such files will be allocated out of the root (/) filesystem
-instead. You may therefore wish to make the / partition bigger if you
-expect a lot of mail or news and do not want to make /var its own
-partition.
-
-If you're new to this installation, you might also want to read the
-following explanation of how FreeBSD's new "slice" paradigm for
-looking at disk storage works:
-
-
-In FreeBSD's new system, a device name can be broken up into up to 3
-parts. Take a typical name like ``/dev/da0s1a'':
-
- The first three characters represent the drive name. If we had
- a system with two SCSI drives on it then we'd see /dev/da0 and
- /dev/da1 as the device entries representing the entire drives.
-
- Next you have the "slice" (or "FDISK Partition") number,
- as seen in the Partition Editor. Assuming that our da0
- contained two slices, a FreeBSD slice and a DOS slice, that
- would give us /dev/da0s1 and /dev/da0s2 as device entries pointing
- to the entire slices.
-
- Next, if a slice is a FreeBSD slice, you can have a number of
- (confusingly named) "partitions" inside of it.
-
- These partitions are where various filesystems or swap areas live,
- and using our hypothetical two-SCSI-disk machine again, we might
- have something like the following layout on da0:
-
- Name Mountpoint
- ---- ----------
- da0s1a /
- da0s1b <swap space>
- da0s1e /usr
-
-Once you understand all this, then the purpose of the label editor
-becomes fairly clear: You're carving up the FreeBSD slices displayed
-at the top of the screen into smaller pieces, which are displayed in
-the middle of the screen, and then assigning FreeBSD file system names
-(mount points) to them.
-
-You can also use the label editor to mount existing partitions/slices
-into your filesystem hierarchy, as is frequently done for DOS FAT
-slices. For FreeBSD partitions, you can also toggle the "newfs" state
-so that the partitions are either (re)created from scratch or simply
-checked and mounted (the contents are preserved).
-
-If you set (S)oftUpdates on a filesystem, it will cause the
-"Soft Updates" policy to be in effect for it. This basically causes
-both metadata and data blocks to be written asynchronously to disk,
-but with extra state information which causes the metadata and any
-related data blocks to be committed in a single transaction. This
-results in async metadata update speeds (which are considerably
-faster than the default sync) without the potential for data loss
-which could occur if you simply mounted the filesystem with purely
-"async" update policy and then had a power failure. If you wish
-to later turn the softupdates policy back off, use the command
-"tunefs -n disable devicename". NOTE: It is probably not wise
-to use this on your root filesystem unless you have a large
-(e.g. non-standard size) root. The reason is that smaller filesystems
-with significant activity can temporarily overflow if the soft updates
-policy results in free'd blocks not being "garbage collected" as fast
-as they're being requested.
-
-The UNIX File System (UFS) on FreeBSD supports two different on-disk
-layouts: UFS1 and UFS2. UFS1 was the default file system in use
-through FreeBSD 5.0-RELEASE; as of FreeBSD 5.1-RELEASE, the default
-is now UFS2, with the exception of the PC98 platform. UFS2 provides
-sparse inode allocation (faster fsck), 64-bit storage pointers (larger
-maximum size), and native extended attributes (required for ACLs, MAC,
-and other advanced security and file system services). The selection
-of UFS1 or UFS2 must be made when the file system is created--later
-conversion is not currently possible. UFS2 is the recommended file
-system, but if disks are to be used on older FreeBSD systems, UFS1
-improves portability. When dual-booting between FreeBSD 4.x or
-earlier and FreeBSD 5.x, UFS1 file systems will be accessible from
-both. To toggle a file system to UFS1, press '1'. To restore it to
-UFS2, press '2'.
-
-WARNING: FreeBSD on i386 is currently unable to boot from root file
-systems larger than 1.5TB.
-
-To add additional flags to the newfs command line for UFS file
-systems, press 'N'. These options will be specified before the
-device argument of the command line, but after any other options
-placed there by sysinstall, such as the UFS version and soft
-updates flag; as such, arguments provided may override existing
-settings. To completely replace the newfs command used by
-sysinstall, press 'Z' to convert a partition to a Custom
-partition type. Sysinstall will prompt you with the newfs
-command line that it would have used based on existing settings
-prior to the change, but allow you to modify any aspect of the
-command line. Once a partition has been converted to a custom
-partition in the label editor, you will need to restart the
-labeling process or delete and recreate the partition to restore
-it to a non-custom state. Custom partitions are represented by
-the letters "CST" instead of "UFS" or "FAT.
-
-When you're done, type `Q' to exit.
-
-No actual changes will be made to the disk until you (C)ommit from the
-Install menu or (W)rite directly from this one. You're working with
-what is essentially a copy of the disk label(s), both here and in the
-FDISK Partition Editor, and the actual on-disk labels won't be
-affected by any changes you make until you explicitly say so.

-
-You are expected to leave this screen with at least one slice

-multiple FreeBSD FDISK partition entries for different things like
-swap, file systems, etc. The usual convention is to create ONE
-FreeBSD slice (FDISK partition) per drive and then subsection this slice
-into swap and file systems with the Label editor.
-
-No actual changes will be made to the disk until you (C)ommit from the
-Install menu or use the (W)rite option here! You're working with what
-is essentially a copy of the disk label(s), both here and in the Label
-Editor.
-
-If you want to use the entire disk for FreeBSD, type `A'. Slices will
-be aligned to fictitious cylinder boundaries and space will be reserved
-in front of the FreeBSD slice for a [future] possible boot manager.
-
-For the truly dedicated disk case, type `F'. You'll be asked whether or
-not you wish to keep the disk (potentially) compatible with other
-operating systems, i.e. the information in the FDISK table should be
-kept valid. A truly dedicated disk can be achieved by selecting `No'.
-In that case, all BIOS geometry considerations will no longer be in
-effect and you can safely ignore any ``The detected geometry is
-invalid'' warning messages you may later see. It is also not necessary
-in this case to set a slice bootable or install an MBR boot manager as
-both things are then irrelevant. The FreeBSD slice will start at
-absolute sector 0 of the disk (so that FreeBSD's disk label is identical
-to the Master Boot Record) and extend to the very last sector of the
-disk medium. Needless to say, such a disk cannot have any sort of a
-boot manager, `disk manager', or anything else that has to interact with
-the BIOS. This option is therefore only considered safe for SCSI disks
-and most IDE disks and is primarily intended for people who are going to
-set up a dedicated FreeBSD server or workstation, not a typical `home PC'.
-
-If you select the default of `Yes' at the compatibility, slices will be
-aligned to fictitious cylinder boundaries and space will be reserved
-in front of the FreeBSD slice for a [future] possible boot manager.
-This is pretty much equivalent to having chosen `A' originally.
-
-The flags field has the following legend:
-
- '=' -- This slice is properly aligned.
- 'A' -- This slice is marked active.
- 'R' -- This slice contains the root (/) filesystem
-
-If no slice is marked Active, you will need to either install
-a Boot Manager (the option for which will be presented later in the
-installation) or set one Active before leaving this screen.
-
-To leave the slice editor, type `Q'.

-HOW TO USE THIS SYSTEM
-======================
-
-[press the PageDown key to go to the next screen when you finish
- reading this one]
-
-The following keys are recognized in most of the dialogs you'll
-encounter during this installation:
-
-KEY ACTION
---- ------
-SPACE Select or toggle the current item.
-ENTER Finish with a menu or item.
-UP ARROW Move to previous item (or up, in a text display box).
-DOWN ARROW Move to next item (or down, in a text display box).
-TAB Move to next item or group.
-RIGHT ARROW Move to next item or group (same as TAB).
-SHIFT-TAB Move to previous item or group.
-LEFT ARROW Move to previous item or group (same as SHIFT-TAB).
-PAGE UP In text display boxes, scrolls up one page.
-PAGE DOWN In text display boxes, scrolls down one page.
-F1 Display associated help text.
-
-If you see small "^(-)" or "v(+)" symbols at the edges of a menu, it
-means that there are more items above or below the current one that
-aren't being shown (due to insufficient screen space). In text
-display boxes, the amount of text above the current point will be
-displayed as a percentage in the lower right corner. Using the
-Up/Down arrow keys will cause the object to scroll by line. The
-PageUp and PageDown keys will scroll by entire screens.
-
-Selecting OK in a menu will confirm whatever action it's controlling.
-Selecting Cancel will cancel the operation and generally return you to
-the previous menu. Use TAB to move the cursor around and select the
-buttons.
-
-Most screens obey the Help key (F1) - USE IT! It generally offers useful
-context-specific hints on what to do at each stage of the installation,
-and if you're at all unsure about what to do at a given stage in the
-installation, hit F1!
-
-
-SPECIAL FEATURES:
-=================
-
-It is possible to select a menu item by typing the first character of
-its name, if unique. This will generally be an item number.
-
-The console driver contains a scroll-back buffer for reviewing things
-that may have scrolled off the screen. To use scroll-back, press the
-"Scroll Lock" key on your keyboard and use the arrow or Page Up/Page
-Down keys to move through the saved text. To leave scroll-back mode,
-press the Scroll Lock key again. This feature is most useful for
-reading back through your boot messages (go ahead, try it now!) though
-it's also useful when dealing with sub-shells or other "expert modes"
-that don't use menus and tend to scroll their output off the top of
-the screen.
-
-FreeBSD also supports multiple "virtual consoles" which you can use
-in order to have several active sessions at once. Use ALT-F<n> to
-switch between screens, where `F<n>' is the function key corresponding
-to the screen you wish to see. By default, the system comes with 8
-virtual consoles enabled - you can enable more by editing the
-/etc/ttys file and turning the "off" field to "on" in the relevant vty
-entries (up to 12).

-You are free to change them, of course.
-
-
-User groups
-===========
-
-It's certainly almost generally a good idea to first create a new
-group for your users. Common names for such a group are "users", or
-even simply "other". Group names are used to control file access
-permissions for users that belong to the same group. Several group
-names are already used for system files.
-
-The numerical user or group IDs are often nothing you want to care for
-explicitly. If you don't fill in these fields, the system will choose
-reasonable defaults. However, these numbers (rather than the
-associated names) are what the operating system actually uses to
-distinguish users and groups -- hence they should normally be unique
-to each person or group, respectively.
-
-(The initial membership list for a new group is currently
-unimplemented, sorry.)
-
-
-Users
-=====
-
-The user's login ID is a short (up to 15 characters) alphanumeric ID
-that the user must enter when logging into the system. It's often the
-initial letters of the user's name, and commonly used in lower case.
-It's also the local mail name for this user (though it's possible to
-also set up more descriptive mail alias names later).
-
-The user's login group determines which group access rights the user
-will initially get when logging in. If an additional list of groups is
-provided which the user will become a member of, (s)he will also be
-able to access files of those groups later without providing any
-additional password etc. Except for the "wheel" case mentioned below,
-the additional group membership list should normally not contain the
-login group again.
-
-The user's password can also be set here, and should be chosen with
-care - 6 or more characters, intermixing punctuation and numerics, and
-*not* a word from the dictionary or related to the username is a good
-password choice.
-
-Some of the system's groups have a special meaning. In particular,
-members of group "wheel" are the only people who are later allowed to
-become superuser using the command su(1). So if you're going to add a
-new user who should later perform administrative tasks, don't forget
-to add him to this group! (Well, ``he'' will most likely be yourself
-in the very first place. :)
-
-Also, members of group "operator" will by default get permissions for
-minor administrative operations, like performing system backups, or
-shutting down the system -- without first becoming superuser! So,
-take care when adding people to this group.
-
-The ``full name'' field serves as a comment only. It is also used by
-mail front ends to determine the real name of the user, hence you
-should actually fill in the first and last name of this user. By
-convention, this field can be divided into comma-separated subfields,
-where the office location, the work phone number, and the home phone
-number follow the full name of the user.
-
-The home directory is the directory in the filesystem where the user
-is being logged into, and where his personalized setup files (``dot
-files'', since they usually begin with a `.' and are not displayed by
-the ls(1) command by default) will be looked up. It is often created
-under /usr/home/ or /home/.
-
-Finally, the shell is the user's initial command interpreter. The
-default shell is /bin/sh, some users prefer the more historic
-/bin/csh. Other, often more user-friendly and comfortable shells can
-be found in the ports and packages collection.
